Liberation
Everyone who attains liberation
must go through difficult experiences,
lots of troubles, tribulations and fear for some time.
Bigger than you imagine can come.
Actually, we are all experiencing these things on drip-feed
throughout the life, but remain unaware of this.
And if they are coming more intensely now
it is because you are at a stage where you can bear their weight.
Perhaps more love or the presence of a supporting spiritual being
raises your courage and new possibilities begin flowering.
But if you want to keep or protect your person,
these forces will grow and wrap themselves
around any sense of self you take yourself to be.
Self-inquiry, contemplation, self-surrender help you to surrender,
to offer everything up to the higher power
and to merge yourself with the God-Self.
And thus you find every good thing is with you.
The greatest love becomes your fragrance.
The greatest power flows inside you.
Nevertheless, doubts, hesitations and resistance will come.
Know all is well if you don't turn to yourself personally.
If you turn to yourself, turn to yourself Impersonally.
Thus you turn to the Supreme, to the Lord of the universe.
Just keep your head there under His holy feet
until duality and unicity become one.

Bondage
"Bondage is when the mind is tangled in one of the senses, and liberation is when the mind is not tangled in any of the senses."
~ Ashtavakra Gita.
Mind is always engaged in the pursuit of pleasures of senses- be it the pleasure of greater knowledge, greater power, physical satisfaction, a new experience or any thing this clever, cunning mind can envision.
We may ask what is wrong in it? For the very simple reason that pleasure bring pain, frustration, sorrow and fear, howsoever we avoid them. Pain is the shadow of pleasure. Because when we are denied a pleasure which we desire and seek earnestly, we become anxious, envious, fearful and hateful. A inner- conflict arises, and that is the cause of our bondage.
Those who know don't talk
Those who know don't talk.
Those who talk don't know.
Close your mouth,
block off your senses,
blunt your sharpness,
untie your knots,
soften your glare,
settle your dust.
This is the primal identity.
Be like the Tao.
It can't be approached or withdrawn from,
benefited or harmed,
honored or brought into disgrace.
It gives itself up continually.
That is why it endures.
~ Lao Tzu
...from "Tao Te Ching" (verse 56), translation by S. Mitchell

Consciousness
You are consciousness. You are empty. You are just in this moment only. Whenever you see name and form you are sleeping. What do you see in the world without name and form?
Where is consciousness as pure, immaculate eternity, permanent happiness, love and bliss? When you look from there, from emptiness, you see everything. Nothing beyond that. Nothing to do. Only to be as you are.
We have misconceived ourselves, that we have been born and we are the body and we are suffering and we have to die. Where it comes from nobody knows; it is just a concept. It is not real. You have been trained by your family, your society, your religion. Yet this emptiness is your own nature. This is what you are, and really you need not do anything about it. You need not do penance or retire to a cave.
Screen doesn't Change
You are the screen which doesn't change.
Oceans of water cannot make you wet,
fires will not burn you and
movies of romance will not affect you.
So allow the projections of the mind
which is everything you see within and without.
Like this you must remain That which is untouched,
That which is before identification and intellectual grasps.
This is eternal Being.
