desire

Avoid desire and aversion. 

Do not engage the mind much in the affairs of the world. As far as possible do not get entangled in the affairs of others. 

Giving to others is really giving to oneself. If one knows this truth, would one ever 

remain without giving?

If ego rises, all will rise. If the ego merges, all will merge. 

The more we are humble, the better it is for us.

- GEMS from Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi

birth mind

Talk 244

Maharshi: Why should one think of birth and death? Are you really born? The rising of the mind is called birth. After mind the body-thought arises and the body is seen; then the thought of birth, the state before birth, death, the state after death - all these are only of the mind. Whose is the birth?

Devotee: Am I not now born?

Maharshi: So long as the body is considered, birth is real. But the body is not ‘I’. The Self is not born nor does it die. There is nothing new. The Sages see everything in and of the Self. There is no diversity in it. Therefore there is neither birth nor death.

awareness

3. What is the nature of Awareness?

The nature of Awareness is existence-consciousness-bliss

4. When will the realization of the Self be gained?

When the world which is what-is-seen has been removed, there will be realization of the Self which is the seer.

5. Will there not be realization of the Self even while the world is there (taken as real)?

There will not be.

6. Why?

The seer and the object seen are like the rope and the snake. Just as the knowledge of the rope which is the substrate will not arise unless the false knowledge of the illusory serpent goes, so the realization of the Self which is the substrate will not be gained unless the belief that the world is

real is removed.

What does it matter if the mind is active? It is so only on the substratum of the Self.

Hold the Self

even during mental activities.

ध्यान

*_ध्यान करने से क्या फायदा होता है?_*

मेरे पास लोग आते हैं, निरंतर वे कहते हैं, कि आप ध्यान समझाते हैं, फायदा क्या, लाभ क्या, इससे क्या मिलेगा?

 

उनसे मैं कहता हूं, मिलेगा तो कुछ भी नहीं; बहुत कुछ खो जाएगा। तुम्हारी चिंता, तुम्हारी बेचैनी, तनाव, तुम्हारी दौड़, महत्वाकांक्षा, ईष्या , यह सब खो जाएगा और इसके साथ तुम्हारी सारी दुनिया का फैलाव। क्योंकि इसी पर तुम्हारा सारा तंबू तना है--इन्हीं खंभों पर। वह सब गिर जाएगा। मटिया मेट हो जाओगे, अगर ध्यान किया। 

 

ध्यान करने के लिए जुआरी चाहिए, दुकानदार नहीं। वहां दांव पर लगा दिया सब; मांगना क्या है? और यह मैं तुमसे कहता हूं, जो नहीं मांगता, उसे मिलता है, जो मांगता है, वह चूक जाता है। यह उल्टा गणित है। यहां जो मांगेगा, वह खाली हाथ लौट जाएगा। यहां जो बिना मांगे आएगा, उसका प्राण-प्राण, रोआं-रोआं भर जाएगा।

attention

"Let attention go to manifestation, 

just know that manifestations is Brahman.

Let there be creations and destructions, 

All is Brahman and you are beyond even that always."

~ Papaji

death

Dying to your own attachments is a beautiful death. Because this death releases you into real life. You have to die as a seed to live as a tree. ~Mooji
