Ramana Maharshi - Absolute Consciousness - God

[Guest guest]

God is immanent and formless.

He is pure being and pure consciousness.

 

Manifestations appears in Him and through His power,

but He is not its creator.

God never acts. He just is.

He has neither will nor desire.

 

Individuality is the illusion that we are not identical with God.

When the illusion is dispelled

what remains is God.

 

God, guru and the Self are identical. The guru is God in human

form and simultaneously he is also the Self in the heart of each

devotee.

 

God is.

God is within you.

God is always the first person.

The Self is God.

I am is God.

 

The absolute being is.

What is?

It is the Self.

It is God.

 

God and Self are synonymous for the immanent reality which is

discovered by Self-realisation.

 

Thus realisation of the Self is realisation of God. It is not an

experience of God, rather it is an understanding that one is God.

 

Knowing the Self, God is known. In fact God is none other than

the Self.

 

To see God is to be God.

 

There is no 'all' apart from God for Him to pervade it. He alone is.

God is always the first person, the 'I', ever standing before you.

 

Because of giving precedence to worldly things, God appears to

have receeded to the background.

 

If you give up all else and

seek Him alone,

He alone will remain as the 'I', the Self.

 

God does not reside in any place

other than the Heart. Be sure that the Heart is the Kingdom of

God.

 

 

 

LoveAlways,
