LIFE LOOKS SO RICH,TREMENDOUS UNIQUINESS

LIFE LOOKS SO RICH, INFINITELY RICH

               Hakim Sanai says:

WE TRIED REASONING

IT DIDN’T WORK;

BUT THE MOMENT WE GAVE UP,

NO OBSTACLE REMAINED.

OUT OF KINDNESS: HOW ELSE

REASON TOOK US AS FAR AS THE DOOR;

BUT IT WAS HIS PRESENCE THAT LET US IN.

AS LONG AS YOU ARE UNABLE

TO KNOW YOURSELF?

ONCE ONE IS ONE,

NO MORE, NO LESS:

ERROR BEGINS WITH DUALITY;

UNITY KNOWS NO ERROR.

THE ROAD YOUR SELF MUST JOURNEY ON

LIES IN POLISHING THE MIRROR OF YOUR HEART.

IT IS NOT BY REBELLION AND DISCORD

THAT THE HEART’S MIRROR IS POLISHED FREE

OF THE RUST OF HYPOCRISY AND UNBELIEF:

YOUR MIRROR IS POLISHED BY YOUR CERTITUDE –

BY THE UNALLOYED PURITY OF YOUR FAITH.BREAK FREE

.

THE BODY IS DARK – THE HEART IS SHINING BRIGHT

THE BODY IS MERE COMPOST – THE HEART A BLOOMING GARDEN.

A rose flower does not have to be compared with other rose flowers; it exists in its own right. It has no reference to any other rose that has been on the earth or will ever be on the earth. It is individual, authentically individual.

Then look at each person as authentically individual. And then life looks so rich, infinitely rich, because it exists of tremendous uniqueness. Our comparison dulls our mind, our comparison

Gathers dust on the mirror of our consciousness

These words are saturated with bliss.

This is how this great book was born,

WE TRIED REASONING

OUR WAY TO HIM:

IT DIDN’T WORK;

BUT THE MOMENT WE GAVE UP,

NO OBSTACLE

Hakim Sanai says:

WE TRIED REASONING

IT DIDN’T WORK...

It cannot work, it is intrinsically inadequate. Logic cannot conclude about the unknowable. Logic moves into the world of the known; logic cannot take a quantum leap into the unknown. Have you not observed it? Your mind can think only about the known. How will you think about the unknown? If it is unknown, there is no way to think about it. Thinking is based on the known. That’s why thinking is repetitive, it moves in a circle. Yes, it can go on refining the known – it can go on refining it more and more, it can go on polishing the known – but it can never come to know the Unknown. At the most, it can guess about the unknown. But guesswork is guesswork; it can never become certainty. It will never give you faith, it can’t become trust, because deep down you know it is ages: it may be so, it may not be so. It cannot become a rock on which the temple of life can be raised. No, it remains doubtful. Every guess is rooted in doubt: perhaps it is so, perhaps it is not so. And there are three layers of existence. One is the known: a very small, lighted part; a lighted spot, very small, that we have come to know. Then surrounding it is the infinite unknown, a great night of darkness. But about the unknown we can have a few guesses, we can infer, because the known and the unknown are not qualitatively different. That which is known today was unknown yesterday, and that which is unknown today may become known tomorrow. So the known and the unknown correlate; they are of the same family.

Gratitude from Hakim Sanai to that strange madman, Lai-Khur.

.....BE UNREASONABLE FOR YOUR GIVEN WORD,
  YOUR STAND FOR OTHERS LIFE.

Upanishad : Core Teachings Of  Vedanta
 
        We are living UPANISHAD, and that is the only way to understand what Upanishads are. It has to become an alive experience for you.

         Upanishads are a totally new beginning.
The very word UPANISHAD is of immense importance.
The word UPANISHAD is derived from the Sanskrit root SHAD.

       SHAD has many meanings and all are significant. The first meaning is ”to sit”. The Zen people says: Sitting silently, doing nothing. The spring comes and the grass grows by itself.  That is the meaning of SHAD: just sitting silently in deep meditation; not only sitting physically but sitting deep down psychologically too. You can sit physically in a yoga posture, but the mind godson running, chasing; then it is not true sitting. Yes, physically you look still, but psychologically you are running in all the directions.
                       
