Jan/ Daughter of Fire

[Guest guest]

Thank you for sharing this Jan. Striking language similar to what a sage in

Advaita Vedanta would say.

 

I love the following lines.

 

************************

"None can know Him; only He can know Himself. He sees Himself by Himself"

 

"Without having any identity, you are Him and He is you. If you know

yourself as nothing, then you truly know your Lord."

*********************************

 

The Self truly Knows It Self By It Self and Through It Self. One Complete

Whole.

 

It is beyond all psychologies, philosophies, religions, traditions, and all

notions. The mind harboring attachment to ideas cannot enter the gate where

the mind itself disappears. Pure surrender to What Is, Love for the Guru,

devotion for the Lord, these call forth the Grace which make

Self-Realization possible.

 

Many ancient yogis speak of the love they had for God or their Guru that

made crossing over obstacles easier. Unless one has know that through

experience, it is hard to describe.

 

Love to all

Harsha
