Guest guest Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 How do we see God? Sri Ramana Maharshi said, "To see God is to be God." Tat Tvam Asi - That Thou Art So'ham - I am That Aham Brahmasmi - I am Brahman Sivo'ham - I am Siva We must stop merely repeating, reading, and contemplating these great utterances and BE these truths! How many times does it take to repeat these words before we believe them? Say it once and know it! Be it! This is what sages and seers throughout the ages have been shouting to us all along: You are That which you have been searching for! YOU ARE GOD! And again...we have all heard this rant a million times and it never seems to change our way of being. So, how to be God? Simple: See everything in and around you as bliss and let this in turn make you blissful and happy! Whatever it is, see it as bliss--for that is what it is. We have all heard a million times about this bliss, Satchidananda. Existence = Consciousness = Bliss. This means that EVERYTHING in existence is a manifestation of consciousness and bliss. Your deepest core is not this cold, intellectual adult who goes about this humdrum day of routines, chores, thoughts, emotions. It is a radiant, happy child-like, blissful, singing, dancing, pure, innocent God/dess core! Deep down under all our layers, we are this core! Look around with the eyes of this child and see the world anew: "Wow! Cool! This computer it's so awesome and powerful! It makes me happy! Excellent, listen to the wonderful humming sound it makes! It's like the singing of the universe! Wow! Sitting! What a great rest for my beautiful feet which carry me wherever I want to go! Thank you feet! Thank you chair! Driving! Neat! It's so fun! Let me turn on the radio and sing along at the top of my lungs! No one else can hear me anyway! La, la, la, la dee-dum! Breathing, in and out, in and out! What a miracle process that I could never understand! My goodness, what a crazy, zany thought that just passed though my head! Where did that come from? Well, it's gone now so back to seeing! Look at all the colors! Vibrant...joyful!" You get the picture. Connect the inner bliss with the bliss that's outside. Inside and outside will disappear. But don't think too much about it! Just be the child of G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
