Very reassuring dialogue between Ramana Maharshi and a seeker
Devotee: Buddha is said to have ignored such enquiries about God. Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharshi: And, for this he was called a sunya vadin (nihilist). In fact Buddha concerned himself more with directing the seeker to realise Bliss here and now than with academic discussions about God etc. D: God is described as manifest and …

A comfortable life
One thing is certain – if you have a comfortable life you will not be truly motivated to seek God or the truth. Your interest will be casual or more like a fun intellectual exercise.

What is the heart?

It has been described by Vishnutirthji Maharaj and in Gyaneshwari Again I suspect this is very different from Shiv heart which has been well …

How to train mind?

Importance of a Guru
From Ramana Maharshi Becoming keenly aware that worldly life is full of misery, because it is infested with desire and fear, one should approach a Guru, a sage who is free from those bad forces, and after doing reverence to his holy feet should question him about how to become free. V.3 The sage will …

Ashtavakra gita
What kind of nonsense is this? The world is filled with himself / herself? Is your meditation to this degree? Do you think it is just lunacy? A totally lunatic thought process that you are everywhere? Mind you, there are many idiots out there – who keep saying and thinking this way – and tell …

The problem is….
After reading the last blog , I noticed that most readers are not interested in God. They want to learn about chakra. Read about it. But not experience it The chakras are different stations on the way to knowing God. They are very powerful stations. Some of the lower chakras have descriptions like – once …

Tip of the iceberg
From Ramana Maharishi D.: If trance be my natural state, why is it said that trance is necessary to be got before Realisation? M.: That means that one should be aware of his eternal state of trance. Inattentiveness to it is ignorance. ‘Pramado vai mrtyuh’ (inattention is death itself). D.: How can I be attentive …
