Subject: [K-list] Self-Realization
From: Harsha
On 2002/11/02 09:30, Harsha posted thus to the K-list: Although much is written about Enlightenment and
mystical experiences and so forth, Self-Realization is
actually a simple thing.
As T.S. Eliot has said, and I paraphrase, we come back
to where we started and see it as if for the first
time. It is actually even more basic....It is a place,
when we recognize it, we see that we never even left
it, nor can we leave it to go elsewhere. Such is the
beauty of Sat-Chit-Ananda. It Knows It Self By It Self
and Through It Self.
Almost a quarter of a century ago, through the grace
of Bhagavan Ramana, I realized the nature of the Self.
I remember some of the thoughts which flashed in me
intuitively after the great recognition...."Of course,
of course, it is only me, what else, what else, what
else did I expect, what else could it have possibly
been!" Paradoxically, the obvious had become obvious.
On that day, I truly realized how ordinary I was in
every way and it filled my heart with gladness and
joy. And knowing my own Heart, and realizing that it
was the One Heart, all the scriptures made sense, and
all the teachings lost their hold. Over time, it
seemed like my heart was some leaky faucet that could
no longer be contained with love seeping out in
drips.... little drops, little drops, big drops......
If we see clearly with the mind, the nature of the
mind, we see that the ordinary mind is the Buddha
Mind.
So there is not much to do but to breathe in and
breathe out in gratitude, love, and awareness and go
about your daily life.
Love to all
Harsha
