विनोबा भावे आत्मदर्शन २

जिनको अपने चित्त के,
सूक्ष्म विकार खत्म करने की ,
तीव्र भावना है ,
उनको भगवदाश्रय  से बढ़कर
दूसरा साधन नहीं ।
जनवरी 14
.....
सूक्ष्मतर दोष ध्यान से,
भगवती प्रसाद से,
शांति से, निर्भयता से,
नम्रता से दूर होंगे।

जनवरी 15
.....
सेवा करते हुए, मैं परिशुद्ध आत्मा हूँ,
इसके सिवा अन्य कुछ भी नहीं,
इस भूमिका का अभ्यास करते रहें।
यही आत्मनिष्ठा है।

जनवरी 16
.....
प्रार्थना का रहस्य
आत्मा की गहराई में लीन होने की
कोशिश करने में है।

जनवरी 17
.....
मनुष्य का गुण अपने खुद के स्नेह से
दुनिया को स्नेहमय बनाना है।
स्नेहवन मनुष्य को दुनिया में
स्नेह के दर्शन होने लगते हैं,
यह अनुभव है।

जनवरी 18
.....

हमारी प्रत्येक कृति छेनी बनकर
हमारा जीवन रूपी पत्थर गढ़ती है।
अतः छोटी-से-छोटी बातों में भी
सजग रहना चाहिए।

जनवरी 19

......
जैसे H20 = पानी,
यह समीकरण रसायन शास्त्र में आता है;
वैसे ही मैंने जीवन का एक समीकरण बनाया है
त2 + भ = जीवन।
जीवन में त्याग दो मात्रा में हो,
भोग एक मात्रा में। तब जीवन बनता है।

जनवरी 20
......

मृत्यु का स्मरण
हमारे हर एक कार्य में
रहना आवश्यक है।
ऐसा मनुष्य कभी किसी भी
झमेले में नहीं फंसेगा।

जनवरी 21
......

अपने को जानना,
यह सबसे बड़ी जानकारी है,
जो मनुष्य के लिए जरूरी है।

जनवरी 22
......

होगा वही, जो परमात्मा चाहेगा।
हम तो उसके हाथ के औजार ही हो सकते हैं।
औजार भी तभी बन सकते हैं,
जब हम पूर्ण निरहंकार या शून्य बनेंगे।

जनवरी 23
........
यह देखने की बात नहीं की
मुझे क्या मिलता है।
इतना ही देखना होता है कि मैं क्या देता हूं।
जो देता रहता है,
उसके आने की सीमा नहीं।

जनवरी 24
......

सहज भाव से कितनी सेवा हो सकती है,
उतनी करने के अलावा
और किसी कर्तव्य की अपेक्षा
भगवान ने हमसे नहीं की है।

जनवरी 25
.....
निरंतर जाग्रत रहकर
चित्त की शुद्धि जो करता रहेगा,
उसके हाथ से सेवा उत्तम होगी।

जनवरी 26
.....

जिसका देहभाव नष्ट हुआ
और जिसने अपनी सब वासना
भगवान को सौंप दी,
उसके घर का काम
भगवान खुद करते हैं।

जनवरी 27
....
भगवन्  ।

मुझे न भुक्ति चाहिए , न मुक्ती ।
मुझे भक्ति दे ।
मुझे न सिद्धि चाहिए न समाधि ,
मुझे सेवा दे ।
जनवरी 28
.....
हवा अपने-आप मेरे कमरे में आती है।
सूर्य अपने-आप मेरे कमरे में प्रवेश करता है।
ईश्वर भी इस प्रकार अपने-आप मिलने वाला है।
बस, मेरा कमरा खुला भर रहने दो।

जनवरी 29
.....

