Non duality | Presence | Self | Awareness

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

You know your body only as a stream of shifting sensations.

The weight of your limbs, the coolness of the air, the rhythm of your breath—these are all objects of your perception. They appear and disappear within your awareness like clouds in a sky.

We say "my body" just as we say "my clothes," instinctively treating it as something we have rather than something we are.

If the body is something you experience, what is the nature of the "I" that is experiencing it?

Notice the voice in your head that is currently reading these words.

You can hear its tone, its pace, and its subtle commentary. This implies a clear distinction: there is the mental voice that is speaking and there is the silent presence that is listening.

We usually identify with the speaker. We assume we are the one thinking and judging. But if you can observe the speaker as if it were a radio playing in the background, you cannot be the sound.

Look toward the one who is listening. Does that listener have a shape, a history, or a thought of its own?

Neem Karoli Baba often encouraged devotees facing fear, anxiety or difficult times to chant the Hanuman Chalisa.

In the devotional tradition, its recitation is believed to create a protective shield or Kavach, helping purify the mind and overcome inner obstacles.

Through regular chanting, devotion and remembrance of Hanuman, the restless mind can gradually find courage, strength and peace.

Roar

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

You are working very hard to become someone you aren't yet.

You refine your personality, collect achievements, and polish your story. It is a full-time job maintaining the image of a person who is finally getting somewhere.

But look closely at the one who feels incomplete.

The "I" that needs to be someone is just a project you are managing. It is a mental image that requires constant maintenance to feel real.

If you stopped building that person right now, what is left?

#SelfInquiry

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

Look at the nearest object and try to perceive it without using its name.

In the second before your mind says “lamp” or “window,” there is a raw, wordless contact. You are seeing color and light as they are, before the brain organizes them into a category.

Naming is a shortcut. It allows the mind to skip over the direct experience so it can focus on what the object is for.

When you drop the labels, the world loses its familiarity and gains its reality. Is there still a you looking at a thing, or is there just the seamless act of seeing?

#SelfInquiry

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

You are protecting something that isn’t there, and that effort is the only thing making it feel real.

We treat our identity like a physical object that can be dented or broken by the words of others. We build walls of opinion and preference to keep the "self" safe.

Yet, the moment you stop defending your story, the "me" begins to dissolve. It turns out the "me" wasn't the inhabitant of the fortress—it was the act of building the walls.

What would happen to your fear if you realized there was no one inside to protect?

#SelfInquiry

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

Most of your day is spent trying to arrive at a better version of yourself.

You wait for the coffee to make you more alert, for the work to be finished so you can be productive, or for the weekend so you can finally be relaxed.

There is a constant, subtle effort to bridge the gap between who you are now and who you think you should be. We treat the present as a waiting room for a person who hasn't arrived yet.

If you drop the project of becoming for just a moment, what is left?

Does the one who is aware of your life need to change at all?

#SelfInquiry

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

You have never experienced anything outside of yourself, yet you are certain that you are separate from the world.

When you look at the sky, the "blue" is not happening out there and the "seeing" is not happening in here. Both are a single movement appearing in awareness.

If you try to find the exact point where you end and the world begins, you will find that the boundary is missing. We imagine we are a passenger looking through a window, but the passenger, the window, and the view are all one event.

If there is no distance between you and your experience, where are "you" actually standing?

#NonDuality

[Neale Donald Walsch @realNDWalsch]

Do not jump into "reaction" mode at the first appearance of negative energy. Just breathe, and relax.

[The Secret @thesecret]

Forgive yourself for everything.

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

One thought ends and another has yet to begin.

In that narrow gap, there is a total absence of story, memory, or name.
Yet you do not disappear.

You remain there, aware of the quiet before the next movement of the mind.

We usually define ourselves by the noise we produce.
But who are you when the mind is temporarily out of words?

#SelfInquiry

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

You are never actually watching your thoughts.

By the time you notice a thought, it has already vanished.
What you call "observing" is simply the next thought arriving to comment on the one that just left.

One thought cannot turn around and look at another, any more than a flame can burn itself.

If every observer you can find is just another movement of mind, what is it that perceives the entire sequence?

#SelfInquiry

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

The pain of a "hurt ego" is the only pain that requires your permission to exist.

When someone criticizes you, notice the sudden, sharp urge to defend yourself. You feel as though your very being is under attack.

But look closer at the target. The words are directed at a mental portrait you’ve painted of yourself—a collection of labels, roles, and memories.

An insult is just a sound falling upon a concept.

If you didn't have a story about who you are, where would the barb land?

You are the one watching the reaction, not the one being wounded.

#SelfInquiry

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

The search can become so loud that it hides what it is searching for.

Notice what happens when you do not follow the next thought, solve the next doubt, or improve the sense of “me.” For a moment, nothing needs to be concluded.

There is still seeing, hearing, breathing. No answer has appeared, yet something is unmistakably present.

Is silence empty—or is it the first thing not asking to be found?

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

Observation may be happening before anyone observes it.

A sound appears. A thought appears. The body turns toward it. Only afterward does the mind say, I noticed that.

Look closely: can you find an observer apart from the observing? Or is the observer another thought appearing in the same field?

Perhaps the one claiming to watch is part of what is being seen.

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

You may be searching for what is already doing the seeing.

Every attempt to find yourself appears as a thought, image, memory, or feeling. But what notices these is not another object waiting to be found.

Pause before naming it. In this moment, before you improve, understand, or become someone else: is awareness absent?

Perhaps the search does not lead you to yourself. Perhaps it reveals that you never stood apart from what you were seeking.

@polimernews இந்த 5 வருஷம் திமுக வை திட்டியே வோட்டிடலாம் 🤗. அதுக்கப்பறம் யார திட்டுவது 🤔

[Peace @nsuresh_23]

The controller of your thoughts is another thought.

Watch closely: a thought appears, and then another says, “I chose that.” But did the choosing happen before the thought, or did the claim of ownership arrive afterward?

Wait for the next thought. Can you know what it will be before it appears?

If not, look for the one supposedly directing them. Is there a controller apart from the thoughts it claims to control—or only thoughts taking credit?

Today is the Equinox.

At the magnificent Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Kerala, the setting sun performs a spectacle its builders engineered centuries ago by appearing, one by one, through the openings of its precisely aligned gopuram.

Ancient astronomy & engineering but incredible precision.

On the Equinox, all roads should lead to Lord Padmanabha.
