Jnani

A jnani has no karma [that is, a jnani performs no actions]. That is his [her] experience. Otherwise he is not a jnani. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

नामबोध

श्रीब्रह्मचैतन्य श्रीगोंदवलेकर महाराजांचा नामबोध
२३ मे
देवाकरिता स्वतःला विसरावे.
तुम्ही स्वतःला दिवसातून एकदा तरी विसरता की नाही ? हल्ली आपण आपल्याला विसरतो, पण ते विषयाकरिता विसरतो. स्वतःला विसरावे, पण ते विषयाकरिता विसरू नये. भजन करीत असताना देहभाव विसरून भजन करावे. आपण आता तसे करतो का ? भजन म्हणत असताना कोणी ताल चुकला की लगेच आपण रागावतो; ते खरे भजन होत नाही. म्हणून भजन करावे आणि तशी सवय ठेवावी, म्हणजे देहभाव विसरता ये‍ईल. विषयाच्या अधीन न होता संसार करावा. व्यवहारात काम, क्रोध, लोभ वगैरे सर्व काही असावे, पण आपण त्यांच्या स्वाधीन न होता, त्यांना आपल्या ताब्यात ठेवून वागावे; म्हणजे देहभाव आपोआप नष्ट हो‍ऊन जाईल. हे सर्व साधायला, परमेश्वराला शरण जाणे हा एकच सोपामार्ग आहे; आणि त्याकरिता नामस्मरणात राहणे हेच साधन आहे. विषय बरोबर घेऊन गुरूकडे गेलो, तर गुरूची खरी भेट होईल का ? ती शक्य नाही. याकरिता, ते सांगतील ते साधन आधी करावे म्हणजे चित्त शुद्ध होते, आणि ते झाल्यावर त्यांची खरी भेट होते.
परमात्म्याचे स्मरण । यातच विषयाचे विस्मरण ॥

Self

Forget trying to be One with everything. Unicity will be revealed. Do not try to be One. How far will you go? You get to reach a point where you will exclude someone if you try to include everything. First be completely alone, go in the opposite direction.

~ Mooji

SAGEHOOD AS AN IDEAL

SAGEHOOD AS AN IDEAL

Q. Do you have thoughts?
Sri Ramana: I usually have no thoughts.

Q. But when you are reading?
A. Then I have thoughts.

Q. And when someone asks you a question?
A. Then, too, I have thoughts when replying, not
otherwise.

Q. How can I keep the idea of that real state always
before me?
A. Because you think you are a body you are not able to keep that single idea, you are not firm!
The idea that you must go to Tiruvannamalai and see Maharshi is only a function of the intellect.

Really no help is required. You are already in your original state; how can anyone help you to arrive where you already are? The help given is only to clear out your wrong notions. The great men, the gurus can help only by removing the obstacles in your way.

A child and Jnani are in some ways similar. The child ceases to think of incidents after they have passed off. Thus
it shows that they do not leave deep impressions on the child's mind. So too with a Jnani.

Conscious Immortality

Mind

A man was worried because he could not succeed in concentrating the mind.

Sri Ramana: Is it not only One even now? It always remains One only. Diversity lies in your imagination only. Unitary Being need not be acquired.

Jnani

The jnani knows all is of the Self, or all this is Brahman. If there be pain let it be. It is also part of the Self. The Self is poorna [perfect]. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi
