Turiyam, Turiyam

In Samsara, there is doing and not doing.

In Isvara is nondoing.

Turiyam.

Brahman is consciousness-existence.

Maya is the sword of Brahman.

Turiyam.







~rj35

Jijnasu Zen of Both and Neither

Consciousness-existence is the silver screen.

The mind is the movie. To be or not to be?

Am I the movie or the movie screen?

~rj34

Song of Isvara

Brahman lives at the crossroads of Saguna and Nirguna.

That Great Square where the power of Maya veils and unveils!

This is where the Gita and Mandukya coexist. Om.

~rj33

In the Dark Side of the Sun

1.

Consciousness-existence transcends space-time. 

It is one without a second and a second with no time.

It doesn't have a reason. It transcends all rhyme.

2.

I am of that order of the principle of existence. 

I know the ground of consciousness like the back of my mind.

I am here transcending space. I am right now beyond time.

~rj32

Ten Revelations

Seeing through a glass wall
isn't bad for the eyes.
There is no snake.
The rope is a vehicle.
That's Maya, Jack.
DNA is the stuff of karma.
Time is like a family tree.
Space is forgiveness.
The god of atheism is theism.
Atma of Brahma is Brahman.

~rj31

On High and Lo

The lower cause is transformational.

The higher cause is apparitional.

Thinking is the lower cause.

Pure consciousness is the highest.

Dreaming is the lowest state. 

Self-awareness is the highest.

~rj30

Aum/Ohm

In Maya, Brahman is two-faced. In reality, Brahman is one without a second.

Saguna Brahman and Nirguna Brahman are the two sides of That in nonduality.

The truth of Turiyam is beyond Brahman and Atman as quantum physics is to classical mechanics. 

~rj29

My Valentine's Day Ananda

Consciousness is the absolute truth.

Consciousness is such a hard problem thinks science.

Even the highest wave of consciousness studies can never know that sea.

I love I know I am.

~rj28~

Dreaming Brahman

Isvara is the lucid dreamer.

The jiva is the sleeping dreamee.

Wake unto Turiya, om.

Say Isvara

An individual is a component of the universal. Without the universal, there is no individual.

If a human individual possesses personality is that personality a component too?

Of a universal personality? Say Isvara? Let us pray.

~rj26

All Superimpositions Must Pass

One could say Brahman is smaller than a mustard seed and larger than the multiverse if Brahman didn't transcend space-time itself.

Brahman is, Gaudapada says, neither a seed of consciousness nor omniscient consciousness, neither unmanifested Maya nor that omnipotent Isvara.

Brahman is not reflected consciousness although reflected consciousness is Brahman. All brilliant names and shadowy forms appear in The Lake of Pure Consciousness. 

~rj25

Isvara Help

Scientific atheists of the west are between gods, Isvara help them.

Isvara is Brahman as seen from the point of view of Maya.

Maya is the snake in the rope, a desert mirage, fool's gold, Texas tea.

~rj24

God is a conscious being who must necessarily have all-knowledge and all power/skill to create, sustain and resolve the jagat. We will replace the word God, with the word Īśvara because it is an unabused Sanskrit word, so far. ~Dayananda

On God, The Universe, or Isvara

If there's an individual consciousness, there's a universal consciousness to deify.

Call it God, The Universe, or Isvara, simple acknowledgment is worship enough.

Denying this basic recognition is the height of self-deceit making real self-inquiry infeasible.

~rj23

It is true there is one Reality that appears as the universe, as the individualized knowing self, that appears as the Ruler of the universe. Yet, as long as you acknowledge one of these three, you have to acknowledge the other two also. ~Satprakashananda

Suite Shining Big-Sea-Water

By the Shore

As crow doesn't know the ways of people, people do not know the Way. Crow mind or human mind, it's all monkeystuff of Maya. Islands never know the sea of consciousness except upon the shore of intuition called Eka-atma-pratyaya-saram.

Crow and Calvin

As crow caws the cause of causelessness, Calvin preaches predestination. Either one's self-realized or one is sleeping. There are three states of sleeping including this waking one.

Koan 22

Ted Hughes wrote Crow. Sylvia Plath was his better half. The seventh mantra of the Mandukya Upanishad is my heart of Jesus. I can do the trinity in my sleep but the fourth is nondual, Gaudapada.

~rj 20-22 {sr1}

By the shore of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
At the doorway of his wigwam,
In the pleasant Summer morning,
Hiawatha stood and waited.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Peaks of A22-24

If the absence of duality is deep sleep, the presence of nonduality is enlightenment. 

Identifying with the body-mind is beginningless but peaks in neverending adolescence.

I minus original ignorance equals that minus conditional illusion. Tattvamasi speaks.

~rj19

The Desert Light (talking A22-4)

Pure Consciousness not only witnesses the duality of the dreaming states but the absence of duality in the deep sleep state.

There's a time for thinking you're the body-mind and a time for healing; there's a time for believing in a Santa Claus and a time for revelation.

Not a wave but the sea.
Not a snake but rope.
Not mirage but desert light.
Aham Brahmasmi.

Prayer for Saguna Brahman

If I Am is sat and I Know is cit,

I Love I Know I Am is ananda.

I am, I know, I love I know I am—

daily prayer for Saguna Brahman.
