HONOURING AND SERVING TRUTH WHENEVER POSSIBLE

[John Hierl @johnhierl]

Your ego perspective is but limited – it is only a perspective.

Try and expand its narrow viewpoint to the Absolute -

Your life will become richer by loosing the ego in the Unity of all.

You can experience the Atman (Self) anytime and anywhere.

When you do, thank the Lord for those moments of Moksh.

Even better: Prolong them into continual abidence in the Lord.

On Bhakti
Shlok 31 of Vivekachudamani by Shankaracharya

Among the instruments and conditions necessary for liberation bhakti alone is supreme. A constant attempt to live up to ones own Real Nature is called single-pointed devotion.

What is time?

It is the necessary illusory framework within Maya (the realm of relativity) through which a Jiva experiences its Samsar. When time is transcended, Moksha is attained.

On words

All words are only pointers to the Brahmn.

They can never reach That Which cannot be described.

[John Hierl @johnhierl]

Remember: behind the world of objects is the Same Essence manifested in all forms you can perceive - including you.

It is शाश्वत: existing in all three periods of time.

Do not differentiate between different bodies, forms and attributes!

Where is Home?

You make your Home in God – the only ever-constant Truth everywhere.

Not in any house or flat will you find God, but only within.

#advaita #hinduism #philosophy #Mindfulness

[John Hierl @johnhierl]

What is Truth?

Truth is Being within the seat called अधिष्ठान

It stays the same before, now and after.

It never changes, is limitless, ever auspicious and without individuality.

There is nothing else to know.

#advaita #hinduism #philosophy #mindfulness #physics

[John Hierl @johnhierl]

Believing in God equals knowing and trusting that the good, bad and ugly happens for the best – at the time you might not understand, especially in the hard times, but

IN TRUST YOU FIND FREEDOM AND GOD

When you are confronted with too many choices…

Ask yourself: is your only priority God?

Be honest!

Nothing else but God matters.

#advaita #hinduism #philosophy #Mindfulness

[John Hierl @johnhierl]

3 levels of human existence according to identification
- BODY: attachment
- MIND: mis-identification with thoughts as the only reality
- SOUL: those who stay aware and cultivate their lives in God-Contemplation

ON WHICH LEVEL DO YOU LIVE MAINLY?

#advaita #Mindfulness

[John Hierl @johnhierl]

No matter what in life: turn maya into your friend.

Any experience, say to yourself: this is the Lord. I remember the Lord and this God-thought is a reminder of the Truth.

Maya is no enemy, but your companion in life to mukti.

SHUBH DEEPAVALI!

PHYSICS AND ADVAIT VEDANT

Atman = Brahmn
E= mc²

From individuality as Energy to the mass of all - in the speed of light back to the All.

My new article today answers the question if AI can ever become conscious - from the perspective of Advait Vedant.

Learn to discern between lived spirituality and that which is but an interpretation of it - be it your own or by others.

When you conduct your life thus, you will have gained independence from the external world of illusion.

Only God awaits then.

#mindfulness #Hindu

[John Hierl @johnhierl]

As you go about your daily life, stay aware when samsar drags you into its hold – its signs amongst other things: rag-dvesh, sukh-dukh...

Remember: this isn’t the real you.

Affirm the Truth as that which just Is!

#advaita #hinduism #philosophy #mindfulness #Physics

[John Hierl @johnhierl]

Manifestations are only possible in the relativity of space-time. Beyond it abides the ever-constant Truth called God.

Experiences are only possible within a superimposed space-time on the Truth.

My new article in today’s Times of India is on bhakti as a universal sadhan in all religions, in particular on Brother Lawrence - a Christian bhakta who lived in the 17th century

In the maya waking state which only exists due to identification with a physical body, everything is but a relativity.

Therefore, unification is only possible by abidance in the Substratum Truth underneath and beyond everything.

#advaita #hinduism #philosophy #Mindfulness

[John Hierl @johnhierl]

What is Unification? – Is it the singular Point of everything?

No, rather it is the Point of no return – where cognition halts - where none of the laws of physics reach -

Where there is only Being of everything as Consciousness everywhere.
