Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 What does it mean to “establish oneself firmly in the awareness of ‘I am’.”? Regards, Srini advaitajnana [advaitajnana ] On Behalf Of aoclery Monday, December 07, 2009 1:56 PM advaitajnana NIZ 9 No way to self-realization is short or long, but some people are more in earnest and some are less. I can tell you about myself. I was a simple man, but I trusted my Guru. What he told me to do, I did. He told me to concentrate on `I am' – I did. He told me that I am beyond all perceivables and conceivables – I believed. I gave my heart and soul, my entire attention and the whole of my spare time (I had to work to keep family alive). As a result of faith and earnest application, I realized my self (`swarupa') within three years. You may choose any way that suits you; your earnestness will determine the rate of progress. Establish yourself firmly in the awareness of `I am'. This is the beginning and also the end of all endeavour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 the knowledge that it is a "rock" is it sensed by presence of mind? from where has this presence of mind arisen? is it there because "I exist"? who is this "I" which has created this "presence"? -mahesh Srini <sraghavadvaitajnana Sent: Thu, December 10, 2009 12:02:48 PM Re: NIZ 9 A "rock' - I can understand.
