Wisdom of the soul

The only thing that matters in life is your own opinion of yourself. It is what you think about yourself.

There are no other temples in the world except our body.

The moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful. Whenever you hate yourself, you will be born a sewer.
Heart is like a flower. If it is not open, it cannot smell its fragrance and release it into the world. But if Vizhimalar (eye) is closed, what you get is witchcraft.

Is there life after death? Isn’t it? is not a real question. Are you alive before death? Isn’t it? That is the real question.
No one can destroy you but yourself; No one can save you but yourself. It is you who Ettappan ; Kattabomman is also you.
Your honesty, your love, your compassion should come from your heart, not from teachings and scriptures.
Don’t sacrifice your life for anything, sacrifice everything for life, life is the ultimate goal.

Don’t be angry with life. Life doesn’t cheat you, you don’t listen to life.

The biggest fear in this world is the opinions of others. The moment you stop fearing the crowd you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar rises in your heart, the roar of freedom.

Listen to your heart. That is your only teacher. Listen to your life and that is your Guru.
Fear comes from the mind, love comes from your heart, so always listen to your heart.

The moment a child is born, a mother is also born. She had never been before. The girl was there, but the mother never was. A mother is completely new.

Get out of your head and into your heart. Think less, feel more. Be careful.

In love the other person is important, in lust you are important. Your life is important in wisdom.

Expectations always lead to disappointment. Expectations are the seeds, and expectations are the crops you must harvest sooner or later.
Love is the first step towards divinity, surrender is the final step. Two more steps are the whole journey.

A certain amount of darkness is necessary to see the stars.

Find the light and it will show you the way. Only the path shown by your own light is the right path.
Fighting with anyone is very dangerous because you become like your enemy.

Don’t say this is good and that is bad. Abandon all discrimination. Accept everything as it is.
Comparison is a very foolish approach because every person is unique and incomparable. Once this understanding is established in you, jealousy will disappear.

Is it something separate from you that you seek? You can look for something separated from you. But how can you go and seek out something that is yourself? You cannot seek your own self as everything else is sought. Because in this matter there is no difference between the seeker and the sought. You can search out the world and its contents if you want.

But you cannot look for yourself outside. He who seeks out what is his inner self, goes far away from the truth of his self. It is important to fully understand this fact. Only then is search possible.

If you want material things in this world, you have to seek them in the outer world. But if you want to find out who you are, you have to leave it all alone and become self-contained, undisturbed, unruffled and unruffled. The true reality of what you are can only be seen in complete silence and in the empty state of nothingness. Let’s remember.

Running for money is also desire; The desire is also to sit down for meditation and penance.

It is also a desire to cling to the world for position and glory; It is also a desire to leave the world to realize the Lord.
Whether it is for sensuality or for the bliss of wisdom, for whatever reason, there is no difference between desire. Everything is desire. Any desire is greed. Desire is attachment; captive animal; Bond.

When we understand what craving is, we are freed from craving. Because this understanding reveals to him the painful nature of desire. Freedom from pain is to understand what pain is. No one wants to inflict pain after experiencing it.
Then, in that moment without desire, in that moment when thought is not disturbed by desire, in that moment when you are not seeking anything, in that supreme moment, in that calm, deep, silent state of mind, you will officially experience who you are. When desire disappears within you, your soul blossoms and blossoms.

Wisdom is an awareness without content. void. empty Wisdom is an empty concept. Pure wisdom. A sense of holiness. In this moment of quiet stillness, the door to truth opens. Truth is realized only in the intellect which becomes empty. As a result one’s entire life is transformed.
One attains this state of emptiness, this experience of wisdom, through meditation and penance. But what is commonly understood as penance is not really penance. That too is a form of thinking. That thought may be a narcissistic thought, involving the soul or God. Even so, it is thought. Thinking about something is not a goal. In other words, the basic quality of thought is external.

It stands in contact with that which is not self-existent. There can be no thought, thought, prajna (consciousness) about the self. Because thinking requires two things to take place. One – you who think. Two – what you think. Thus thought has a dual nature.
This is why thinking will never lead you beyond duality to the oneness of the sovereign soul that stands alone as one. If you want to fall inwardly, go deep, and know the non-dual soul, there is no way but penance, no contemplation.

Contemplation and penance go in completely opposite directions. One is depending on the outside world. The other is to go deeper into the mind. The way to understand what the other is, thinking, the way to know the self – the soul – is what it is, penance. But generally thinking, deep thinking, this is considered penance. Penance is to remain in a state of doing nothing. Penance is not doing something. It’s getting stuck in a position like a nail. Penance is to go and stay in one’s soul.

