अभ्यास का बोध..?

अभ्यास सकारण आहे, तर बोध अकारण !
अभ्यासात प्रयास आहे, उद्देश आहे, तर बोध सहज, अनायास आहे !
अभ्यासात बोधाची अनुपस्थिती आहे, तर बोधामध्ये 'अभ्यासक'च अनुपस्थित आहे !
अभ्यासात अभ्यासक, अभ्यासलेले आणि अभ्यास असे तीन आहेत,
तर बोधात फक्त बोध ....आत्मबोध आहे !
अभ्यासात शोध, शोधणारा आणि शोध्य आहेत, तर बोधात शोध घेणाराच अनुपस्थित आहे !
अभ्यासात स्थित्यंतर, मध्यंतर आणि पाठांतर आहे, तर बोध हा पाठांतराविना निरंतर आहे !
अभ्यासात लक्ष आहे, तर बोध स्वयंभू अलक्ष आहे !
अभ्यासात श्रवण, वाचन, चिंतनाचा आधार आहे, तर बोध स्वयं, निरंजन... निराधार आहे !
अभ्यासात विस्मरणाचे भय आहे, तर बोधात 'बोध आहे' ह्याचेदेखील विस्मरण आहे !
अभ्यासाची पार्श्वभूमी आहे द्वैत, तर बोध म्हणजे 'भूमिहीन' अद्वैत....!
अभ्यास एक उप-स्थिती आहे, तर बोध ही स्थितीहीन 'कायम' स्थिती आहे !
अभ्यासात कुलूप आहे पण किल्लीचा मात्र शोध आहे,
तर बोधात कुलूप आणि किल्ली, दोन नाहीत हा स्पष्ट बोध आहे !

Seeking or the Understanding ?
http://abideinself.blogspot.in/2010/07/seeking-or-understanding.html

'बोध'

'अभ्यास' म्हणजे...
बोधाचा फक्त आभास,
आणि
'बोध' म्हणजे...
सतत, सहज, अनायास ! :-)

निर्गुणाचे भेटी.......

निर्गुणाचे भेटी.......

म्हणलं तर 'पूर्ण' आहे...

आणि म्हणलं तर फक्त 'स्वाद' आहे !

खरं तर घेणार्‍यावरच अवलंबून आहे;

म्हणलं तर 'संवाद' आहे...

आणि म्हणलं तर 'अनाहत नाद' आहे....! :-)

Freedom from the Known- A Concept

Every Pointer towards THAT is just a Pointer & nothing more !

There are chances that the newer poinetrs can turn in to newer methods

and IT is lost once again !

"Freedom from the KNOWN" is one of those cherished pointers...:-)

But the REAL FREEDOM encompasses even the Freedom from

the concept/pointer

called as "Freedom from the KNOWN" ;-)

Can you SEE the trap now....!!!! :-)

Love n CheerS

Religion V/S Spirituality

Religion* is a Protection against Fear.... & Spirituality......the Dissolution of Fear... Recognition of Fear as a mere Concept! Fearless Living happens..... :-) Love n Regards, (*Religion - Read here as organized religion)

"Nothingness" need 'nothing'

Life is Total....Complete in its entirety in this very Moment !
And why will it not be !?
There is no past and no future.....but this Moment is Total !
How can Life be seeking something !?
How can 'Everything' seek 'Anything' !
How can Life have any needs ..!?
Yes...but the notion of 'Being separate from the Life'
will surely have all sorts of needs like need for knowledge...
need for contentment... need for understanding...
need for realization...need for awakening...!
Life is not aware of any of them.........
.....not only it doesn't have any needs
but it doesn't even know that it is lacking Anything !
Life simply flows like a stream of water....like a breeze;
despite of 'knowingness' or even 'non-knowingness'.....!

With Love,

 Whatevr the Question, Love is the Answer!

An ancient Story of Judgments!

-->

An ancient Story of Judgments!

Shiva ridding on a Bull along with his wife Parvathi walking by his side 

were passing on a road.

A passerby comments, “How can this Man sit on a Bull’s back 

while his wife is walking by the side!?”

Shiva suggests Parvathi to accompany him on the Bull’s back.

Journey continued further with both of them riding on the Bull’s back.

A passerby utters, “Such a merciless couple! 

How can be they so unkind to the Bull?”

Both of them gets down and start walking by the side of the Bull.

Journey continued further….!

