Prajñānam Brahma | BLISS OF HINDUISMThe Mahāvākyas – meaning “Great Sayings” or “Great Sentences” – are four statements from the Upanishads which clearly and memorably indicate the unity and absolute oneness of our own spiritual Self with the Supreme Self; of Atman with Brahman.

The Upanishads are the central and foundational scriptures of Hinduism. They are filled with many Mahāvākyas but there are four specific ones, from each of the four Vedas, which are considered the greatest.

Meditation on these Mahāvākyas is a daily practice for many Hindus, who seek to attain God-realisation and to rise in consciousness to the highest levels of awareness of our own inner divinity and of the oneness and divineness of all life.

The philosophy of Hinduism dignifies and divinifies all mankind, by asserting thatall life is the ONE Life…that all life is sacred, precious, and divine…and that there is nothing but Brahman, the One Supreme Divine Principle which is all and in all.

1. Prajñānam Brahman – “Consciousness is Brahman”

(from the Aitareya Upanishad of the Rig Veda)

2. Ayam ātmā Brahman – “The Self is Brahman”

(from the Mandukya Upanishad of the Atharva Veda)

3. Tat Tvam Asi – “Thou art That”

(from the Chandogya Upanishad of the Sama Veda)

4. Aham Brahmāsmi – “I am Brahman”

(from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad of the Yajur Veda)

“In the beginning was only Being, One without a second. Out of himself he brought forth the cosmos and entered into everything in it. There is nothing that does not come from him. Of everything he is the inmost Self. He is the truth; he is the Self supreme. You are That, Shvetaketu; you are That.”

~ “Tat Tvam Asi” in the Chandogya Upanishad ~

 There are no thorns as such, and nothing harms if one learns how to be with the thorns, minding own business, without suspecting motives , that may be or may not be real,

like a flower exists

flower is still a flower though in the company of thorns,

thorns will not prick the flower why ?

since flower knows how to coexist with thorns

‘What is Grand is necessarily obscure to Weak men. That which can be made Explicit to the idiot is not worth my care. The Wisest of the Ancients considered what is not too explicit as the fittest for instruction because it rouses t 

And bhishma was resting on bed of arrows

vishnu relaxing on the serpant

shiva gulping poison,

what makes them to be with ease?   )

And this leads to me to check its applicability in the case of bombing innocents resulting in death of 16 , and injuring 100 innocents

also why was a big protest on the delhi rape case, should public and the affected ones should offer flowers and sweets to the criminals?

this blog itself is like a thorn i just feel disturbed to see it coming from you our st master

where is the flaw 

but i see some thorny questions on this blog concept of ''flowers in exchange of thorns ''

then why kishan removed thorns, destroyed the wicked?

did not offer flowers, there was war, lot of bood shed,

an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a thorn for a thorn?

was kishn not ''SAILING THROUGH EVERY SITUATION WITH EASE PEACE n bliss.?''

but is it wise to offer flowers, or to destroy the thorns

and why thorns at all get created by the supreme

why along with devas rakshas also are created, is it to only to destroy them

if to destroy why at all to create

is supreme so much foolish ? ,

probably the concept is to be further refined to reconcile these enigmas?

kindly see whether any valid answers exist

 ours is rishi sanskrithi, knowing and living the life intelligently, artistically, successfully material and spiritual both overflowing with sath chth ananda-----ie energy intelligence bliss

'''''to be an enlightened soul one has to leave the family and....''''''

