Round-Headed Man

[Guest guest]

Hey! Homie!

There's a really

round-headed man

with a round-hooted

hu, a fat cat in thin spats,

and call girls in kilts, coffee

cagey accountants, the count

kissed vamps and the crink-shi

of keeping it together, hugs to hobos,

baubles and Barney at Gumbel's foo-foo:

APHOMERISMS - DO'HTAVAKRA-GITA

Homer: Alright Brain, you don't like me,

and I don't like you. But lets just do this,

and I can get back to killing you with beer.

 

 

Let attention go to manifestation,just know that manifestation is

Brahman.Let there be creations and destructions.All is Brahman and

you are beyond even That always.~Papaji

 

 

Homer: Just because I don't care

doesn't mean I don't understand.

 

 

Forget the known, but remember that you are the knower.

Don't be all the time immersed in your experiences.

Remember that you are beyond the experiencer, ever unborn and deathless.

In remembering it, the quality of pure knowledge will emerge,

the light of unconditional awareness.~Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

 

Homer: I can't fake an interest in this, and I'm an expert at faking

an interest in your kooky projects.

Marge: What kooky projects?

Homer: You know, the painting class, the first aid course,

the whole Lamaze thing.

 

 

 

Do not run away from worldly activities,

Only always keep in the "I am SELF," stay

as the screen on which all the projected activitiestake place. In all

activities simply keep quietand know "I am Home."

Your business is to keep quiet.~Papaji

 

 

Homer: Television! Teacher, mother, secret lover.

 

 

When you have understood that all existence,in separation and

limitation, is painful, andwhen you are willing and able to live

integrally,in oneness with all life, as pure being, you havegone

beyond all need of help. You can help anotherby precept and example

and, above all, by yourbeing. You cannot give what you do not have

andyou don't have what you are not. You can only givewhat you are -

and of that you can give limitlessly.~Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

 

Homer: Come on, Marge, I want to shake off the dust of this one-horse town.

I want to explore the world

I want to watch TV in a different time zone.

I want to visit strange, exotic malls.

I'm sick of eating hoagies.

I want a grinder, a sub, a foot-long hero...I want to live,

Marge! Won't you let me live?

 

 

Solitude is in the mind of man. One mightbe in the thick of the world

and maintainserenity of mind. Such a one is in solitude.Another may

stay in a forest, but still be unableto control his mind. Such a man

cannot be said tobe in solitude. Solitude is a function of the mind.A

man attached to desires cannot get solitudewherever he may be, whereas

a detached man isalways in solitude.~Sri Ramana Maharshi

 

 

Homer: Well of course, everything looks bad if you remember it.

 

 

I used to have fiery intensity,and a flowing sweetness.The waters were

illusion.The flames made of snow.Was I dreaming then?Am I awake

now?~Rumi
