Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 "True surrender is love of God for the sake of love and nothing else, not even for the sake of liberation. Love itself is the actual form of God. That is pure bliss. Call it pure bliss, God, Self, or what you will. That is devotion, that is realization and that iseverything. The experience of not forgetting consciousness alone is the state of devotion which is the relationship of unfading real love, because the real knowledge of Self, which shines as the undivided supreme bliss itself, surges up as the nature of love.Only if one knows the truth of love, which is the nature of the Self, will the strong entangled knot of life be untied. Only if one attains the height of love will liberation be attained. The experience of Self is only love, which is seeing only love, hearing only love, feeling only love, tasting only love and smelling only love, and this is bliss. God does not reside in any place other than the Heart. Be sure that the heart is the Kingdom of Heaven.Having enquired into the nature of all the states, waking, dreaming and deep sleep, and ever abiding at the Heart, the supreme state, which is absolute and which is free from illusion, play in the world, O Raghava, the hero! You have realized That in the Heart, which is the substratum of truth of all appearances. Therefore, play in the world just as you like. That which is the source of all, That in which all live, andThat into which all finally merge, is the Heart."~ Ramana Maharshi, (from Absolute Consciousness) LoveAlways, Mazie Check out the new MSN 9 Dial-up — fast &; reliable Internet access with prime features!
