Guru

The Guru's Grace (spiritual teacher) is both external and internal. From the outside, he pushes the mind inwards, and from the inside he pulls the mind towards the Self and helps it keep quiet. That is the grace. There is no difference between God, guru and Self. A guru's help is necessary and useful to start you on the inquiry, but you yourself must pursue it.

"Love is the foundation
on which
one's life
can become
guest."

Spirituality is not religion. It is a path for us to generate happiness, understanding, and love, so we can live deeply each moment of our life.
Having a spiritual dimension in our lives does not mean escaping life or dwelling in a place of bliss outside this world but discovering ways to handle life's difficulties and generate peace, joy, and happiness right where we are, on this beautiful planet.

A MEDITATION TECHNIQUE:
When you look, you are throwing a certain amount of energy. Wait, be silent, and allow that energy to come back. And you will be surprised.
If you can allow the energy to come back, you will never feel exhausted. In fact, you may be revitalized.

Questioner: On all sides I hear that freedom from desires and inclinations is the first condition of self-realization. But I find the condition impossible of fulfilment. Ignorance of oneself causes desires and desires perpetuate ignorance. A truly vicious circle!
Maharaj: There are no conditions to fulfil. There is nothing to be done, nothing to be given up. Just look and remember, whatever you perceive is not you, nor yours. It is there in the field of consciousness, but you are not the field and its contents, nor even the knower of the field. It is your idea that you have to do things that entangle you in the results of your efforts — the motive, the desire, the failure to achieve, the sense of frustration — all this holds you back.
Simply look at whatever happens and know that you are beyond it.
Q: Does it mean I should abstain from doing anything?
M: You cannot! What goes on must go on. If you stop suddenly, you will crash.
Q: Is it a matter of the known and the knower becoming one?
M: Both are ideas in the mind, and words that express them. There is no self in them. The self is neither, between nor beyond.
To look for it on the mental level is futile. Stop searching, and see — it is here and now — it is that ‘I am’ you know so well. All you need to do is to cease taking yourself to be within the field of consciousness. Unless you have already considered these matters carefully, listening to me once will not do. Forget your past experiences and achievements, stand naked, exposed to the
winds and rains of life and you will have a chance.

Love... is seeing the unity under the imaginary diversity. #SriNisargadattaMaharaj

2025-01-26 18:30:35 UTC

Questioner: How can we overcome the duality of the doer and the done?
Maharaj: Contemplate life as infinite, undivided, ever present, ever active, until you realize yourself as one with it.
It is not even very difficult, for you will be returning only to your own natural condition.
Once you realize that all comes from within, that the world in which you live has not been projected onto you but by you, your fear comes to an end.
Without this realization you identify yourself with the externals, like the body, mind, society, nation, humanity, even God or the Absolute. But these are all escapes from fear.
It is only when you fully accept your responsibility for the little world in which you live and watch the process of its creation, preservation and destruction, that you may be free from your imaginary bondage.
Questioner: Why should I imagine myself so wretched?
Maharaj: You do it by habit only. Change your ways of feeling and thinking, take stock of them and examine them closely.
You are in bondage by inadvertence. Attention liberates.
You are taking so many things for granted.
Begin to question.
The most obvious things are the most doubtful.
Ask yourself such questions as:
Was I really born?’ ‘
Am I really so-and-so?
‘How do I know that I exist?
‘Who are my parents?’
‘Have they created me, or have I created them?’
‘Must I believe all I am told about myself?’
‘Who am I, anyhow?’
You have put so much energy into building a prison for yourself. Now spend as much on demolishing it.
In fact, demolition is easy, for the false dissolves when it is discovered.
All hangs on the idea ‘I am’.
Examine it very thoroughly. It lies at the root of every trouble. It is a sort of skin that separates you from the reality. The real is both within and without the skin, but the skin itself is not real.
This ‘I am’ idea was not born with you. You could have lived very well without it. It came later due to your self-identification with the body. It created an illusion of separation where there was none. It made you a stranger in your own world and made the world alien and inimical.
Without the sense of ‘I am’ life goes on. There are moments when we are without the sense of ‘I am’, at peace and happy.
With the return of the ‘I am’ trouble starts.

