ShivAllahSita sutra 37

[Guest guest]

May the hearts

of all living beings

expand to see

that we are

One Heart.Lots of love

~Harsha

 

Birds in the sky and fish in waterDart and leave no track behind.And

none can trace the path by which The sages journeyed to the Self.~Sri

Murugunar

 

Liberation is our very nature. We are that.

The very fact that we wish for liberation

shows that freedom from all bondage

is our real nature. It is not to be

freshly acquired. All that is

necessary is to get rid of

the false notion that

we are bound.

When we

achieve

that,

there

will be

no desire or

thought of any

sort. So long as one

desires liberation, so long,

you may take it, one is in bondage.~Sri Ramana Maharshi

 

Observe the eight precepts -- recognizing them as nothing but

eight falling leaves in an endless forest of softly falling leaves:

1. Refrain from killing living creatures -- remembering that, with

each breath, billions of micro-organisms spontaneously perish,

regardless of which ones you happen to cherish.

2. Taking what is not given -- realizing that true wealth is measured

by what you no longer need.

3. Unchaste conduct -- realizing that chastity or the lack thereof

are fictional, conceptual attributes superimposed by the conditioned

mind on that which is without condition.

4. False speech -- realizing that nothing can be said.

5. Avoid intoxicants -- such as belief in an independent self.

6. Eating outside the time -- no longer compelled to flee into

transcendence for the meal that is always right before you.

7. No entertainments, beautifying -- recognizing the supreme

Attractiveness of one's own Inherent Nature.

8. Simple sleeping-place -- Resting in the OneHeart.

~Buddha & b

 

I wearied myself searching for the Friendwith efforts beyond my

strength.I came to the door and saw howpowerfullly the locks were

bolted.And the longing in me became that strong,and then I saw that I

was gazingfrom within the presence.With that waiting, and in giving up

all trying,only then did Lalla flow outfrom where I knelt.~Lalla

Discover all you are not. Body, feelings, thoughts, ideas,time, space,

being and not-being, this or that - nothing concreteor abstract you

can point out to is you. A mere verbal statementwill not do - you may

repeat a formula endlessly without any resultwhatsoever. You must

watch yourself continuously - particularlyyour mind - moment by

moment, missing nothing. This witnessingis essential for the

separation of the self from the not-self.~Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

The secret to Bliss is to stop the search, stop thinking,stop

not-thinking, and keep Quiet.The best practice is to know "WHO AM

I."You are Brahman, Know this.If you want to do anything, justalways

adore Self.~Papaji

 

Lords, inspiration of sacrifice!

May our ears hear the good.

May our eyes see the good.

May we serve Him with the whole strength of our body.

May we, all our life, carry out His will.

May peace

and peaceand peace

be everywhere.~Invocation to the Mundaka UpanishadTranslation by Shree Purohit Swamiand W.B. Yeats

 

the foghangs thick,building-topsas if mountainsnuzzled upin the

clouds,the air though,clearas a mindneitherseekingnor suspendedin

~Tykal

 

Hands in lapLeaning back against Smooth cool rock wall,Work done for

the day.Bowl filled with Clear waterAwaiting its mate,Moonshine.