          SHAD means sitting physically and psychologically both. Because body and mind are not two things, not two separate entities. Body and mind is one reality. We should not use the phrase”body and mind”; we should make one word, ”body mind”. The body is the outer shell of the mind and the minds the inner part of the body. Unless both are in a sitting posture, not running anywhere – into the past, into the future – not running anywhere, just being in the present, now and here... that is the meaning of shad; it is the very meaning of meditation.
.
            UPA-NI-SHAD is made of three words.  SHAD is to sit, to settle, to approach – to approach a Master, to sit by his side in a settled, silent state. And from the prefix UPA which means near, close, in tune with, in harmony, in communion... When you are settled, sitting silently by the side of the Master, doing nothing, running nowhere, then a harmony arises between you and the Master, a closeness, an intimacy, a nearness, a possibility of communion, the meeting of the heart with the heart, the meeting of the being with the being, This is the whole meaning of the word UPANISHAD: sitting in a settled state, unconfused, clear,
.
This is UPANISHAD – what is happening right now between you and me. This sitting silently, in deep, loving, prayerful mood, reading to me not through the intellect but through the heart, drinking, not only listening – this communion is UPANISHAD! We are living UPANISHAD, and that is the only way to understand what Upanishads are. It has to become an alive experience for you.

           Are you ever hugged tree?
               Talked with its greenery
                    Think of it………………………………..

              Unfolding a world of light in which everything isnew. This experience cuts away all bondage and then comes the realization that it was never there!  God and light are always close by. It is only a matter of opening one’s eye sand then what is ours becomes ours. The distance is just that between the eyelash and the eye ,and perhaps not even that much;  the eyes are always open only we don’t know it. Into that space where everything is silent, empty. This is the way from words to emptiness. There one meets oneself.

         I am in bliss.

        Real Wealth

       It is my only wealth.

       

     The marvel of it is that the more of it you give the More it becomes.
Real wealth is like that –it grows as you give it away; and if it
Diminishes – it is not wealth at all.!!

Everything else is fine.

Everything else is fine

As the birds sing each morning at sunrise,
The heart fills with song at the dawn of meditation.

As flowers bloom in spring,
the soul is drenched in fragrances meditation is born.
As everything glistens green beneath the rain,
the consciousness shines with many colors as
Ultimately everything goes;
Fragrance, color, light, music –
Everything disappears,
and an inner space, like the sky, appears –
Empty, formless, without quality.
Wait for that. Long for that.
The signs are good, so do not waste even a moment.
Go on! GOD IS always with you.

A rose blossoms on a bush – and blossoms to the full; but the totality
of its blossoming does not hinder the blossoming of its neighboring bud. Help and cooperation
A thousand roses can bloom to their fullest-Capacity: the totality of existence is endless.
LET US GIVE GLIMPSE THAT WHAT WHAT UPANISHADS MEANS,
Following is lines from Ishavasya Upanishad .
The Ishavasya Upanishad begins and ends with this sutra, and in it is declared all that can ever
be said. It is quite unique.
OM.
THAT IS WHOLE, AND THIS ALSO IS WHOLE.
FOR ONLY THE WHOLE IS BORN OUT OF THE WHOLE;
AND WHEN THE WHOLE IS TAKEN FROM THE WHOLE,
BEHOLD, THE REMAINDER IS WHOLE.
OM. PEACE, PEACE, PEACE.
SEEKERS- TOWARDS ATTAINMENT
As the river finds the ocean,
Thirsty souls find the temple of God.
But the thirst must be intense
And the work tireless
And the waiting without end
And the calling with the whole heart,
And all this thirst, work, waiting, calling –Are contained in one small word And that word is prayer.
But praying cannot be performed, is not an act,
You can only be in it.
It is a feeling,
it is the soul,
it is a surrender of oneself
Without words or demands.
Everything else is fine.

Swami Vivekananda Quotes

1.Karma Yoga is a method of purifying the mind through work. ... All fear and all
desire to enjoy here or hereafter must be banished for ever by the Karma Yogi. The
karma without desire of return will destroy the selfishness, which is the root of
all bondage. The watchword of the Karma Yogi is "not I, but Thou," and no amount
of self-sacrifice is too much for such a person.

2.Renunciation, nonresistance, non-destructiveness--these are the ideals to be attained
through less and less worldliness, less and less resistance, less and less destructiveness.
Keep the ideal in view and work towards it. None can live in the world without resistance,
without destruction, without desire. The world has not come to that state yet when
the ideal can be realized in society.

3.Life is and must be accompanied by evil. A little evil is the source of life. The
little wickedness that is in the world is very good. For, when the balance is regained,
the world will end, because sameness and destruction are one. When this world goes,
good and evil go with it. When we transcend this world, we get rid of both goods
and evil, and have bliss.
