Quiet a rude way

2010-04-19T09:29:00.000-07:00

Life had a beautiful meaning,
You came and made it meaningless;
No reasons, no purpose is left now,
Things are being done for no reason;
Quiet a rude way you have God to explain nothingness.

when you know 'I';
there will be no 'I'.

Deeds are being done but there is no doer

2010-01-18T12:50:00.000-08:00

"The world is the creation of the ‘I’,
the “I” which does not exist."

When a seeker goes within looking for the “I”, he finds that the “I” does not exist. The “I” who claims that “I did this”, “I did that”, is non existent. There is no doer or actor.

As Buddha said “There is a path, there is walking, but there is no traveler. Deeds are being done but there is no doer.”

Now this is not easy to understand, if we use our mind to comprehend it. Because what Buddha is saying is completely different from how we see things. Buddha’s statement comes from the Self and our perspective is dualistic. We say “a man is walking” but Buddha says there is just walking being done but there is no one who is walking. What does he mean, how can there be just walking, there has to be somebody who is walking? You can spend days, months, years but will not be able to grasp it if you will use the mind. An expression of no mind cannot be understood by mind. To understand this, you will have to experience what Buddha experienced. You will have to see what Buddha saw. You will have to ask yourself the same question which Siddhartha asked – “Who am I”. Next time when you are walking, laughing, eating… just ask yourself who is the one who is doing all this. Who is laughing, who is eating, who is walking. Be completely silent in that moment, just give yourself completely to that question. Only then will you experience what Buddha experienced. In that moment of silence, you will find that no body is in there, who is doing all that. There is just laughing, walking, or eating happening with no doer or actor really there.

Self-Realization

2010-01-18T12:46:00.000-08:00

Q. If there is only Self, then who is the one who realizes the Self?
T. Self is the source from where the mind arises and in the mind arises, a thought of separation. Self-realization is nothing but removing of this ignorance.
Q. So what happens is that the thought of separation gets dropped. Right?
T. Yes
Q. Does the thought gets dropped or does it gets replaced by another thought that “I am not separate”?
T. When the mind enquires into the reality, the search leads the mind to the source from where it originates. The direct experience of the pure consciousness gets registered in the mind and depending on the level of conditioning that the mind has received previously, it either gets completely emptied instantly or the process of un-conditioning might take some time.
Q. So till the time mind is not emptied, realization is not complete?
T. Realization is as illusory as the thought of separation in the mind. Thought of separation does not make it separate. My dad asked me a riddle once. Let me share it with you, may be it will answer your question. There are three monkeys sitting on the branch of a tree. One monkey thought of jumping off. Now how many are still left on the tree?
Q. Three
T. Precisely. Thinking of jumping does not imply the monkey has jumped.
Q. So if the thought of separation does not make us separate then why there is a need to get rid of this thought?
T. Who is saying there is a need to get rid of this thought?
Q. All sages say.
T. They say a lot of things. Do you follow everything they say?
Q. No.
T. Then why this? Ignore it as you ignore the rest of their sayings. You are interested in it not because the sages say so but because the thought of separation has led the mind to wandering and therefore a feeling of fear, anxiety, uneasiness, and sorrow.
These feelings are as unreal as the thought of separation. Let the mind enquire into the reality, the real will annihilate the unreal.

A Small Conversation with God

I asked God, is there a thought that can bring me near you?
God smiled and replied, thought is what takes you away from me …

The world is the creation of the ego-self ‘I’;
The ‘I’ which does not exist.

No Falling Back

2009-09-20T03:16:00.000-07:00

Science says, far-far away in the space nothing falls back
Because the gravitational force is not as prominent as it is on the earth
Are the Self and Duality also two different planes like earth and space?
In duality there is always a gravitational force of the ego-self “I” to pull one down.
And in the Self, this force does not exist at all.

If you have come to this page coz you love yourself,
And you want a happy and a positive life,
Leave immediately.
Google for happiness or positive thinking,
You will find a lot of material to stuff your ego.
This place is not for you,
Coz this is a place of destruction.
All your beliefs will be destroyed.
The ego you carry and protect will be shattered to pieces.
Assumptions you have made about yourself will be ripped one by one.
Till the time nothing is left,
Coz that’s what you are - NOTHING

The world told you a story,
And you believed it.
And you call yourself wise.
They gave you a formula to survive,
And you believed it.
Like a pendulum, you endlessly go back and forth
Between joy and sorrow,
Success and failure,
Hope and despair.
Still you can’t make out if the formula given is correct.

You see problems everywhere,
But you don’t see the originator is no one other than you.
You share hatred but you want love.
You live in jealousy all the time,
But you want the world to celebrate your success.

Go back
You don’t want to know more
You don’t like to hear the truth
You like stories
Stories keep you busy
That’s why they have been shared with you
To keep you busy
Otherwise you will find the truth
The truth which is not as exciting as your stories
The truth which denies the very existence of your individuality
The truth that will take away all your possessions
And leave you empty

And believe me you don’t like emptiness
You are so used to notions, judgments, and opinions
What will you do without them?
Things will appear as is
You will not be able to add or subtract anything
You have been taught math all your life
You see benefits, losses
You calculate, you forecast
Emptiness will first swallow all these tools of yours
And will then swallow you

You have not come here to die
You want to live
I am so sorry not live but survive
So you must leave immediately
Before the thought of self-enquiry takes root
Before it ignites the urge to investigate into the reality
The reality which lies beyond thoughts and words
The reality where “you” and “I” don’t exist
There exists only ONE

So, if you love yourself, leave immediately.

The journey to the Self is a little complicated;
The more one walks towards it, the farther it goes;
The moment one stops, one finds oneself there.

What keeps a fool running is, the ignorance that he is complete
What keeps a wise peaceful is, the knowledge that he is complete

Realization

2009-09-01T12:53:00.000-07:00

Realization is a journey from becoming to be~~com~~ing (being)
It is not becoming something but just being
being in the present with no hopes for tomorrow
and no regrets for the past

The Miracle of the Son of God

2009-09-01T12:50:00.000-07:00

Thoughts obstruct us from experiencing the miracle. The miracle which is in the NOW. Thoughts take us in the future, which may or may not be there or they keep us in the past, which is already gone and may not come again but they don’t let us experience the NOW i.e. they don’t let us experience the real. All spiritual masters, irrespective of the religion we categorize them (coz for them there is only one religion, religion of oneness), have emphasized on living in the NOW. They themselves have always lived in the NOW. They have never tried to change it, no matter how it is. Be it Jesus Christ, who was crucified or Lord Ram who faced fourteen years of exile. People who were crucifying Christ were expecting a miracle to happen. They thought if he claims himself to be a son of God, a miracle should happen and God should save him. But in expectation of a miracle, they missed the real miracle which was already happening in that NOW. They missed that the person they were torturing was:
- showering them with love and mercy.
- happily accepting what was in for him in that NOW. Not running from it. Not complaining about it. Just being completely one with it, with the same love and compassion as otherwise.
This was the miracle of the son of God accepting what God had written for him in that moment with utmost love. Only a son can do it.

To gain wisdom, you must be empty
To be empty, you must be silent
To be silent, you must be thoughtless
And to be thoughtless, you must be aware…
You must be aware of this beautiful NOW…
The NOW which is beautiful and complete.
