Apart from the Supreme Brahman, which is Knowledge,
Neither you nor I nor anyone exists.
Without Supreme Brahman, which is Knowledge.
There is no multitude of appearances like the body and such.
Without the Supreme Brahman, which is natural Knowledge,
There is no reality-unreality.
Without Supreme Brahman, which is Knowledge,
There are no divisions such as the Supreme, the Individuals,
and the World.
(6)
Apart from Brahman, the shining Knowledge,
There is neither Duality nor Non-Duality.
Without Brahman, the luminous Knowledge,
There is neither Darkness nor Light; nor is there Space.
Apart from the Brahman, the untainted,
There is neither the great nor the trivial, nor anything
else.
Apart from Brahman, the clear Knowledge,
There is nothing that is seen as an Illusion.
(7)
Apart from Brahman, the Awareness untarnished by thought,
There is neither Body, nor Life, nor the World.
Apart from Brahman, the unsullied Awareness,
There is neither Cause nor Effect.
Apart from Brahman, the manifest,
There is nothing to be taught or to be learned.
Apart from Brahman, the Awareness,
There never is an appearance of Duality.
(9)
Apart from Brahman. the differenceless Knowledge,
There is no differentiation such as Bondage or Liberation.
Apart from Brahman, the luminous Knowledge,
There is not a bit of Sorrow or Happiness or such.
Apart from Brahman. the unaffected Knowledge,
There is no such word as "no".
The Supreme Brahman, of the nature of undivided Knowledge,
Without beginning or end, is all.
The nature of my realization was such that the ‘I’ that
asserts its own reality was revealed as false & disappeared, but not the
‘I’ that is the unique, pure, non- dual Self that exists permeating all things
equally.
The Enlightened State
Through tenacious Self-Inquiry into the Self the pure “I” springs
forth, eliminating the false personal Identity. We should realize that that
true “I”, filled with the Light of our own True Nature, is the Supreme Reality itself.
Dualistic concepts such as “I” & "He" are a treacherous trick
of the mind that assumes the form of the Body. Eliminate therefore this
powerful mental imagination & discern the Self.
Even now, if you entirely eradicate the personal Ego based
on the multifarious nature of the non-Self, you will experience an intense
& limitless Awakening, as your true nature, the Supreme Self, shines out.
Realization in all its clarity flourished in the form of
Self-Consciousness, the light of Truth shining in the Heart as the vast expanse
in which there is no arising of the contemptible Ego.
The death of the Ego, which arises as “I” in conjunction
with the Body's physical form, is synonymous with a new Existence in the
luminous firmament of the Supreme, free of the embodied Mind's forgetfulness of
the Self.
The Ego self is like a poison which has its origin in &
thrives upon a fundamental misapprehension. Here in the World it is an enemy masquerading
as a friend & you should root up & cast out every last vestige of it.
Allow Reality to shine as it truly is without any obstacle
whatsoever by means of the destruction of the age-old deceit of the hostile Ego.
Wanting to rise above the commonsense outlook, just as we
cannot gauge the exact color of objects if we always wear tinted glasses, we
cannot know the true nature of our individual experience if we persist in
viewing it from the standpoint of Individuality. Thus the commonsense outlook
must be surpassed if we would understand our individual experience aright. Common Sense, in truth, is synonymous with
Ignorance: & Ignorance breeds doubt.
As a practical measure, therefore, we would do well to seek the motive of every
philosophical question. If its purpose was to elicit an answer tending to
establish the validity of the Commonsense, Waking, point of view, we should
reconsider the whole problem from the standpoint of Consciousness. Then it can
be seen in its proper perspective, or else it may vanish.
Something in us is sure to set up a clamor of, " yes, but
. . .", "all the same . . .", & the rest. But that will not deter us. Our motive is the quest for Truth. There need be no Distinction between the
Mental & the Physical due to something. The something
is the Ego.
Waking experience, like the experience of Dreaming, is a
product of the Mind.. We have found that all Sense-objects, including our Body,
exist solely as Notions, in other words, that they exist only when thought of. Thus the distinction between Physical &
Mental objects is unreal. The difference lies, not in the nature of the
objects, but in the different quality, or intensity, of thoughts.
Some more selected verses from the Ramana Maharshi disciple Master Nome:
When you thoroughly recognize Ignorance as Ignorance, it is
no more for you. This recognition may
start with understanding, “This is not necessarily the Truth” or
“This is not the best that I know”
or
Look in this way, & there are no others. Look in this way, & there is no
separation between yourself & the true Self you are attempting to
realize. There is no difference between
the seeker & what is sought
This is just timeless Truth, eternal Truth, just one
Self. In experiencing Self-Knowledge,
there is no distinguishing between the knower & the known. There is no separate realizer & thing
realized, no knower & no known. It
is Self-Knowledge-of-oneself, one Self knowing oneself, one Self—not another.
It is Non-Dual. Experience this for
yourself by inquiring. When you inquire
deeply, the entire notion of differentiation is burnt up, is consumed, &
becomes absurd.
"I am the very Existence of all." Can you
understand it now? That which truly
exists, never ceases to be. That which truly is never changes. That which is Real, does not depend on
anything else to be or to be experienced.
This is Being.
Earnestness, Renunciation of Attachment, & introspection in the form
of Self-inquiry are what are necessary for Self-Realization. The Knowledge of the Self is the Knowledge of
all. As the dimension of depth of the
image in the mirror does not truly exist, so differentiation does not exist in
the one Self. The Ego is a false assumption
& nothing more. The Ego is a false
assumption assumed by no one. The
Eternal Silence of the Self is the Uncreate in which nothing has ever
occurred & in which nothing ever will occur.
Something else, be such called an "it" or
"this," & something else, be it called an individual
"I" or by some other name —any kind of something other—is just not
true. There is just one Self. Realizing this for yourself there is
Perfection. There is Peace. There is unflawed Happiness. This is just the honest Truth.
”I know something higher than this.” It
can he that simple.
