The idea of enlightenment is of utmost importance. Just to know that there is such possibility, changes one’s entire outlook. It acts like a burning match in a heap of saw dust. All the great teachers did nothing else. A spark of truth can burn up a mountain of lies.
There is a mystery within all beings bursting to reveal itself, in the one who become quiet enough to discover it. In this discovery a benevolent force shines spontaneously from your presence towards all beings, and this Light cannot help but iluminate the world.
Don’t take life so seriously. This world is a terrible place, there is no safety here. But what are we to do? We must stop taking life so seriously. Delusion can be overcome by holding steadfastly to one philosophy: everything here is nothing more than God’s motion picture. Don’t make a fuss about anything. Whenever you worry, remember, you are deepening the cosmic delusion within you. It is your own dreams that frighten you. In every form of sense experience you must remind yourself, ‘IT IS A DREAM!’ So don’t be attached to the passing dreams of life. Live for God and God alone.
Be mindful of intention. Intention is the seed that creates our future.
Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly.
Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.
Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.
More than economic or technological revolution, an inner revolution that makes us see others as ourselves is the need of the hour. We must strive to love and serve all.
One who reveals your faults to you like a mirror is your true friend, and one who flatters you and covers up your faults is your enemy.
Once sitting before Him, the following thoughts rose in my mind with great force and were running repeatedly for a long time: ‘Do not argue on controversial points of philosophy or read too much of
philosophical books.’
‘Silently practise either vichara or dhyanam’
(meditation).
‘Do not do anything which you know to be wrong.’
Some of Bhagavan’s personal instructions to me were:
(i) If you observe the breathing one-pointedly, such attention will lead you into kumbhaka (retention), which is jnana pranayama.
(ii) The more you humble yourself, the better it is for you.
(iii) You should look upon the world only as a dream.
(iv) Except attending to the duty-work in life, the rest of the time should be spent in atma nishta (absorption in the Self).
(v) Do not cause slightest hindrance or disturbance to others.
(vi) Do all your work yourself.
(vii) Both likes and dislikes should be discarded and eschewed.
(vii) With attention focused on the first person and on the heart within, one should relentlessly practice ‘Who am I?’ During such practice, the mind might suddenly spring up; so you have to vigilantly
pursue the vichara ‘Who am I?’
Sri Ramana was a sarvajnani (all-knower). I got many proofs of it. My father gave me pocket-money of three annas a day. For that
amount I would buy sambrani (incense), which was burnt in a brazier in Bhagavan’s hall. One day I did not get the pocket money and therefore refrained from going to Bhagavan.
The next day, Bhagavan graciously remarked, “Yesterday you did not come because you could not get sambrani. Veneration in the heart is enough.”
My father was suddenly transferred to Vellore. None of us, particularly myself, wanted to leave Tiruvannamalai since darshan of Bhagavan would then be denied. We ventilated our grievance to Bhagavan.
He gave me a benign smile. A few days after, strangely, the transfer order was cancelled!
I noticed the strange way in which the doubts in one’s mind got answered. The doubt you had would mysteriously be got expressed by someone else in the hall to Bhagavan and He would not only give the
answer but look at you with a smile as if to say, ‘Has your doubt been cleared?’
Bhagavan would be seated like a rock with eyes open for hours together and silence would pervade the hall; and everyone’s heart would be filled with peace and stillness. This silence was His real teaching!

Созерцайте внутреннее сияние, вечно пылающее внутри пещеры вашего собственного Сердца и в сердцах всех существ.
This meeting will not end in two. A sheep had a dream of meeting a lion. You know what the result is. There will only be one left.
Habits create the false notion that thinking is a permanent institution, with which it is impossible to dispense, but enquiry and discrimination will blast this fallacy.

Шри Гуру Свами Вишнудевананда Гири
Beloved,
don't be a warrior, just be yourself.
Don’t waste energy preparing for this mind-battle.
You are sharpening your sword
to kill dragons that don’t exist.
The more you think about them,
the more you empower illusions
and become deluded by them.
And then you are compelled to do battle
with an imagined enemy;
one created by your own projection,
arising out of your own fear and
appearing inside your mind alone.
In truth, man can only fight against himself.
So the way is not to fight,
rather, be in the fullness of your Peace
—the Peace that exists before duality arose.
don't be a warrior, just be yourself.

