Guest guest Posted August 11, 2001 Report Share Posted August 11, 2001 Sat-Chit-Ananda. Existence-Knowledge-Bliss. It is Existence Knowing It Self in Pure Bliss. YUM...... If I may quote Mark ))))) I hadnt read this before either.... this is a keeper... a wonderful reminder for those brief times of forgetfulness. Lynette Lovers embrace within the fold of glorious union, dissolve into my eyes of nothing beyond I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2001 Report Share Posted August 11, 2001 These posts are for Jan's question, everybody else, please excuse the repetition. ~Glo - Harsha ; NondualitySalon Saturday, September 30, 2000 10:18 AM [NondualitySalon] Sat-Chit-Ananda-Nityam-Poornum My Dear and Wonderful friends,Spiritual methods are useful to an extent and they are prescribedaccording to the inclinations of people. They are meant to help you acceptyour own Beauty.Spiritual practices are meant to make you aware of your overwhelming Beautyseeping out everywhere.The final barrier to Seeing the Seer, or Being the Seer, is an extremelysubtle one.Grace allows for self-surrender to the Divine and this bridge is crossed.The Seer, The Seen,and the Process of Seeing merge Here and the Self-Existent, Ever PresentReality Dominates in all its Nakedness. The ancients called thisSelf-KnowingSat-Chit-Ananda. Existence-Knowledge-Bliss. It is Existence Knowing It Selfin Pure Bliss.This Sat-Chit-Ananda Is Nityam (Eternal) and Poornum (Whole or Complete).Although This Reality that You Are Is Always Present, it is obscured by theconflicts and sufferings of the mind.That is why spiritual practice and Satsangha are important. They help tocalm the mind.Sat-Chit-Ananda, That You Are is Known Clearly in Nirvikalpa Samadhi, afterabsorption of the mind.When all the inner conflicts and suffering have subsided and mindconsciously is absorbed, that is Nirvikalpa.Unconsciously the mind is absorbed every night in deep sleep, but the personwakes up the same.Conscious absorption of mind in Reality of the Self happens in NirvikalpaSamadhi.After that one recognizes the Reality as the Self in varying perceptions ofjoy, suffering, conflicts, etc.Nonduality is not in conflict with Duality.Spiritual practices are not in conflict with Reality.If you love your God with all your heart and mind and soul, that it selfindicates Grace in your life.Self is the Ultimate Simplicity and the Ultimate Clarity. It Is, EverPresent, Ever Awake, Still, Alone, and Complete. It cannot be attained. Itis Truly Who You Already Are. It has no parts. It is Fully Whole. That isTruly WhoYou Really Are. Whole. Can you accept that? That acceptance will help you onthe path. That is the beginning of the end. The ending is contained in thebeginning.May God bless everyone with Joy and Peace.Love to allHarsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
