Watchfulness

[Guest guest]

The highest rung of understanding in the great spiritual

traditions emphasize being aware of the innate wakefulness of Pure Being.

Thanks for your comments Harsha. Regarding "continual and vigilant

watchfulness": Here are a couple of verses from the "Yoga Sutras, an

interpertive translation by Swami Venkatesananda"

http://dailyreadings.com/sutras_1.htm

 

I.2: Yoga happens when there is stilling (in the sense of continual and

vigilant watchfulness) of the movement of thought - without expression or

suppression - in the indivisible intelligence in which there is no movement.

 

I. 3: In the light of non-volitional, non-moving and therefore spontaneous

and choiceless awareness the undivided intelligence with its apparent and

passing modifications or movements of thought within itself is not confused

with nor confined to any of these. Then (when yoga thus happens), the seer

or the homogeneous intelligence which is ignorantly regarded as the separate

experiences of sensations and emotions, and the separate performer of

actions, is not split up into one or the other of the states or

modifications of the mind, and exists by itself and as itself.

Thanks Roger. Beautiful and breathtaking!

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside

back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness.

Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is

where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal

Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously

arising from within into It Self. Welcome all to a.
