[selections based on Master Nome’s Self-Knowledge]
The one, Absolute, Non-Dual
Self alone exists Eternally (from aeviternus, of great age, similar
to aeon, but more technically for Medieval Philosophers: existing “entire & immutable as an indivisible point in Space”).
The Self neither begins nor
ends, neither expands nor reduces, has no phase or condition, & is ever
just as it is. The Self alone is present always.
Knowledge of the Self is
based upon the seeker having a firm conviction in the Identity, or Non-Duality,
of That & thou as expressed in
the Upanishad mahavakya: “Thou art That.”
This reveals the Identity of Self & the Absolute (Brahman). When
seeking Realization of the Absolute, Brahman, seek to realize the
Self as it truly is. The Realization of
the Self is our only true, Natural State [Sahaja, "the Natural,
effortless Innate State. ]. Any
other state is Illusion (that which fools us) & the product of
Delusion (fooling ourselves). The ultimate nature of Illusion is
non-existence (that is, it does not really exist).
Ribhu Gita (Tamil) Ch 37:
(41)
All is the Supreme Brahman: there is no doubt of this.
I am indeed am That:
there is not a bit of doubt of this.
I say this in the name of the Supreme Lord of all the World.
What said is the Truth. There is no doubt of this.
Worthy son! therefore. being aware, with great certitude,
That all is ever Brahman alone, and I am That,
And thereby casting aside everything,
Abide as the pure Self alone.
(42)
All "appearances" (Individuals, etc.) that seem sentient (conscious)
Are but the Supreme Lord, which is Consciousness alone.
I am indeed the Lord which has nothing in the least to
learn,
I am indeed that Lord which has nothing apart.
By attaining the undivided Realization through such
practicable bhava (conviction),
And being rid of the Bondage of Birth-and-Death cycle,
Abide as the "Apex",
Your Self alone, not different from the Supreme Lord.
(43)
Thus have I described the Abidance in the undivided Self.
As expounded by our Lord.
Son ! If this is
heard just once or read
Without blemish as now told,
The undecaying State of Liberation
will result.
Is there any doubt that
Those who hear this or read this every day
Will attain the bondagelcss Supreme Liberation?
(44)
Only those who deeply inquire into
And contemplate upon
The nature of the perfectly full, undivided Supreme Lord
As the Substratum of all the numerous Names & Forms of
things
Will attain taintless, undivided Abidance in the: Self
And cross thc hard-to-cross Ocean of Birth & Death (re-incarnation).
None else can ever cross this Ocean
By any other action, all being tainted (by duality).
