उपनिषदों के महावाक्य THE GREAT SAYINGS OF THE UPANIṢADS Mahā means Great. Vākya means Statement, Saying, or Sentence. Mahāvākyas are the great declarations of the Upaniṣads that point directly to the nature of Reality and the true nature of the Self. They are not merely words to be repeated. They are pointers. They point the seeker away from identification with the body, mind, intellect and individuality—and toward That which is ever-present, changeless and non-dual. They do

This is a Divine meritorious triad of verses (3 verses), The fruition of uttering this Stotram / Vedantic prayer will consecrate the thoughts, words, and deeds to attain Jivan Mukti (Liberation).

The Matrix can be read almost as a modern spiritual allegory, especially through the lens of Self-enquiry, Advaita Vedanta, and awakening from identification with the mind. Neo — the one who awakens The name Neo itself is suggestive: new, and also an anagram of “One.” Spiritually, Neo can represent the individual consciousness beginning to recognize its true nature. Thomas Anderson — the conditioned individual, living through a constructed identity. Neo — the seeker who begin

A Radical Teaching to a Sincere Seeker A much more radical teaching than ordinary “spiritual seeking.” Its central movement is from seeking something to seeing what is already happening—birth has brought death along with it, and therefore postponement is fundamentally dishonest. Some powerful things to know: “For the one who will realize: WISDOM & DEATH”.“For the ignorant: FEAR & DEATH”. That is a profound distinction. Death is common to both. Wisdom is not. The realized pers

Question: You endorse Maya's teaching, but I cannot reconcile my sense of this chair's reality with your assertion of its unreality. Ramana Maharshi: The root of your difficulty lies in the confused mingling of two separate ideas into one: the ‘I' and the 'body'. Ramana continues: When you are aware of the chair, it is the thought subsequent to the primal one, 'I am the body.' This 'I am the body' is the substratum of all your thoughts of world experience. It arises first. On

You can even create God outside yourself, the strange irony - you make an idol with your own hands, and then you bow down before and pray. You never understand what can come of praying before something that you make yourself. Seek who has made you. You sit with folded hands before a god of your own creation. But your god cannot be greater than you. It can only be smaller. That is why all the gods and goddesses seated in your temples and mosques are smaller than you. You have

Talk 187 Devotee: I maintain that the physical body of the man sunk in samadhi as a result of unbroken contemplation of the Self becomes motionless for that reason. It may be active or inactive. The mind fixed in such contemplation will not be affected by the body or the senses being restless. A disturbance of the mind is not always the forerunner of physical activity. Another man asserts that physical unrest certainly prevents nirvikalpa samadhi or unbroken contemplation. Wh

Q: What about responsibility? Bhagavan: It is the sense of responsibility that causes the bondage. Q: Have we no responsibility for what our bodies and eyes do? They might run riot and commit crimes. Bhagavan: You are not your body, and unless you are a jnani, you cannot question what a jnani would or would not do. Q: But could a jnani go through the torture camp unmoved? Has it ever been known? Bhagavan: You may think you see a jnani cry, but from your standpoint, you cannot

Q: Ravi, why do you say this world is just a dream and only an illusion? Ravi: Where are you coming from? Q: Mexico. Ravi: How did you reach India, flight, train, then bus to Rishikesh, right? Q: Yes. Ravi: So, the body only had a little bit of movement. It walked from home to a cab, within the Airport, and a few other walks here and there. But otherwise, some container service, or conveyance, only brought this body here, now up to this Satsang, correct? Q: Yes. Ravi: All our