We interact with the outside world through our various activities. Through non-action, we connect with our own self. We understand who we are in a state of doing nothing.
On the contrary, when we are digging our noses into all sorts of things, we lose the opportunity to meet our own Self. We forget that we even exist.

Our jobs and runs for them are very long. Our body can rest if it wants. But our thinking and intellect never rest. When we are awake we think. We dream when we sleep. As we constantly do this, we critically forget who we are. In the midst of our daily activities, we lose track of who we are. What an inexplicable surprise this is.

But this is the reality. We are lost. Not in a big festival crowd. We are lost within ourselves with our own thoughts, our dreams, our daily tasks and activities.

Penance is the only way to excavate ourselves and understand ourselves from this wandering in the mind and from this jam that we have created.
Penance cannot be an event. Such is its nature. It is not a hectic job. Tavama refers to the mind that is not surrounded by any thoughts. We have to get used to doing nothing.

The word penance means to do something. But penance does not mean doing anything. It is wrong to say ‘we were doing penance’. ‘I was in penance’ is the correct word.

Penance is like love. One can be in love, one can be in love. He cannot do love. He cannot do love and mercy. This is why I say penance is a station of the intellect – a platform.

We are not gathered here in Gurukul to do something. On the contrary, it is the realm of the intellect, where there is only the holy flame of the soul, to simply go and sit and experience it as it is, on a supreme plane without any movements, where nothing less pure can enter. This is the platform where even the thought of ‘I am one’ disappears. Only the soul remains, the ‘I’ is the dissolved divine realm.

This is witchcraft, the void. Here we do not see the world on which we depend. We see the truth. It is in this void, in the black hole of this eyeball, that the barrier that has kept you from knowing who you are crumbles away. Wisdom rises in you like a ray of youth. This is the wise view.
Penance is doing nothing. Doing is what we do when we want to do it. Leaving it if you don’t want to do it. But it does not belong to the nature of self. It is neither doing nor leaving it undone.

Let’s take seeing and hearing for example. Both are our natures. Even if we do nothing, these two will be there. These two natures of our Self are constantly within us. Self-nature is what is permanently and unceasingly within us.

This self-nature is not our creation. This is our foundation. Our foundation. This is us. We do not create this. So we stand. That is why we call this that which sustains us, Dharma. Dharma means self nature. The nature of self. Dharma means the existence of truth, the soul.

Just as this ceaseless self-nature of ours is compressed by our incessant activities here and there, we are covered by our activities, just as the sun is covered by clouds. These actions, layered on top of each other on the surface, hide the deep soul.

The penniless waves hide the hidden secrets of the incomparable ocean. It is a strange and unfathomable enigma that the uncontaminated Lord is enfolded by our useless activities, and that a speck of dust in the eye hides the mountains.

But oceans do not dry up because of waves. In other words, the same life that exists in the waves exists at the bottom of the ocean. The enlightened will recognize the ocean even in the waves. Others, however, wait for the tide to recede. They can only see the calmness of the ocean after the waves have subsided. When do tides recede? When will they attain enlightenment?

Thus, our self-nature is ‘pure knowing’, devoid of emotion, meekness and compassion, without temptation. We have to jump into self-nature. We should not worry about the waves and jump into the sea. Where is the self within us? Where is our soul within the head? Where is the Lord frozen within? We have to go to its depth to see that.

This waveless and free of temptations is always present in us. But we are not there and are somewhere. We turn away from it and stand in the opposite direction. We are looking outside. We take care of the world and the things of the world. But remember one thing. We see.
Whatever is seen is the world. But there is no world that one is looking at from the inside. That is the soul that is our Self.
If the act of seeing is identified with the object we are looking at, then that is thought. But if the act of seeing is turned towards that expanse which is not related to the object seen, that is penance.

Seeing also involves thinking. It also takes place in penance. But the former is dependent on the object and the latter is not. But whether we are thinking or in the ascetic world. Whether engaged in actions or freed from them.

‘Seeing’ is permanent. If we are awake we see the world. When we sleep, we dream. In penance we see our own soul. But in all three ‘seeing’ takes place permanently. ‘Seeing’ is permanent, unceasing. This is the nature of our soul. In any case, it never went away. Therefore, in order to see ourselves, to know ourselves, to see our life, to see our living soul, and to see the God who is the light – flame – sodhi – arutperunjothi in life, we have to keep looking at the phenomenon of ‘seeing’, it has been taught in Bramagnana Gurukula education that we should keep looking. What to see? How to see? Why watch? The answer is hidden in Sarguru’s wisdom words.

By seeing us in this way, we can know who we are and see that life is the answer to the question of who are you, and we may be soaking in eternal bliss.
Let’s keep thinking; Let’s make a speech; Mix and chat.

May all beings live happily ever after!
