I am from India and now living in the U.S. In India, I lived with a Holy Saint named St. Nikka Singh Ji. He was from the Sikh tradition. I learned from him, Shri Guru Granth Sahib, the Bhagavad Gita, and so many scriptures. I knew the art of meditation. He told me that learning of scripture is not enough, but understanding self-knowledge is necessary. And according to his instructions, I was practising meditation and got the experience of bliss, which we can not explain in words. It's the last knowledge of Vedanta. The main thing that I want to share is that, as I did in my life, the most important thing is to do meditation daily. Real life is our eternal life. We should sit down and start to look at our thoughts. By regular watching, we can find lasting peace, which is our natural state. Then there is no stress, anxiety, or problem because, in this method, we are coming out of the field of our minds. Our mind creates problems and then wants to solve them. But the reason is itself a problem. By the observation flow, the mind starts to delete, leaving the self or ‘eternal peace ‘.

The paramount task

This is third chapter of Ramana Gita. I write according to Ramana Gita not any comment from me. but as practically I found it very real.

In this third chapter we record ,for the delight of the wise ,the conversation between Daivarata and Acharya Ramana.

Daivarata: In samsara ( This world) what is the paramount task of a man? May Bhagavan be pleased to decide and explain it to me?

Bhagvan: The aspirant has to discover his own real nature which is basis of all actions and there fruit.

Daivarata: What in brief is means to know one’s own nature ? what is the effort that can bring about the sublime inner vision?

Bhagvan: Strenuously ( Reguiring exertion) withdrawing all thoughts from sense objects,one should remain fixed in steady non-objective enquiry.This ,in brief ,is the means of knowing one’s own real nature; this effort alone brings about the sublime inner vision.

Daivarata: O Best of Sages ,will Niyamas (rules of conduct)continue to aid Spirtual effort,until success in yoga is achieved ?

Bhagvan : Niyamas do help the earnest efforts of aspirants .These Niyamas drop away of their own accord from those who have attained success and have nothing more to do.

Daivarata: Does repetion of mantra brings about the same result as the steady practice of pure, non-objective enquiry?

Bhagavan: Success attends the earnest seekers who, incessantly and with steay mind ,repeat mantra and Pravana. by repetition of mantra and pranva alone ,onr’s mind is withdrawn from senses non-

-objects and become identical with one’s own real being.

This marvellous conversation took place on seventh day of July ,1917.

This is the third chapter entitled “paramount task ” in Sri Ramana Gita.,the science of Brahman and the Scriptur of yoga composed b Ramana’s disciple Vasishta Ganapati.

Abidance in the Self.

Of what use are disputes such as the ‘ world is real’ no it is mirage,it is conscious energy,’no, it is matter” it is happiness’ ‘ no it is sorrow’ ?

Abidance in the Self state where neither the ego nor the world exists ,is acceptable to all; Maharishi Ramana.

Comments; It is the matter of practice Maharishi’s method, ” who am I ” ,when thoughts becomes slow down than a new thing appears which is bliss. I am doing from 40 years . and when you achieve it then you do not need of anything.

When the individual, for whom duality and Trinity exist, is traced, they loosen and fall, then all mental movements cease, forever: Maharishi Ramana.

Comments: duality and Trinity are our mental movements. When you ask a question to whom these arise? Naturally, you will say to me. When you trace ’ I ’, you will find every type of thought will be dissolved and you will find eternal bliss.

Grace

Featured

Grace is there all along. Grace is the Self. It is not something to be acquired. All that is necessary is to know its existence. In the same way, the Sun is pure brightness. There is sunlight, and you are surrounded by it: still, if you want to know the Sun, you must turn your eyes toward it and look at it. Similarly, Grace is only to be found by effort. Although it is here and now: Maharishi Ramana.

Maharishi Ramana;

The idea of the body is a thought. Mind is only a thought. Mind starts with ‘I am’-this is the mother thought. If one observes ‘I thought,‘ then the other thoughts will disappear. Then there will be no body, nor mind, nor ego.

ਸ਼ਬਦ ਗੁਰੂ

ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਵਾਕ ਹੈ, ਸ਼ਬਦ ਗੁਰੂ ਸੁਰਤ ਧੁਨ ਚੇਲਾ । ਇਸ ਤੁਕ ਅੰਦਰ ਸਾਰੇ ਭਾਰਤ ਦੇ ਸੰਤਾਂ ਦਾ ਨਿਚੋੜ ਹੈ ।

ਕਦੇ ਅੱਧਾ ਘੰਟਾ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਵੇਖਿਓ ਪਰ ਹੋਰ ਕੋਈ ਖਿਆਲ ਨਾਂ ਆਵੇ ਮਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਫੋਟੋ ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੀ ਰੱਖਿਓ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਅਧਾਹ ਅਨੰਦ ਤੇ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਜਾਓਗੇ ।

ਸ਼ਬਦ ਸੁਰਤ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਕੀ ਨਿਵ ਰਖਾਈ । ਇਹ ਸਾਰ ਹੈ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਦਾ. ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰਦਾਸ ਜੀ ।

ਸ਼ਬਦ ਸੁਰਤ ਕਾ ਬੰਧੳ ਬੇੜਾ ਗਗਨ ਮੰਡਲ ਕੋ ਕੁੱਚ ਹੈ । ਗਰੀਬ ਦਾਸ ॥

Bhagavadgita

Solaka no 69 Chapter 2:

Ya Misha sarw bhtanam tsea jagrti sanjami,

Nasa jagrti bhtanam sa nisha pashuti muni.

Which is night for all beings there awake, a sanjami ( who has controlled his own senses). Meaning is the Self-knowledge, which is like a night for all beings; there is a sanjami that awakens, but it is the knowledge of every being of guns (worldly knowledge), there sleeping sanjami.

Can there be a feeling of ‘I’ without that which exists always? Free from thoughts, there exists this inner being, the heart.

How then to know that which is beyond the mind? To know it is to abide, firmly, in the heart.; Maharishi Ramana.

The I thought

Featured

The ‘I’ thought is the first to die for those who have taken refuge, out of fear of death, at the of feet of the conqueror of death. Therefore, they are naturally immortal. Can they ever again be assailed by the fear of death? ; Maharishi Ramana.

My comments: when we do self- inquiry our thoughts start to minimise. The more we do the more our minds become silent. In the last, we find ‘I’ thought is the mother thought of all thoughts. It is the source of the mind. When ‘I ‘ thought is observed. Then only bliss remains. This is death the death of mind. Then one finds self – realization and you death less spirit.

Need for practice;

Effort is necessary Upton the stage of realisation. Even the self should spontaneously become evidence. Otherwise, happiness would not be complete. Unto the stage of spontaneity, there must be effort, in some form or other. Maharishi Ramana.