जीवन का स्वरूप है सत्य-शोधनम् ।
मनुष्य का जीवन सत्य पर खड़ा होगा,
तभी उसे आत्मा का दर्शन होगा।

जनवरी 30
.....
हमारे मन में कोई सुविधा नहीं होनी चाहिए
कि हमारे जीवन का उद्देश्य क्या है।
यह तो नहीं कह सकते कि
कोई स्थूल कार्य उद्देश्य है।
जीवन का उद्देश्य तो परमात्म-दर्शन ही है।

जनवरी 31
...

विनोबा भावे आत्मदर्शन

आत्मदर्शन जीवन का काव्य है।
जनवरी 1
......

हमारे-आपके-सबके जीवन का लक्ष्य
इसी देह से, इन्हीं आंखों से
ब्रह्मविद्या का अनुभव करना ही
होना चाहिए   ।
जनवरी 2
......
आत्मा का असली रूप और अभी का रूप,
दोनों मिलकर पूर्ण आत्मचिंतन होता है।
ये दो बिंदु निश्चित हुए कि परमार्थ-मार्ग
तैयार हो जाता है।
जनवरी 3
.....

मां बालक के कानों में
एक ही आवाज गूंजने दे
आत्मा आत्मा आत्मा
जनवरी 4
.....

जीवन की शुद्धि, अंतर की स्फूर्ति,
विराट में आत्मदर्शन और
आत्मा में विराट की अनुभूति ।
कर्मयोग के साथ-साथ हो सकती है।
इसमें विक्रम जोड़ने पड़ते हैं।
जनवरी 5
.....
अहं का लोप हुआ कि समाधि लगती है।
परंतु इससे मनुष्य का कार्य समाप्त हुआ,
ऐसा नहीं। बल्कि,
असली कार्य उसके बाद ही शुरू होता है।
मुक्ति यानी व्यापक कार्य का प्रारंभ।
जनवरी 6
....

अपने भीतर  गुहा में प्रवेश करके
चिंतन करने की आदत सबको होनी चाहिए।
हमें अपने कार्य से,
अपने अहम् से और
अपनी प्रियतम भावना से भी
थोड़ा अलग होना चाहिए।
जनवरी 7
....
साधना का उत्साह प्रशिक्षण
वर्धमान होते रहना ही जीवन है।
एक क्षण भी व्यर्थ न जाये,
यह पारमार्थिक साधना में
महत्त्व का सूत्र है।

जनवरी 8
....

हम हमारी जिंदगी कितनी मान सकते हैं
ज्यादा-से-ज्यादा 24 घंटे की मान सकते हैं।
उससे ज्यादा मानना न केवल ज्ञान है,
बल्कि पाप है।

जनवरी 9
....
आज के दिन यदि हम अपना
सब कुछ भगवान को सौंप दें तो
कल से नहीं, इसी क्षण से
हमारा सब कुछ सुधर जायेगा।

जनवरी 10
.....

जब मैं बहुत से लोगों को
अपनी ही चिंता में डूबे देखता हूं
तो मुझे दया आती है।
जो खुद की ही चिंता का वहन करना चाहता है,
उसकी चिंता भगवान क्या करेगा

जनवरी 11
....

संसार से दूर,
मन की ऊंचाई-नीचाइयों से दूर,
शरीर की आसक्तियों  से दूर,
तटस्थ भाव से देखेंगे,
तभी ज्ञान की महान साधना
करने में सफल हो सकेंगे ।

जनवरी 12
......
हरि आगे है,
हरि पीछे है।
जहां हमारी शक्ति टूटेगी,
जहां वह प्रकट होगा।

जनवरी 13
.....

