la única que ha tenido algún efecto práctico sobre mi,
es la carrera de los espermatozoides por no llegar el último.
Y llevo una vida entera luchando contra el que llegó primero...

Sin carreras que me acrediten
A decir verdad, no reconozco ningun estudio o carrera que puedan avalarme;
la única que ha tenido algún efecto práctico sobre mi,
Y llevo una vida entera luchando contra el que llegó primero...

Sentimentalismos racionales
La logica no tiende al infinito,
en cuanto se asoma al Universo,
se defiende con sentimentalismos matemáticos

Realización
Pretender cambiar las situaciones o las personas,
es negar el poder de la mente,
e impide reconocer que la esencia
y la resolución de Todo
es la Conciencia
es negar el poder de la mente,

Espejismos
El mundo todavía no existe,
es un reflejo de un lugar que aún no es real
por eso parece que algo esté sucediendo,
aunque nada haya ocurrido...
aunque nada haya ocurrido...
The Essential Teachings of Ramana Maharshi
1. The mind is nothing but the thought "I."
2. Thoughts arise because of the thinker.
3. The thinker is the ego, which if sought will automatically vanish.
4. Without consciousness, time and space do not exist; they appear within Consciousness but have no reality of their own.
5. It is like a screen on which all this is cast as pictures and move as in a cinema show.
6. The Absolute Consciousness alone is our real nature.
7. Grace is within you; Grace is the Self.
8. Grace is not something to be acquired from others. If it is external, it is useless. All that is necessary is to know its existence in you.
9. You are never out of its operation.
10. The mind cannot seek the mind.
11. You ignore what is real and hold on to that which is unreal, then try to find what it is. You think you are the mind and, therefore, ask how it is to be controlled.
12. If the mind exists, it can be controlled, but it does not. Understand this by inquiry.
13. Seek the real, the Self.
14. The Eternal is not born nor does it die.
15. We confound appearance with Reality. Appearance carries its end in itself.
16. What is it that appears anew?
17. If you cannot find it, surrender unreservedly to the substratum of appearances; then Reality will be what remains.
18. Reality is simply loss of the ego.
19. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity.
20. Because the ego has no real existence, it will automatically vanish, and Reality will shine forth by itself in all its glory. This is the direct method.
21. All other methods retain the ego. In those paths so many doubts arise, and the eternal question remains to be tackled. But in this method the final question is the only one and is raised from the very beginning.
22. No practices (sadhanas) are even necessary for this quest.
23. Your duty is to Be, and not to be this or that.
24. "I am That I Am" sums up the whole truth; the method is summarized in "Be Still."
25. The state we call Realization is simply being one's self, not knowing anything or becoming anything.
26. If one has realized, one is that which alone is and which alone has always been. One cannot describe that state, but only be That. Of course, we loosely talk of Self-realization for want of a better term.
27. There is no help in changing your environment.
28. The obstacle is the mind, which must be overcome, whether at home or in the forest. If you can do it in the forest, why not in the home? Therefore, why change the environment?
29. The cause of misery is not in life without; it is within you as the ego.
30. You impose limitations upon yourself and then make a vain struggle to transcend them.
31. Why attribute to the happenings in life the cause of misery, which really lies within you? What happiness can you get from anything extraneous to yourself? When you get it, how long will it last?
32. The body itself is a thought.
33. Be as you really are.
34. There are no stages in Realization or degrees in Liberation.
35. There are no levels of Reality; there are only levels of experience for the individual.
36. If anything can be gained that was not present before, it can also be lost, whereas the Absolute is eternal, here and now.
37. It is not a matter of becoming but of Being.
38. Remain aware of yourself and all else will be known.
39. One comes into existence for a certain purpose.
40. That purpose will be accomplished whether one considers oneself the actor or not.
41. Everything is predetermined.
42. But one is always free not to identify oneself with the body and not to be affected by the pleasure and pain associated with its activities.
43. Engage yourself in the living present. The future will take care of itself.
44. Find out who is subject to free will or predestination and abide in that state.
45. Then both are transcended. That is the only purpose in discussing these questions. To whom do such questions present themselves?
46. Discover that and be at peace.
47. Your true nature is that of infinite spirit.
48. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.
49. When the mind unceasingly investigates its own nature, it transpires that there is no such thing as mind.
50. This is the direct path for all.
51. If one inquires as to where in the body the thought "I" first rises, one would discover that it rises in the heart; that is the place of the mind's origin.
