Just Being is Natural State

 Your duty is to Be, and not to be this or that.- Ramana Maharshi 

Be present here and now be complete and perfect undivided by mental formations, unfragmented by I, me, mine which are nothing but thoughts.

Just being is the natural state of being, this is awareness, this is presence; sink into it, and experience the vacant spaciousness, be patiently grounded there let the mind settle and as presence becomes transparent and clear watch thoughts appear and dissolve. Let all thoughts slow down, let inner stillness arise and attention becomes focused fully rest in this stillness. Just be and everything happens spontaneously and naturally effortlessly; no need to push anything away or suppress anything, any doing or effort would be an intervention just allow yourself -the ego-mind- to recede, all will naturally work itself out. It is just being not doing that is required. When dust settles, watch and contemplate the true nature of self. Being poised and equanimous in the non-local vastness of natural state of being, unperturbed; it is like the pointer of the scale at zero free, balanced, weightless. Similarly, the self is free, peaceful just sitting in awareness. Now imagine weight placed on scales causes jerky erratic movements of the pointer. Likewise, when attention shifts from being to outward objects scrambling with identification, grasping attachment to phenomenon of the mind, I awareness is now wobbly, tilting towards the ego world of objects; I is burdened, teetering with excitement or agitation and peace is disturbed. I am awareness is now I am agitated and the space of presence is space of agitation.

Rooted steadily in presence, natural silence pervades the space, observe the true nature -sense I am –that is suspended in openness immersed in stillness, and observe the fading away of identification with body mind and truth uncover spontaneously. Pass all assumptions drain out of being a person, idea of a character, all data beliefs opinions of being a separate individual. Be utterly vigilant because mind, it is still there, dormant, waiting to show up and slip into to polarity; be circumspect for the subtle ego mind tricks to take charge. 

Do nothing, just be. In being all happens naturally. Just be. Let your true nature emerge. –Sri Nisargadutta Maharaj

 

Sit in aware presence do nothing, speak nothing, and think nothing just watch as the truth about self unfold. This is spontaneous happening beyond verbal description an occurrence to be experienced. The book of knowledge opens to those who trust the process and just be; stillness speaks to those present who surrender to the presence, just let go of doing just be and yield to grace. 

🙏 May all beings find success on the path to self-realization.

Thank you!!

Sacred Silence

Silence is an empty space, space is the home of the awakened mind.- Gautama Buddha            

Silence represents the Buddha it is true nature of being of I am is Silence. It is freedom from all mind narratives and constructs of ego self that internal noise obscuring reality.   A quiet mind is a portal to the realization the eternal truth. Silence within is peace, bliss, compassion unconditional love, into which all sorrow, guilt, suffering dissolve.

Silence is truth. Silence is bliss. Silence is peace. And hence Silence is the Self.- Ramana Maharshi

Silence referenced here is not physical silence absence of speech but to the internal mental unmoving stillness and peaceful quietness. A state in which, I has resolved devoid of phenomenal objects, state of being that is pure clarity spacious, empty presence, the illumination of unbounded limitless awareness. Silence is the source of I the ego, from which proliferates the body and world.  

Abiding in the silence is egolessness- there is no trace of ego arising and no mental movements. It is a state of alert beingness, unattached, free from ignorance, wholesomeness or oneness, a doorway to liberation. Firm abidance and merging into this wisdom will gradually uproot the delusion of I, me, mine, body and world.   When the false I, the ignorance dissolves in the core essence of aware presence the heart of silence only the authentic Self remains.

Silence cannot be attained or practiced, mind cannot be made silent. Trying to quieten a noise will only leads to further noise and chaos. Natural state of Silence is revealed beyond the mind when dualistic nature is transcended, awareness is beyond the business of concepts and when conflict of identification is dropped and mind settles, then silence reveals itself just as the sunshine emerges from behind the moving clouds. Silence is the fundamental substratum of eternity, silence is awareness, presence, and the undercurrent of all creation, silence permeates.

Resting in silence that is free from rising I, free from division and noisy confusion is the highest knowledge, divine consciousness. Realization of true state of silence is freedom from illusion, world of sense perceptions, dissolution of time and space, beyond boundaries of conceptual frame work. In this state, there is only – I that is aware witnessing present moment in which the undivided whole evolving and dissolving here and now.

Let us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of the gods. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dawning of inner silence is the guiding light, the grace, the guru. One who turns towards this inner light seeks refuge within, surrenders to the grace of the divine guru- such a being will be absorbed into the truth, ego dissolves and is effortlessly liberated. The truth of I is aware silent empty presence yet infinite potential.

🙏 May all be freed from suffering and may their true nature awaken. 

Thank you. 🙏

 

Process of Awareness

This perception of division between the seer and the object that is seen, is situated in the mind. For those remaining in the heart, the seer becomes one with the sight.“ —  Ramana Maharshi

True nature of I is unbound wholeness in its perfection is open and receptive to all that passes through. Subject and object arise together against the background of boundless awareness. But awareness is overlooked, as the focus is on that which is arising, thoughts, feelings perceptions etc. I am angry, this thought arises mutually with awareness, obviously only then it can be known. However, -I am angry, if this grabs attention then, it creates separation of a limited self from the whole and awareness is veiled or obscured. Thought then proliferates into other thoughts, emotions and bodily action. The fallacy of I residing behind the eyes interacting with my world is due to subject object split caused by intervention of thought. This conventional way of living from grasping of false identification as I, and attachment with the illusory world is the cause of misery and suffering.

In the gap between the Subject and the Object lies the entire misery of humankind ~Krishnamurti

Thought activity happens in the indivisible whole of aware presence and eventually dissolves in awareness, it is a temporary modulation of awareness and witnessed by itself. But the subject object duality is caused by hindrance from thought. This erroneous subject object play happening automatically generates an imaginary subject within, who knows objects outside. Default living in busy noisy minds thinking, reacting, judging, evaluating, concretizes the sense of I, me, myself.

Mirror is merely a surface which reflects but itself can own nothing. Similarly, experiences are passing reflections cannot be owned. Subject object of perception, are insubstantial appearances spontaneously co-arise with awareness from unconsciously by habitual thought activity, but they cannot exist independent of awareness. There is only act or process of happening, perceiving or more accurately process of awareness.

This clarifies the selfless nature of objects and true nature of subject, illusion of a separate self or person with body and mind. I am angry is only a thought, it is inconsequential when it is unattended and let go. There is no person to claim ownership for anything arising. There are no obscuring or veiling by subject object as these are also passing phenomenon in awareness.  The whole play is of aware presence complicated by habitual egoic identification which is nothing but a display of awareness as it forks itself into various parts and merges back into the source. As a beam of white light is spilt into band of different colors by a prism. What I am is neither the observer nor observed but I am is the aliveness, a function of unceasing observing of aware presence. As subject object dissolve the natural self becomes obvious.

The seer and the seen together constitute the mind. See if there is such a thing as the mind. Then, the mind merges in the Self, and there is neither the seer nor the seen. – Sri Ramana

🙏 May all be freed from suffering and may their true nature awaken.