THE EQUALITY OF THE JNANI D. You have said that the Jnani can be and is active, and deals with men and things. I have no doubt about it now. But you say at the same time, that he has no difference, abheda, to him all is one, he is always in the Consciousness; if so, how does he deal with differences, with men, with things which are surely different? M. He sees these differences as but appearances, he sees them as not separate from the True, the Real, with which he is one. D. The Jnani seems to be more accurate in his expressions, he appreciates the differences better than the ordinary man. If sugar is sweet and wormwood is bitter to me, he too seems to realize it so. In fact, all forms, all sounds, all tastes, etc., are the same to him as they are to others. If so, how can it be said that these are mere appearances? Do they not form part of his life-experience? M. I have said that equality is the true sign of Jnana. The very term equality implies the existence of differences. It is a unity that the Jnani perceives in all differences, which I call equality. Equality does not mean ignorance of distinctions. When you have the Realization, you can see that these differences are very formal, they are not at all substantial, or permanent, and what is essential in all these appearances is the one Truth, the Real. That I call unity. . . . You referred to sound, taste, form, smell, etc. True the Jnani appreciates the distinctions, but he always perceives and experiences the one Real in all of them. That is why he has no preferences, whether he moves about, or talks, or does, it is all the One Real in which he does or moves or talks. He has nothing apart from the one Supreme Truth. - Sat Darshana Bhahashya

Sri Mooji This too shall pass Everything you see, comes to pass. Know that you are not that. All things that are heard, come to pass. Know that you are not that. All things that are touched, come to pass. Know that you are not that. All things that are tasted, come to pass, Know you are not that. All things that are thought of, come to pass, Know that you are not that. All things, which are imagined, come to pass. Know that you are not that. All things that are learned, come to pass, Know you are not that. All that is manifest comes to pass, Know you are not that. All things of the mind come to pass, Know that you are not that. That which does not come to pass, but inside which all phenomena come to pass, know That - to be yourSelf.

Sunday, 2 September 2018 at 11:48 UTC+05:30

Often, in the very moment the flower of pure consciousness is opening, some fear, nervousness and agitation comes up, or a sense of being lost. But something discerns that this is not the old kind of lost feeling. It is not the same old confusion. There is something exciting about this confusion; it is like you are on the cliff of the universe. Sometimes you have to be on the edge of the seat of your own life, not always hiding under the bed looking out. You have to be willing to stand on the cliff of your own existence and feel the air of infinite possibilities that you have never breathed before. In such a moment you will not know a millisecond of what’s in front of you. Nor will you be overly concerned. Facing the great abyss, you will say,“Here I am, take me.” And then plunge into the ocean of your own Source. 💓Mooji

Divine Grace is essential for Realisation. It leads one to God-realisation. But such Grace is vouchsafed only to him who is a true devotee or a yogin, who has striven hard and ceaselessly on the path towards freedom. (Talks 29)

"Don't expect anything from anybody, this is also a great freedom. Don't expect things to be different or people to be in service to you or your own life or projections. Feel gradually that natural feeling of detachment. Dont watch constantly with the eyes of relationship and past and so on. Stay faithful to your own discovery, leave the rest and life will take care of it." ~ Master Mooji

Spiritual Quotes added a new photo.
Thoughts manifest themselves within emptiness and are reabsorbed into it like a face appears and disappears in a mirror; the face has never been in the mirror, and when it ceases to be reflected in it, it has not really ceased to exist. The mirror itself has never changed. So, before departing on the spiritual path, we remain in the so-called "impure" state of samsara, which is, in appearance, governed by ignorance. When we commit ourselves to that path, we cross a state where ignorance and wisdom are mixed. At the end, at the moment of Enlightenment, only pure wisdom exists. But all the way along this spiritual journey, although there is an appearance of transformation, the nature of the mind has never changed: it was not corrupted on entry onto the path, and it was not improved at the time of realisation.

Bliss will follow if you are still. But however much you may tell your mind about the truth, the mind will not keep quiet. It is the mind that won’t keep quiet. It is the mind which tells the mind “Be quiet and you will attain bliss”. ~ Thayumanavar.

