Which is Which?
Posted in Going Inwards, Ideas, Poems on Jul 13th, 2011
Each thought like a fleeting bacteria, finding an appropriate owner to manifest itself. So it is in your mind or simply just the mind? If it is just yours, how come I have it too? Doesn’t it seem strange that we never questioned it? Allowing it to come alive through us, believing we are that. […]
Understanding Suffering
Posted in Attitudes, Excerpts from Books, Going Inwards, Ideas on Jul 10th, 2011
Ashin Tejaniya said… Lobha (greed, any kind of craving or liking) is more difficult, more subtle — and moha (delusion, ignorance, not understanding, not seeing reality) is hardest. The point I was making the other day was that we should better not use the word suffering when we talk about dukkha. Most yogis don’t understand […]
Word Barrier
Posted in Attitudes, Being the Master, Going Inwards on Jul 7th, 2011
The words used need not matter. Whether it is “I”, “I am”, “God”, “Awareness”, “Awakefulness”, “Wisdom”, “True Self”, “non-self” or whatever that is commonly or uncommonly used in the spiritual context, of an inward journey. It does not change a thing, except create further barriers by language, also culturally distorted by each’s conditioning. Has it […]

“So learn from Me now, friend, as I briefly profile the qualities that make the loving yogi one with Me, Brahman, the Godhead. There is no higher achievement in life. “Cultivate a pure intellect. Free your mind and heart of delusion. Be self-restrained. Give up the ego. Subdue your senses through steady will. Abandon the […]
If there is no getting away from wanting and not wanting then at least want what is Truth and not want what brings you away from Truth. If there is no getting away from desiring and not desiring then at least desire what brings Freedom and not desire what binds you from Freedom. If there […]
My partner and I recently signed the divorce papers. It is interesting to observe the different responses from others upon hearing such news. Those who somehow thought that we were one of those that would have a long lasting marriage seemed distraught and upset that we signed the papers thus attempting to convince how we […]
The Mirror as the Same
Posted in Going Inwards, Poems on Jun 19th, 2011
How can the mirror show you the opposite save to reflect exactly where you are. You ask me how is it the same for the object mirror is showing only the opposite as in duality the good and the bad the right and wrong the beautiful and the ugly the haves and the have-nots. And […]
Obedient Wives Club
Posted in Going Inwards, Ideas on Jun 19th, 2011
A few days ago, I saw a friend’s furious comment about the Obedient Wives Club over Facebook. Today, another friend wrote me an email and expressed curiousness about it. My partner also expressed stupidity over the issue. And it is understandable, because if I had not seen the essence of how the Obedient Wives Club […]