A passerby laughs,” Such a stupid couple! Can’t at least 

one of them ride on a Bull instead a Bull walking alone!?”

Shiva suggests Parvathi to ride on a Bull and 

there journey continued further.

After a short while some one comments again, 

“Such a shameful lady! How can she sit on a Bull 

while her Husband is walking by side ? Parvathi gets down….!

The story can have many more variants like

Shiva carrying the Bull on his shoulder ;-) Lol

It is the endless Story of Judgments!

A rare one will see IT as IT IS.

Best Wishes and Cheers!

Name & Form

One day you may be honoured in the Oscars List
the other day your name will be put in Bastards List.......
Mind wel...the 'name'....which represents the 'form', is THAT you !!!?
or the Concept called "me"....!!!!?
Someone will want their name in the Acknowledgement List
someone are running away from the Acknowledgement List.... Ha Ha Ha !!!!
Amazing Game... ; - )
Are both of them different from each other.....???
Both are connected to 'name & form'.
One is running toward &
the other running away..... Again 'name & form'.....
which is usually known as concept called "me".

CHEERS !

प्रेम

प्रेम हे, अंतराळासारखे विशाल आहे; अनंत आहे ज्याच्यामध्ये सर्व काही सहज सामावले जाते. त्यात फक्त प्रेमच नाहि तर द्वेषहि सामावला जातो. : - )

InSIDE-----OutSIDE

You may think that I am an Outsider; Whereas, I am the CORE of your 'side'less INSIDE.....! CHeeRssssssssssss : - )

तू "अकारण" आहेस्........लक्षात ठेव. जमले तर विश्वास ठेव.... नाहिच तर...........शोध घे. बास...... YOU ARE CAUSELESS....just UNDERSTAND. Believe it...if possible, if not.......Investigate, Search. CHEEEERSSSSSSSSSS

Label & Content

Amazing to see, the fascination of 'Labels' than the 'Content'........!!!!!!!! Someone say; I drink only "Bisleri" water, the other prefer "Balley", someone says, " I drink water from Silver Vessel " Someone says, " I drink from my favourite Vessel only" Are they really THIRSTY at all........& interested in drinking water or just the "Labels" are attractive............!!!!!!! Amazinggggggggggggg..... : - ) [ *Label refers here as different Masters & their Teachings ] CHEERSSSSSSS

Prescription...Or......Description...!!!!

You must have heard or read of many Look-like Prescriptions so far.... 'Kill the Ego' 'Forget yourself'' 'Just Be' 'Be passionately Dispassionate..That's it' And every Apparent Prescriptions are welcomed by concept called "me". The concept named "me" likes them all......as its apparent Existence Depends on them ! This "me" can not just Be without any concepts, names, titles......It seeks some or other activity....... Therefore This "me" runs behind different concepts of "Becoming"..... and hence all 'Descriptions' are Heard as 'Prescriptions' by this "me"....... Any Prescription...is Nothing but a pure..Description...of What IS.  

Being is 'ease'...& Becoming is Dis'ease'. 

HAPPY WHOLEY

"Sincere & Serious Probe"

Can u Find one single reason

why do u feel that

you are not THAT.............!!! 
Can u Give one single reason

why do u feel like

Searching THAT..............!!! 
Can u Tell one single reason for,

what exactly stops u

from just KNOWING,

that You Are THAT .........!!!

Ponder deeply on probable concepts in the sub-conscious..

that stops u...from Direct KNOWING (without a Knower)..!!!

Check out for any of the following Concepts (Falsely Taken as Truth) like;

Mind is not yet Still,

Thoughts still arise,

Feelings still occur,

I don't have any Non-Dual experience,

It's so difficult & only can be achieved

by lots of penance,

My Master achieved it with Sadhana (penance),

I don't have any visions yet,

I don't feel yet that there is any evidence,

or many such so called precious Concepts...
There isn't any desire HERE

to know any of your personal Concepts;

But you can find out for yourself with

A Sincere & Serious Probe...
And...... by the way Who is probing ...!

If at all you can probe the 'probing entity'.... ; - )

Cheers.......& Love.

Not A Question....Rather an Answer.....

स्वरूप-ज्ञान ही....साधनेची फलनिष्पत्ती नाही.... खरेतर साधकभावाचीच निवृत्ती आहे. साधनेदरम्यान झालेला....."साधक..साधन..आणि साध्य" ह्या त्रिपुटीचा तो...'साक्षात्कार' आहे. Cheersssssss.........