52. Grace is always present.
53. You imagine it is something somewhere high in the sky, far away, and has to descend. It is really inside you, in your Heart, and the moment you effect subsidence or merger of the mind into its Source, grace rushes forth, sprouting as from a spring within you.
54. You speak as if you are here, and the Self is somewhere else and you had to go and reach it…
55. …But in fact the Self is here and now, and you are always It.
56. It is like being here and asking people the way to the ashram, then complaining that each one shows a different path and asking which to follow.
57. The realized person weeps with the weeping, laughs with the laughing, plays with the playful, sings with those who sing, keeping time to the song.
58. What does he lose?
59. His presence is like a pure, transparent mirror. It reflects our image exactly as we are. It is we who play the several parts in life and reap the fruits of our actions. How is the mirror or the stand on which it is mounted affected? Nothing affects them, as they are mere supports.
60. The Consciousness of "I" is the subject of all of our actions.
61. Inquiring into the true nature of that Consciousness and remaining as oneself is the way to understand one's true nature.
62. All that is required to realize the Self is to Be Still.
63. What can be easier than that?
64. If one gains the Peace of the Self, it will spread without any effort on the part of the individual.
65. When one is not peaceful, oneself, how can one spread peace in the world?
66. Unless one is happy, one cannot bestow happiness on others.
67. Happiness is born of Peace and can reign only when there is no disturbance. Disturbance is due to thoughts, which arise in the mind. When the mind is absent there will be perfect Peace.
68. Reality lies beyond the mind.
69. So long as the mind functions, there is duality. Once it is transcended, Reality shines forth.
70. Self-effulgence is the Self.
71. Satsang means association (sanga) with Being (Sat), which is the Self.
72. For whom is association?
73. The ultimate truth is so simple; it is nothing more than being in one's natural, original state.
74. It is a great wonder that to teach such a simple truth a number of religions should be necessary, and so many disputes should go on between them as to which is the God-ordained teaching. What a pity!
75. Just be the Self, that is all.
76. Because people want something elaborate and mysterious, so many religions have come into existence. Only those who are mature can understand the matter in its naked simplicity.
77. There is neither past nor future; there is only the present.
78. Yesterday was the present when you experienced it; tomorrow will also be the present when you experience it.
79. Therefore, experience takes place only in the present, and beyond and apart from experience nothing exists.
80. Even the present is mere imagination, for the sense of time is purely mental.
81. Because people love mystery and not the truth, religions cater to them, eventually bringing them around to the Self.
82. Whatever be the means adopted, you must at last return to the Self; so why not abide in the Self here and now?
83. There is no greater mystery than this: Being Reality ourselves, we seek to gain Reality.
84. We think that there is something hiding Reality and that it must be destroyed before the truth is gained. This is clearly ridiculous.
85. A day will dawn when you will laugh at your past efforts. What you realize on the day you laugh is also here and now.
86. If we look upon the Self as the ego, we become the ego, if as the mind we become the mind, if as the body we become the body.
87. It is thought that builds up layers in so many ways.
88. Take no notice of the ego and its activities but see only the light behind it.
89. The ego is the "I"-thought.
90. The true "I" is the Self.
91. The world does not exist in sleep and forms a projection of your mind in the waking state. It is therefore an idea and nothing else.
92. It is false to speak of Realization; what is there to realize?
93. The real is ever as it is.
94. All that is required is to cease regarding as real that which is unreal. That is all we need to attain wisdom (jnana).
95. The universe is only an object created by the mind and has its being in the mind. It cannot be measured as an external entity.
96. The world phenomena, within or without, are only fleeting and are not independent of our Self.
97. Only the habit of looking at them as real and located outside ourselves is responsible for hiding our pure Being.
98. When the ever-present sole Reality, the Self, is found, all other unreal things will disappear, leaving behind the knowledge that they are not other than the Self.
99. Either surrender because you realize your inability and need a higher power to help you, or investigate the cause of misery.
100. The Divine never forsakes one who has surrendered.
2. Thoughts arise because of the thinker.
3. The thinker is the ego, which if sought will automatically vanish.
4. Without consciousness, time and space do not exist; they appear within Consciousness but have no reality of their own.
5. It is like a screen on which all this is cast as pictures and move as in a cinema show.

