Greetings All, Shloka # 35: “I am not myself” or “I know myself”… such expressions of man are a laughable matter. Is the Self two-fold, by the division of the Seer and the seen? In the knowledge of the oneness of one’s Self, indeed, there are no divisions.” Continuing his teaching, Swami Paramarthananda said, Bhagawan […]
Greetings All, Shloka # 32: Having reached within the heart, by the search, the “I” notion whose head is broken, falls. Then, another “ I” which is the main one shines forth.

Greetings All, Shloka # 31: Diving in silence by the mind, inquiring about one’s root alone is true Self-inquiry. “This I am” and “This I not my nature” these thoughts are a limb of true inquiry.

Greetings All, Shloka # 29: That is true Being, where the ego does not rise. That again will not perish without a search for its place of emergence.

Greetings All, Shloka # 24: ब्रह्मार्पणं ब्रह्महविर्ब्रह्माग्नौ ब्रह्मणा हुतम्। ब्रह्मैव तेन गन्तव्यं ब्रह्मकर्मसमाधिना।।4.24।। The means of the sacrificial offering is Brahman; Brahman is the oblation placed in the fire of Brahman and by Brahman is the sacrifice made.

Greetings All, Shloka # 20: त्यक्त्वा कर्मफलासङ्गं नित्यतृप्तो निराश्रयः। कर्मण्यभिप्रवृत्तोऽपि नैव किञ्चित्करोति सः।।4.20।। Giving up attachment to the fruits of works, eternally content, independent, the man, engaged in works as he is, does nothing at all.

Greetings All, Shloka #26: The body does not know. Of the Truth, there is no birth.

Continuing his teaching, Swami Paramarthananda said, from […]
