The seeker seeks the master, Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi's Grace to drown him in silence. Read a short poem. To sink in the depths of silence, Is what I seek with your ever   available guidance,  It's never enough to take little dips in      its waters,  But to drown in it once for all is what               really matters,   It's what to be in total peace,  And completely at ease,  What then remains for me   but to simply be?      

To just be is the state to be. Read a short poem based on the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, praying to Him to rain His Grace to just be. To be not entangled with thoughts, To stand aloof as the heart, In simple silence, Without the least volition, Equipoised in mind, True will power to find, Tuned to your Grace that rains, Peace that eternally reigns, With thoughts effaced, Without a trace, Abiding in truth so bare, Being completely aware, Let me just be, Absolutely free. A Seeker's Musings       

In the pathless path, where there seems to be a journey but in truth there is not, the traveller/seeker abides in his own heart or 'just be'. Nochur Venkataraman in one of his talks on Ramana Maharshi and His teachings said that Bhagavan's actual teaching was to 'just be'. For those of us for whom it was difficult to be, He mercifully taught the direct path of Self enquiry.  

Change is constant in life. Read a petite poem on staying rooted in one's true Self that is unchanging beyond the changing phenomenon. Picture Courtesy: Johannes Plenio www.unsplash.com

It is the state of dropping the mind, a deep let go of things . Bhagavan Ramana’s teaching is ‘Just be’. Self enquiry was suggested by Bhagavan as it is difficult to detach oneself from thoughts and to realise the true nature of one’s being at one go. It is the pure state of awareness. It is a state of acceptance . Non-acceptance causes rebellion or conflict in the mind. When one is in the state of just b-e-i-n-g, total acceptance has happened whatever be the external situations, with no trace of conflict in the mind. It is pure b-e-i-n-g or existing. It is not a negative state of simply existing, but a vibrant, throbbing existence full of life - a state of consciousness. It is the g...
