Scary ?!

Strange.

 

 

 

))) our natural state only seems strange to the mind

still immersed in the dream.

 

"I wearied myself searching for the Friend

with efforts beyond my strength.

 

I came to the door and saw how

powerfully the locks were bolted.

 

And the longing in me became that strong,

and then I saw that I was gazing

from within the presence.

 

With that waiting, and in giving up all trying,

only then did Lalla flow out

from where I knelt."

 

- Lalla

Dearest Viorica,

 

"Kundalini is the eternal bliss; yes, it is so. Eternal bliss is in

the heart. Infinite light is Kundalini! Kundalini is the "Light of

Brahma". The sun-light is the subtle light. The solar nerve is the

Sushumna- The lunar nerve is the Ida and the stellar nerve is the

Pingala.

 

The nerve of the third eye is the seat of Jnyana. In this nerve is

Jnyana. In this nerve is (Jnyana) sleep - Sushupthi. In sleep, there

is no wakefulness. Enjoy this sleep. Harmonizing both Prana and

Apana, enjoy the subtle sleep. Harmonizing the Prana and Apana, enjoy

the eternal bliss. The seat of breath is the truth. It is the

internal space (Chidakasha). In the eternal space is the tower of

eternal bliss. This tower is the seat of eternal peace. In

the "unconscious sleep", enjoy the "conscious sleep" of bliss. This

is not the sleep of beasts. Sleep the "sleep of man". Enjoy that

sleep which must be the aim and end of man. Sleep the sleep of

the "spiritual eye" (Upanayana). When talking, when sitting, without

any desires, without any thoughts, sleep this spiritual sleep. Fixing

your attention on breath, sleep. Perform the natural "Japa" of the

inward and the outward breath. Have mental (subtle) Bhakti; yes, have

it. Attain liberation from bondage. Have constant Bhakti; never

interrupted. Breathe up and down without any restraint. Drawing the

breath upwards is Pooraka; stopping the breath is Kumbhaka. Kumbhaka

is your "real seat".

 

God pervades the universe in the

form of subtle energy. Creation is caused by the doubts of the mind.

Creation is purely a mental affection. When you have attained

the "same-sightedness", there will be no creation.

 

 

The Nature of the Absolute

 

This is Shiva-Shakti, the creative power of the indivisi-

ble One. And God's creative power is the Self, the One

reality. (Sutra 63)

 

The Absolute, the ultimate reality, the highest of all--this is pure

consciousness. This pure dynamic consciousness is the basisand source

of all manifestation, large and small. Many names have been given to

this "ground of all": Shiva, Parashakti,

Parabrahma, Atman, the Self, God. It is the divine consciousness in

all, the One consciousness. This ocean of pure potentialityhas two

inseparable aspects: pure potential (Shiva) and pure energy (Shakti).

Shakti is the supreme creative aspect of the Absolute, vital and

dynamic. It is both completely stable and never still, the eternally

pulsating sound and power of Om: the creative energy of Life, Omkar.

 

Within the sea of pure consciousness, this resonance causes movenent,

waves, and ripples that intersect and mingle, rise and

break. All manifestation arises from the movement and interaction of

forces precipitated by the resonance that is Omkar.

Omkar is th original word (paravac), the universal sound (shabda),

the "Word" in the Gospel of St. John ("In the beginning was the Word

and the Word was with God and the Word was God." John 6:1) In the Rig

Veda, one of the most ancient of Indian holy texts, Omkar is vac,

creator and substance of all. Omkar is pulsating everywhere, always

at the same time. It is form-less, completely open, pure potential.

 

~Sri Nityananda

 

 

 

But O how wonderful! I am the unbounded

deep in whom all living things naturally arise,

rush against each other playfully, and then

subside.

 

- Ashtavakra Gita

Chapter 2, verse 25

 

 

 

People often ask how the mind is controlled.

I say to them, 'Show me the mind and then

you will know what to do.' The fact is that

the mind is only a bundle of thoughts. How can

you extinguish it by the thought of doing so

or by a desire? Your thoughts and desires are

part and parcel of the mind. The mind is simply

fattened by new thoughts rising up. Therefore

it is foolish to attempt to kill the mind by

means of the mind. The only way of doing it is

to find its source and hold on to it. The mind

will then fade away of its own accord.

 

- Sri Ramana Maharshi

 

 

LoveAlways,
