Mind well… Mind is never a problem!


Mind well….
The world doesn’t operate
‘cause of your mind!
In fact…
it appears to exist
‘cause of your mind!

Mind is a friend;
Though little naughty.

YOU
are
Prior to
the mind
And
hence
separate!

Mind well… Mind is never a problem!

There could be
umpteen recipes
for
making ‘something’.
But
can there be
any recipe
for
making ‘No-thing’??
Does ‘Nothing’
need
any recipe??? :-)

Being is ‘ease’… &
Becoming a dis’ease’!

Life is an illusion...Beyond doubt, Beyond belief

about
an illusion
is the
biggest illusion!

Any effort

the illusion
is part of
the illusion!

Any process
to end
the illusion
is indeed
another illusion!

The ‘seeking entity’
that is
trying to
recognize
the illusion

The Mother of
All the illusions!

YOU are prior
to
this primordial illusion....!

Of

could be
painful
But
Missing
one’s own presence
is certainly
Awesome...! :-)

Jai Guru

Kar gayaa re… Kar gayaa re
Kar gaya mujhape jaadu Sanwariya
Kar gaya dil pe jaadu!
Ye kya kiya re…
Gazab kiya re…
Kar gaya mujhape jaadu Sanwariya!

The Master has casted such a fascinating spell of magic that I am not found anywhere. The heart is pumping  with overflowing gratitude....... Is it my absence or His presence...!!! Whatever..... Who knows.... Who cares ...! Lol

'मी' कोण आहे? : मूळभूत प्रश्न


"मूळ-भूत" प्रश्नाचे उत्तर मिळत नसते.
'भूत' नष्ट झाले की.... 'मूळ' आपसुक उघडे पडते...
'मूळ-स्वरुप’ आपसुक मोकळे होते…!
'भूत' म्हणजे काय... कल्पना... भास.
जे नाहीये पण आहे असे वाटते.. 'ते'.
'भूत' म्हणजे... शोधणारा... साधणारा...!
कशाला साधायला जाते आहे हे भूत...
तर मूळाला,
मूळ-स्वरुपाला... जे स्वतः असंध आहे ! :-)

A beggar millionaire

A millionaire beggar’ story talks about something much deeper than it appears on the surface.

It is the story of each spiritual seeker.
Each one is seeking for ‘something’
which is essentially ‘Eternal’…..
call it SELF or Truth or Peace
or Happiness or Love.

Why is anyone searching for something Eternal? Because at some or the other instance, each one recognizes the futility of
the temporal peace or joy or happiness.
The search for something Eternal continues but through known means of relationships or money or fame or position.

Not knowing that the Peace or Happiness
is his/her Real Nature but simply because of loss of memory like this millionaire … until ‘someone’ reminds him/her about IT.

Once cognized… convinced & realized …
no one can really beg for That which is his/her Own Nature…Real Nature… which is undeniable Peace or uncaused Happiness or the Unborn Principle!

To be honest …
’A millionaire beggar’
was my own story… until ‘the Friend’ … ‘the Satguru’ confiscated the begging bowl & compassionately reminded my Real Nature. The undeniable trust bloomed on the ground of love & the beggar which was just a thought... a dream … a shadow; dissolved in its Real Substance. The Millionaire woke up from the dream of being the beggar! :-)  Jai Guru

A millionaire beggar


A millionaire
lost his memory
and
was found begging
on the roadside.

A ‘distant’ friend
recognized him
and instantly
reminded him
about the reality
with details
including his
bank accounts etc.

Will
the millionaire
be able
to beg again
after that…???

Any idea…???

Please share
if you wish
or
Just ignore it :-)

मूळ स्वप्न कोणते ?* : (*फक्त प्रौढांसाठी)

Picture Courtesy: Dr Vaishali Kute
एक आहे झोपेतील स्वप्न... दुसरे आहे जागृतीमधील स्वप्न. दुसरे स्वप्न म्हणजे पहिल्याचे प्रतिबिंब. ह्या जागेपणीच्या स्वप्नामध्ये अनेक स्वप्ने जन्म घेत राहतात आणि विरून जातात. राजा भिकारी झाला काय किंवा भिकारी राजा झाला काय... सर्व ह्या स्वप्नामध्येच! मग ही स्वप्ने पूर्ण झाली काय आणि नाही झाली काय... सर्व एकच ना ? स्वप्नातल्या स्वप्नांचे काय ते मोल... काय ती किंमत..?

