Song to the Goddess

Either let me be intoxicated
in your love completely
or put on my robes of joy
and rob me absolutely.
Judge me guilty
in the court of love
or absolve me absolutely;
find me flawed if you like
but never hold me weakly.
No middle ground is possible
for lovers who love completely!

Love, Consciousness, and Bliss

The great sage of Arunachala, Sri Ramana Maharshi, used to say that all deep thinking people are fascinated by the nature of consciousness. The outer world of time and space is known only through ones’ own mind. Therefore, the mystery of mind and consciousness has been a magnet of attraction for philosopher, yogis, sages, and scientists. Upanishads say that one should know “That” by which all else is known.

What is “That”, which makes all else visible and known? The ancient philosophy outlined…

Be Yourself

Be Your Self

It’s not possible to please everyone. Save your energy. Be yourself.

A Joy Rises In My Heart

On the swing

When I pushed forward, I was whirled about.
When I stayed in place, I sank.
And so I crossed the flood
without pushing forward,
without staying in place.

You Have No Caste!

You have no caste. No duties bind you.
Formless and free,
Beyond the reach of the senses,
The witness of all things.
So be happy! ~ Ashtavakra Gita (1:5)

You have no caste

Ashtavakra Gita is a classic ancient Advaita scripture that is uttered by a great sage from a radical nondual perspective. This was one of Sri Ramana’s favorite scriptures and he used it as a teaching tool in some conversations. Photo art found on John Wassenberg fb page.

Enter the Heart

When you enter the Heart, you become the Heart. That is the true silence.

You know that you know nothing.

A man asked the Maharshi to say something to him. When asked what the man wanted to know, he said that he knew nothing and wanted to hear something from the Maharshi. Bhagavan then said to the man, “You know that you know nothing. Find out that knowledge.” (See Talk 12 in “Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi).

Bhagavan used to say that the only direct knowledge we have is that “I Exist”. All other knowledge is via inference. Hence the Self-Inquiry, “Who Am I?” was advised by Bhagavan as the primary spiritual practice.

The Glow Of Contentment

I have left all my practices, and words of the wise
now sound like noises in the city at lunch time.
On entering the heart of awareness, I saw that
joy is simply the glow of contentment devoid of longing. ~ HKL

The Perfect Intimacy

On a day like any other, I entered the immediacy of the Heart
and for the first time realized what is meant by perfect intimacy.
It was this Oneness lighting up the mind that I had overlooked
until it held me so completely and revealed Itself as the Beloved. ~ HKL

And the leaves will wither;
Cut the root of your mind
And Samsara falls.
