A wonderful read, should make you see cracks in your beliefs, your ideologies, your pride, your casteist, religious and nationalistic identities & everything that u consider as to be yourself.

The only revolution there is, all other revolution will merely make room in the psychological prison one lives.

You should think about your own death three times per day at the very least.

There is no special state to attain. Presence is not an achievement. It’s what remains when you stop running, stop fixing, and simply allow everything to be as it is.

[Hesse Philosophy @HermannHessed]

“Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day when one’s body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the death of one’s master. And every day without fail one should consider himself as dead”

― Yamamoto Tsunetomo

Bhagavan AND The Maharaja:

Today, 4th June, is the birth anniversary of an enlightened and progressive king of Mysore, Krishnarajendra Wodeyar (b.1884). His reign from 1919 to 1940 saw much progress economically and culturally in Mysore. A rare story, not known to many, here. Have posted this thrice before, but now, again.
...................
The then Maharaja of Mysore, Krishnaraja Wodeyar came to Tiruvannamalai on 28th February 1937 for the specific purpose of having darshan of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi. He came with a lot of offerings, two finely made shawls, specially made sweets etc. The Maharaja asked that his car be parked at a distance. When told that the car could enter the Ramanasramam premises, the Maharaja said, "No, when we go to have darshan of the Maharshi we have to walk".

The car was parked about a furlong from the ashram near the Agni Teertham. Krishnaraja and his retinue walked to the ashram. He asked for a private audience with Bhagavan, which the latter never gave to anyone. Anyone could enter and sit in the Old Hall before Bhagavan. But, the Maharaja insisted that he had to see Bhagavan privately. Bhagavan agreed and said that the former could meet him in the then newly built bathroom which was the only place he would be alone.

Krishnaraja Wodeyar went inside the bathroom at around 9-15 in the morning, and told Bhagavan, "They have made me a king, thus robbing me of the opportunity to sit at your feet and serve you. This is my fate. I have read your life and long had a desire to meet you, but my circumstances are such that intentions of this kind cannot easily be carried into effect. Nor can I stay here as other disciples can, considering all my limitations. While I remain here for about 15 minutes, I can now only pray for your grace.”

Then with tears copiously flowing from his eyes, the Maharaja fell at Bhagavan's feet, caught hold of them and remained in that position for some time. It is said that the Maharaja's tears actually wet Bhagavan's feet.

The Mysore Maharaja then bid a tearful farewell to Bhagavan and the ashram.

Later that day in the Old Hall, answering a devotee’s query about the Maharaja’s visit, Bhagavan said, "ஒரு மஹாராஜா, அவருக்கு உள்ள இவ்வளவு இருக்கு, பழுத்த பழம்". Meaning, "Though a king, he has so much of depth in him. He is a ripe fruit".

It is all shiva’s doing Nothing in this entire existence moves without his will, not even a leaf…The great beauty of the earth, the magnificent Himalayas…the flowers…the thorns,
The thorns may think they r functioning out of their own will, but they as well are limbs of Shiva

@anjaneyasevak Sir who is this “you” that you’re referring to? And whatever one asks don’t you think all of it will eventually end in sorrow ?

@light_bex @AA_Gabriel1111 How the kinds like you have become so blind, what have you done with yourselves

[ziG @Zigzag3108]

@light_bex @AA_Gabriel1111 Living in a palace, had to leave his place because a tyrant government(china) got in his house, whom will he go to seek for help? You? Or use the logic that enemy of enemy is friend ?

@Neel_2014 @BjornQuixote If we are going to trace the lineage and all why not trace it back to monkeys (even further then that a single cell)
They are the real forefathers, aren’t they?
Why only keep what gives one pleasure why not go to the root of it ?
