 " Everything you see  has it roots in the unseen world. The forms change, yet the essence remains the same." ~ Rumi

Teachings of Sri Ramakrishna

"Different creeds are but different paths to reach the Almighty. Diverse are the means by which this Kali temple may be reached - some come here in boats, some in carriages, some on foot. Similarly, different people attain God by following different creeds."

WE ARE IN ESSENCE FORMLESS, WITHOUT QUALITIES OR FORM, AND FULL OF "CONSCIOUS INTELLIGENCE" LIKE THE SKY.THIS STATE IS CALLED "NON- LAZINESS."THE BODY-CONSCIOUSNESS, THE CONCEPT THAT "I AM THE BODY," IS THE REAL LAZINESS.IF YOU DO MANY VARIOUS ACTIVITIES FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS AS AN INDIVIDUAL (JIVA), YOU WILL NOT GET ANY BENEFIT, BUT IF YOU BECOME GOD (SHIVA), AND THEN WORSHIP GOD, YOU WILL GET THE FRUITS OF YOUR WORSHIP. BE A KING AND RULE. BE GOD YOURSELF, AND WORSHIP GOD.

(Be As You Are) RAMANA

 (Be As You Are)

Only if one knows the truth of love, which is the real nature of Self, will the strong entangled knot of life be untied. Only if one attains the height of love will liberation be attained.

of this body,

one dark night

after another

passes by

when finally

the dawn arrives,

be ready

... to step forward,

come what may! "

Parable of The Boy and His Shoes

The dog barked at him and the boy began to run. The dog began to chase him. The boy found that his shoes were impeding his speed. He let them slip off his feet. He left them behind. The dog instantly caught hold of one of the shoes and ran away from the boy who then proceeded home safely.

The world troubles the man in every way, so long as he possesses the two things—I-ness and mine-ness. With egoism and possessive nature, wherever he runs, the miseries of Samsara chase him and leave him no respite. Attached to a thousand things, he also is not able to proceed towards his destination with expedition. Therefore, he renounces the I-ness and mine-ness, in order to proceed faster towards the goal. As soon as he renounces the possessions, the world gives up chasing him and the miseries of Samsara leave him once for all. Renunciation has this double advantage: it relieves you of all burdens, lightens your heart and thus enables you to soar higher into the spiritual realm, and it also enables you to free yourself from the troubles of friends and relatives. Therefore, renounce the world and enjoy Supreme Bliss.

When I run after

what I believe, I want,

my days are a furnace

of stress and tension;

But if I sit in my

own place of patience,

What I need flows

to me itself, without

any pain.

From this I understand that

WHAT I AM SEEKING IS ALSO SEEKING ME

is looking for me

.... and attracting me.

There is a great ( Divine) secret here

For those who can comprehend it. "

Sri Ramakrishna

 

Brahma-Jnana

"Brahman, the Absolute and Unconditioned, is realised in Samadhi alone; and then it is all silence about delusion or non-delusion (or the Jiva and Jagat), knowing or not knowing. Whatever is, is there. For, verily, the salt doll tells no tale when one with the infinite sea. This is Brahma-Jnana."

OSHO💐🙏🏼

Wherever you are, you are moving on holy ground. The holiest of the holies surrounds you. You cannot go in, you can go out in desires, greed etc. Seated in your own house how can you go in. You are grounded in the divine, but you are unaware of the fact. How can the search for God begin, because there is no distance. That is the land on which you are already standing.I had been searching for truth, but it is strange to say that as long as the searcher was there, truth was not found.That which takes you away from yourself is the only thing to be avoided.Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized~
