Cultivating cosmic Love
“The unity of existence is the foundation of all ethical codes. Properly understood, it widens the bounds of charity beyond humanity to include the animal world as well. Self-love is the mainspring of man‘s action and the raison d'être of his love for others. We learn from Non-dualistic Vedanta that the true Self of man is the Self of all beings. Therefore, self-love finds its expression and …

"The only important things in life are the traces of love we leave behind when we leave." - Albert Schweitzer
Dear Friends
Advaita the non-dual path is not for everyone. In Advaita, there is no essential difference between God and man or anything else, but rather their essential identity. But who can accept this? This nondual-way, as my teacher said, is the final way, all other ways remain in duality and…

"Till you reach the state of Jnana and thus wake out of maya you must do social service by relieving suffering whenever you see it. But even then you must do it without ahankara, i.e., without the sense of 'I am the doer', but with the feeling 'I am the Lord's tool'. - Ramana Maharshi

First, Jnana should be developed through a deep stu…

"Much has been said of the loneliness of wisdom, and how much the Truth seeker becomes a pilgrim wandering from star to star. To the ignorant, the wise man is lonely because he abides in distant heights of the mind. But the wise man himself does not feel lonely. Wisdom brings him nearer to life; closer to the heart of the world than the foolish man can ever be. Bookishness may l…

In the same way, there is a very dire and demoniacal tradition called vendetta in a part of Italy called Sicily. If one member of a family has been injured or killed by a member of another family, the first family will not rest until they have taken revenge.…

🎄LOVE ALL; SERVE ALL; ALL IS ONE!🎄
“You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your Soul, and all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important:
‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” - Jesus Christ

As this body breathes, I connect with the Supreme Consciousness that exists in and as me.
This is the Silence at the end of Oum.
Absorption in this state exists in the Now.
There is no other; I am awake to I am.
From the depth of my heart, I offer gratitude for Self Realization.
Knowledge from this state removes attachments.
Nothing is mine. Nothing is mine.
I ask the grace of the Guru inside, to forgive mysel…

It lies at the root of all problems. It is a kind of skin that separates us from reality. The real is both inside and outside the skin, but the skin itself is no…

A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
