The company of peaceful Sages (Satsangha) and living in harmlessness

is considered the primary influence that leads to Self-Realization.

The forced attempts to discard various habits and conditioning and

practicing different techniques to calm the mind have built in

limits, unless one is already inclined towards such practices. If

strong inner motivation is present, one is automatically propelled

towards Self-Awareness and Meditation. The fog of confusion then

quickly evaporates and leads to Self-Seeing, Self-Being,

Self-Realization, and the Silence of the Heart.

 

Meditation and mind calming methods, etc., can be effective at many

different levels if practiced in the context of a clear

understanding. Such practices, however, cannot by themselves end the

fundamental agitation of the mind which continues at more and more

subtle levels and causes suffering. The nature of the mind is to

hanker after that which is not real and is constantly subject to

change. Not knowing who we are, where we come from, and where we are

going, we still continue chasing after dreams built on the

sandcastles of desires. If we become aware of this, we can see the

fundamental nature of suffering, and direct our attention to the

mystery of life and the nature of our perceptions.

 

A True Guru knows no Time and Space. The Self Reveals It Self from

Within. Listen. Remain aware. Be utterly indifferent to the clever

words, miracles, and magical techniques that promise salvation. If

you have the courage, open your wisdom eye and see clearly what

attracts you to such things and people. What is it that they have to

give you that you do not have? Question seriously and honestly and go

to the root of your hopes and fears. There are many active marketers

of "wisdom." Understand that, like you, they have their own

challenges and suffering. With compassion for them and for others

and one's own self, one should keep one's vision utterly, totally, and

completely pure. It means that you should not give in to the

attraction of confusion and compromise in seeking the Truth.

 

Do not settle for anything!

Do not settle for anything -

until there is nothing left to settle for.

 

Let your effort be absorbed in peaceful Self-awareness.

There is absolutely nothing else to be done.

 

 

 

Nothing given,

 

nothing taken.

 

See the sights,

 

be not mistaken.

 

You have everything you need.

 

Think not that you must awaken,

 

now or later for heaven's sake.

 

Know only this for certain,

 

That You Are Already Wide Awake!

 

 

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.