Discrimination is meant for one who is in the process of evolution. You need strict discrimination to understand the difference between what is good for your spiritual progress and what will create obstacles in your path. A seeker must discriminate between what is eternal and what is non-eternal. But once you have attained the state of perfection, you have renounced everything, even discrimination. You cannot hold onto anything. Transcending all dualities, you become the universe; you become expansiveness itself. You become both day and night. You go beyond purity and impurity.
When you have enough love inside, there are truly no problems. Problems arise when you are lacking love.
*** In Search of the Divine World ***
When studying the Upanishads in my early days,
I always visualized the divine abode in the Sun god and
was performing the practices enjoined in certain texts.
Even later, after settling at the abode of Sri Maharshi,
I continued this practice (upasana).
It proved very hard to succeed in this process and
I had to undergo very trying experiences,
so I referred the whole matter to Bhagavan.
"So you want to go to the divine world?" asked he.
"That is what I am trying to obtain;
that is what the scriptures prescribe," I answered.
"But where are you now?" the Master asked.
I replied, "I am in your presence."
"Poor thing! You are here and now in the divine world,
and you want to obtain it elsewhere!
Know that to be the divine world
where one is firmly established in the Divine.
Such a one is full (purna);
he encompasses and transcends all that is manifest.
He is the substratum of the screen
on which the whole manifestation runs like the picture film.
Whether moving pictures run or not,
the screen is always there
and is never affected by the action of the pictures.
You are here and now in the divine world.
You are like a thirsty man wanting to drink,
while he is all the time standing neck deep in the Ganga.
Give up all efforts and surrender.
Let the 'I' that wants the divine world die,
and the Divine in you will be realised here and now.
For it is already in you as the Self,
not different from the Divine (Brahman),
nameless and formless.
It is already in you,
so how are you to obtain that which ever remains obtained?"
"The Self (atman) in you is surely not different from US."
Thus spoke Bhagavan.

In truth, there is not ‘us’ and ‘them’.
Us is them. Them is us.
We are That.
All is That. That is all.
Us is them. Them is us.
We are That.
All is That. That is all.
There comes a time when silence is betrayal.
Believe in yourself,
in your true Self.
Have faith in the Divine within you.
in your true Self.
Have faith in the Divine within you.
To trust and have faith is Sattvic; to be is undefinable
A truly spiritual person lives for the Truth, and breathes for Love.
Fear is the cheapest room in the house, I would like to see you living in better conditions.
WHAT ARE THE THREE BODIES’ VEHICLES OF IMMORTALITY?
In the path of Suddha Sanmargam the three bodies are: suddha deham, pranava deham and gnana deham.
- Suddha deham is the pure physical body which becomes golden white ”every
cells realize the compassionate love body ”. As soon as the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies are far from impure illusions the supra consciousness forces are realized, they are called karma shiddhis. For Vallalar these siddhis can only be reached when we attain Suddha deham.
The realization of Suddha deham is the first step of sadhana, which is to make the body pure, so He can become a fit Divine instrument. Most people think that the body is not important on a spiritual journey, this is a wrong idea. All the suffering a Being can experience goes trough the physical body. If the body is not made pure the suffering will continue. How can we speak about God and having a spiritual life when we are not able to respect our own body? The body is God Himself, each cell contain God’s Light and memory! We create so many stressful situations, eat meat and non natural food, drink, smoke, stimulate ourselves with diverse drugs, all this create degradation to the body.
At first we must change our habits toward a healthy life style, with good vegetarian diet, proper exercise, right thinking and proper actions.
- Pranava deham is the development of the Divine Godhead “in the subtle body
we realize the Grace body” in diverse traditions we can find the golden sphere presence which surround the head of a Saint. Vallalar says that the psychic head is made of a very refined brain, this brain is called Omkara brain, the other brain which is more ordinary is called Ankara. It is the body of Light made of pure bliss and joy. This body is located above the head. Pranava deham is called the Grace body, because Grace is pure bliss, joy and compassionate love.
The development of Omkara acts as a direct receptive station with the cosmic
consciousness.
This station passes on the messages to the more gross brain. This type of
development is only possible when the vital “the lower being” is not any more the master and that the mental is able to maintain certain purity. Letting the Divine consciousness enter in the brain, this one develop itself more and more. Each cell receives this message then the transformation is taking place. At this time it is possible to go beyond the diverse veils of maya.
This prosperous and expansive body is also called Omkara body. The
development of this body allows you to go beyond the established gross principles of nature. The subtle body starts to grow to the size of a golden mountain, the physical body transforms itself into the body of a five to eight years old child, the sixty four siddhis become on the control of the yogi. This body can’t be perceived by the touch and the sight.
Nb: Vallalar’s wooden sandals are the size of a child foot. He had to put the
white cloth over him so we could see his body’ shape. All the photos which were taken of him didn’t show his presence.
It is possible to experiment the Pranava Deham body by doing Ambalam Kryia
yoga technique, in this body you experiment great joy, bliss and compassionate love. It will appear at first that there is a duality between the physical body and the Grace body.
Slowly as the physical body becomes more pure the duality diminishes. When Vallalar speak about the realization of the Pranava Deham body, he mean that this Grace body is fully integrated into the physical body.
- Gnana deham is the transformation of the pranava boby into a gnostic body “in the causal body we realize the body of the One, the light beyond light, the form beyond form. ” With the third eye function and this development, the body eliminates all sorts of impurities and become almost invisible. Such a body appears like a fire ball or a fire pillar. With the practice of Jeava Karunai, the practice of absolute compassion, this body receives Grace. This Grace allows him to obtain the same powers and qualities of God.
As the physical matter as become pure Grace Light, there is no more limitation coming from the physical matter.