---------------yes, to go to higher studies, one has to search for a good college and live away in a hostel and other places----if the present environ is unsuitable or inadequate to pursue his studies with sole devotion till comes out as a graduate,

'''' but that is not required if one understands that he is the eternal Soul and not his Body or his Mind.-------''''

--------------yes once graduated, he need not be away, will come back with a higher quali'n to serve the society on a higher plane'

'''He has the mind set of accepting fortune as well as miseries as the grace of the Absolute without any sort of grumble''''

seer will not stop there.

he comes to know the root of misery and the way to lead a life without the need of silently accepting the misery as fate etc

his krishi continues and succeeds to eliminate misfortune and miseries from his own life and from the life of all thru his great wisdom gained thru his intense sadhana in the remote ashrams at the feet of gurudev, and enables access to it easily by one and all

Why go else where ,searching hell or heaven, or wait for them to come?

right here you can create, instantly both , welcome
.
snake kills ,holds garala
but siva is naga bhusana, and garalakantha
.
why stop at drinking wine or liquor
drink poison if you can digest, like siva, without a fikir or fliqur

sugar is sweet for many
it's a hell for diabetic any

if you can drive a bike, you can ride, enjoy
if you cannot, loss of limb , life, no joy

drink is symbolic for negative
for some nothing is negative

even death, they are happy ,
the excitement overrides judgement in a jiffy

for some nothing is negative,
they accept life as it comes,

sankara drank when some one offered him a drink
drank a hot melt of a metal without a wink.

meditate
it will make you naturally choose what to take, what to reject,
no struggle, no resistence, or trying to avoid

it will make you accept unavoidable negative encounters most easily
like a trained bike rider negotiates the twists, curves, bumps, traffic,casually

enjoys a high speed ride reaches home safely,
but he cannot ride a car or plane or rocket just because he can ride bike happily

there are higher trainings
higher sadhanas to train in the mastery over different aspects of life.

fire burns, but some walk over it,
shiva holds fire in the third eye,perfectly fit

hanuman's tail when lit ,
did not burn, but burnt the one who lit

shiva and hanuman are deep meditators

 i am no judge

As reader

i am no judge,

i can't judge too, if not qualified

i take good, ignore bad..

that too as per my capacity to

if i am swine,

for me pearls won't shine

my bad taste picks worst as best

let me be more a connoisseur than critic

as writer

i am ever a child, learning, though faltering some times

self correcting, improving,

thru my own intuition

neither elated nor slated by if others praise or criticize

but looking for improvements from every opportunity

not claim perfection, perfection is divine

but strive for perfection and please the divine

Dhanyosmi.

you see the manifestation of love in you --- instantly ----by your precious glance at and genuine evaluation of my scribble
and
my experiencing it , ----instantly----and declaring its reality with an exclamation dhanyosmi 

god in reality is time
time in reality is now
now in reality is the present moment 
spirituality in reality is love
love in reality is the experience of present moment

What is the definition of love that is being referred here

Why love should take time why not immediately?

how time is related with love's manifestation?

why not explore its instant possibility?

think more, do not skip

if you skip, opportunity to discover is gone

So love is instantaneous, it does not take time 
do you want experience divine love instantly?
just ask me how

INSTANT---is the thing spiritual,---------[ if applied in noodles, it is welcome, ignore it ]

INSTANT may be a possibility.
do not discount it
but supreme being super prem, 
he will not make the devotee to wait for long 

instants are plenty 

om jayajagadish hare
bhaktha jano kee sankata ---kshaname---- doora kare

this is the great promise and real experience with supreme 
do not underestimate do not make fun
do not wait
do not lose it 
do not lose time and life in waiting and hoping 

how to make it instant?

if you want to know the answer kindly ask me

In a few minutes of meditation , even in the first sitting 

one can get a glimpse of the unmanifest ,absolute, the pure consciousness, shudha chethana for a moment , the samadhi experience, and one is immediately become enlightened on the essential gyan,

this experience is paramount, 

repeated experience of this time over weeks months years one grows in godliness , in leaps and bounds 

and this momentary experience , least, is the essential spark that lights the inner lamp, the light gradually increases , and grows infinite to engulf the whole universe in it 

and this most valuable , essential experience can be gained thru a proper guide who just teaches in short period and makes one to easily, surely authentically get that experience, not to wait for life time or births 
find such a teacher they are available , it is your search that takes one to him, i can give no name
