Concerning Atma Vichara

[Guest guest]

The goal, the sign, the purpose of Atma Vichara is to awaken the Self

within.

 

THE SIGN is a felt pulsing, " I " - " I " , the AHAM SPHURANA.

When this happens, one should drop attention to books and practices

and place ALL ATTENTION on THIS.

 

When the mind, having pure sattva as its characteristic remains

attending to the aham–sphurana, which is THE SIGN of the forthcoming

direct experience of the Self, the downward-facing heart becomes

upward-facing, blossoms and remains in the form of That, the Self.

 

The ATTENTION to the SOURCE of the AHAM SPHURANA alone IS THE PATH.

When thus attended to, Self, the Reality, alone will remain shining in

the center of the Heart as `I am I'. "

 

All practices should start with the inherent intuition that one is

already the Self. As the Self cannot be thought about or understood

intellectually, the Self itself must AWAKEN, which happens through

practices that still the mind. and reading and listening to the Truth,

until the True " I " , That which enlightens the body/mind RECOGNIZES

ITSELF BEING REFERRED TO and a SPONTANEOUS INTUITION of the HEART

(Hrdayam) occurs, manifesting as a SINGULARITY THAT ITSELF DISSOLVES

THE MIND AND OUTSHINES THE BODY.
