Guest guest Posted August 8, 2002 Report Share Posted August 8, 2002 also, I humbly submit... you might read the book HOW TO PRACTICE by the Dalai Lama and thereby discover more about your essence... or you might learn about the Meditation on light...that is pretty well described by Lama Surya Das in a book AWAKENING TO THE SACRED... for some of us, it helps to read method literature, and inspirational writing too... wisdom and method... emptiness is not emptiness, so be careful of those who would say it is.... monkglen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Thanks Viorica It is as simple as that. Wim viorica weissman [viorica (AT) zahav (DOT) net.il]Thursday, August 08, 2002 5:19 PMHS The Nature of The Self- [2] Q: What is this awareness and how can one obtain and cultivate it? A: You are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. All that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things, that is of the not-self. If one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and that is the Self. **************************************************** BE AS YOU ARE, The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi Edited by David Godman ****************************************************/join 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.
