"Close both eyes to see with the other eye."
~ Rumi
*
Allow yourself to see the reason you were born on this
Earth and that which your soul seeks to embody and became at a physical level thus you create a new beginning for yourself
upon the Earth in this fantastic time of ascension.
This page is Not a comprehensive understanding of thought - the mind,
its power,
workings, usefulness and dynamics.
It is left for you to study, Expand - & Realise your Immortal Self,
and pursue
Divine Perfection - only if you are interested ...
Again, this site is not meant for most everyone; {it is all-inclusive and difficult to understand or to
accept or digest to the Western scientific hypercompetitive thick noetic sensual mind, that strives for the
elimination or annihilation of another entity, which is of the nature of outward selfish egoity, and for the most part,
might or will be rejected}, but sooner or later most of it will be accepted by all for personal & collective inward spiritual
growth from an offending humanity. Your level of peace joy happiness playfulness & Unconditional Love will require it,
- much effort devotion discipline & Self-Enquiry will be necessary if you desire & hope for unity & freedom from
pain separation and fear. There is much much more then what is written here, this is not even the beginning to discover
your True-Self, i.e., your Divinity - your place in the Universe - your Source.
Absorb what you can & begin there,
it is not easy, leave alone that which is your contract with life, i.e., what you need {the hard lessons} to learn -
lessons for you to experience, for you to grow - to awaken
- lessons for your own - 'Self discovery ...
Enjoy the sometime difficult & rewarding
process on your Path to, Self-Realization ...

The False Self Goes By Many Different Names :
Ego
Mind
Body
Thought
Thinking
Intellect Profession Possessions
The
Senses
The Impostor
Impostor Self
+
The person you became at birth and will cease to be at death is temporary and false. You are not the sensual,
emotional and intellectual person,
gripped by desires
fears and attachments. Find out your
real being. + Without
Self-realization, no virtue is genuine. + The higher can be
had
only through freedom from the lower. + Insanity is
universal. Sanity is rare. Yet there is hope.
because the moment we perceive our insanity,
we are on the way to sanity. + Now you see the body only. Try earnestly and you will
come to see the infinite
only. + Liberation is never of the person, it is always from
the person. + The reward of Self-knowledge
is freedom
from the personal self. + When you know that you are neither
body nor mind,
you will not be swayed by them. + To know
that you are a prisoner of your mind,
that you live in an imaginary world of your own creation,
is the dawn of wisdom.
To want nothing of it,
to be ready to abandon it entirely, is earnestness. + At present you are moved by
the pleasure-pain principle which is the ego. + The ego, like a crooked mirror,
narrows down and distorts. It is the worst of all the tyrants, it dominates
you absolutely. + Freedom from the ego-self is the fruit
of Self-inquiry.
Once you know its nature and purpose, you will not allow it
to create imaginary problems. + When the mind is quiet it reflects reality. When it is motionless through and through,
it dissolves and only reality remains. This reality is so concrete, so actual, so much more tangible then mind and matter,
that compared to it even diamond is soft like butter. This overwhelming actuality makes the world dreamlike, misty, irrelevant.
+ It is only your mind that prevents Self-knowledge. + To earn a livelihood some specialized knowledge is needed.
General knowledge
develops the mind, no doubt.
But if you are going to spend you life in amassing knowledge, you build a wall round yourself.
To go beyond the mind, a well-furnished mind is not needed.
+
Then what is needed?
Distrust your mind,
and go beyond.
What shall I find beyond the mind?
The direct experience of being,
knowing and loving.
+
Outward
attachment arises through sensual objects;
inward attachment, through personality.
Only he who, resting in the Eternal,
is free from passion,
is able to give them up.
+
There is no other danger for him who knows,
but this wavering
as to the Self's real nature.
Thence arises delusion, and thence selfish personality;
thence comes bondage, and therefrom
sorrow.
