Nectar of Nonduality



 1. Magic unfolded in Eugene 
for the mumukśu engines 

Finding the right teacher is by grace,

All you need is a sidelong glance


2.  I abide as I am

I shine as knowingness

I bring joy at all times

I is established as Brahman 


3. Universe rises and sets in me,

new world is formed in the clouds 

I am that Brahman, without any doubts

I shine brightly as the sun

 

4. No destruction is possible for me, 

from within or outside for me 

I am the seer without eyelids

In my presence, all things exist 


5. No drying, wetting or burning 

No cutting by those four elements 

I accommodate all like space

I am unaffected just like space


6. I exist even in the insentient

I shine through the sentient

Understand the reflecting image

Transcend the illusionary mirage

 

7. Sat is the existence in all things 

Sentient and insentient forms 

Chit shines joyfully as consciousness

Manifesting as a variety of talents 


8. I am not the body or senses

I am not the life that tenses

I am not the mind or intellect 

I am not the my-ness or this 


9. I am not the mind that changes

I am not the ego that is limited

I am that fullness with no suffering

I am that desirable witness


10. I travel through all states 

I travel without any planes 

I travel through sleep and dream

I travel through the waking game


11. I bear no suffering or limitations

I have no pain or problems

Samsara is for the ego

I let go the ego


12. I travel through many thoughts

I travel through many births

I travel through many deaths

I travel through the past & future 


13. I witness the six modifications 

I witness the blossoming bud 

I witness the withering flower 

I witness the decaying compost 


14. For objects, change is a constant thing

For the subject, there is no thing called change

I am all knowing, causeless cause  

I am always full, with no pause


15. I am existent all around 

I am existent in all moments 

I am existent even in those 

who believe in non-existence 


16. I shine even the ignorance 

I shine even the fogginess

I shine through the saggy, baggy, body 

I shine through the muggy, foggy brain


17.  Mist stays until sun rises

Ignorance remains until enquiry begins 

It shimmers beautifully when not enquired, 

but vanishes quickly upon drilled


18. Ignorance is the big slumber party

Jiva is the sleeping beauty 

World and heaven are born of dream

Bondage & liberation are part of the dream


19. Sentient and insentient projected on the doll

Just like the mural painting on the wall

I am that Sat Chit Ananda 

No matter what happens or not


20. Observing as awareful witness, I exist

as a waveless oceanic Consciousness 

Knowingness is continuous

Memory is the connector 


21. Births are the foam bubbles that faint

I exist like the crystal with no taint

World is a movement in space

I accommodate even that space


22. Existence is my nature with no category

It is not an attribute of glory

No existence other than me

I am nondually, only one


23. Consciousness is my nature with no formality

It is neither unknown or known finality

I am that silence between the notes

I am that string between the beads


24. Happiness is my nature with no limitation

I transcend all divisions and cognitions

I am the baseline existence note

Upon which the entire melody is played


25. Transcending all the roles, I roll

Without a beginning or end is the soul

Self evident I is the pole

without any parts, I remain as whole


26. Free from remoteness and limitedness

Free from relatedness, I am boundless

'You are that' is understood

upon removing the false hood


27. World, people, teacher, student

All errors transcended smoothly

Self evident and self established

Self shines brightly within


28. Beautiful expression by Lakshmidara Kavi

Essence narrated by AdiSakti

Blessed by the Guru, this autumnal lotus

Will attract qualified bees as locus

Just Be ( Summa Iru)

Just Be (Summa Iru)  As I sat in the weekly satsangs on Ramana Maharshi, Bhagavan’s question echoed within me: “When are you coming to Tiruvannamalai?” That question did not remain a question for long. It ripened itself. The long vigil of Maha Shivaratri, chanting the Ramana Tamil parayanam and the 26th chapter of the Ribhu Gita, deepened the saṅkalpa into something steady and irreversible. After a week-long Vedanta camp in Rishikesh, the journey unfolded almost on its own. Flights were booked. A car was arranged from Chennai. For the first time, plans were made not for the world or family, but for the Self. And in that sincerity, something remarkable happened: the universe did not resist. No one in the family objected. It was as if life itself stepped aside. Despite war and unrest disrupting travel across the world, when asked, “Are you still going?” the response arose effortlessly: “If it has to happen, it will.” In the bustle of Rishikesh, the mind wandered through sense objects...

A Tale of Two birds

  A   Tale of two birds Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a bird, With a  coo coo  here, and a  coo coo  there, Here a  coo , there a  coo , Everywhere  coo coo ! This bird eats the berries, Some are bitter, some are sweet. Fluttering here, fluttering there, Restless in its endless search. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a jīva, With a  glub glub  here,  and a  glub glub  there , Here a  glub,  there a  glub   , Everywhere  glub glub   ! The jīva whines in sorrow, The jīva whines in fear. Forgetting its true nature,  It suffers birth after birth. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree the jīva met the Guru, And the jīva turned into a bhakta. She asks, “Give me this, give me that,” She prays in sorrow and distress. She makes her bargains and deals Slowly c...

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within Paro Taktsang , famously known as the Tiger’s Nest Monastery , is one of Bhutan’s most sacred and breathtaking places — perched on a cliffside at an altitude of around 3,100 meters (10,200 feet) in Paro, Bhutan.  It’s not just a hike; it’s a pilgrimage.  We began our hike from the base around 7 AM. Wooden walking sticks rented from locals in hand, Strava app turned on, and spirits eager, we followed our guide, Kinzan, who kindly guided us along. We took a “before hike” photo — smiling, unaware of the lessons waiting ahead. The winding path stretched ahead, shaded by tall trees, strings of prayer flags, with hundreds of steps ascending through the forest.  Around us, travelers from all over the world climbing along—each group led by its own local guide. Step by step, one foot before the other, the hike began.  With every upward step, doubts crept in —  Will I make it?   The walking stick ...