The Pandit: “Well sir, how do you find Theosophy?”
Sri Ramakrishna: “Bhakti is the one thing needed – love for the Lord. Do they (the Theosophists) seek Bhakti? If so, it is good. If their ideal is God-realization, it is good. Just by believing in the lunar, the solar and the stellar regions, and in great souls, does not mean that one is seeking the Lord. One should practice spiritual disciplines to gain Bhakti for His lotus feet; one must call for Him with a longing heart. … God is not to be found in any religious text, philosophy, or in the Vedanta. You will not succeed unless you are restless for Him. … You need to have deep longing for God. …
Sadhana (spiritual disciplines) is essential. Can one see the Lord quickly, without any effort? … You can’t have the vision of the Lord just by repeating that the Lord exists. You have to practice sadhana.
Even Bhagavati (the Mother of the Universe) practiced penance seated on five skulls to serve as an example to mankind. Sri Krishna was the Supreme Brahman Himself. He also performed austerities for the instruction of mankind after he found the Radhayantra (Power of Divine Consciousness)”.

The Science of Relaxation
Action produces movements, movements cause habits. Man has acquired many artificial habits. He has allowed nature's original habits to lapse. He has brought tension to the muscles and nerves through hurry and scurry and incorrect habits of posture. He has forgotten the first principles of relaxation. He will have to learn lessons on relaxation from the cat, the dog and the infant.
The science of relaxation of the muscles is as important as their contraction. I lay great emphasis on the relaxation of the mind, the nerves and the muscles. Relaxation is of two kinds-physical and mental. There is another classification. If you relax certain muscles of certain parts only, it is partial relaxation. If you relax all the muscles of the whole body, it is complete relaxation.

Although it is necessary to make money, it is more
necessary to gain happiness.
Money is made for happiness and not happiness made for money.
Those who concentrate upon making money as their only happiness do not find real satisfaction, for no amount of money can buy happiness if it is lost through systematic wrong actions.
People surrounded with money but unable to use it
properly in order to make themselves and others happy, die of happiness thirst.
Many people forget that making money
is only a means to the goal of happiness.It is as ridiculous to concentrate upon the means and forget the goal as it is to keep traveling on a road and forget your destination.
It is meaningless to develop the habit of accumulating money and not use it to make yourself and others happy.
Many people make the mistake of running after money first instead of first seeking happiness.
To try to earn money with a disgruntled, worried mind is not only unsuccessful, but it produces more anxiety and unhappiness.
The best way lies in trying to make money after first making sure of happiness.
Earning money with a serene and happy attitude leads not only to success but ensures happiness also.
Happy people make others happy by their example, for actions speak louder than words.

Many people cannot allow themselves the time to sit and do nothing but breathe.
They consider it to be uneconomical or a luxury. People say "time is money." But time is much more than money.
Time is life.
The simple practice of sitting quietly on a regular basis can be profoundly healing.
Stopping and sitting is a good way to focus on mindful breathing and nothing else.

A dreamer dreams a dream.
He sees the dream world with pleasures, pains. etc. But he wakes
up and then loses all interest in the dream world. So it is with the waking world also. Just as the dream-world, being only a part
of yourself and not different from you, ceases to interest you, so
also the present world would cease to interest you if you awake from this waking dream (samsara) and realize that it is a part of your Self, and not an objective reality.
Because you think that you are apart from the objects around you,
you desire a thing. But if you understand that the thing was only
a thought-form you would no longer desire it. #SriRamanaMaharshi

Q: In turning the mind inwards, are we not still employing the mind?
A: Of course we are employing the mind. It is well known and admitted that only with the help of the mind can the mind be killed.
But instead of setting about saying there is a mind, and I want to kill it, you begin to seek the source of the mind, and you find the mind does not exist at all. The mind, turned outwards, results in thoughts and objects. Turned inwards, it becomes itself the Self.

