Jaz sem To - dobrodošli

 

"The truth will set you free." 
John 8:32

Prisrčno dobrodošli!

Na tej strani boste našli nekaj "potovalnih vodičev" do Sebe (takšnih, ki vodijo po najkrajši poti do cilja), pa tudi kakšen namig, da potujete samo v domišljiji in da ste v resnici že ves čas doma. 

Modrec želi z besedami zgolj izraziti svoje naravno stanje: Nisem človek, sem neopisljivo To. 

Postanite uresničevalci besede in ne le poslušalci, ki sami sebe varajo.
                                                                              Jakobovo pismo 1,22

Gita vahini

K Dovolj je, da vsa dejanja posvetiš Gospodu, brez kakršne koli želje. To je skrivnost osvoboditve.

Kdor koli med sledniki posveča vsa dejanja Meni brez drugih misli, kdor meditira name, Mi služi, Me časti, se Me spominja – ve, da sem vedno z njim in vedno poskrbim zanj na tem in na onem svetu. Prevzamem skrb za njegovo blaginjo (joga-kšema). Ali me slišiš?« je vprašal Krišna.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

1 Timothy 6:17-19

"Command those who are rich in the things of this life not to be proud, but to place their hope, not in such an uncertain thing as riches, but in God, who generously gives us everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share with others. In this way they will store up for themselves a treasure which will be a solid foundation for the future. And then they will be able to win the life which is true life."

There is nothing to figure out

There is nothing to figure out, and nothing to understand. You are not a person. There is no such thing as a person. The so-called person is merely a thought in the mind of God. In truth, it is not even that. There is only pure Awareness, Consciousness, formless, unborn, and undying, and that is who you are.

How can the apparent mind possibly comprehend this? It is not possible. The finite can never understand the infinite.The mind does not exist. You are free now. You have always been free. You have absolutely nothing to let go of, nothing to overcome, and nothing to attain. You have no samskaras, no problems, and no karma. Whatever seems to happen to your mind and body has nothing to do with you. When you truly understand this, you are free.

Seek the Source of the mind, the Source of the I-thought, by constant patient self-inquiry. When the mind is quiet, you shine in all glory.

Saranagati e-Newsletter (November 2022)

"It is not that the internet is a bad guy or that we should not use it—it offers great opportunities for the spiritual search. But our imperfect nature is having an adjustment problem in the face of machine intelligence that is powerful beyond our capacity to responsibly manage it in the short-run. We should therefore be aware how we use the internet—and how it uses us—for example, as a wilful veiling and distraction in the manner of the first alternative. The second alternative is the one Sri Ramana recommends, where we do not deny the reality of the human condition but look to its roots. By such inquiry, Bhagavan tells us, we come to see that while the personality and all we cling to as ‘ourselves’ does in fact die along with the body, we are not that."

Willpower should only be used as a backup plan

People with a lot of self-discipline realize that willpower should only be used as a last resort.

This is surprising to a lot of people because many of us believe that disciplined people have more willpower.

But willpower should never be a primary strategy for accomplishing difficult things. It should only be used as a backup plan.

“When scientists analyze people who appear to have tremendous self-control, it turns out those individuals aren’t all that different from those who are struggling. Instead, “disciplined” people are better at structuring their lives in a way that does not require heroic willpower and self-control. In other words, they spend less time in tempting situations.”

Self-disciplined people know that there are much better strategies for staying committed to their tasks and goals.

For example, self-disciplined people design their environment to be more conducive to completing a goal.

If they have to study hard for an exam, instead of trying to focus at home where they’re countless distractions around them, they go to the library, leave their phone at home and find a space without distractions to study.

Rather than using your willpower to resist temptations, why not remove them in the first place?

If you really want to be more disciplined, ask yourself:

How can I achieve my goal by using the most limited amount of willpower possible?

You and I are the same

"You and I are the same. What I have done is surely possible for all. You are the Self now and can never be anything else. Throw your worries to the wind, turn within and find Peace."

Kjer človek

Kjer človek v poslušnosti izstopi iz svojega in se svojega odreče, prav tu mora nujno vstopiti Bog; za tistega namreč, ki zase ničesar noče, mora Bog hoteti enako kot zase samega. Če /.../ nočem zase ničesar, mora zame hoteti Bog sam. Če mi torej kaj odreče, to hkrati odreče tudi samemu sebi. Tako velja prav v vsem: kjer nočem ničesar zase, tam hoče zame Bog. Zdaj pa bodite zelo pozorni! Kaj hoče (Bog) zame, če sam zase ničesar nočem? Kjer sem zapustil sebe, mora On namesto mene nujno hoteti vse to, kar hoče zase, nič več in nič manj in sicer na enak način, kot to hoče zase. Ko ne bi bilo tako – (prisegam) pri Resnici, ki je Bog sam – bi Bog ne bil pravičen in sploh ne bi bil Bog, kar pa je njegova naravna bit.

V pravi poslušnosti ne sme biti prav nobenega “Hočem tako ali tako” ali hočem “to ali ono”, ampak le čisto izstopanje iz svojega. Zato v najboljši molitvi, ki je je človek zmožen, ne bi smelo biti nikakršnega: “Podari mi tako krepost ali (nakloni mi) tale način (življenja),” niti prošnje: “Da, Gospod, podari mi samega sebe in večno življenje,” ampak le:

“Gospod, ne naklanjaj mi ničesar razen tega, kar ti hočeš, in stori, Gospod, karkoli in kakorkoli je tebi prav, na kakršen koli način.” Taka molitev prekaša ono prvo toliko, kolikor (je) nebo visoko nad zemljo, in če tako molimo, molimo dobro: če v pravi pokorščini izstopimo (iz sebe) v Boga.

Mojster Eckhart, nemški teolog, filozof in mistik (1260 - 1328)

Tao

"In the pursuit of knowledge,

every day something is added.

In the practice of the Tao [Way],

every day something is dropped.

Less and less do you need to force things,

until finally you arrive at non-action.

When nothing is done,

nothing is left undone."

Tao te Jing

Kdo si lahko jemlje pravico hoditi po poti modrosti

Meditacija (dhjana), bogočastje (pudža), ceremonije in rituali ter druge dejavnosti so predpisani za tiste, ki so preveč otopeli, da bi mogli prepoznati voljo Absoluta. Samo tisti, ki so se sposobni odpovedati trojnim sadovom posvetnih prizadevanj, si lahko jemljejo pravico hoditi po poti modrosti (gnjana). Duhovni iskalci na vedantski poti morajo biti opremljeni z/s:

1.) sposobnostjo razlikovanja med minljivim in večnim,
2. sposobnostjo odločnega odrekanja zemskim in nadzemskim užitkom,
3. sposobnostjo obvladovanja čutil, samoobvladovanjem, nenavezanostjo, moralno trdnostjo, vero in enakodušnostjo ter
4. globokim hrepenenjem po osvoboditvi.
