What we call the Antaryamin, or the Immanent Reality, is the Atman, the Self. When we say it is the Self, we mean it is Consciousness. We mean both things in the same sense. It is an awareness which cannot be the object of another awareness. Therefore, it is not capable of being seen. Adrsto drasta: This Reality is the unseen Seer of all beings. You cannot see it, but it sees you. It sees everyone, but no one can see it - adrsto drasta.

One stream of thought even describes Arunachala as a vortex and a portal into other realms - a gateway to the universe. Canadian national Richard Brodrick has been coming to Tiruvanamalai for the past 20 years.

This is your natural state, but what prevents what is there from expressing itself in its own way is your reaching out for something, trying to be something other than what you are. ... What is keeping you from being in your natural state? You are constantly moving away from yourself. You want to be happy, either permanently or at least for thi 2008-04-14 02:11:13 PDT http://technorati.com/search/acalayoga.blogspot.com/2008/04/u-g-krishnamurti-on-natural-state.html 4 6 http://acalayoga.blogspot.com/2008/04/where-did-you-enter.html http://acalayoga.blogspot.com/2008/04/where-did-you-enter.html Fri, 11 Apr 2008 08:17:07 -0700 I came across an interesting talk in Day by Day today. It is a clear "dvAram" reference. ;) Visitor: I am asked to find out the source of ‘I’, and in fact that is what I want to find out, but how can I? What is the source from which I came? Bhagavan: You came from the same source in which you were during sleep. Only during sleep you couldn’t know where you entered; that is why you must make the enquiry while waking. Some of us advised the visitor to read Who am I? and Ramana Gita and Bhagavan 2008-04-11 08:17:07 PDT http://technorati.com/search/acalayoga.blogspot.com/2008/04/where-did-you-enter.html 4 6 http://acalayoga.blogspot.com/2008/04/non-duality-and-action.html http://acalayoga.blogspot.com/2008/04/non-duality-and-action.html Sun, 06 Apr 2008 06:12:30 -0700 The truth of Non-Duality is to be only meditated upon by the mind; do not do any action from belief in Non-Duality; the idea of Non-Duality is fit to be cherished in respect of all things whatsoever, but not with respect to the Guru. (Guru Ramana Vachana Mala, 209) Sri K. Lakshmana Sarma's footnote to this verse notes that "the teaching that in the transcendental state, where the ego is not, there is only One Pure Consciousness, is given as an antidote to the superstition that duality is real, 2008-04-06 06:12:30 PDT http://technorati.com/search/acalayoga.blogspot.com/2008/04/non-duality-and-action.html 4 6 http://vinnycooch.blogspot.com/2008/01/freeing-ourselves.html http://vinnycooch.blogspot.com/2008/01/freeing-ourselves.html Wed, 09 Jan 2008 07:59:02 -0800 "We don't want to be free from fear. All that we want to do is to play games with it and talk about freeing ourselves from fear." (U.G. Krishnamurti) ...and the internet is bloomin' well filled with "talk about freeing ourselves."

"that seeing Brahman alone in everything and everywhere is jnanottara bhakti. With reference to this, Bhagavan said, “This is a matter of mere words, whether you call the stage of seeing only Brahman, jnanottara bhakti or bhakti-uttara jnana. In reality, saying ‘We must see Brahman in everything and everywhere’ is also not quite correct. Only that stage is final, where there is no seeing, where there is no time or space.

Right Awareness, self-surrender and Namaskar, all these three are one and the same. ||267|| Thus it is shown that God does not become an object of vision. Neither does He become an object of knowledge. As God does not become an object of vision, neither does He become an object of knowledge. Since He transcends the mind, the mind will know Him (if at all) only wrongly. ||268|| Since the Real Self, who is consciousness, 2007-12-29 06:15:51 PST http://technorati.com/search/acalayoga.blogspot.com/2007/12/real-self-can-never-become-object.html 4 6 http://talksandconversations.blogspot.com/2007/12/om-namo-bhagavate-sri-ramanaya-origins.html http://talksandconversations.blogspot.com/2007/12/om-namo-bhagavate-sri-ramanaya-origins.html Fri, 21 Dec 2007 08:17:37 -0800 ACALAYOGA: om namo bhagavate sri ramanaya - origins If ever you wondered where Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi's mantra came from the answer can be found at the above link.

It revolved around the usual rubbish about non-dual (advaita) experience. The combatant [for that is what he has become, a combatant against his own good sense] was obsessed with the idea of non-dual experience. He had read some new translation or other which suggested that vichara resulted in non-dual experience. Now it's fine to use an oxymoron as a rhetorical device. In such a case "non-dual experience" could be used to create an excellent rhetori 2007-12-21 02:41:59 PST http://technorati.com/search/talksandconversations.blogspot.com/2007/12/non-dual-experience.html 0 0 http://acalayoga.blogspot.com/2007/12/self-is-not-happiness.html http://acalayoga.blogspot.com/2007/12/self-is-not-happiness.html Mon, 10 Dec 2007 02:49:58 -0800 "Since there is no chance of the thought 'I am happy' arising in that State of Non-Duality, the Self transcends happiness; It is not something having the form of happiness." (Guru Ramana Vachana Mala 294; Sri Ramanasramam, 1998) In this regard, Sri K. Lakshmana Sarma notes that when the Self is described as blissful, bliss or as happiness, such a description is only tentative. When the sadhaka's mind matures s/he will understand that the Self is better described as 'being, in the state of tRpti 2007-12-10 02:49:58 PST http://technorati.com/search/acalayoga.blogspot.com/2007/12/self-is-not-happiness.html 4 6 http://acalayoga.blogspot.com/2007/12/ramana-maharshi-videos.html http://acalayoga.blogspot.com/2007/12/ramana-maharshi-videos.html Fri, 07 Dec 2007 06:21:49 -0800 Ramana Maharshi Videos from YouTube ramanamaharshi, acalayoga, atma vichara 2007-12-07 06:21:49 PST http://technorati.com/search/acalayoga.blogspot.com/2007/12/ramana-maharshi-videos.html 4 6 http://acalayoga.blogspot.com/2007/12/rock-and-roll-and-ramana-maharshi.html http://acalayoga.blogspot.com/2007/12/rock-and-roll-and-ramana-maharshi.html Tue, 04 Dec 2007 02:59:07 -0800 Joan Jett, of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, revealed an interesting reading list in an interview with Charlotte Cripps for Independent Online."I'm reading I Am That: Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj by Nisargadatta Maharaj.

It seems that Wikipedia has replaced the accepted name of Arunachala with the Tamil version Annamalai hill, at the top of the Arunachala entry. When you type in a Wikipedia search for "Arunachala" you will now be re-directed to "Annamalai Hill". However the url seems to remain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arunachala Why this was necessary, I have no idea. The article, at Wikipedia, remains very brief.

In this search one is not to seek for some transcendental "I-Absolute", but for the ego itself and the point where it arises.
