A 13-year-old innocent soul was brutally gangraped by 32 monsters in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan.

Kidnapped by an e-rickshaw driver, sold from one hotel to another, forced to drink alcohol to silence her cries- her childhood was mercilessly destroyed.

The little girl’s last words still echo: "वो सब चाहते हैं कि मैं मर जाऊँ..."
Her pain has shaken humanity to the core.

CM Bhajan Lal Sharma’s strong message: “No mercy for those who harm daughters.” Hotels demolished. 12 arrested.

I cannot show you God or enable you to see God because God is not an object that can be seen. God is the subject. He is the seer. Don't concern yourself with objects of senses. Find out who the seer is.

This is the difference between a civilisational state and an artificial jihadisr creation.

Pakistani Muslims called themselves descendants of Turks, Arabs but not Indians/Hindus.

Indonesia President Prabowo proudly admits that his DNA is Indian and his mother tongue is 50% Sanskrit.

No 'phull Turkish blood' drama.

"Sonia Gandhi always speaks for Gaza but why she is maintaining a selective silence over the demolition of a 125-year-old gurdwara in Pakistan?"

[Adi Shankara Quotes (आदि शंकराचार्य) @ShriAdiShankara]

Loud speech, profusion of words, and possessing skillfulness in expounding scriptures are merely for the enjoyment of the learned. They do not lead to liberation. #AdiShankaracharya #AdiShankara

Another major terror crackdown. Another reminder that the threat hasn't disappeared. The operation comes months after the ATS exposed an ricin-based terror plot involving a Hyderabad-based doctor and two associates. Terror networks don't pause. Awareness shouldn't either.

Even if one has attained Knowledge, one must still constantly practice God-Consciousness. Nangta used to say: 'What is the use of polishing the outside of a metal pot one day only? If you don't polish it regularly it will get tarnished again.' #RamkrishnaParamahamsa

Sandhya Mondal, mother of Baruipur rape-murder accused Prabhas Mondal, has refused to claim her son’s body after he was killed in a police encounter.

She declined to visit the hospital or take the body home, saying his death was the result of his own deeds.

India kept warning the Canadian and US authorities that Punjab-based gangs have infiltrated their countries. It kept pointing out how their support to Khalistanis as “FoE” would backfire. But they threw weight behind a clown. Now look who is the joker here 😑

THE GURU IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY:

Q: Sri Aurobindo and others refer to you as having had no Guru.

~ Ramana Maharshi:
It all depends on what you call a Guru. He need not be in a human form. Dattatreya had twenty-four Gurus including the five elements - earth, water, etc. Every object in this world was his Guru.

The Guru Is absolutely necessary. The Upanishads say that none but a Guru can take a man out of the jungle of intellect and sense perceptions. So there must be a Guru.

Q: I mean a human Guru - Maharshi did not have one.

~ Ramana Maharshi:
I might have had one at one time or other. But did I not sing hymns to Arunachala? What is a Guru? Guru is God or the Self.

First a man prays to God to fulfil his desires. A time comes when he will no more pray for the fulfillment of material desires but for God himself. God then appears to him in some form or other, human or non-human, to guide him to himself in answer to his prayer and according to his needs.

[The Still Point @thestillpoint_]

Right and wrong, pleasure and pain, exist in mind only. They are not your concern.

~ Ashtavakra Gita

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

The Self is the one reality that always exists and it is by its light all other things are seen. We forget it and concentrate on the appearances. We are so engrossed with the objects or appearances revealed by the light that we pay no attention to the light.

Ramana Maharshi

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

The self-inquiry 'Who am I?' does not wake you up. It is the silence after you say, 'Who am I?' and you keep still.

Journey Through the Upanishads: Katha Upanishad, Day 31

Yama said:

“There the sun does not shine.
Nor the moon, nor the stars.
Lightning does not illumine It.
How then could fire?
Everything shines only because It shines.
By Its light, all this is illumined.”

(Note: This verse is so central to Sanatana Dharma that it is chanted during the Aarti at the end of daily rituals, a reminder that even the sacred fire is illuminated by a higher light).

The Self-Luminous Reality:

The Upanishads are not speaking of physical light.
They are speaking of the light of consciousness (Chit).

In Advaita Vedanta, the Self is described as Swayam Prakasha (Self-luminous). You need a flashlight to see a chair in the dark, but you do not need a flashlight to see the sun. The sun reveals itself.

Likewise, consciousness does not need another consciousness to know it exists.

The sun reveals the world.
But who reveals the sun?
Your eyes perceive its light.
But who is aware of your seeing?

The sages point to something deeper than perception itself.
Without consciousness, there is no world to experience, no thought to think, no question to ask.

A note for modern readers:

When you enter a dark room, you switch on a lamp.
The lamp reveals the furniture.

But what reveals the lamp?
Not another lamp.
Awareness.

Everything you have ever known—
every sight,
every sound,
every memory,
every emotion—
has appeared in the light of consciousness.

Yet consciousness itself is never seen as an object.
It is the silent light behind every experience.

The Katha Upanishad teaches:

We spend our lives searching for light outside ourselves.
The sages invite you to discover the Light because of which every experience is known.

It cannot be seen, because it is the Seer.
It cannot be known as an object, because it is the Knower.

It is the light by which all lights shine.