SATYAM-The Final Truth

The word 
"Satyam" 

is Certainly not 

the SATYA 
(The Final Truth) 

& 

you are taught to believe that 

only that which is seen 

by your own eyes 

is the Only Truth..!! ;-)

Paradox is that 

even the eyes fail to see 

the "Seer" !! 

  

Cheers !!!!

There could be many Spiritual Practices... But SURELY, NO Practitioner....... Cheers....!!!!

Birth...Birth....Birth....this is IT I did not even know that I existed..... and suddenly the thorn of "knowingness" bit.... and started the game of pain & pleasures.... the game of "me' and "mine"...... There was neither pain no pleasure, prior to biting of this thorn of "knowingness".... That's EXACTLY the Birth.....happening of "Birth".... But who is born really......not ME....Certainly not "I".

DASSARA FESTIVAL

What's the meaning of 'Dassara', a traditional hindu festival! Is it just the Victory of Rama over Ravana (Victory of Good against Evil) as told in the childhood?

Dassara festival is a Celebration of RECOGNIZING What I am NOT, that is...Ten heads of Ravana...
(as described in mythology)!

Seeing directly, what I am certainly Not, these ten things. The burden of ten sticks this apparent 'me' carries, until it recognizes itself!

What I am certainly not? First Body (1), second Prana/Breath (2) hence not mind (3) which is extension of breath hence not even thoughts. I am neither identified consciousness(4) as it is identified & recognized from the age of 2 and will disappear on dropping of the body, so certainly temporal. When I am not this consciousness also, how can I be three states by which this consiousness operates, like knowingness (5), waking state(6) & sleeping state (7)! At the same time when I am not this consiousness also, how can I be three gunas (attributes) by which this consciousness  functions, such as satva-guna (8), rajas-guna (9) and tamas-guna (10)!

What remains after the negation of 
ten identities, ten heads of Ravana is THAT
Indescribable, which does not fall in "subject-object type" knowing. No one can know it!

Recognition of IT just Happens.
Celebration remains without A Celebrator;-)!

Happy Dassara :-)

Witnessing.......!!!!??? for whom..???

Qtn: Is it possible for, either a common man or a realised soul to be in "witnessing mode" every moment !?

Ans: A Direct SEEING.... may happen....with inward questioning like.... 1] why witnessing ??? 2] "who" has need to witness ? 3] what is the identity that does "witnessing" ? 4] Is "witnessor" really exists ?

If not....DIRECT SEEING....

the common man as u said [ say sadhaka ] start witnessing [ with a tool "I Am" or "beingness" which is the only capital available from age of 2 yrs ] & that is they do/teach in vipassana Meditation....Witnessing of breath, feelings, thoughts etc...everything that is Not "YOU"....

For years of such practise Happen & yet search does not end because belief of being the searcher "Remains'.... In this stage the strong notion persists that the "Witnessor" is separate from the "Witnessing", hence the so called sadhana [ spiritual practise ] continues..[ Witnessor is nothing but "knowingness without words"..which itself is temporal, because it started after 2 yrs of so called birth...& U see, we never had Any need of witnessing prior to Birth, Do u remember ??? I do not remember ...] And yet this kind of "Witnessing" Happens.. to begin with...till the belief in presence of the "Witnessor" as separate entity, which De-focuses so called sadhakas attention from "me as 'only the body' notion"....

When...DIRECT SEEING Happens..if it happens...the apparent "witnessor" gets dissolved/merged in "witnessing" [Beware, NO causality in CORE but surely Apperance of Causality as long as "Appearance is only REALITY" for the particular so called sadhaka ] & I guess.....

Realised is the ONE [ rather NONE ...forget the Labels ] who has recognised the Trinity of Witnessor, Witnessing object & Witnessing as ONE.....3 in 1 :-) Not intelectually, but Existentially...:-) that is my understanding ...i guess...i do not know...Anything.....

The so called "realised" also may be witnessing things while interacting with all apparent others....on consiousness level [ level of knowingness ] but otherwise "WHAT IS" prevails in Non-Witnessing/ Non-Knowing stateless state.......................... i guess...so [ a piece of conceptual garbage ]...who cares...it is as it is at this moment....HERE... Every word uttered is Concept [ in a way wordy garbage ] hence can be negated also :-) No way to express without any Labels...as long as one knows that his/her name is not HIm or HER...

tks n regards Morning Cheeers ******
