Through the knowledge granted to me by the Lord

I came to realize that the reality that lies beyond the mind

is my own true nature.

In that state the objective knowledge

which dominated my fevered mind

dissolved and fell away,

and in holy silence the fire of a pure realization,

transcending duality,

was kindled within me.

(Muruganar -Sri Ramana Anubhuti)

"Consciousness alone is, 

and nothing ever exists beyond this consciousness. 

Once having known it, 

you become one with consciousness. 

There is not subject and no object. 

There is no experience, and none experienced. 

This is called freedom from everything."

~ Papaji

Because we think we are the body we imagine that Heaven exists somewhere, afar. The pure, bright world of Siva is not a place to go to.

Nowhere but in your heart alone it is.

(Guru Vachaka Kovai)

When you meditate, the ego rises and you become the meditator. 

In this process, you objectify Reality, which is actually who you truly are. So the best meditation is to simply keep quiet here. 

Don't follow any thought and don't activate the mind. This is true meditation. 

Knowing that you are meditating is not true meditation. When you keep quiet here, there is no meditator. There is nothing to achieve in the future, because everything is already here. The meditator rises from here. When you keep quiet that is no meditator, no meditation and no object of meditation. 

This is Existence-Consciousness-Bliss Itself. It is in this instant, in this space, It is who you are, desireless, Perfect Self. In the twinkling of an eye you are free!

Life always flows in search of joy and the highest joy is in the Divine. We must always aim to attain the Divine.
