Words seemingly from nowhere

Godliness.

Staying in the midst of society really does not help. Every relationship comes with expectations and obligations. Blessed are those who form relationships where only dharma (righteousness) is way of life:
• Swami Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and consort, Sarada Devi
• Sant Keshavdas and consort, Mother

Did I choose: Where was I to be born this life? The school I went to? My parents? My teachers?

Why did Brother Keane travel from Ireland to India and stay here so long? He had some ties and chains here. Maybe, some karma unfulfilled.


From where did I travel through all these lifetimes? To where am I travelling?

Am feeling an ache in my Heart for a long time now. Nothing makes me sad; nothing makes me happy either. Am in such a neutral state that if somebody bombed the earth, I may care two hoots before dying myself.

These words, they just flow. Seemingly coming from nowhere. Because I am not thinking these words or making up this stuff.

I am losing my memory, one remembrance at a time. Discarding all the rubbish in my mind makes my mind and Heart lighter. Maybe, this is what the Masters called as losing oneself. Because losing memory is losing what you are, what you mean to people.

What do you own? What can you possess?
How can I transcend sex, meditation, and all methods?
Oh Ramana, wherever you are, help me out. Push me a bit. Toss me around.

Some words you have to live to know what they really mean. Like, I am yearning now.
Somewhere at the horizon, words stop and silence begins.

In the great abyss of life, sorrows
have deeper burrows.
In this dark forest, a fine
next step may land on a landmine.

Why do you always feel like talking to somebody who’s left you with no one to talk to?
Okay, that is greeting card language.

Falsehood

Tamas and rajas dominate and direct my manas
When, not how, shall I attain sattva?

Is there a ‘when’ while I oscillate between the two?
Is the midpoint of my oscillation sattva?

Rajas and tamas obstruct sadhana.
How do I obstruct the obstructions?

How can I attain That?
When I say ‘I’ and ‘That’ together, my statement becomes falsehood.
