Atmānanda- Laharī

  Waking state that keeps the sense organs at stake.  The worldwide web that traps us while awake . Happiness is not just aligning sense organs complex. Gautama story explains that it is much more complex.  Sorrow is neither intrinsic nor extrinsic. 'Happy Hour' can never remove it. Association with the unreal, creates sorrow. Practice dissociation to remove sorrow. Put a full stop to the flow of thoughts. Put a full stop to recover from the knots. Put a full stop to regain the objectivity. Put a full stop to create the inner space. When the thought arise 'I can't do'. When the thought arise 'I am not good enough'. Change the channel and change the activity. Take a deep breath and put a full stop. Jīva keeps projecting while awake. Paramātmā takes a nap in that web. The hungry ghost keeps filling the stomach. Desires and actions keep the day rolling. The sense organs can trap you. They can flip you in one second.  Beware of the camel that peeks in the tent. ...

 Sleep that cycles through stages  Sleep that cycles through all ages  Sleep  is when all operations cease  Sleep is that which gives everyone peace    Don't Wake up a sleeping person! Ahankara is out of commission Ananda arrives without permission  We get a piece meal satisfaction  Between the desires that come to fruition Koṣa is referred as locus of error  Knowing this can help us repair  Anna, prana, mano , vigñana ananda They all are 'I' but 'I' is none of them That bird has head as priyā  The flipping left wing  is modā  The happy right wing is  pramoda  Ananda essence is the atmā  That bird has Brahman as tail  And flies around without a trail  This is described in Taittiriya And this is the truth of Anandā Priyā occurs at the sight of the desired object  Modā arrives at the cognition of belonging  Pramodā is enjoyed by the union with the object Ananda is knowing this without ...

 Here is the space  There is the space  Everywhere is the space There is space between knuckles which makes noise when buckles There is space between organs which doctors call by jargons There is space between you and me That creates an illusion to be There is space between the walls That creates boundary and stalls You occupy less space when you allow more You occupy more space when you afford more Space is everywhere but appears to be divided Space is ever there but appears to change                                                                                                  As the potter makes the pot  Space is born inside the pot As the pot is destroyed  Space appears to be destroyed Is the pot space really b...

   Let the darkness of ignorance be gone Let the light of knowledge shine as dawn Let us choose the right like a Swan  Let us light the jijñāsu lamp in our lawn  May the oil of Śravaṇam continue to flow May the wick be lighten by the one who Know May the lamp of Mumukśutvam glow May this journey make us grow  Tree and rock appear differently  Mango and Magnolia behave differently  Trunk and leaves functions differently  Brahman is One and Only Without A second  No differences between species  No differences within species  No differences between parts  Brahman is One and Only Without A second  Jīvā has six changes to backdate Exist, be born, grow to procreate Decay and die but again rotate Ātmā exist nothing to predate  Ekam Eva Advitiyam One and Only Without A second Light the inner lamp this second  To dwell on that every second    Happy Dīpāvalī!

Nine poem garland for Swamini Svatmavidyanandaji for Navratri . 6.   ‘I’ Thali    A sumptuous feast is served as Thali  In a big plate of Prarabdha after tally With no option but to eat in this rally A bowl of joy served as dessert A bowl of sorrow served as hurt A bowl of pain served as guilt A bowl of bondage served as paste   A bowl of relationships served for taste A bowl of hard work served not to waste Some like it hot; some like it cold Some do not like no matter what  However, there is no choice left  You eat it with nothing left That which is served is I  That which is eating is I That which is nourishing is I That I cannot be negated  That I cannot be objectified That I is self-evident  There is nothing other than this I (Swamini Svatmavidyananda Satasloki 57 talk Aug 31 2021)  Satasloki v 57
