Self-Realization

[Guest guest]

Although much is written about Enlightenment and

mystical experiences and so forth, Self-Realization is

actually a simple thing.

 

As T.S. Eliot has said, and I paraphrase, we come back

to where we started and see it as if for the first

time. It is actually even more basic....It is a place,

when we recognize it, we see that we never even left

it, nor can we leave it to go elsewhere. Such is the

beauty of Sat-Chit-Ananda. It Knows It Self By It Self

and Through It Self.

 

Almost a quarter of a century ago, through the grace

of Bhagavan Ramana, I realized the nature of the Self.

I remember some of the thoughts which flashed in me

intuitively after the great recognition...."Of course,

of course, it is only me, what else, what else, what

else did I expect, what else could it have possibly

been!" Paradoxically, the obvious had become obvious.

 

On that day, I truly realized how ordinary I was in

every way and it filled my heart with gladness and

joy. And knowing my own Heart, and realizing that it

was the One Heart, all the scriptures made sense, and

all the teachings lost their hold. Over time, it

seemed like my heart was some leaky faucet that could

no longer be contained with love seeping out in

drips.... little drops, little drops, big drops......

 

If we see clearly with the mind, the nature of the

mind, we see that the ordinary mind is the Buddha

Mind.

 

So there is not much to do but to breathe in and

breathe out in gratitude, love, and awareness and go

about your daily life.

 

Love to all