In bad company, the three poisons grow stronger, Listening, reflection, and meditation decline, And loving-kindness and compassion vanish- To avoid unsuitable friends is the practice of a bodhisattva. A crystal, when placed on a piece of cloth, takes on the color of that cloth, whether white, yellow, red or black. In the same way, the friends with whom you keep company the most often, whether suitable or unsuitable, will greatly influence the direction your life and practice take. - Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

A Sage has absolutely no teaching to give you. If you want to have a teaching, you’ll have to go to a spiritual teacher, a yogi, a meditation master. But a Sage never has a teaching to give you whatsoever. The idea is to just be in the presence of the Sage, that does the teaching. A Sage does not teach tantric yoga, kundalini yoga, hatha yoga, raja yoga, laya yoga or anything else. For all teachings are from the mind. Where else would they come from. They are all mental concepts. The Sage is beyond the mind, beyond the mental concepts. So how can a Sage give a teaching? A Sage is absolute reality, pure awareness. . Robert Adams

Ashtavakra Gita Janaka said: 1.1 Master, how is Knowledge to be achieved, detachment acquired, liberation attained? Ashtavakra said: 1.5 You have no caste or duties. You are invisible, unattached, formless. You are the Witness of all things. Be happy. 1.6 Right and wrong, pleasure and pain, exist in mind only. They are not your concern. You neither do nor enjoy. You are free.

Freedom is free but not cheap. In fact, it is priceless. It will cost you your world, your attachments, your life -- your own self. You will be paying this over and over until you are drained of all 'you' have and all 'you' have saved up. You will exchange all this for that which 'you' cannot have -- your eternal Being. ~ Mooji

If you abide in the ‘I am’ no desires and no karma will touch or affect you. If you remain in the ‘I am’ as ‘I am’ no harm can come to you, the main thing is not go out of it. If you take the ‘I am’ as your destiny no other destiny can befall you. Abide as ‘I am’ and you will see no world, no mind, no distinctions and no directions. - Annamalai Swami, LWB

A woman, with her necklace round her neck, imagines that it has been lost and goes about searching for it, until she is reminded of it by a friend; she has created her own sense of loss, her own anxiety of search and then her own pleasure of recovery. Similarly the Self is all along there, whether you search for it or not. Again just as the woman feels as if the lost necklace has been regained, so also the removal of ignorance and the cessation of false identification reveal the Self which is always present - here and now. This is called realisation. It is not new. It amounts to elimination of ignorance and nothing more. Sri Ramana Maharshi

Be careful of the I ego. we can get trapped in our own energy. We start assuming things. Brahme. Brahmas job is to generate thoughts. They create attachment if we are not mindful. Everything with name and form is maya. Be one with the pure blissful consciousness. Sadasiv. Om namah sivayah.

Maha Vishnu resting in Samadhi “When the mind is completely absorbed in one object of meditation, it is termed Samadhi. The mind identifies itself with the object of meditation. In Samadhi, there is neither Dhyana nor Dhyata (neither meditation nor meditator). The meditator and meditated, the thinker and the thought, the worshipper and the worshipped become one or identical. The Triputi (triad) vanishes. The mind loses its own consciousness and becomes identical with the object of meditation. The meditator has dissolved his personality in the sea of God, drowned and forgotten there till he becomes simply the instrument of God. When his mouth opens, it speaks God's words without effort or forethought through direct intuition and, when he raises his hand, God flows again through that to work a miracle. In Samadhi, there is neither seeing nor hearing. There is neither physical nor mental consciousness. There is only spiritual consciousness. There is only Existence (Sat). That is your real Svarupa. When the water dries up in a pool, the reflection of the sun in the water also vanishes. When the mind melts in Brahman, when the mind-lake dries up, the reflected Chaitanya (Chidabhasa) also vanishes. The Jivatman (personality) goes away. There remains Existence alone. Turiya is the spiritual condition where there is no play of mind, where the mind is dissolved in Brahman. It is the "fourth dimension," where there is infinite Brahmic bliss. It is not a condition of inertia, forgetfulness or annihilation. It is a state of absolute consciousness which baffles all attempts at description. It is the final goal of all. It is Mukti. It is Moksha. Generally, when you have what you call dreamless sleep, it is one of two things; either you do not remember what you dreamt of or you fell into absolute unconsciousness which is almost death-a taste of death. But, there is the possibility of a sleep in which you enter into an absolute silence, immortality and peace in all parts of your being and your consciousness merges into Satchidananda. You can hardly call it sleep, for there is perfect "awareness." In that condition, you can remain for a few minutes or hours or days; but, these few minutes give you more rest and refreshment than hours of ordinary sleep. You cannot have it by chance. It requires a long training. Samadhi is not a stone-like inert state as many people imagine. A life in the spirit (Atman or Divine) is not annihilation. When the self is bound down to its empirical accidents, its activities are not fully exercised and, when the limitations of the empirical existence are transcended, the universal life is intensified and you have enrichment of Self. You will have a rich inner life. You will have an expanded cosmic life and supra-cosmic life, too.” The Divine Life Society