+
Bringing to an end the activity of the selfish personality,
all passion being laid aside when the supreme
object is
gained, rest silent, enjoying the bliss of the Self,
in the Eternal, through the perfect Self, from all
doubt free.
+
There is no unwisdom,
except in the mind,
for the mind is unwisdom,
the cause of the bondage
to life;
when this is destroyed,
all is destroyed;
when this dominates,
the world dominates.
+
Thinking
things not Self are "I" -
this is bondage for a man;
this,
arising from unwisdom,
is the cause of falling
into
the weariness of birth and dying.
----------------------------------------
Definitions of the words ego and Self:
EGO: ego is the thought "I" "Me" "Mine", i.e., {the false Self; the selfish-greedy-fearful-painful
& the covetous Self} - a drive to acquire power-attention-status seeking -
the sorrowful Self.
The ego is the idea of a separate, individual identity.
SELF: the Self is infinite-eternal-awareness-love-bliss.
Those are five
words pointing towards one awareness.
Awareness-love-bliss are not three, they are one. The
Self is the background of awareness. The background of awareness is the true Self -
our
Soul, the Divine spark that is in All of us, i.e.,
unconditional unmodified eternal active love.
The false self must be abandoned
before the real Self can be found.
Strive for this; desire this only,
find out your real being.
When all objects, external {material} and internal {notional} merge in consciousness,
there is pure being
of consciousness. This is the supreme vision which
happens to all liberated ones. This vision
is available
to one who has been "awakened", to one who is in a
state of deep contemplation, and to a man of Self-knowledge;
it is not experienced by the ignorant person. + Concepts,
beliefs and conclusions are not truly important.
What is truly important is Direct Experience.
Never read an authentic
Direct Path Teaching
as a theory for intellectual entertainment.
+
Choosing belief instead of Direct Experience
is one of the ego's tricks.
+
Thought is not a means to discover absolute Truth.
+
See the difference between
believing and knowing.
+
The ego will gather all the so-called evidence and reasons
to support what the ego wants
to believe.
+
The ego's primary motive is to preserve its imaginary self.
+
One of the ego's preservation strategies
is selecting spiritual teachings that are not direct.
+
Therefore, the ego directs thought to create concepts that
will help to preserve its imaginary self.
+
One of the tricks {ego preservation strategies} that the ego
uses
most commonly with spiritual aspirants is to confuse
intellectual "spirituality" with authentic spirituality.
+
Most
people only have an intellectual interest in spiritual
concepts and do not wish to end the ego.
+
Most people just
enjoy learning about the concepts.
+
There are some people who realize their interest is only intellectual.
+
However,
to go on and on reading thousands of spiritual or
religious books and discussing spiritual teachings is an ego
preservation
strategy to keep you in the realm of thought
instead of practice.
+
Endless reading of the false spiritual or religious
teachings
from the past and discussing spiritual or religious teachings
leads to illusion.
+
The way to end
all of the ego's preservation strategies is to
increase the desire for liberation. Practice leads to Liberation.
+
If
you drop all of your unnecessary activities, you will have
much more time for spiritual practice.
+
Your motivation
while reading is very important.
+
Most people project much thinking onto the teachings
that they read.
+ The ego projects thoughts and fantasies and the ego interprets. +
Their thinking has very little to do with the teachings
they have read.
+
Almost all humans are in
a state of chaotic confusion.
+
Most people do not realize that they are in a state of
chaotic confusion.
+
An extremely intense desire to directly experience the infinite-eternal-absolute Truth.
+
A willingness to
let go of all the ideas you have accumulated in the past.
+
An extremely intense longing to be free of sorrow and to
live in eternal-joy.
+
When the extremely intense desire for Freedom is awakened, clarity, sincerity, earnestness,
insight and discernment are also awakened, and then you can see what
is essential and what is not essential.
+
The
end of the ego is the end of all suffering and all sorrow
for all eternity.
+
The impostor self can be brought
to its final end.
+
What remains is Absolutely-Perfect-Infinite-Eternal-Awareness-Love-Bliss.