"In reality, God is not to be attained through any effort.
Or to be more correct, we cannot even assert that He is attainable at all, for He is the very Self of everybody, He is the souls is souls.
Spiritual practices merely serve to remove the coverings over the inner vision, and when they are removed the soul knows its Own reality and becomes one with the inmost Self."

"The real fear of existence is not the fear of death, but the fear of life." It's the fear of waking up every day facing the same struggles, the same disappointments, the same pain. It's the fear that nothing ever changes, that you're trapped in a cycle of suffering you can't escape. And in this fear, there is a despair, a desire for something, anything, to break the monotony, to give meaning to the endless repetition of days. " Albert Camus https://nostrcheck.me/media/4707c8fa26c025f3694dc0a62d45fe597f7819deb8a45abb894f22cffbecb777/2b38b1362a24bd2e52f0dbc835c747b21551ab3922c95ef367a374bd968af0f2.webp

What is the mark of the ego?
The individual soul of the form of 'l' is the ego. The Self which is of the nature of intelligence
(chit) has no sense of l. Nor does the insentient body possess a sense of 'I'. The mysterious appearance of a delusive ego between the intelligent and the insentient, being the root cause of all these troubles, upon its destruction by whatever means, that which really exists will be seen as it is.
This is called Liberation (moksha).

Therefore, to leave everything to fate and to not actively contribute to the music of the universe is a sign of sheer ignorance.
The music of the world is all-pervading, and it is composed of 40 different levels.
Your destiny is the level where you play your tune.
You might not change your instrument, but how well to play is entirely in your hands.

Everybody wants to be something. You will find when you are satisfied with the way things are, just the way things are, right now, at any given moment, that's it. Just the way things are. Not when things are like this or things are like that.
Just the way things are. It makes no difference where you are, what's going on in your life, with whom you are living at this time, what's going on in this world. When you're allowed to be just the way you are, when you allow everything to be just the way it is, then you are yourself, for you're living in that split second of eternity.
It's like an atom exploding. You are that center that goes nowhere, yet is everywhere. And you're always living in that center, in that second. There is no time or space. There's only that second, the instant of a second. You have to find this out for yourself. You have to find this out for yourself.
Don't look at me. For all you know I may have escaped from the funny farm. (laughter) Find out for yourself. And you do this by keeping still!

Unselfish work leads to silence, for when you work selflessly, you don't need to ask for help.
Indifferent to results, you are willing to work with the most inadequate means. You do not care to be much gifted and well equipped. Nor do you ask for recognition and assistance.
You just do what needs be done, leaving success and failure to the unknown. For everything is caused by innumerable factors, of which your personal endeavour is but one.
Yet such is the magic of man's mind and heart that the most improbable happens when human will and love pull together.

Questioner: When your body dies, you remain.
Maharaj: Nothing dies. The body is just imagined. There is no such thing.
Questioner: Before another century will pass, you will be dead to all around you. Your body will be covered with flowers, then burnt and the ashes scattered. That will be our experience. What will be yours?
Maharaj: Time will come to an end. This is called the Great Death (mahamrityu), the death of time.
Questioner: Does it mean that the universe and its contents will come to an end?
Maharaj: The universe is your personal experience. How can it be affected?
You might have been delivering a lecture for two hours; where has it gone when it is over?
It has merged into silence in which the beginning, middle and end of the lecture are all together.
Time has come to a stop, it was, but is no more. The silence after a life of talking and the silence after a life of silence is the same silence.
Immortality is freedom from the feeling:
Yet it is not extinction.
On the contrary,
it is a state infinitely more real, aware and happy than you can possibly think of.
Only self-consciousness is no more.

Take the idea

You may take it to be true.
Itis not.
You were Never born, nor will you ever die.!
It is the idea that was born and shall die, not you.!
By identifying yourself with it you became mortal.
Just like in a cinema all is light, so does Consciousness become the vast world.
Look closely, and you will see that all names and forms are but transitory waves on the ocean of Consciousness,