When the individual soul feels renunciation towards worldly enjoyments, scriptures say it has reached its highest perfection. As the mind is freed from its choice and dislike of things, so the soul is liberated by avoiding its egoism and personality. Then it no longer is conscious of the pain that attends future birth and reincarnation. Whoever in his understanding comes to know this state of supreme and inexpressible joy, he is sure to overcome all his worldly appetites that bind him fast to this earth. But whoever labors in his mind with affections to this world, he has to wander in it continually and he destroys the supreme joy of his soul in his continuous turmoil.

Mind is an imaginary obstacle in the imagined self. But who perceives or imagines this? ~ Mooji
Tuesday, 28 August 2018 at 00:17 UTC+05:30
Say to yourself, "I am none of these things. I am simply awake. I am the absolute reality. Freedom itself." And remain in the silence. Do not look for signs. Do not look for experiences. Do not be so complicated. Become like a child. See everything with awe. Watch everything be alert. Understand it all comes out of your mind. By working on your mind this way you make the mind stronger not weaker. The mind develops greater powers. The idea in Advaita Vedanta is to totally annihilate the mind. To kill the mind that thinks this way. You do not want to think this way. You do not want to think. You do not want. You do not. You do. You. And nothing. Remain in the nothing. ~ ROBERT ADAMS

Question : I see you doing things. How can you say that you never perform actions? Sri Ramana Maharshi : The radio sings and speaks, but if you open it you will find no one inside. Similarly, my existence is like the space; though this body speaks like the radio, there is no one inside as a doer.

#quotes The apparently Self-realised person does not hanker after more pleasure in daily living, nor does he resist whatever comes his way as a sense objects. Wanting some thing positively or not wanting something negatively are both aspect of volition, and in case of apparently Self-realised person there is absolutely no volition. His sensorial apparatus responds to an external stimulus without the intervention of the mind. He lives his life 'like a dry leaf in the breeze'. He knows that his life is being lived according to God's Will or the Cosmic Law, like everyone's life, and merely witnesses life happening naturally. ~ Ramesh Balsekar

'I Am' itself is God. The seeking itself is God. In seeking you discover that you are neither the body nor the mind, and the love of the Self in you is for the Self in all. The two are one. The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one. Seek unity and that is love. - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. <3

This desire to be free has arisen in a very few people. Free in this life. This year. This month. Now. This desire will decide. Like a moth who falls in love with the flame and rushes toward it without any delay. No holding on or holding back along the way. How much time to become flame itself? Going toward the flame is the decision to be free -- going toward the Atman. The Atman consumes you, giving you eternal existence, eternal consciousness, and eternal bliss. And nobody knows it. Everyone is searching outside through the senses. Whatever you see, wherever you see name and form, it is not true. These names and forms will never give you peace or love. Whatever you see, feel, or experience through pleasurable sense objects ultimately will leave you hungry. So this is the decision and the discernment. With this discernment, this discrimination, a few will decide "I want to be free." They will find a teacher. The teacher is within you. The satguru is within you. Your desire for freedom is going toward that satguru, that Brahman. 🌹Papaji; Wake Up and Roar

DO NOT WAIT … Question: We know that the pleasures of this world are useless and even painful, yet we long for them. What is the way of ending that longing?