+++
Realize that ending the ego is the only truly worthwhile event that can
happen in a human life.
+++
The impostor self [ego] is very deceptive.
In almost all
humans the impostor self's desire to continue its imaginary
existence is much greater than its desire
to be brought to a
final end. Therefore, the impostor self uses numerous preservation strategies to insure the continuation
of its imaginary existence.
The impostor self has trillions
of potential preservation strategies. There are as many potential preservation strategies as there are possible combinations
of thoughts, beliefs, ideas, concepts and opinions.
The
impostor self is thought and controls thinking. One of the impostor self's preservation strategies is to direct people's attention
outward. Wasting time engaged in unnecessary activities when the time could have been better spent doing the most direct practice
that leads to Liberation is a preservation strategy the impostor self uses.
Historically, the impostor self has almost always been successsful. The impostor self has succeeded in enslaving
almost all of the humans of the past. Not even one out of
every one hundred million humans in the past has attained
Liberation. ---
This
is one of a Self Realization Series that I will post for the purpose of "Conquering all of the obstacles to Liberation that
the false self creates." The awakening of the extremely intense desire for Liberation will put an end to all of the impostor
self's preservation strategies.
The Two
Great Keys are:
1. The awakening of the extremely intense
desire for Liberation.
2. Self honesty.
Self honesty begins by actually seeing the
impostor self's preservation strategies, tricks and deceptions.

Three Things
Here are some triads
for your daily spiritual practices.
Practise three things:
non-violence, truthfulness and celibacy. Remember three things: death, pains of worldly existence
(samsara) and God. Renounce three things: egoism, desire and attachment. Cultivate three things: humility, fearlessness and love. Eradicate three things:
lust, anger and greed. Three things to love: desire for liberation, company of the wise and
selfless service. Three things to despise: miserliness, cruelty and petty- mindedness. Three things to admire: generosity, courage and nobility. Three things to hate: lust,
anger and pride. Three things for reverence: guru, renunciation and discrimination. Three things to pursue: solitude, silence, stillness, compassion. Three things
to control: tongue, temper and tossing of the mind. Three things to shun: evil company, evil
desires and evil actions. Three things to cultivate: cosmic love, forgiveness and patience. Three things to avoid: back-biting, falsehood and harsh words.
+++
I, God, am not high and mighty. I give My service. Sometimes, I am understood, and sometimes I am not,
and yet I keep moseying along. Often I carry you. We become indefinable in Our Service to the Universe. We are hardly self-serving.
We serve the Self, the Oneness of All Creation. This is the Glory We Sing. This is the Glory of the Self.

“Already have you learned that on Paradise, should you meet with the one you know as being ‘Without
Name or Number,’ you will instantly acquire all the knowledge this great Friend has gained during all primitive evolutionary
life and eternity."
“Countless new abilities are
within your reach, some of which are regular for Midwayers, even Angels and most of which are available by the grace of your
ever-patient Spirit from God. It is important to know what kind of mind you want to possess and it is important to realize
that in this mortal life you can reach far beyond the limitations of Intuition, Understanding, Courage, Knowledge, Counsel,
Worship and Wisdom to ‘converse with’ the Angels. It may take some perseverance, but you will not be disappointed.”
+++
The Spiritual Path Youth is the best time, the most fitting time
in a man's life, to devote himself to spiritual aspiration and sadhana (spiritual practice). The spiritual life is practical
from beginning to end. The love for the ideal should be single-minded and whole-hearted. The spiritual path is an unknown path which is as straight and
narrow as a razor. On it there is no other light than that of faith and divine grace to guide the aspirant. There is no other
sustenance than devotion. The
track ahead cannot be seen. The going is uncertain. And many pitfalls await the unwary. The traveller, the aspirant, must
travel in the dark. He must march courageously forward. He will reach great illumination at the journey's end. The spiritual path demands complete mastery over
the flesh. Proceed gradually. Intensify the aspiration you have. Have a keen thirst for the realisation of the supreme. Keep
alive thy aspiration, undiminished and bright. Be thou firm in thy faith. Empty thy heart of all earthly things. The spiritual life is a life of child-like
simplicity. What is needed in spiritual life is a sincere aspiration for the life of the spirit. It needs an earnest dedication
to it. And it needs a whole-souled devotion and application to the realisation of the ideal. Your heart must be solely and
entirely centred on God. It must be centred on God alone - deeply, passionately and steadily. Be sincere to thy very core. This is the most essential thing.
