Yeah, that's true too.


The universe (including ourselves) are also made up of sound and vibrations. The same, at a certain point, turns to light and silence and all thoughts subside.

Hmm...interesting. This happens in true meditation I think.

We cannot achieve true meditation without first going through the basic steps of self improvement and some discipline; this is mainly to calm the mind and stop it from being a nuisance.
Some find it very easy due to past life efforts.
Unlike what Nisargadatta Maharaj ji said:
When effort is needed effort will appear, things happen by itself just like the child grows up to be a man. Our real self the awareness, never changes. It is only the self consciousness or the individual ego that realizes it's true nature, like waking up from a dream.


It is always useful to read the works of realized souls.Edited by Summer3 - 12 years ago

Yeah, even in our faith it's written that everything will happen at the right time, and your Guru will call you when the time is right. I believe this too.

Yes it is true but that does not mean we do not make some effort too. Everything does have a right time and place but that does not mean we take things for granted.
The Guru appears at the right time, actually the Guru is there all the time. It just so happens that we are not aware of His presense. As we see things better we realise that the Guru was always with us.

Intellectually most of us know the Truth but somehow we are quite not able to click. Some may have gotten a glimpse but were again swallowed by Maya.😆

Yeah, Mann, Maya, Kaal...all these things prevent us from knowing Truth.

Yes this dream looks very real but does not last as it is subject to time and other limitations.
We should try to wake up from this dream of life.
But the Bhakta does not care and sees the Lord in all.

Well, we have to live this life as it is in order to grow. We just cannot avoid responsibilities and duties thinking this is all a dream.
