A Glimpse of Self Realisation

New Book about Sri Ramana Maharshi

“In my opinion, Aham Sphurana, a Glimpse of Self Realisation, will become a Treasure Trove of Wisdom to the Seekers of Truth in general, and particularly to the devotees of Bhagavan.”

Swami Hamsananda – Athithi Ashram, Tiruvannamalai

The Secret of Jnana is Bhakti. Unselfish Love.

A Dialouge with Sri Ramana Maharshi

Gajapathi: To everyone who comes here Bhagavan recommends vichara only. 

Bhagavan: Vichara is a means to eliminate ignorance, which obnubilates Love from Shining forth, for the nature of the Self is Love Itself. Love cannot be practised as a sadhana. All that is possible is to surrender to it. There is no such thing as inculcation of Love. Love is already there. It, alone IS. All that is needed on your part is to give up thought, which makes you imagine yourself to be apart from Love, and so merge in Love. Then there is only Love, which is bliss beyond imagination. 
           To one who has discovered the ecstatic joy of volitionless Love, sadhana is a laughable absurdity. Unto those who solicit justifications, we may say that such Love blossoms only in souls which have perfected their sadhanas in previous births.

Poem of J. Krishnamurti

A Beautiful Poem

by J. Krishnamurti​

I have no name;
I am as the fresh breeze of the mountains. 
I have no shelter; 
I am as the wandering waters.
I have no sanctuary, like the dark gods; 
Nor am I in the shadow of deep temples.

I have no sacred books; 
Nor am I well-seasoned in tradition. 
I am not in the incense burning upon the high altars;
Nor in the pomp of ceremonies. 
I am neither in the graven image; 
Nor in the rich chant of a melodious voice. 

I am not bound by theories;
Nor corrupted by beliefs. 
I am not held in the bondage of religions; 
Nor in the pious agony of their priests. 
I am not entrapped by philosophies; 
Nor held in the power of their sects. 

I am neither low nor high; 
I am the worshipper and the worshipped. 
I am free.

My song is the song of the river calling for the open seas;
Wandering, wandering; 

I am Life. 

– J. Krishnamurti

The Desire for Material Wealth

Much of life has become solely focused on material wealth. Money has become the focus all around the world, and through that focus the planet itself has become threatened by the ecological consequences. Yet the economic rationalism of the society always takes first place.

Sex and Spirituality

Does sex help me to wake up or does it prevent me from that?

I think it can help and hinder. It depends. When sex is just pure, then actually it isn’t such a big deal. It’s an energy phenomenon.
Intimate relating creates an energy field, a circle between the two people. Normally, with sex, it’s between two people, but it could be the energy flowing through twenty people.

You have asked for my ten Commandments. It’s a difficult matter,

Yet, just for the fun of it.

A Glimpse is Enough

There are a couple of things that Papaji says: ‘Having the longing for enlightenment is enlightenment.’ I think that is a very beautiful statement; it’s both profound and compelling at the same time. One other thing: ‘A little bit is enough. There is no more, a glimpse is enough.’

Non-Doing

Self‑Realisation is not achieved by doing, effort, or thought, but by naturally subsiding into stillness beyond all mental activity.

Summa Iru

Summa Iru means resting quietly, free from thought and activity, allowing the mind to dissolve and reveal natural peace.

Consciousness

The “I”-sense is not even remotely connected to anything physical. Being of the nature of consciousness, it emanates from the Self only.

War and Peace

There will be War until you find Inner Peace which is your Essential Nature.

Peace is your essential nature. Therefore there is nothing to do to be at Peace. We arrive on this planet in tremendous Peace with an invitation to enjoy, play and have fun! Then our parents raise us to be adults and without knowing better, they condition us to be nearly constantly at war.
