“Nosce te ipsum” – Know thyself

Isn’t it enough just to be happy and live your life fully? November 24, 2009

“But, Grandfather,” I said, “isn’t it enough just to be happy and live your life fully?”
After a long moment of silence, Grandfather answered. “It is not enough that man be just happy in the flesh, but he must also be happy and joyous in spirit. For without spiritual happiness and rapture, life is shallow. Without seeking the things of the Spirit, life is half lived and empty. And by spiritual life I do not mean just setting aside one hour of one day of one week for worship, but to seek the things of the spirit every moment of every day.

I ask you, then: What did these people do to seek spiritual enlightenment and rapture? Did they just give in to a life that was little more than work? They were given a choice every day of their lives-as you will be given a choice to seek the rapture of the Spirit or to resign yourselves to a life of meaningless work. The end result is always the same: forgotten graves and forgotten dreams of forgotten people. It is not important that anyone notice or remember, but that you work to touch God and affect in a positive way the consciousness of the Spirit-that-moves-in-all-things, thus bringing the consciousness of man closer to the Creator.”

How Does an Earthquake Shake? November 6, 2009

How Does an Earthquake Shake? (132,19-133, 21)

(p.305) Judas answered and said, “Tell me, master, how does an [earthquake] shake when it shakes the earth?”

The master picked up a stone and held it in his hand. [He said to him, "What] am I holding in my hand?”

He answered, “[It is] a stone.”

He said to them, “What supports the [earth] is also what supports heaven. When a word comes from the Majesty, it will go to what supports heaven and earth. The earth does not move. If it moved, it would collapse. But it does not, so that the first word might not fail. The word established the world and dwelled in it and smelled the fragrance from it. [47] I make known to you, all you children of humanity, all [the things] that do not move, for you are from that place. You live in the hearts of those who speak out in joy and truth. If the word comes from the Father’s body, among people, and they do not receive it, it will return back to its place.”

Notes:

[47] It is also possible to translate this sentence as follows: “The word established the world, and the world came to be through the word, and the world received fragrance from the word.” The Coptic text employs ambiguous pronouns throughout the sentence.

Patanjali describes what happens after Self-Realization September 22, 2009

Here is translation of Samadhi Pada 1-42:43 base on my Sahaja yoga experience:

1.42 (tatra shabda artha jnana vikalpah sankirna savitarka samapattih)

- tatra = there, among these, in that

- shabda = sound, word

- artha = meaning

- jnana = knowledge, idea

- vikalpah = with options

- sankirna = mixed with, commingled, interspersed

- savitarka = accompanied with gross thoughts (sa = with; vitarka = gross

thoughts)

- samapattih = engrossment, coincidence, complete absorption, transmute into

Likeness

1.42 Then our consciousness has difficulties to recognize the name, meaning and knowledge for particular object.

1.43 (smriti pari-shuddhau svarupa-shunya iva artha-matra nirbhasa nirvitarka)

- smriti = of memory

- pari-shuddhau = upon purification (pari = upon; shuddhau = purification)

- svarupa-shunya = devoid of its own nature (shunya = devoid; svarupa = its

own nature)

- iva = as it were

- artha-matra = only the object (artha = object; matra = only)

- nirbhasa = illuminative, shining brightly

- nirvitarka = without a gross thought (nir = without; vitarka = gross thought)

1.43 In this way the object purified from  name, meaning and knowledge shines in his real/vibratory/ nature.
