atma

The term __race_ has been explained by people just to fulfill the vested interest. But what is its actual meaning? Thakur (Sri Ramkrishna) has said __hen God within the body wishes to liberate himself, then there will be actual liberation of __tma_ or __oul_. That means spontaneous evolution of life power. This spontaneous evolution which individual gets is called grace. Otherwise the term __race_ is an abstract idea.

If Brahman an infinite ocean, then Atma a wave within be,Ocean not different from its waves, the waves as ocean be;They are but one and the same very similar in actuality,So Brahman and Atma are one and the same in reality.960

Shukladhyan (pure contemplation of the Self, the Soul) is the direct cause for moksha (liberation). Dharmadhyan (auspicious contemplation; to hurt no one, give happiness to others) is the indirect cause for moksh (liberation). Artadhyan (inner mournful contemplation that hurts the self) is a cause for a birth in animal life form (non-human). Raudradhyan (wrathful contemplation that hurts the self and others) is a cause for a life in hell.

The mind has got various phases . But all these phases merge and are transformed into one __tma___od with forms and attributes, and finally God without forms and attributes.

Man is indeed the Absolute Supreme Soul (Parmatma); it is possible for infinite divinity to arise within. The moment he has a desire, he becomes a human! Otherwise, he can acquire whatever he wants, but he is unable to do so because of impediments (antray).

If one understands (realizes) his own Self, then he himself is an Absolute Supreme Soul (Parmatma).

We_ are the self (chetan, Soul) and obstruction (antray) are non-self (achetan, non-Soul); therefore, the Self (chetan, Soul) shall win in the end!

Nothing in this world can touch or affect the one who remains in the focused pure applied awareness of the Self, the Soul (shuddha upayogi).

One has to decide to know the nature of the Soul. Will one not have to know that? Nothing is attained by just saying, __ am the Soul, I am the Soul._ The Soul has to come in to one__ experience, until then the worldly problems will not go away, will they?

The Soul has never become impure not even for a second and if it had become impure then no one in this world would have been able to purify it.

People live for two reasons. There are those who live for the Soul; such people are very rare. All others live for money. All day is spent for money, money, money!

To constantly see one__ own self as __ure_, and to see other__ self as __ure_, is focused applied awareness of the Self, the Soul (shuddha upayog).

Fruit of discharge karma with shukladhyan (contemplation as the Self, Pure Soul) is moksha, and fruit of discharge karma with dharmadhyan (auspicious contemplation; to not hurt anyone, to give happiness to others) is tremendous punya. It binds punyanubandhi punya (merit karma which binds more merit karma).

Desires are done by the __udgal_ (non-self mind-body-complex), so how can they be suppressed? If You (the Self) are the one doing the desiring, then why don__ you stop it? But that doesn__ happen therefore, desire is a matter pertaining to the Pudgal (non-self mind-body-complex).

Who is doing this? Who am I? What is all this? Who is the doer? Who is the nimit (instrumental doer) of this? If all these remain present __t a time_ exactly the way it is, then that is considered shuddha upayog (pure focused applied awareness of the Self, the Soul).

Egoism of the ignorant stage (ignorance of the true self) is considered live egoism. It becomes lifeless after attaining knowledge of the Self. If one takes the side of this lifeless egoism that, __ am not like that_- it will become alive again. Lifeless egoism is to be disposed off; it is not to be protected.

That which cannot be seen by the eyes, nor heard by the ears, is the Self (chetan, Soul). That which can be heard by the ears, 'Television' is seen, a __ecord_ is heard, that is not self (chetan, Soul) . The Self (chetan, Soul) can only be seen with the divine vision (divya chakshu).

How far is the Soul from attaining moksha (ultimate liberation)? Only the obstructive (antray) karmas.
