Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Pranam to Bhagavan Arunachala - With the help of you, I am able to see the cover page of Day by Day with Bhagavan of Sri Ramanashram, Tiruannamalai and thanks for the same. I am very much thankful to you. If Bhagavan permits, I can have a copy of that book and where can I get it please can you help out kindly. once again pranam and dhanyawad Venkatesh.Y Venugopal AK <akvenugopal wrote: I have a copy of a book named "Day by Day With Bhagava" , Published in 1952 by Sri Ramanashram, Tiruannamalai - From the diary of Deva Raja Mudaliar. The book is yellowing with age. A photo of the book is attached with this e-mail. The following is from this book.Bhargava : "What is awareness and how can one obtain and cultivate it?". Bhagavan : " You are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it".This was obviously a bit too much for Bhargava and he was wondering how it was an answer to his question, but Bhagavan came to his help by adding : "Al;l that nyou have to do is to give up being aware of other things, that is of the not-Self. If one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and thaty is the Self". Regards Venugopal Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage. Get it now Fussy? Opinionated?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Thank You Venugopal, this is a beautiful thing for me to read today... I even wrote it down to read it again. Sangha, there is a vasana where if I perceive that my lover doesn't love me (through some action), anger comes and I want to run away. Of course this is not true. He does love me, it is just my perception, which is not seeing things as they are. This is of course because of being treated badly (lied to etc), or not loved in the past relationships. I know the people in the past weren't able to because of their own vasanas. This is all ok with me. But still the impression of this colors the present at times and " i " read the situation wrongly. The time of recognizing this is much shorter than it used to be, and " i " snap out of it after a couple of hours lately. And apologize to a forgiving partner. He is learning to remain in love as the reaction is not who I am. He is doing very well, and this is most helpful in seeing and letting go of the vasana. As Ramana said, all I have to do is give up being aware of the not-Self. I guess it is just persistence and patience to keep letting go of the not-Self.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Dear SYma and Yosy, I have read, Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj, telling that he had great faith in his guru and hence followed the advise to concentrate on the "I Am" part of his awareness and attained 'Enlightenment'. Asked what is required quality, he says 'Earnestness'. As an example he says, if you lose some article, and if you badly require it, you will search earnestly and find it. I think, earnestness is more than sincerity. One can be very sincere and do nothing, undertake no action. Earnestness calls for meaningful action. Love itself without any associated action is useless - IMHO. One devotee asked Shri Ramakrishna, what quality one should have to realise God. Shri Ramakrishna says, 'One who is drowning, how much intense desire he has to get air to breath, same intense desire one must have for God realisation !!".

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 The mind produces thoughts ceaselessly, even when you do not look at them. When you know what is going on in your mind, you call it consciousness. This is your waking state - your consciousness shifts from sensation to sensation, from perception to perception, from idea to idea, in endless succession. Then comes awareness, the direct insight into the whole of consciousness, the totality of the mind. The mind is like a river, flowing ceaselessly in the bed of the body; you identify yourself for a moment with some particular ripple and call it " my thought " . All you are conscious of is your mind; awareness is the cognizance of consciousness as a whole. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Do you understand Pete or Tim or Dan or anyone else that believes the deluded mind? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you know what is going on in your mind, you call it consciousness. This is your waking state - your consciousness shifts from sensation to sensation, from perception to perception, from idea to idea, in endless succession. Then comes awareness, the direct insight into the whole of consciousness, the totality of the mind. The mind is like a river, flowing ceaselessly in the bed of the body; you identify yourself for a moment with some particular ripple and call it " my thought " . All you are conscious of is your mind; awareness is the cognizance of consciousness as a whole. > > > > > Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj > > > > > Do you understand Pete or Tim or Dan or anyone else that believes the deluded mind? > > > > > Mark > > > > > > > > Hi Mark - > > > > > > > > If you believe there is a deluded mind to believe, that belief is a delusion of the deluded mind. > > > > > > > > If you don't believe that: no worries, mate. > > > > > > > > - Dan - > > > > > > > I believe all belief is deluded.
