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 ‘.

Eternal peace.

The saints of India used to say that Samadhi and deep sleep are the same. In deep sleep, there are no Thoughts, and we feel freshness but don’t understand due to illusion.

In the Samadhi, when we observe, our thoughts start to be deleted or minimised. Then, we can find the experience of ‘bliss’ or stat-chart-ananda. But it’s not an illusion. We see it with full awareness. It is effortless to understand.

Self-inquiry

Question to Maharishi Ramana.

Devotee; What is the use of Samadhi?

Answer; Samadhi, and only Samadhi, has the exclusive ability to reveal the self. Our thoughts act as a veil,obscuring our true nature.that is why other methods fall shorts in this regard .In the vison of samadhi ,only the pure essence ‘I am’ remains.

Comments; My teacher Saint Nikka Singh ji ,told a story. Vad Viasa was a scholar, he studied so many holy books. He has translated Upanishads and defined The Bhagavad Gita as believed when Sri Krishana spoke only seven solakas because it was a time of battle. Vad Visya wrote seven hundred Solaks of that idea. One day he was confused that I had not crossed the ocean of ignorance. becuse ‘Moha’ attachments were there. and still felt pleasure and pain.So he went on a spiritual journey to understand this confusion.on the way ,he met to Narda and asked him.He suggested that he should go to Sanaka and Sanandna ,who were seven brothers,who lived in the Himalayas in meditation.He went there.

He told them his problem .They asked to Vad Visya what he had studded ? He told them his very knowledge of Spiritual books.They said,” The knowledge which you have is of ‘Upra” Knowledge (knowledge of language) or wordily knowledge. but for this ,you have to learn ‘Para’ knowledge which is knowledge of meditation or Smadhi. Then he stayed there and started to do meditation.

Need for practice

your practice is meant not to allow yourself to be distracted by other thoughts ; Maharishi Ramana.

Comments; it is not possible to achieve eternal peace which is our real nature , when our thoughts are going on. so we have to practice the method of Self-inquiry for stillness of our mind.in peaceful mind we can got puffs of bliss.

Guru

The Guru is both external and internal. From the exterior he gives a push to the mind to turn it inwards. From the interior he pulls the mind inwards. from the interior he pulls the mind towards the Self and helps in guiding the mind. That is Guru’s grace. There is no difference between God,Guru and Self; Maharishi Ramana.

Sat – Darshanm

On the rising of the ego everything rises and with its subsides all subside. The ‘ego’ is therefore all and tracking is the way to victory over everything….. Maharishi Ramana.

Comments; As Maharishi describes that ‘ego’ or ‘I’ thought is the source of all the problems. because ,Jiva, Samnsara, or esharwa all will subside when source of its found.when mind will be quite then a new diamenion will be found which is bliss.

Sat- Darshanam

without the,’I’ the second and third person can not exist.

When the ‘I’ subside through inquiry about its source ,

The second and third persons too disappear, our natural state ,shines forth….Maharishi Ramana.

Comments; It looks very simple but it is very meaningful. as maharishi describing his own experience. when we trace or watch the source of ‘I’ of the thoughts which is mother thought. every type of thoughts starts from ‘ I’ thought.and when we watch this place then every thought emerges in the self and our natural state shines as bliss.

Wastage of energy

Man is trying all the time to become non-violent. So there is a conflict between ‘what is’ which is violence, and what ‘should be ‘which is non-violence. there is a conflict between the two. That is the very essence of the wastage of energy. As long as there is a duality between ‘what is’ and ‘what should be ‘ that is the wastage of energy. -Man is trying to become something else, making an effort to achieve what ‘should be ‘ that conflict is wastage of energy.

Why should I have the opposite at all, as non-violence as the ideal? The ideal is not real, it has no meaning, it only leads to various forms of hypocrisy: being violent and pretending not to be violent. Or if you say you are an idealist and will eventually become peaceful. It is a great pretence, an excuse because it will take many years for you to be without violence. Indeed it may never happen. In the meantime, you are a hypocrite and still violent. So if we can not in abstraction but actually, put aside completely all ideals and only deal with the fact — which is violence – then there is no wastage of energy.this is very important to understand: J. Krishnamurti.
