Ego/mind

It is as much the nature of the ego/mind to resist what is, as it is for the heart to beat.
Just watch and see it at work.  No resistance...no mind.

Peace beneath a single roof


When will you learn, O mind,
to sleep in perfect comfort,
between the captivating lovers,
holiness and defilement?
Only when you can keep
these two consorts peaceful
beneath a single roof
will you truly encounter
the brilliance of the Goddess.

Ramakrishna Paramahansa

Accident prone

Gaining enlightenment is an accident. Spiritual practice simply makes us
accident prone.   Suzuki Roshi

From fullness to fullness in fullness...

Yanni wrote: "When Al (Drucker) was staying in the house with Baba in Kodicanal, Baba was repeating this mantra softly, sweetly, endlessly".

AUM
PUR - NA - MA - DA (That is full)
PUR - NA - MI - DAM (This is full)
PUR - NAT (From that full... )
PUR - NA - MU - DAT - CHA - TE (This full was created)
PUR - NAS - YA (And that full)
PUR - NA - MA - DA - YA (Remains ever full)
PUR - NA - ME - VA (And this fullness is no less than that)
VA - SHISH - YA - TE (All is equal ever expanding fullness)


Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti

All of this...

"Premaswaroopalara" embodiments of love..."Divya Atmaswaroopalara" embodiments of divine Atma...


This is how he addressed us when he looked out on the sea of faces.  He looked at us and saw only love...only Atma.  We saw our beloved and the Beloved saw only Himself.


"I separated myself from myself and became all of THIS"
