Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi

Bliss is not added to your nature,
it is merely revealed
as you true and natural state,
eternal and imperishable.

You are really
the Infinite, Pure Being,
the Self Absolute.

The only way to be rid of your grief
is to know and be the Self.

Lead me from the unreal to the Real
Lead me from the darkness to the Light
Lead me from the temporary to the Eternal

Soul Work

I Dedicate Myself to the Lovework of the Soul:

Love, real love, brings out the best in us. When we are available to love and be loved, there is a fullness of being that leads us out beyond our self-centered concerns as we extend to embrace a wider and wider world.

What could be a better arena for this kind of soul work than relationship. The differences between two people, and the challenges they provide, compel us to consider the otherness of ourselves. They also offer an ongoing variety of experiences which lead us beyond what we could have ever imagined. When we take up our lovework, we give a gift of will and commitment to the soul which returns to us a connection to the infinite.

So, that is what your relationship offers--nothing less than a bridge from the infinite below to the infinite above, from what is within you that that which is around you, from the mundane to the sacred--from life to love to the Divine to source to God.

Relationship...was created as your perfect tool in the work of the soul.

Mask

MASK

I see you. Behind that mask...I know it's you.

Like characters in a pantomime or celebrating Mardi Gras, we all wear a mask. You don't know everything about the people closest to you, and so much less about people just outside your immediate circle - including colleagues and neighbors, and even some relatives.

And they know about as much about you, because the rest of the details are all hidden behind your mask.

The lighter your mask, the more open you are, the more fruitful your relationships will be. And the more risk of getting bruised. But without risk, there is no reward.

I am not going to ask you to remove your mask, as such a drastic move would be more traumatic than helpful. But I do ask you to find ways to make that mask lighter, to share more of yourself with more people, and to invite them to do the same. The more fruitful our relationships, the happier we are.

So let me see a little more of the you behind that mask.

Meet It Here - Now...

If objects have an independent existence,
i.e., if they exist anywhere apart from you,
then it may be possible for you to go away from them.

But they do not exist apart from you;
they owe their existence to you, to your thoughts.
So where can you go to escape them?

...Sri Ramana Maharshi


Don't run away...turn and face yourSELF everywhere.

Be in Love with...

I just fell in love with this quote from John Taylor:



"Be in Love with Knowing that you are going Home"
