“That which is treasured by the great ones as the matchless rapture of Brahman is the bliss of peace, the limitless contentment. The kaivalya (oneness) that the jnanis experience and exult in as the bliss of the supreme state is peace alone.”
Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharishi
There is one treasure, one truth, one source and one goal.
Infinite love, eternal peace, ecstatic bliss - all in this one.
Why seek anywhere else?
Look in the place where you begin, look for the one who looks.
Dive deep into yourself, down into the core of being, deeper and deeper into the silence, the stillness that is experienced in sleep.
Like the pearl-diver searching the ocean bed, look for the bedrock of your own existence.
Suddenly, something awakens, something stirs -who is it that rises to meet you like a long-lost lover?
Embrace that One like the river embraces the ocean.
This is where you end and He begins.
This is perfect comfort, perfect rest, perfect joy.
This is how it feels to come home.
