Let the world bother about its reality or falsehood. Find out first about your own reality. Then all things will become clear. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

Sometimes the presence of the Lord is too much.

You try to go to bed but the bed rejects you.

Sleep rejects you.

Sleep says, 'Go. I don't want you now.

Go and stay with Him.

Go and be with your Lord.

Keep the Lord's company. This night you will not sleep.'

Sometimes we are on fire like this

and no water can quench this fire.

You find yourself leaving your house.

You step out under the moonlight,

under the stars to try and cool off

and it is not happening.

It even gets more intense.

You are full of the brightness of the spirit.

This body is made for the holy spirit.

You have to drink God's 'Rum Punch'.

When you are drunk in the holy spirit you will forget

everything except him. This is freedom itself.

The house of sorrow is burning

and only the clear space of God is left.

Only that cannot be burnt.

~ Mooji, from the book 'White Fire'

D: What is Maya? Illusion?

B: Seeing ice without seeing that it is water is illusion, Maya. Therefore saying things like killing the mind or anything like that also has no meaning, for after all mind also is part and parcel of the Self. Resting in the Self or inhering in the Self is mukti, getting rid of Maya. Maya is not a separate entity. Absence of light is called darkness, so also absence of Knowledge, Illumination etc., is called ignorance, illusion or Maya.

(From 'Crumbs from His Table', ch. 11)
