Nothing has to be wrong for the mind
to launch an attack.
Nothing has to be wrong for it
to make up big stories, out of nothing actually.
There only has to be a seed of a thought
given attention, ‘Hmm, there's still some separation…?’
And the mind says, ‘You see?
I’ve been trying to tell you!’ and there you go,
sailing off down the road with the unstable
and unreliable mind. It can happen just like this.
The mind doesn’t need any substance or truth.
You can give him anything.
He is like a goat—he eats anything.
And we are quick to believe anything it says.
Our life is chiefly made up of thoughts, interpretations
—and wrong interpretations also,
based upon fear, desire and rejection.
This is why I say: pay attention
to the sense of being—the Self.
Be one with the Self, rather than trying
to pick and choose through
the innumerable thoughts and sensations
that mind tends to see
—which one is true and which is false.
You can spend lifetimes doing this
and you will never come to the end of it.
As soon as you finish pruning this tree,
new leaves are coming.
So don’t waste time cleaning up the mind.
Stay as the Self. As you train your attention
and mind to stay as the Self, the space
in which the mind and person lives vanishes.
Thus you come to experience a completeness,
a contentment in just resting in and as the Self.
And when you are content, the interest
will fall away from these other rooms
and their contents.
The feeling of separation, or even union,
all of this becomes redundant as thoughts.
You simply are. There is a unity in that.
There is a harmony in this.
And where no doubts come,
there is even no need for union or separation.
You experience real unity
beyond even the concept of unity.
This is your natural state.

but it is only by the light of consciousness
that the darkness is seen. Reflect on this.

From the highest standpoint,
there is no mind to kill, no act to perform,
no pilgrimage to make, no person to awaken,
no teaching to be followed, no sadhana to complete
— only the unswerving recognition
that one Self is the unchanging awareness
within which all these are seen
as the dance of manifestation.

How long shall I walk with you to take you where you already are....
It can take 0 time, 0 distance.
Or it can take years and years of searching, hours of meditation, thousands of kilometers to cover and several lifetimes and even then, never reach the destination.
You choose. Why not here and now?
Don't listen to your mind.
You are Life.
All that you are "seeing" is your life journey.
But I'm not here for any journeys.
I'm here for which has no beginning nor ending.

First, know you are already free.
This is the unique recognition,
insight and fruit born of self-inquiry:
to reveal our inherent freedom as eternal being.
Thereafter, practise is only to fend off the tendency
to doubt this freedom.

'All seekers of the Truth should turn their
heads and hearts towards Sri Ramana Maharshi
on this very day and leave them there.
For it is He, as a pure expression of the Supreme Being

How fortunate are we to be sat at his holy feet
in veneration to the Limitless.'

Blessed is the spirit of Christ
—so powerful that 2,000 years after
leaving the body, this light shines today
throughout the world.
May all who hold inside their heart
the true desire for freedom,
come swiftly to the recognition of the pure Self
and be timelessly happy.
Wherever you are, may Grace wash away
the trivia that distract you.
May all who meet you on the path of life
be transformed through this encounter.
May they be so touched by your light, peace and joy,
that they are compelled to search
within themselves to find the light
that they see in you.
Let this Freedom be contagious,
let this Love be contagious,
let this Truth be contagious.
This is your true responsibility
—to live out the fullness of your Being.
Merry Christmas!

You ask, ‘What breaks this spell of delusion?
Is it determination?’ No.
The Self does not need determination.
You don’t need some extra strength, courage or blessing.
You don’t need anything,
for you are perfect and beyond need.
You are Truth itself, but presently you cannot step out of
what you always thought of as yourself,
your constructed self-image or self-portrait.
Your mind is not accepting that it is already done.
It is not even done.
It is neither finished nor unfinished.
It just Is.
Is it determination?’ No.

Your mind is not accepting that it is already done.
It is not even done.
It is neither finished nor unfinished.
It just Is.
You are pure Awareness.
You are not Awareness sometimes
and sometimes not Awareness.
The idea that you are only sometimes awareness
and sometimes not awareness
is itself an idea appearing in Awareness.
Be aware of this.
You are not Awareness sometimes
and sometimes not Awareness.
The idea that you are only sometimes awareness
and sometimes not awareness
is itself an idea appearing in Awareness.
Be aware of this.
If you could look inside the Heart of any and every single human being, you would fall in love with them completely. If you see the inside as it really IS and not as your mind projects it to be, you would be so purely in love with the whole thing.
True knowledge means to be empty;
empty of identity and belief in
and attachment to psychological conditioning.
There is a great space and silence
here in the emptiness.
A great intelligence looks out from that space
as the unfathomable Self.
You are one with this One.
This unity is love and Truth.
empty of identity and belief in
and attachment to psychological conditioning.

You would never go and sleep in your enemy's house. You'd have one eye open, one eye closed, because there's no trust and because there's fear. Then, how can there be love in such a place? Love comes when you don't have a "trading love." You have a love in spite of people judging you. You have a love for them but not for their "person". You see, you think you have to love a person's "person". And that is very difficult, meaning the idea someone has about their self. Someone once said, I am not seeing the world as it really is. I am seeing the world as I am. Everything begins in your "I Amness". As you come to recognize, to go beyond the superficial facade of a "person", and move back into the Place of Presence inside yourself, then all your fears will go. Knowledge will come. Silence will come, or they will appear to come. They've always been there in fact. Let's say they're unveiled rather than they come. They may be experienced as though they come, because you feel like you're discovering them again for the first time.
When you love for truth is greater than your ego, then you are free.
The one who surrenders and lets go, the one who is a servant of the universe, without arrogance, this one, is taken care of by life itself.
The sun takes care of him, the rain takes care of him, the wind takes care of him, the earth takes care of him, the travellers take care of him - everything takes care of him.
Everything takes care of You.
God takes care of everything.
The real beauty is when you come to see that this is so...

My love, stay here. Going in search of Self (as a goal) is illusion; You are already the One Self. You will purchase the map, Only to find you are already Here
God is not playing with You,
God is playing as You.
God is playing as You.
God can never be close because it would mean that there is some place where God is not. God is infinite. We cannot exist outside of the infinite.
Therefore, God is our Reality.
Therefore, God is our Reality.
Surrender is not a weakness it is strength. It takes tremendous strength to surrender life to the supreme — to the cosmic unfolding.
Few people can grasp the Truth as it really is.
They grasp it intellectually.
But when it is grasped in the Heart
or it grasps you in the Heart,
then it grasps you so fully
that there are no longer two.
There is no "you" and "It,"
there is only Truth.
Truth suffocates the ego.
The grip of God suffocates the ego.
It cannot breathe, and merges into the One.

I cannot relate to you as if you are someone with a problem.
That's too much of a miserable state for me.
If I do, I actually reinforce and perpetuate an identity in you that causes you continuous suffering.
Only by not supporting your delusion will
you hopefully come out of it.
If your master relates to you on the level of delusion, you are in master trouble.

To change yourself is not your duty.
To awaken to your true nature
