Bodhisattva Manjushri

4 Comments

The Bodhisattva Manjushri is shown with a sword known as “the sword of discrimination.” Discrimination has to do with discriminating between the mortal and the eternal. The mortal is that which you see. When you see yourself in the mirror, that is the mortal. The eternal is that which you are. So, discri inating in your life between the eternal and the mortal is the essence of this figure.

The sword is usually

a benevolent instrument

which clears the way.

When you are desiring things and fearing things, that’s mortality. The three temptations of the Buddha -desire, fear, and duty-are what hold you in the field of time. When you put the hermetic seal around your- self and, by discriminating between the mortal and the enduring, you find that still place within yourself that does not change, that’s when you’ve achieved nirvana. That still point is the firmly burning flame that is not rippled by any wind.

When you find that burning flame within yourself, action becomes facilitated in athletics, in playing a m sical piece on the piano, or in performance of any kind.. If you can hold to that still place within yourself while engaged in the field, your performance will be masterly. That’s what the Samurai does. And the real athlete.

Watch a professional marathon runner: he is not concerned with his showing the way somebody who is running his first race is. You win, you lose, you run the race. The race is what counts, not the winning or the losing. Running the marathon is itself the event.Everybody wins.

Whether you win or place is a secondary matter.This is the participation without engagement.

But if you loose that still point ,you are in the world.If for example, you go into the race , thinking you are going to have win,and you are concerned that you don’t have the capacity to do so.then you won’t be participating in the marathon.

Nietzsche says one must act with only three-quarters of one’s power. That’s the discrimination.

Anything you do has a still point. When you are in that still point, you can perform maximally.

Where are you between two thoughts? If you iden- tify yourself with certain actions, certain achievements and failures, those are thoughts. That’s you in the field of time and experience. Where are you otherwise?

If it weren’t difficult to get to that still point, there wouldn’t have to be so much talk about it and all this sitting in postures trying to get there. And then, when you get up from the posture, you are right back where you were. So, you go back to the posture to see if you can get there again. It’s not easy; yet, it’s very easy. It’s like riding a bicycle: you keep falling off until how to ride, and then you can’t fall off. you know

It’s a perspective problem. Running through the field of time is this energy which is the one energy that is putting itself into all these forms. By identifying with that one energy, you are at the same time indentified with the forms coming and going. If you see the two modes-involvement and the still point within you, samsara and nirvana-as separate from each other, you are in a dualistic position. But when you realize that the two are one, you can hold to your still point while engaging.

It’s the same world experienced in two different

ways. You can experience both ways at once. Sri Ramkrishna was devoted to the Goddess Kali. Kali, the word means “black” and also “time,” is that black abyss of mystery out of which all things come and back into which they go. That’s Kali. Her principle image is that of dancing in the burning ground, the place pposites, beyond twoness. He where corpses are burned. This is dissolution. She is dancing on the body of her god, Shiva, her husband. Your god is the final obstacle to get past.

Any idea, any concept, any name, is a final obstacle. The one preached in the church in any religion is the final obstacle. The only Western teacher I have found who gets it is Meister Eckhart, who says, “The ultimate leave-taking is the leaving of God for God.” All of our religions hang onto the image. None has god. The still point is going past the god. Goethe says, gone past its “Everything temporal is but a symbol.”110 Nietzsche says, “Everything eternal is but a metaphor.” They are saying the same thing. “Everything” includes God, heaven, hell, the whole works. So as long as you are living to get to heaven, you won’t find that still place.

One has to go beyond the pairs of opposites to find the real source.

How to find your beloved one who died?

No Comments

Look at the moon.
The moon shades its skin to be born again.
Just like a snake shades its skin to be born again.

Moon power is associated with the life energy pouring within you.
The Moon does not illuminate itself but with the help of the sun’s power.In the same way, your body is not the source of energy,but the vehicle of energy.
The energy which is pouring within you for the time of your life cycle as a moon cycle.

Throughout the month, the moon dies and resurrects..
But there is a time when the moon isn’t shown.
Not even in the full form.
Not even in the arc form .
totally vanished.

What do you think.?
The moon does not exist now.
Not at all.
you know that the moon still exists.
but not in your space -time.
it does exist.
It exists beyond your space-time.
And you definitely know that there is a dimension, from there,we can still see the moon.

Likewise,when someone dies.It does not mean he/she doesn’t exist.
There is still a dimension,from where we can see and experience the existence of that person.
Now that dimension is within you.
your beloved one now belongs to you.
Now that person exists within you.
you have to look at that dimension.

Just look around you.
every thing which was made up by humans,but comes before in the human mind,like home,road or anything you see,
What does it mean ?
It means,your thoughts are energy,it’s not an illusion,
Your thoughts and memories are as real as this world.
Your inner world and outer world are the same,they come from the same source in different aspects.
Let me tell you one thing: Sometimes your mind is rippling and smashing with lots of thoughts,in that time you should try some ritual i suggest,
Fix all your rooms with proper arrangements,all the books ,pens and documents on its places.
Your mind will be settled as your premises are settled.
Every thing which was made was a thought in its initial phase,then those were manifest in the outer World.
An introvert is desperately involved in their inner world ,So he thinks that my inner world is my fantasy,it’s not real ,it’s an illusion,So he always feels discomfort with people,but this is not the way he thinks.

