Advaita

Ganges-Rishikesh- N.India

According to the Indian philosophy of Advaita,which literally means'non-two'.there is only One Source.


All there is is Consciousness.

In the Hindu scriptures it is said."Thou art(you are) the doer, Thou art the experiencer;Thou art the listener" You think that I speak and you listen,or you speak and I listen.But either of us were in deep sleep or under sedation,speaking or listening would not happen.Therefore ,it is Consciousness which does the speaking and listening through the other.

In this movie that we call life,the script is written directed and produced by Consciousness.It is Consciousness that plays all the characters in the movie,Consciousness is the screen on which the movie takes place,and Consciousness is watching the movie.

The same energy functions through six billion objects just as electricity functions through various gadgets,and brings about whatever is supposed to happen.

The Source is One. But when the Source became the manifestation and life as we know it,the very basis had to be duality.The One had to become two,and the two the many,in manifestation.

Καλημέρα Kelly,

Ένα μικρό απόσπασμα από την ΚΕΝΑ ουπανισάντ. (= με την εντολή ποιου;)

Who sends the mind to wander afar? Who first drives life to start on its journey? Who impels us to utter this words? Who is the Spirit behind the eye and the ear?
...
There the eye goes not, nor words, nor mind. We know not, we cannot understand, how he can be explained: He is above the known and he is above the unknown.

What cannot be spoken with words, but that whereby words are spoken:
What cannot be thought with the mind, but that whereby the mind can think:
What cannot be seen with the eye, but that whereby the eye can see:
What cannot be heard with the ear, but that whereby the ear can hear:
What cannot be indrawn with the breath, but that whereby breath is indrawn:
Know that alone to be Brahman, the Spirit; and not what people here adore.

ΥΓ. Έχω ενημερωθεί από την Πεταλούδα για την "επιθυμία" σου, θα κοιτάξω 2 βιβλιοπωλεία σχετικά που ξέρω εδώ και θα σου στείλω ημέηλ.
