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

Bhagavan says, “…it is a great wonder that to teach such a simple truth a number of religions should be necessary and that so many disputes should go on between them as to which is the God-ordained teaching. What a pity! Just be one’s Self, that’s all.”

Bhagavan’s teaching is beautiful and unique and direct. There is no mumbo jumbo, no secret mantras or handshakes, no dependence of rituals or outside forces. Bhagavan says that you are the Self. Being the Self is nothing more than pure Being, Pure Existence.

When the devotees first proposed the celebration of Bhagavan’s birthday in 1912, Bhagavan objected by writing two verses given in the picture. These verses can be found in the “Collected Works of Sri Ramana Maharishi.”

In these verses, Bhagavan says that the only real birth is where one recognizes one’s true nature as the Universal Being and is born into eternal life. The photo art is from John Wassenberg fb page.

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