So
your beloved one is existing within you in the thoughts and memories form.
you have to look at that dimension.

Find your own inner being.

Just like Jesus.

Jesus and father are one.

When you realise this mystical experience.you don’t need to believe it but you know that very well.

So,this is a task to get the sacred manner to see.

Find your own sacred place into the field of duality,find your own centre.

Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.

My sacred place is where I open my favourite book with a long holiday,this place could be anywhere,and no one there to disturb me for a long time.but if this premises and circumstances are not fulfilled,then ,I actually entered in Wasteland,

Joseph compbell said__

Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again. You really don’t have a sacred space, a rescue land, until you find somewhere to be that’s not a wasteland, some field of action where there is a spring of ambrosia—a joy that comes from inside, not something external that puts joy into you—a place that lets you experience your own will and your own intention and your own wish so that, in small, the Kingdom is there. I think everybody, whether they know it or not, is in need of such a place. ~Joseph Campbell.

IN N Mark 13, Jesus says that the end of the world is going to come, and he describes it as a terrible crisis of fire and all kinds of other horrors. So, according to the teachings of the Catholic church, it’s going to be a concrete historical event. And in Mark 13:30, Jesus says, “Amen I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all these things have been accomplished.” But that generation did pass away, and the end of the world didn’t come, so it’s often called “the great nonevent.” It didn’t happen. So then the Catholic church said that when Jesus used the words “this generation,” what he meant was the generation of mankind, and so this

event is yet going to happen. In the Thomas Gospel, on the other hand, when the apostles ask, “When will the Kingdom come?”-Jesus says, “The Kingdom will not come by expectation. They will not say ‘see here, see there.’ The Kingdom of the Father is spread upon the earth, and men do not see it.” That’s Gnosticism.

Work begins when you don’t like what you are doing.

Mystery of pyramid

No Comments

In Egypt: After the annual flood of the Nile begins to sink down,the first hillock is symbolic of the reborn world.

Look at the pyramid on the left.A pyramid has four sides.There are four points of compass.
There is somebody at this point.,there is somebody at that point.when you are down on the lower levels of this pyramid, you will be either on one side or another side,but when you get up to the top,the point all comes together,and their eyes of Gods opens.

If you look behind that pyramid,you see a desert .
if you look before it.you see plants growing.

Creation-Died and resurrection.
That’s the sense of that part of the pyramid.

Now look at the right side of the dollar bill. Here’s the eagle, the bird of Zeus. The eagle is the downcoming of the god into the field of time. The bird is the incarnation principle of the deity. This is the bald eagle, the American eagle. This is the American counterpart of the eagle of the highest god, Zeus.

He comes down, descending into the world of the pairs of opposites, the field of action. One mode of action is war and the other is peace. So in one of his feet the eagle holds thirteen arrows-that’s the principle of war. In the other he holds a laurel leaf with thirteen leaves-that is the principle of peaceful conversation. The eagle is looking in the direction of the laurel. That is the way these idealists who founded our country would wish us to be looking-diplomatic relationships and so forth. But thank God he’s got the arrows in the other foot, in case this doesn’t work.

Now, what does the eagle represent? He represents what is indicated in this radiant sign above his head. I was lecturing once at the Foreign Service Institute in Washington on Hindu mythology, sociology, and politics. There’s a saying in the Hindu book of politics that the ruler must hold in one hand the weapon of war, the big stick, and in the other the peaceful sound of the song of cooperative action.

All religions have one side of the pyramid
referring to the point where all sides meet.

What is marriage ?

No Comments

Marriage is a relationship. When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you’re sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship. The Chinese image of the Tao, with the dark and light interacting-that’s the relationship of yang and yin, male and female, which is what a marriage is. And that’s what you have become when you have married. You’re no longer this one alone; your identity is in a relationship. Marriage is not a simple love affair, it’s an ordeal, and the ordeal is the sacrifice of ego to a relationship in which two have become one.There are two completely different stages of marriage.First is the youthful marriage following the wonderful impulse that nature has given us in the interplay of the sexes biologically in order to produce children.But there comes a time when the child graduates from the family and the couple is left.
Now,they interpret their union in terms of their relationship through a child.
They did not interpret it in terms of their own personal relationship to each other.Second stage of marriage (Alchemical stage):At this level,two are experiencing that they are one.If they are still living as they were in the primary stage of marriage,they will go apart when their children leave.
Daddy will fall in love with some little nubile girl and run off and mother will be left with an empty house and heart, and will have to work it out on her own,in her own way.
That’s because you don’t make a commitment.If you go into marriage with a program, you will find that it won’t work.Successful marriage is leading innovative lives together, being open, non-programmed. It’s a free fall: how you handle each new thing as it comes along.As a drop of oil on the sea, you must float, using intellect and compassion to ride the waves.
