H.H. SRI SWAMI SIVANANDAJI MAHARAJ 1963

Jagadguru Sri Sankaracharya, who was an Avatara of Lord Siva, delved into the precious wisdom of the Upanishads and brought out the most rare gem in the form of the unparalleled Advaita philosophy or the Monistic idealism which gives you, in a nutshell, the glorious truth that you are in essence Divine beings, ever perfect, free, full and blissful. This idea is contained in his famous memorable Sloka: ‘Slokardhena pravakshyami yaduktam granthakotibhih, Brahma satyam jaganmithya, jivo brahmaiva naparah.’ This gives the very essence of all spiritual wisdom, and it is the last word in the transcendental realisation expressed in the form of this famous Sloka. Bliss is to be found in the spiritual Reality which is within you. Realise this and be free.

                                                


(Cosmic, Universal Time, Mother Consciousness)

 When Goddess

Takes the role of

Instructress

She will lead you

Out of the mental maze of

A time based paradigm

That serves only few and not All

Into the freedom

Of eternal time*

And service to All


Akshi Upanishad

 Of the essence of Purity, the blessed One scorches (the sins of the sinful). The blessed Swan, of the essence of Purity, is the Prototype (of the bound soul, the Jiva).

Here rises the Sun, thousand-rayed, existent in myriad ways, the life of all animate beings. (I meditate on Him who is) omniform, compassionate, omniscient, ambrosial, of the essence of light, the Scorcher.

Shunryu Suzuki

 Faith is a state of openness or trust… In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to the truth, whatever it might turn out to be.


                                              


Tripura Rahasya

 “If you say that dream objects lose their existence the moment a person wakes up, Wait, is it not also true that objects corresponding to the waking state vanish in the dream and deep sleep states?”


                                                 


-Adyashanti

 When you rest in quietness and your image of yourself fades, and your image of the world fades, and your ideas of others fade, what’s left? A brightness, a radiant emptiness that is simply what you are.


THE SPIRITUAL TRIAD

 


#7. ATMA – The Divine Part

Atma (also written “Atman”) is the highermost and supreme part of man’s spiritual being. It is pure eternal Spirit. It is the Higher Self, the Divine Self, the Real Self of the human being and it is literally one and the same in essence and identity as the Infinite Supreme Self. This is in accordance with the fundamental teaching of Hinduism; that our Self (the Atman) IS the Supreme Self (Brahman). Atman literally means Self. It is the only one of our Principles to which the unqualified term “the Self” may be applied.

It is not an individual thing. There is no such thing as “my Atman” or “your Atman.” The Eternal Spirit is neither yours nor mine and is not the separate individual possession of anyone. There is neither “my Atman” nor “your Atman” but only THE Atman, the ONE Universal Self of all. It is here that all is truly one. The golden key to understanding universal oneness, divine allness, and non-duality (and thus the key to world peace!) is contained in this teaching about the Atman. I am the Atman. You are the Atman. Atman is Who and What we really are. It is our essential nature, it is our true self, it is the All IN All. In fact, It is the one and only Reality. As the Upanishads say, “This Atman IS Brahman.”

Since the Atman is literally Divinity Itself, we should always remember that it never incarnates or reincarnates, nor is it ever affected by our Karma or even by anything whatsoever. It just simply IS.

Ram Dass from BE HERE NOW

 




A Paradox

 “If you want to be free, get to know your real self. It has no form, no appearance, no root, no basis, no abode, but is lively and buoyant. It responds with versatile facility, but cannot be located. Therefore when you look for it, you become further from it, when you seek it, you turn away from it all the more.”


The Buddha

 Painful it is to be born again and again.

O house-builder, you shall build no house again.

All your rafters are broken.

My mind has attained the unconditioned.

Achieved is the end of craving.

 The butterfly’s miraculous metamorphosis and powerful will to emerge into the light has come to symbolize the transformative journey of the soul.



Albert Einstein

I like to experience the universe as one harmonious whole. Every cell has life. Matter, too, has life; it is energy solidified. 



Ramesh Balsekar

 The Sages, men of vision, have never asked anyone to believe anything. Belief is nothing but concept. The Sages have always merely pointed at the Truth, which the disciple must then realize himself.


