Desire.

~~~~~~~~~Desire~~~~~~~
_______________________
***********************


If, even once only, it is clearly seen,
how desire torments, and how the
(apparent) sense of gratification that
follows its fulfilment, is only a false
respite, (because it lasts not), and is
mistaken as pleasure, achievement,
joy or success, one can free one-self
from the tyranny of  'Desire'.

~~~Five Stanzas To Arunachala~~~
_________________________________
*********************************
1.Ocean of Necter, Full of Grace, engulfing the universe,
 in Thy Splendour ! O Arunachala, the Supreme Itself !
Be Thou the Sun and open the lotus of my heart in Bliss !
2.O Arunachala! In Thee the picture of the universe is 
formed, has its stay, and is dissolved; this is the sublime
Truth. Thou art the Inner Self, Who dancest in the Heart 
as 'I'. 'Heart' is Thy name, O Lord !
3. He who turns inward with untroubled mind to search
where the consciousness of 'I' arises, realizes the Self, 
and dissolves in Thee O Arunachala ! Like a river when
it joins the ocean.
4.Abandoning the outer world, with mind and breath 
controlled, to meditate on Thee within, the Yogi sees Thy
Light, O Arunachala ! And finds his delight in Thee.
5.He who dedicates his mind to Thee, and seeing Thee,
always beholds the universe as Thy figure, he who at 
all times glorifies Thee and loves Thee as none other 
than the Self, he is the master without rival, being one
with Thee, and lost in Thy Bliss O Arunachala !

The 'Consciousness',
That exists,
Manifest or Hidden,,
-In Seed-form,

Prior to Creation,
-of World,
-Space and Time,
-Cosmos or Universe,
Exists / IS ever So.


The Shiva-Principle,
The 'Intelligence-Principle',
The 'Brahman',

''अविनाशी तु तद्विद्धि, येन सर्वमिदं ततं .
विनाशं अव्ययस्य अस्य न कश्चित् कर्त्तुं अर्हति ..

So, the Indestructible,
Is ever so,
Before, during, and after Creation,
-And likewise,
Before, During, and After,
- the Creation of Time and Space.
For, Time and Space is the brain-child,
-of Thought.


That emerges in 'Consciousness',
-Of A 'Conscious-Being'
The 'Purush'
-पुरुष .

Be it Shiva or Jeeva !


The beginning-less and the end-less,
Supports the innumerable persons,
And the innumerable persons owe,
- their apparent relative existence,
-in Time-Space continuum,
To That INDIVIDUAL,
Who enthuses in and through them,
The Light of 'Consciousness',
Who endows them with,
His own BEING / HIMSELF,
-The Individuality.


As The  'SUBJECTIVITY',
As the pure intelligence,
and,
-The 'Shakti',
As 'OBJECTIVITY'.
And the 'child' becomes,
-The 'person',
Who is an 'Individual' as 'subjectivity',
And a 'Body' as 'objectivity',

The 'Consciousness' embarks upon,
-A journey of 'Becoming'.
The 'Brahman' becomes the 'person',
And as the 'person',
-knows not oneself as the 'INDIVIDUAL' !

I am,


What you see in 'me'.

Or a compact structure made of these all.


-The Love,
-The Hatred,
-The agony,
-The ecstasy .
-The Life,
 -and the death.


Or simply, 


-The 'Self',


-'Brahman'.


-The ever-dancing Truth ,


In myriad colours, and shapes and shades.

-I am !

  Emotional exploitations are the worst kind
of human-relationships.
It ever deteriorates the quality of human-life
and destroys the one who exploits the other
along-with the one who is exploited.
Be it in the name of God, ideology, religion,
art, country, culture, caste, ideals or goals.
Love or ethics, duty, obligations, responsibility, sacrifice or compassion.

This 'Knowing',
The Consciousness,
That preceded the 'Creation',
That coincided with the 'Creation',
That survives the 'Creation',
Is Self-Evident.
Because,
If it did not exist before the 'Creation',
Who knows that ?
Who knows the not-knowing,
That is prior to 'Creation'?
And, 
Whatever was prior to the 'Creation',
That 'Knowing',
Which 'was' there,
No doubt 'Existed',
Though in some different way than,
-'Being' or 'Non-Being'.
Because what we know as 'Being',
Gets dissolved into 'Non-Being',
And a 'New-Being' comes into 'Being',
-From the 'Unknown'.
Which is just the 'Non-Being' for our mind.
Where-as,
In comparison,
The 'mind' itself fluctuates between,
'being' and 'non-being'
Don't we see every moment ?
So That,
-Which exists,
And knows its own existence,
Since time immemorial, 
IS .
Is Ever.
Is Ever the 'Knowing',
Free from the distinction of 
'Subjectivity',
And the 'Objectivity'.
Is Ever so,
' सत् '
'सत् -एव-सौम्य इदं अग्र आसीत्'
Individual,
'पुरुष '
'एव इदं सर्वं यद्भूतं यच्च भव्यं '......
इत्यादि  वचनै: इदं सर्वं-इति निर्दिष्टस्य
जगत: सच्छब्द-वाच्यो ब्रह्म-अपर-पर्याय:
पुरुष -एव उपादान-कारण-आख्य- सद्वस्तु.
इति.
तद्ब्रह्म चैतन्य-तत्त्वं .
That Individual,
Consciousness,
Conscious-Being,
-'Purush'.
Is Sat-Asat-Vilakshana:.
Beyond 'being', and 'non-being'.
Ever the 'pure-Knowing', only.
Ever so.
'Consciosness'.
-EVER.

