MESSAGE FROM WAYNE

Hello my loves,


Seekers Prayer

Lord drain the Sea
Of me
That I may know what I am

They tell me I am You
But I can not see beyond the horizon
Of myself

Occasionally
I have had visions
Wonderful flowing ones
And I seem to Understand
Yet
Doubt always returns
Fueling
This nightmare
In which
I am
Limited
And alone
And unprepared to die

Lord drain the Sea
Of me
That I may finally live
As Peace

With love, 
Wayne

IT SO HAPPENED THAT

by
Ramesh S. Balsekar

 

The unique teaching of Ramesh S. Balsekar, his stories and anecdotes edited by Mary Ciofalo.

The daily talks with Ramesh S. Balsekar are an eloquent and delightful happening of the Teachings of pure Advaita (Non-duality). When the ego asks: How can the intellectual understanding which is a conceptual understanding become the truth for me?, Ramesh explains: "It can only be known from personal investigation and experience that no action is my action. The teaching can be of use only if it helps you to live your life in peace. Every conversation is new and fresh. Ramesh, a Master of Advaita, has been teaching for twenty years, sharing with seekers how a sage lives his life and pointing into Totality with stories and anecdotes from life as it happens. With laughter, Ramesh himself has said: "For those with an interest in the subject, it's the most beneficial entertainment in town."

A LIVING GEM FROM RAMESH (NEVER BEFORE BEEN PUBLISHED)

Whenever you look for a "self" apart from an experience, you cannot find it because it vanishes into the experience.  Take hearing as an experience.  If you close your eyes and analyze the process of hearing, what happens?  You hear all kinds of sounds floating around, but where is the hearer?  All you hear are the sounds.  You do not find the individual hearer, you cannot find the hearer, simply because there isn't any.  As one Zen Master spontaneously exclaimed upon his enlightenment: "When I heard the temple bell ring, suddenly there was no bell, no "me", only the ringing, only the ringing."  In other words, the hearer is not separate from the sound.  The same is true of the process of seeing, or smelling, or tasting.

 

WORDS FROM THE HEART
 

No words can show my gratitude towards you.

Finding you was a blessing. A blessing that opened wide my heart to finally find myself. Right there, where it had always been without knowing.

The search stopped completely and the doors of my heart opened to reveal a world in which everything was according to your will.

Tears welled up in the silence making this body bear witness to your absolute power. I surrender to you, I give myself to you, I dissolve in you. There’s no trace of any me anymore.

I disappear completely to appear in you, as it always was. Nothing could have been different. Everything was perfect from the begining and till the end.

Oh beloved, this is an absolute surrender. There is nothing to deliver anymore because everything belongs to you. Only the illusion remained and now it does not even reside. What's left of me? Nothing and everything. I died to be born in you. In your mantle is my life as it always was and as it always will be.

In totality you reveal yourself, what a blessing to find me and taste me. I am crazy with love, nothing contains me, I encompass everything. Nothing restricts me.

There’s nothing outside of me and I can only contemplate your existence, marvel at such a creation you made for me, for you.

There’s no enlightenment, no awakening, just the simple understanding that ends all duality. Simple Advaita. The simple understanding that destroys all traces of me so I can abide in you.

Blessed be your home that housed me as a guest without even knowing it. Now only you are left, there is nothing more than you. Look where I look there you are. Everything is made of you. I can no longer see anything but your face wherever I look.

This little me says goodbye, returning to dwell where it has always remained.

With love,
Happy Guru Purnima!