D.: I meditate neti-neti (not this - not this). M.: No - that is not meditation. Find the source. You must reach the source without fail. The false ‘I’ will disappear and the real ‘I’ will be realised. The former cannot exist apart from the latter.

When a man no longer confuses himself with the definition of himself that others have given him, he is at once universal and unique. He is universal by virtue of the inseparability of his organism from the cosmos. He is unique in that he is just this organism and not any stereotype of role, class, or identity assumed for the convenience of social communication. ~ Alan Watts

The individual soul being unreal, it follows that there is no perceiver of the world. This may be surprising; but it need not be so. The seer and his spectacle are inseparable; they are like the two ends of a single stick; as a stick will always have two ends, so every perception involves the two, the seer and his spectacle. The three, namely the seer, the spectacle and the relation of seeing form a triad, of which the essential element is the seeing, which becomes possible by the light of Consciousness; by that light both the seer and the seen are manifested. It is not possible to attribute reality to the seer, while denying it to the spectacle. If we accept the view that the spectacle, namely the world, is unreal in any sense, then we must also accept the view that the seer of the world is unreal in the same sense and to the same extent. The spectator is in fact an integral part of the world; both in waking and in dream the spectator and the spectacle form one single whole, appearing and vanishing together. The Sage brings home to us the spurious nature of the ego - the individual soul - by means of a parable. On the occasion of a marriage an uninvited guest, an utter stranger to both the parties, came in pretending to be an intimate friend of the bridegroom. At first the hosts, namely the bride's party, believed him and honoured him accordingly. But after a time suspicions arose and inquiries began to be made as to who he was and what right he had to come in. The two parties met and began to question each other. The impostor saw that he was sure to be exposed and treated as he deserved if he remained; so he quietly disappeared. Just like the impostor in this parable is the ego. It is neither the real Self, nor the body; so long as no inquiry is made, the ego persists and enjoys the status of the real Self; but when an inquiry is made - when the quest of the real Self is begun and persisted in - it will vanish, leaving no trace. This is exactly what we are told by the Sage in verse -25 of 'Ulladu Narpadu. - from 'Maha Yoga' (p-94,95), under the topic 'The Soul'. - Om namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya!

The longing of the worldly-minded for God is momentary, like a drop of water on a red-hot frying-pan. The water hisses and dries up in an instant. The attention of the worldly-minded is directed to the enjoyment of worldly pleasure. Therefore they do not feel yearning and restlessness for God. #Ramkrishna

From the book The Garland of Guru's Sayings 407. If the son of God, the jiva (ego-identified one) who has forgotten his real Nature [i.e., Self], eagerly inquires within, "Who am I that is lamenting over the miseries of life?'', he will realize his greatness, namely that he is truly One with his Father -- Self.

Self-realization is the cessation of thoughts and all mental activity. Thoughts are like bubbles upon the surface of the sea (Self). The false ego is associated with objects; the subject is alone the Reality. The world is seen by the mind’s reflected light. The moon shines by the reflected light of the Sun. When the Sun has set, the moon is useful for displaying objects. But when the Sun rises no one needs the moon, even though it is visible in the sky. So it is with mind and Heart. The mind is used for seeing objects. - Conscious Immortality

Bhagavan said, ‘The greatest scripture is the silent exposition. Only if you read this scripture will all doubts cease.’ To a complaining devotee who said, ‘I do not know where the ‘I’ is,’ Bhagavan answered by saying, ‘Be where the ‘I’ is. - LWB