खरी किंमत आहे... हे ओळखण्यात की... हे जागृतीतील स्वप्न (जे एरवी... किंवा नेहमीच खरे वाटते) हे मूळतः स्वप्नच आहे... मग सर्व स्वप्ने लोप पावतात आणि जे कायम आहेच ते आपलेच सत्य-नित्य स्वरूप, सदगुरुकृपेने आपसुक उघडे पडते... मोकळे होते.

स्वप्न... स्व-पण... जाणीव.... हे मूळ स्वप्न आहे हे ओळखायचे आहे फक्त... त्यानंतर हे जागेपणीचे स्वप्न चालूच राहते परंतु फक्त स्वप्न म्हणून... मौज म्हणून... खेळ म्हणून. :-) मौजेमध्ये कसले बंधन आणि कसली मुक्ती..? :-) मुक्ती म्हणजे... मुक्तीच्याही कल्पनेतून मुक्ती आहे रे... !

अजून काही सांगण्यासारखे आहे का...? अजून काही ऐकण्यासारखे आहे का...? अजून काही वाचण्यासारखे आहे का...! अजूनही काही जाणण्यासारखे आहे का...!?
मला तरी नाही माहित...:-))

सप्रेम शुभेच्छा !

एक संपूर्ण प्रवास















एक प्रवासः संपूर्ण... अपूर्ण....संपूर्ण.

सुरुवात संपूर्ण आणि अंतही संपूर्ण.
अंत नव्हे ती तर परिपूर्णता..!
ह्या दोन्हींच्या दरम्यानचा प्रवास म्हणजे...
पूर्णानेच पूर्णाला...
अपूर्णाच्या वेषात मारलेली एक प्रदक्षिणा..!

संपूर्णातून अपूर्ण कसे काय बरे निघणार...!
तसे कधीही निघालेले नाही आणि
निघूही शकत नाही...
कारण तो त्याचा स्वभावच नाही!
त्यातून निघतो तो फक्त... "अपूर्णतेचा भास"!

अ'पूर्ण'तेच्या पोटात जितका
‘पूर्ण’ भरलेला आहे तितकाच
सं'पूर्ण'तेच्या पोटातही आहे ना...!
अपूर्णतेच्या भासाची गाठ एकदाची सुटली...
कि पूर्णाला पूर्णाची गाठ पडली....
पूर्णाला पूर्णाची ओळख पटली.

जेथे खरी ओळख पटली
तेथे खोटी ओळख संपली...!

सप्रेम नमस्कार

If you allow...


Birth,
The primary
Conceptual tree…
On which clings & grows
Many beautiful…
& few fearful...
Parasitic concepts…!

Like….

Time … death
Re-birth… reincarnation
Divinity… spirituality
Duality… non-duality
Efforts… effortless
Paths … progress
Ease … disease
Bondage… freedom
Realization… enlightenment
And
what not… !

In case,
if someone allows...
the Existence…
the Satguru…
shakes this tree
And
Uproot it….
to release
“What IS”
from
the clutches of
all the futile concepts…! :-)

Why am I getting so late?


MG: It’s been very long journey. Why am I getting so late?

NR: Earnestness with Patience :-)
This term…Earnestness with Patience,
though looks funny & paradoxical 
but has an essential probability &
tremendous potential to Unearth ITSELF…or...
The Eternal Ease…Your Real Nature… or The Truth!

Earnestness and Patience,
though appear to be contradictory and yet they coexist!

Earnestness operates at one hand through
the under-current that IT must be unearthed &
at the same time,‘Eternal Patience’ also operates
through the solid Faith that
IT can’t hide for longer than IT is required to.
So have the Faith that IT will get Unearthed
as soon as IT is fully ripe. 

A fully ripe fruit falls by itself and  
never hang on without reason & that’s the beauty…! :-) 

Look at this lion king…
so much earnest to find the prey and yet so patient! :-) 

Everything arrives at the Right Time 
which includes the night & the morning…
the darkness & the light!
Thank you so much.

With Love,

Nitin Ram