Papaji

 

“To find permanent joy, you must look in the right direction. You will not find it in any outside object. Every object will rise, stay, and then cease. You have to look somewhere else for permanent, eternal joy. Don’t attribute joy to something else, be it a person, the sun, moon, or stars. Stop this tendency of going to outside objects, whatever they may be. Stop your mind from going in any direction outside. Then you must return to your inner beauty. That is your own nature: bliss eternal, which you have never felt.”


“Meditate on Om as the Self.”

“The Self [atman] is of the nature of the Syllable Om. Thus the Syllable Om is the very Self. He who knows It thus enters the Self [Supreme Spirit] with his self [individual spirit].”


                                                


Joseph Campbell

 Marriage is not a simple love affair, it’s an ordeal, and the ordeal is the sacrifice of ego to a relationship in which two have become one.

Sri Ramana Maharshi

 There is no greater mystery than this: being Reality ourselves, we seek to gain Reality. We think that there is something hiding Reality and that it must be destroyed before the truth is gained. This is clearly ridiculous. A day will dawn when you will laugh at your past efforts. What you realize on the day you laugh is also here and now.


Krishnamurti

 The difficulty is that we do not know how to listen, how to see, and how to hear because when a new thing is said, we put it into old bottles, fit it into old terminologies, and therefore we spoil it.


Kabir

 Go deeper …

Past thoughts into silence.
Past silence into stillness.
Past stillness into the heart.
Let Love consume ALL that is left of you.



Tilopa

 The clouds that wander through the sky have no roots, no home,

Nor do the distinctive thoughts floating through the mind. Once the self-mind is seen,

Discrimination stops.



Zhuangzi, The Complete Works of Zhuangzi

 Emptiness, stillness, limpidity, silence, inaction — these are the level of Heaven and earth, the substance of the Way and its Virtue.


Saint Jnaneshwar ~ Shiva-Shakti


It cannot be spoken of or spoken to;
by no means may It be comprehended by the intellect.

It is that one pure Consciousness who becomes everything,
From the gods above to the earth below.

Objects may be regarded as high or low,
But the ocean of Consciousness, ever-pure,
Is all that ever is.

Though the shadows on the wall are ever changing,
The wall itself remains steady and unmoved.
Likewise, the forms of the universe take shape from Consciousness,
The eternal, primordial One.

                                           

                                           





















 





SHRI DATTA SWAMI


The real form of God is unimaginable as said in the Vedas and there is no question of seeing or talking or touching the God. The the Gita also says that nobody can know God (Mam tu the Veda Na kashchana). Such unimaginable God cannot be said to have a form and cannot even be said to be formless. The Creator is beyond the creation, which is a fourdimensional network of space and time made up of with matter and energy.The creation contains both formless items like space, energy and air and also items with form like water, earth etc. If you say that God has form or that He is formless, then God becomes a part of the creation and not beyond the creation. The the Veda says that no item in the creation including the pure awareness or life energy is God (Neti Neti…)


Swami Vivekananda

 ''The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe. We cannot see outside what we are not inside.''


                                             


  

PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA

 "Our real self, the soul, is immortal. We may sleep for a little while in that change called death, but we can never be destroyed. We exist, and that existence is eternal. The wave comes to the shore, and then goes back to the sea; it is not lost. It becomes one with the ocean, or returns again in the form of another wave. This body has come, and it will vanish; but the soul essence within it will never cease to exist. Nothing can terminate that eternal consciousness."

                                                  


Wu Hsin

 “The mirage of an egg cannot be shattered by any mallet. Likewise, the mirage of a separate self cannot be shattered by any individual. The individual is, itself, the mirage.”

                                                     


Nisargadatta Maharaj

 The only way of knowing reality is to be it. The mind cannot reach it. To perceive it does not need the senses; to know it, does not need the mind.

                                                  

Jac O'Keeffe

 Without the projection of the mind, the world cannot exist. That world that appears to you in your dreams at night is just as unreal as the world that appears to you when you are awake. There is no difference whatsoever.

 When you react to outside situations, the stimulus may come from outside, but the source of your experience – for both Joy and Misery – is within You.


Padmasambhava

 If you want to practice the Dharma in an authentic way, it is most important to cut your ties to unwholesome places, companions, and so forth. So give them up!

 However, love, peace and happiness are inherent in the knowing of our own being. In fact, they are the knowing of being. They are simply other names for our self.
