“Through the divine eye in the forehead, (‘the east’), the yogi sails his consciousness into omnipresence, hearing the word or Aum, the divine sound of ‘many waters’: the vibrations of light that constitute the sole reality of creation.” In Ezekiel’s words: “Afterwards he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh towards the …

But such masters are rare! They don’t go out and give lectures or give meditation lessons or talk openly about kriya yoga! They simply unlock. Open doors and you have realization. How soon? Can be instantly. If your a very very weak disciple 12 years later! That’s it.

The original scriptures were written in Sanskrit. DO NOT EVER THINK THAT THE TRANSLATION DEPICTS THE PERFECT INTERPRETATION. IN FACT TRANSLATION AND MEANING IS ONLY 10% ! Once you learn to meditate very deep, you finally understand Sanskrit language. It’s beautiful. ALL THE SANSKRIT SCHOLARS ARE A FAILURE in a sense. They have only given …

Here Maharshi differentiates between wisdom and Gyana. Wisdom is not to think plus no emotions plus no ego plus no imagination. When that happens, what is left is self = Gyana. However, eliminating thoughts and all the above is not easy. Why can we not still it? Desire. Desire for someone, something in the world. …

D.: Is an intellectual understanding of the Truth necessary? M.: Yes. Otherwise why does not the person realise God or the Self at once, i.e., as soon as he is told that God is all or the Self is all? That shows some wavering on his part. He must argue with himself and gradually convince …

True silence is not a single thought or emotion! The amazing thing is such people can constantly talk but but are so calm within that they have no emotion or thoughts ! How can they recite the highest without thinking? Simple. They are fully anchored in Divine. Aren’t they Gods?

The animal lives spontaneously, automatically, and if it watches itself live, it must be to a very minute and insignificant degree, and that is why it is peaceful and does not worry. Even if an animal is suffering because of an accident or an illness, this suffering is reduced to a minimum by the fact …

It is not a pumping-in from the outside that gives wisdom. It is the power and extent of your inner receptivity that determines how much you can attain of true knowledge, and how rapidly.

The sastras (scriptures) are not needed for an inward turned mind. They are meant for the rest. (Bhagavan in ‘Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi’, Talk 513) Why is that ? All vedas, Gita etc come from inner experiences. So once you go within they are not needed For those who do not go within, it …

TELL me, Brother, how can I renounce Maya? When I gave up the tying of ribbons, still I tied my garment about me: When I gave up tying my garment, still I covered my body in its folds. So, when I give up passion, I see that anger remains; And when I renounce anger, greed …

Don’t mentally review any problem constantly. Let it rest at times and it may work itself out; but see that you do not rest so long that your discrimination is lost.

So desirelessness is not easy. What Ramana Maharshi describes is not having desire not only in this gross physical body but also no desire of heaven either. That is two steps. No desire in physical body or subtle body. Final step is no desire in causal or karana body. That desirelessness is wisdom ! That’s …

The best instruction is heart-to-heart speech in silence. (Bhagavan in ‘Conscious Immortality’, ch. 16) The heart that Maharshi refers to is not something metaphorical nor is it the physical heart nor is it the anahat or heart chakra Are you up to the challenge of discovering it as talking with great saints?

‘Church people are sh*tty’: Megachurch pastor gives up on Christianity I am sure many people would agree about the hipocracy present in religion and the followers. In some places, religion has become a place for gossip and comparison. No wonder the priest said church goers are “sh*try” people. So don’t try to look religious. Be …

A gentleman from Hardwar: When I go on analysing myself I go beyond the intellect, and then there is no happiness. Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharshi: Intellect is only an instrument of the Self.

Being completely absorbed in ātma-niṣṭhā [self-abidance], giving not even the slightest room to the rising of any thought other than ātma-cintanā [self-thought or self-attentiveness], alone is giving oneself to God.
