The repose of being poised to one’s nature ,devotion of thoughts ,is the highest devotion.It comes from the strength of mediation.
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 conflict between the opposite, man has not enough energy to change. So if we can not in abstraction but actually, put aside completely all ideas and only deal with the fact — which is violence — then there is no wastage of energy. This is really very important to understand. ; J. Krishnamurti.
Comment; for meditation, we need more energy and when we give ideas, in a traditional way or try to escape from violence, anger, and jealousy it becomes a gap between the Observer and the thing that is observed and it is a waste of energy but if you look directly at it it becomes transformation.
Maharishi Ramana; by inquiry “Who am I” the thought “Who am I”? Will destroy all other thoughts, and like the stick used for stirring the burning pyre will itself in the end get destroyed. Then, there will arise Self-realization.
So long as thoughts of activity are there sleep will also be there. Thoughts and sleep are counterparts of the same thing.
Verse 1; The results of action flow according to the law of the Creator . Is Karma, action, God? It is insentient.—Ramana Maharishi.
When perception of the name and form ceases, there is the vision of the self. This is also the vision of God and Self is the same.—Maharishi Ramana.
Comment; when we look at the mind it starts to merge in the self which is the vision of the self or God. This is the meaning of Maharishi Ramana.
As I am sharing my views with you who are interested in ‘ Dhyana’ or meditation. Mediation is not concentrated on any figure and name like japa it is only as Maharishi Ramana gave the word Self-inquiry.
We should look over our minds meaning our thoughts. No problem how many thoughts are coming into our minds. And you will find that this chain of thoughts will start to minimize. And when any thought comes to our mind trace its source. Then if a thought appears then mentally question oneself,” To whom do these thoughts arise? And the answer will be to me. The question will be ‘Who am I?’ by repeating this method mind will get the skill to stay in the source. And what you will find that is beyond the language. It is bliss or liberation.
I am doing this method and I suggest you to do this because this mental observation will provide you eternal peace which is our real demond. Our all demands are based on this.
Where from does this ‘I’ -thought arise? If one enquire thus, it vanishes. This is the self-inqury. Maharishi Ramana.
Comments; when we trace the very source of thought which is the,’I’ it will vanishes and what will remain there is bliss. It’s the matter of practice. as you will do more and more you will find eternal bliss which can not be described by language.
Without the ‘I’ the second and third person can not exist when the ‘I’ subsidies through enquiry about its source, the second and third persons too disappear our natural state, shine forth. Maharishi Ramana.
