How well said Harsha. Perfect wisdom

love

eric.

It is often said that if one simply stops the seeking, the wanting,

Realization will happen. It might be true if the seeking stops spontaneously

and the mind consciously loses its identity into its Source.

I wonder whether one can just give up seeking and wanting Realization.

Probably one cannot give up wanting any "want" until the wanting has waned.

One can certainly concentrate on wanting "total and complete blissful

surrender." Perhaps that is helpful. The fundamental issue is the

"wanting." Surrender happens when the wanting has waned or has been

suspended, or one simply has become completely indifferent to all wanting.

In other words, one has become "wanted out".

There is a Gate to the Kingdom of Heaven. To approach this Gate, one must be

a seeker. But the Gate does not open to seekers. And seeking cannot be given

up by will or effort.

It happens when you have been waiting and waiting and waiting. Waiting can

be a form of doing also. Then it is a long wait. You might be doing

anything. Meditation, Yoga, Pranayama, etc. These are all essentially forms

of waiting. And waiting can be helpful. It tires you out. It is Grace that

finally makes us so indifferent to any "seeking" or "wanting", that we

forget what we had wanted, why we had wanted it, and what we had been

waiting for. Here and Now the Primal Being Reveals It Self as Eternal, as

the very Core of our existence, being Existence It Self. It is the Now-ness,

the Here-ness, Ever new, the perpetual Silence of fullness and

Self-fulfillment.

To enter the Kingdom of Heaven one must be completely naked and bereft of

all things. Seekers can approach the Gate but cannot enter.

There is no path to this entrance because there is no where else to go. It

is not to be found in the future in some other place. There is no future and

there is no other place separate from Here and Now. Self can only be known

in the Present because It Is ItSelf the Present.

It Is the Total Presence.

Love to all

Harsha

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and

subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not

different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of

the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always

Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart

to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the

Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It

Self. Welcome all to a.