Spiritual life is based on the complete conquest of the lower nature. Upon this pedestal of perfect self-mastery and right
conduct, the edifice of godliness and divine life may be built. May thy spiritual life and example inspire one and all. - - - Man wants a fuller life. He lives for a fuller
life. That is life in eternal Brahman. Life is an endless series of awakenings. Understand life and the laws that govern it.
Then you will lead a life of harmony and peace. Life holds the key. Unlock the mystery of your own being and attain life eternal.

The Peak of Perfection You can climb the peak of perfection through
resolute will, intense dispassion, renunciation and rigorous meditation. Sublime divine thought is very powerful, it is a
dynamic transmuting force. Diligently seek the path of truth; tread it carefully and vigilantly, for you may slip and fall.
Love is harmlessness, kindness, compassion. Nothing can tempt you if you are regular in meditation. He who is pure at heart
has already found divinity. Renunciation of egoism is the direct way to the eternal. Knowledge of the imperishable bestows perfect freedom and independence. Where
egoism is, immortality is not; where immortality is, egoism is not. Concentration will give you great power. Collect the scattered
rays of the mind. Lust and greed make you a spiritual bankrupt. Purity and meditation bestow on you inexhaustible divine wealth. A yogi becomes the master-builder of the temple
of truth. Pass through the gate of wisdom - you will reach the illimitable domain of eternal bliss. He who is endowed with
discrimination and power and concentration climbs rapidly to the peak of illumination. Your real guru (preceptor) is your
own heart - he is the indweller, the inner ruler. Longing for final liberation is the hunger for the spiritual food of knowledge of the eternal. Mind is the mirror
through which the eternal appears as the universe of names and forms. Be in the world - not of the world. This is the highest
yoga. This is the eternal wisdom. The wise man is ever eager to learn, he never poses as a teacher. This visible world is the mirror of the invisible Brahman. You
are a slave of circumstances because you do not meditate regularly. You will easily get illumination in solitude. Solitude
has its own charms - prepare yourself for life in seclusion. Control and preserve energy through silence, brahmacharya (celibacy)
and pranayama (yoga breathing), - you will have wonderful meditation. Love that man who dislikes you - you will grow strong.
Money wasted can be restored, but time wasted is lost forever. Find out your centre - that centre is perfect harmony, eternal
bliss, your own immortal soul.

There are three essential ingredients for the development of consciousness
- music, knowledge and silence. Knowledge is logical understanding. With a few moments of silence practiced every day, we
can shift our awareness. This is called Patrata. Building the capacity of the intellect can happen in a few moments of silence.
The purpose of music is to lead you to a space of silence. And the purpose of knowledge is to lead youto a space of wonderment.

{Nothing Sticks Like Divinity}
+++
{One last word}
Elusive
Happiness Man wants happiness. He tries to get it from money, from power, from woman, from son, from position
and so on. He rushes from one thing to another trying to find happiness. He gets knocks, blows, failure and disappointment.