"Without even knowing who we are we want to attain something else. That which we want to attain is that which we already are. The experience of any state or heavenly world that comes to us will eventually go away again. That which comes and goes is not the Self. That which is always within the experience of everyone, that alone is our real Self. That is liberation, enlightenment." ~ Ramana Maharshi

Your purpose is to be at peace, to love all beings, and to know who you are. This is the purpose of life. Slowly you will know this and get through. Q. What is peace? See things with an open heart and you will see what peace, love and beauty are and at that moment you will forget everything. Have you heard of Saint Kabir? He says, "If you keep quiet for an instant, for half an instant, for even half of a half of an instant, then the whole world will run after you." That is the attraction that you will become if you keep Quiet. You will be the most beautiful person and the whole universe will run after you to have peace of mind. You will become That and it is not difficult. ~ Sri Poonjaji ´Papaji´

"Heart" is only another name for the Self. Doubts arise only when you identify it with something tangible and physical. The Heart is not a concept nor an object for meditation, but is the seat of meditation -- it is the Self and stands alone. (Conscious Immortality)

As our physical bodies awake after dreaming and desiring, so our spiritual bodies awake after we cease to think of our physical states. In deep sleep we are devoid of desires. Similarly, in the state of renunciation, even though we are awake in our physical bodies, we have the tranquility of liberation.

प्रेम.


प्रेम..... बहुत शक्तिशाली संजीवनी है; प्रेम से अधिक कुछ भी गहरा नहीं जाता। यह सिर्फ शरीर का ही उपचार नहीं करता, सिर्फ मन का ही नहीं, बल्कि आत्मा का भी उपचार करता है। यदि कोई प्रेम कर सके तो उसके सभी घाव विदा हो जाएंगे। तब तुम पूर्ण हो जाते हो--और पूर्ण होना पवित्र होना है। जब तक कि तुम पूर्ण नहीं हो, तुम पवित्र नहीं हो। शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य सतही घटना है। यह दवाई के द्वारा भी हो सकता है, यह विज्ञान के द्वारा भी हो सकता है। लेकिन किसी का आत्यंतिक मर्म प्रेम से ही स्वस्थ हो सकता है।

वे जो प्रेम का रहस्य जानते हैं वे जीवन का महानतम रहस्य जानते हैं। उनके लिए कोई दुख नहीं बचता, कोई बुढ़ापा नहीं, कोई मृत्यु नहीं। निश्चित ही शरीर बूढ़ा होगा और शरीर मरेगा, लेकिन प्रेम यह सत्य तुम पर प्रगट करता है कि तुम शरीर नहीं हो। तुम शुद्ध चेतना हो, तुम्हारा कोई जन्म नहीं है, कोई मृत्यु नहीं है। और उस शुद्ध चेतना में जीना जीवन की संगति में जीना है। जीवन की संगति में जीने का उप-उत्पाद आनंद है............

TRUE FAITH AND REALIZATION

TRUE FAITH AND REALIZATION

D.: Distractions result from inherited tendencies. Can they be cast off too?

M.: Yes. Many have done so. Believe it! They did so because they believed they could. Vasanas (predispositions) can be obliterated. It is done by concentration on that which is free from vasanas and yet is their core.

D.: How long is the practice to continue?

M.: Till success is achieved and until yoga-liberation becomes permanent. Success begets success. If one distraction is conquered the next is conquered and so on, until all are finally conquered. The process is like reducing an enemy’s fort by slaying its man-power - one by one, as each issues out.

D.: What is the goal of this process?

M.: Realizing the Real.

D.: What is the nature of the Reality?

M.: (a) Existence without beginning or end - eternal. (b) Existence everywhere, endless, infinite.

(c) Existence underlying all forms, all changes, all forces, all matter and all spirit.
The many change and pass away (phenomena), whereas the One always endures (noumenon).

(d) The one displacing the triads, i.e., the knower, the knowledge and the known. The triads are only appearances in time and space, whereas the Reality lies beyond and behind them. They are like a mirage over the Reality. They are the result of delusion.
