Dear Richard,

The quotes from the Ribhu Gita are supremely

welcome. May we all take them to heart.

 

(You may want to correct "husband and wire".)

Jai, Stan

> Patanjali, the Father of Raja Yoga, who describes the mind in great

> Any thought must of necessity be one of these types of fluctuation or

> All thinking is dependent on the first thought which is established

> Vritti, which is a misconception, or error in cognition. The Aham

> Vritti is also the last thought and when it dissolves, thought

> dissolves. Since it is a vritti itself, or fluctuation of the

> consciousness, it is of the mind. When held before the consciousness

> it's nature is discovered, as is its tenacity.

>

> Discriminating between thought and knowing allows recognition of when

>

> The chain of thoughts continues in a seemingly ceaseless fashion.

> When it stops, there is a space where the "I am" appears before

> another chain of thought begins. This is the space between thoughts.

> Whenever thinking stops, the "I am" appears and when the "I am"

> Ramana Gita II,2: the 'I-I'

>

> In the centre of the Heart-cave,

> Brahman shines alone.

> It is the form of Self experienced directly as 'I-I'.

> Enter the Heart, through self-enquiry

> or merging or by breath-control

> and become rooted as That.

>

> Commentary (continuation)

> It may be noted that the terms 'Heart', 'Brahman', 'Atman', and 'Self' are

used

> as interchangeable by Ramana.

> However, one finds that he generally uses the expression 'Heart'. ...

>

> The scriptures declare that 'Brahman' shines in the hearts of all

creation.

> The scriptures are also replete with descriptions of it, as pure, eternal

> and self-luminous.

>

> Ramana describes how consciousness shines forth by itself, spontaneously.

> It takes the form of an unbroken feeling of 'I'. To denote the continous

nature

> of this throb of consciousness, Ramana repeats the words as 'I-I'. The

word

> 'alone' has been used after Brahman to indicate the absence of duality.

....

>

> Though the feeling of fulness as 'I-I' is present without let even when

one has

> the notion of seperateness, the awareness of this feeling would be absent.

> When through conscious effort the 'I'-thought is traced to its source and

> merges there one becomes conscious of the continous sparkle of the Heart.

> Cease all talk of 'I' and search with inward-diving

> This is the way of wisdom.

> To think, instead, "I am not this, but That I am",

> When the mind turns inward seeking "Who am I?"

> and merges in the Heart,

> then the 'I' hangs down his head in shame

> and the One 'I' appears as Itself.

> Though It appears as "I,I", it is not the ego.

> It is Reality, Perfection, the Substance of the Self.