It is the Womb,
-Where everything is hidden,
Manifest and Unmanifest.
It is,
-Where 'Time' and 'Space'
Take form and substance.
It is the 'Kalpa',
'कल्प ',
-Where ''Intellect'' stirs,
And yet this ''Consciousness''
-Stirs not !
A ripple,
Becomes a Tsunami ,
A Tide,
And Inundates the Consciousness,
Floods the Cosmic Mind.
The Creation thus vibrates,
-Oscillates,
-Pulsates,
Between 'Being' and 'Non-Being'.
One knows not,
If it is day or night.
But the 'knowing' is the ground eternal,
Beyond all doubt.
And Its Movement :
Mo,
Which creates an apparent
-MO-MENT,
-MO-TIVE,
-MO-VE,
-MO-TION.
And 'Time',
Comes into Being.
Though it never existed !
See the miracle,
And hold your breath.
For Breathing-in and breathing-out,
Traps one in the realm of 'Being'and 'Non-Being'.
And You Start wondering,
When this all happened.
This 'Kalpa',
'कल्प',
It never started,
It'd never end.
The MO-MENT is Single, Indivisible, Compact,
Individual,
And seems extended beyond frontiers of Time.
Its all, -
THE GREAT ILLUSION,
MAYA, 
PRAPANCHA.
'मोह',
'माया',
'प्रपंच' !
The Great Deluge,
Causes delusion.
and you are deluded.
"You"-Who ?
The pure Knowing,
Without a 'knower',
Without the 'known',
The Individual.
For in Pure Being,
And in pure 'Knowing',
The line of demarcation ,
EXISTS NOT !
It never existed !
The Consciousness,
Without a sense of subjectivity,
and objectivity,
Sports like that.


EVER.

I,
How-ever see,
Rather
-Know,
The only One Cause.
-The Supreme,
-The Ultimate,
-The Prime,
-The Primal,
-The Evident,
-The All-pervading,
-The All-permeating,
Where-in, and where-from everything originates,
-Takes place, happens,
-And 'dissolved',
-For ever,
-As if, Nothing ever happened !
To manifest again,
In an altogether 'NEW'-Appearance,
This play of changing phenomenon,
Shows again and again,
And every moment, in fact !!
-Everlastingly.
Generated, Operated, and Dissolved,
-Incessantly .
Is That God ?
-I wonder.
Some-one has tried to formulate in this name,
: An Acronym !
But the word is not the thing.
'Cause,
A 'thing' exists in 'Consciousness'.
-And this primal Cause, is the source and
-The substratum !
Who can know It ?
For It knows everything,
-Including the 'knowing' too.
I remember Rig-Veda, 10/129,

''नासदासीन्नो  सदासीत्तदानीं  .....
... ... ... 
वेद  यदि वा न वेद .....''


'' na-asat-aaseet-n-u-sad-aaseet-tadaaneen ......
... ... ... 
veda-yadi waa na-veda. ... ""


It has been there,
It is here,
It is now,
It is ever,
-The same.
It can not be pointed-out,
'Cause,
The one who points-out,
Is there,
Within It !

Causes. Part-1.

~~~~~Cause and Effect ~~~~~
_____________________________
*****************************


My friends,
They believe in cause and effect.
I too believe,
But I don't see that I can know all of those,
Innumerable Causes,
That make an event.
And so we are motivated,
To 'do' something,
-Which may give us joy and success.
-Which may make us a happier lot.
As a human-being,
Or, as the IDENTITY,
-We take as ourself.
-A society, 
-A Nation,
-Or a mere notion.
-A follower of some :
-Religion,
-Belief,
-Faith,
-Fear,
-Ideology,
-philosophy,
-idealism,
-Culture,
-Language,
-A male or A female,
-Any particular group of people,
-Along the motives,
That are :
-'Human',
-Utilitarian,
-Social,
-Ethical,
-Psychological,
-Rational,
-Irrational,
-Occult mystical, or Esoteric.
-Divine, Godly, or worldly.


Formed on the basis of 'Thought',
These are the 'Causes',
And we strongly and ardently work hard,
For achieving The goals.
Unfortunately,
We don't see,
That such many a different Thoughts,
-Are at logger-heads with each-other.
Different shades of 'Thought',
Colouring the pure consciousness,
Of Being, what we are !
Thought formulates in an instant,
In a fraction of a second,
A new Identity for us.
And the simple consciousness of 'Being',
Gets,
-Covered-up under this new recognition,
-of ours'.
Then it never occurs to us,
That we are driven by 'Thought',
That is carrying us into a 'Utopia',
-of our own making.
And the 'Consciousness of Just Being',
Is lost underneath.


They are busy.
May (be) they succeed some day .

The Flame of Attention.

Consciousness : The ever-reminding message from The Source. 

"एकं-अक्षरं हृदि निरन्तरं

भासते स्वयं लिख्यते कथं ?"

"One indestructible alone lives in the Heart.

It ever shines, and everyone naturally knows It, but realizes It not.

How to write down That indestructible Letter ?

That is almost impossible !!"

It means a sole letter eternally and constantly pulsates in the Heart.

It emits Light, and one is ever protected by this Light.

It is the  'Conscious-Light', It is The Colour and Radiance.

The God,

And It is The Father/Mother,

And The child.

The Love of God.

It is the Sound, It is The Music.

It is the Harmony and It is The Peace and Joy Uninterrupted.

It is The Being, and Knowing. (Sat and Chit, सत् + चित् )

It manifests Itself as the World and the 'Becoming' (The person, soul, spirit).

It knows Itself,

But the person thinks oneself distinct from The world and forgets It.

But It keeps showering Its Grace and Love,

Protection and Care, to the son/daughter.

Which is but a shadow,

One of innumerable shadows.

And The shadows never exist,

Though they appear to live.

Nothing is lost.

Love prevails.

It is eternal.
