Being


“It is indeed the mind that is the cause of men’s bondage and liberation. The mind that is attached to sense-objects leads to bondage, while dissociated from sense-objects it leads to liberation.” – Amrita-bindu Upanishad

“ Tranquil clarity devoid of mental turmoil is the samadhi which is essential for liberation. Therefore try earnestly to achieve peaceful consciousness, the clarity of heart, by destroying the mind. The state in which the unbroken experience of existence-consciousness is attained by the still mind alone is Samadhi.” Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharishi


Cleverness cannot save you ; throw away this mind and all its forms!
If you would end all suffering, be silent, be still.
In the cavern of the Heart, the Beloved dances in the bliss of infinite love.
Shining like a star in the void, that Light is the source of all that exists.

Strip away all attributes, all layers until you reach the core of Being.
This is the only reality: the ego sinks and dissolves in this sea.
Let everything go ; just rest in pure existence.
When the persona illusion disappears, the original mind is revealed in all its glory.

The world is a tapestry woven by the thread of consciousness.
This thread emerges from the Absolute as pure Being, the “I AM”.
Seize this thread and follow it to its source.
Dwell there always in perfect peace.

Being is enough: neither doing nor becoming is required.
What is, always is - you are already That.
Stay firmly poised in your own true nature.
Nothing more needs to be done.



“I AM can be spoken by no creature, but by God alone. I must become God and God must become me, so completely that we share the same ‘I’ eternally. Our truest ‘I’ is God.” Meister Eckhart