He laughs, dances, weeps and mourns. His senses get exhausted. He gets disgust for objects. Eventually he experiences that
sense objects are illusory and that real lasting happiness cannot be found in them. Man feels the need for a particular object. He tries to get it. If he succeeds
he is delighted for a moment. If he fails he is sunk in despair and sorrow; he is gloomy and depressed. If he loses an object
he becomes very miserable. As
soon as one want is gratified, another new want crops up. There is no end to his wants. Cares, worries, anxieties and fear
co-exist with wants and desires. Want is the product or offspring of ignorance. Brahman is all-full. All wants are satisfied
in Brahman. The restlessness
of the mind is kept up by all these wants. He who wants nothing is a mighty emperor of the world. Sri Shankara says: "That
carefree saint who moves about with a kowpeen or loincloth only, without possessions, without the idea of ownership, without
any wants, is the most happy person in the world." Wants and desires can be eradicated by Self-realisation only. Any number of zeros have no value unless you
add a '1' before them. Similarly, even if you possess the wealth of the whole world, it is nothing if you do not lead a spiritual
life, if you have no spiritual wealth, if you have no Self-realisation. You will have to add the Atman to the life here. That is why the Lord Jesus says:
"Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." - - - Mind is greater than the senses. Pure intellect
is greater than the mind. Atman is greater than the intellect. There is nothing greater than Atman. Brahman is without senses, mind, prana. He is within and without
all beings. He is immovable; he is extremely subtle. He is the light of all lights.
+++  |
Man of Self-Control Men of self-control become sinless and fearless. They acquire great results. Every sort of excitement is effortlessly
controlled by self-control. The enemies of the self-controlled man are seen by him - they are lust, anger, desire - as if
they dwell in a separate body. The
self-controlled man becomes desirous of liberation. He quietly bears present joys and sorrows and griefs; he is never overjoyed
or depressed by prospective ones. He is devoid of all vindictiveness and guile. He is unaffected by praise or censure. A self-controlled man is well-balanced. He has
good manners, purity and fortitude. He is a perfect master of his passions. He is devoted to universal benevolence. He never
feels animosity for anyone. He is tranquil, wise and cheerful. A self-controlled man is endowed with intelligence. He gains universal reverence. He fears no
creature and in return he is feared by no creature. Overcoming lust and anger, practising the vow of brahmacharya (celibacy) and becoming a complete master of the senses,
the holy one patiently waits. Practising the austerest of penances and observing the most rigid of restraints, he lives in
the world and calmly waits the time. He is like somebody who has a body and yet seems to know that he is not subject to destruction. - - - Meditation is freeing the mind from all objects
and thoughts of sensual enjoyment. If this is done then God-realisation comes of itself. God will enthrone himself in your
heart and meditation will come of itself. If you bring a light into a cave which has been dark for thousands of years, the
darkness will vanish at once, by itself. You do not have to strive to drive the darkness away. If you attempt to put your
hand into a pot which is filled with dust and dirt, you cannot. But if you empty it, then you can easily put your hand into
the pot. Even so, if you empty the mind of all its dust and dirt, God will enter into it in the twinkling of an eye.  |
+++
A mind
that has become no mind, and has come back to its source, is meditation. - Sri Sri
+++
Free yourself from the crocodile of desires. Do not be disheartened.
Cheer yourself up. Stand like a lion. Destroy the impure mind with the pure mind. Make friends with the satvic (pure) mind
and rest peacefully in the Atman. THE INNER BATTLE The soldier fights for a few hours only, But the aspirant's battle goes on day and night. It is verily a hard battle, a fierce battle And it lasts till the end of his life. This battle is raging in the field of the mind. Satva (purity) fights with rajas (impurity) and
tamas (inertia), Higher
mind wages war with the lower mind. Contentment fights with greed, Patience fights with anger. Brahmacharya (celibacy) fights with lust, Humility fights with pride. Fight, my brother, valiantly. Raise the sword of Ram Nam (the Divine Name). —So says Sivananda. |
+++
Your goal
is God. Your centre is God. Your ideal is God. Turn back to God and realise everlasting bliss. Resting on Him you will be
saved. As the lamp cannot burn without oil, so too, you cannot live without God. God is within you all the time, inspiring
you, lifting you up. Withdraw. Aspire. Meditate. Realise.
