AVADHUT GITA

 

Joseph P. Kauffman

 

“The consciousness inhabiting your body is exactly the same as the consciousness inhabiting my body. We are one. The delusion that we are separate beings comes from identifying with the world of form—with our names, our bodies, our roles, our beliefs, our thoughts, and all of the mental constructs that we have created; but even these are more connected to the universe than we realize.”

• Hazrat Inayat Khan

 "Everything Becomes Spiritual Once This Door Of The Chember Of The Heart Is Open."    

Sri Yuktheswarji with Paramahamsaji, chapter 14, Autobiography of a Yogi.

" You must not get overdrunk with ecstasy. Much work yet remains for you in the world. Come, let us sweep the balcony floor; then we shall walk by the Ganges".

         I fetched a broom; Master, I know, was teaching me the secret of balanced living. The soul must stretch over the cosmogonic abysses, while the body performs it's daily duties.

Teachings of Brahmrishi Vishvatma BawraWhen

 

the intellect realizes that cosmic intellect is the source of its existence, then the deepest stage begins where the practitioner can realize that manifested form is a projection of unmanifest energy, and unmanifest energy is the power of one supreme consciousness, purusha, the supreme being. Then, the great tranquility beyond description is experienced.

💙 Papaji

In I AM there is no experience. You only have to give up the experiences that I AM is not. "I am so and so." This is the experience. I AM, to have an experience, has become somebody. I AM is existence. I AM is awareness. Finish at the I AM and tell me what experience you will get.

And this I AM contains all the cosmos. So there is nothing to attain or do. Just end at I AM and see what the experience is. I AM is eternal. Here, death can't enter. It is here in waking, deep sleep, and dreaming. Nothing to lose or gain.

To become something, to expect something, you have to do something. To remain I AM you don't have to do anything. Its fullness is emptiness. I AM is the ocean, and the waves are the cosmos, the universe, all happenings. And you can enjoy. This is called Leela's sport.

AVATAR MEHER BABA

 

You eternally were and always will be.

You have had innumerable forms as man and woman, beautiful and ugly, strong and weak, healthy and sickly, powerful and helpless, and now you are here again in another form

Until you gain spiritual freedom you will be invested with many such forms, so why seek temporary relief now which would only result in further bindings later?

Do not ask God for money, fame, power, health, or children, but seek His grace and it will lead you to eternal bliss.

"I shall tell you briefly of the ultimate state which knowers of the Ved call the imperishable, and which is realized by men who aspire for it, act without desire, and practise continence.’’

As was observed in the exposition of the fourteenth verse of Chapter 6, continence is uninterrupted concentration on God through a rejection of all external associations from the mind rather than a mere curbing of the sexual urge. Constant meditation is true continence, for it is this that brings about perception of God and the final absolution. Such an exercise is the restraint of not one sense, but of all senses. Men who can do this are true celibates. What Sri KrishnA is going to tell Arjun about this discipline is therefore something that is fit to be cherished by all hearts.

Papaji ✅ Eternal Rest.

 

I say to people,

"Sit quietly and watch where the mind goes."

If you observe it you will see that it is always running off to enjoy or suffer experiences that belong to the past.

So,

whenever you catch it doing this,

bring it back to the present moment.

In this present moment there are no dialogues going on.

In this present moment there is nothing to control or repress.

The mind is just like a thief.

It is stealing your happiness by making you run after things and ideas that make you suffer all the time.

Bring it back to the present each and every time you find that it is wandering somewhere else.

This thief in your head loots your property, your happiness, every waking moment.

And you allow him.

You make friends with him and let him do what he wants.

Why should you fondle and be friends with a snake that is going to bite you and make you suffer?

Show the mind the way home and don't let it make you suffer all the time.

The internal dialogue will go on interminably until you decide to stop indulging in it.

This dialogue continues all day and even at night while you are dreaming.

If you are serious about stopping it,

by taking a firm decision and sticking to it.

"I am going to do it now. If not now, then during this life span."

If that intense determination is there, that determination itself will be enough to stop the flow.

76. Total abidance in the Self is possible after the eradication of ignorance. Fluctuation of mind caused by unchecked senses is the hindrance. This leads to enervation of mind making it incapable to enter the Heart, the seat of the Self.

These defects can be overcome only by a committed campaign against the mental traffic.

There are tales and beliefs prevalent endorsing indiscriminate sense-indulgence throughout the life and to escape the repercussions by remembering the Lord at the fag end of life.

A serious aspirant is not duped by them.
