Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 When we mind our own mind with awareness, that is a good practice. Study of scriptures, and most meditation and yogic methods fall under this category. When we do not mind our own mind in awareness, that is a superior practice and called the yoga of awareness. Self-Inquiry taught by Sri Ramana leads to that. When there is no mind to mind and only Pure Awareness, there is no practice and no practitioner. The ancients sages simply called this Reality at the core, the Self, our true nature. The Sanskrit term Sat-Chit-Ananda is very precise. Self being Self-Existent, Chit being Self-Knowledge, Ananda, being Self-Ananda. The meaning of Sat-Chit-Ananda cannot be intellectually comprehended. It requires direct Self-Knowing and it becomes crystal clear, Self It Self being that Formless Clarity. The Formless Being which exists in all forms as Existence without support, That is One without a second, is One's Own Self. Based on the strength of this knowledge which is completely and absolutely direct, the Advaitic sages have said Aham Brahamasmi! That is the origin of the saying, "I AM THAT" Love to all Harsha ===== /join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