Manipulación personal
Te conviertes en lo que te opones.
O me opongo a todo o no me resisto a nada:
quiero dejar de convertirme en lo que no soy
Reflejos mundanos
No eres especial,
Todo el mundo está haciendo lo que tú haces;
deja de proyectarte!
Ver el Sueño como sueño
Todo es una cuestión de imaginación. Uno imagina que uno está soñando, otro imagina que uno no está soñando. ¿No son ambos lo mismo?
Mah: Lo mismo y no lo mismo. No soñar, como un intervalo entre dos sueños es, por supuesto, una parte del soñar. No soñar como una serena permanencia, y un morar atemporal en la realidad no tiene nada que ver con soñar. En ese sentido yo nunca sueño ni nunca soñaré.
Int: Si tanto el sueño como la escapatoria del sueño son imaginaciones, ¿cuál es la salida?
Mah: ¡No hay ninguna necesidad de una salida! ¿No ve usted que una salida es también una parte del sueño? Todo lo que usted tiene que hacer es ver el sueño como sueño.
Int: Si comienzo la práctica de desechar todo como un sueño, ¿adónde me llevará?
Mah: A dondequiera que le lleve, será un sueño. La idea misma de ir más allá del sueño es ilusoria. ¿Por qué ir a alguna parte? Sólo dése cuenta de que usted está soñando un sueño que usted llama el mundo, y deje usted de buscar salidas. El sueño no es su problema. Su problema es que a usted le agrada una parte del sueño y no otra. Ámelas a todas, o a ninguna, y deje usted de quejarse. Cuando usted ha visto el sueño como un sueño, usted ha hecho todo lo que se necesita hacer.
Int: ¿Está causado el soñar por el pensamiento?
Mah: Todo es un juego de ideas. En el estado libre de ideación (nirvikalpa samadhi) no se percibe nada. La idea raíz es: «yo soy». Esta idea raíz quiebra el estado de consciencia pura y es seguido por las innumerables sensaciones y percepciones, sentimientos e ideas cuya totalidad constituye Dios y Su mundo. El «yo soy» permanece como el presenciador, pero es por la voluntad de Dios por lo que todo acontece.
Int: ¿Por qué no por mi voluntad?
Mah: Nuevamente, usted se ha dividido a usted mismo —en Dios y presenciador. Ambos son uno.

Comprensión
No te culpo -dijo-. Ver es dejar al desnudo la esencia de todo, es ser testigo de lo desconocido y vislumbrar lo que no se puede conocer, pero ello no nos trae desahogo. Generalmente, los videntes se descalabran al ver que la existencia es incomprensiblemente compleja y que nuestra conciencia cotidiana la difama con sus limitaciones.
Reiteró que, durante sus explicaciones, mi concentración tenía que ser total, que el comprender era de crucial importancia, y que los nuevos videntes daban el más alto valor a las comprensiones profundas que no eranproducto de la emoción.-Por ejemplo, el otro día -prosiguió- cuando creíste haber comprendido algo muy significativo acerca de tu importancia personal (ego) y la de la Gorda, en realidad no entendiste nada. Tuviste un arranque emocional, eso es todo. Digo esto porque al día siguiente andabas de nuevo abrazado de tus ideas, como si nunca te hubieras dado
cuenta de nada.
"Lo mismo le pasó a los antiguos videntes. Eran dados a las reacciones emocionales. Pero cuando llegó elmomento de comprender lo que habían visto, no pudieron hacerlo. Para comprender uno necesita de sensatez, de cordura, no de emocionalidad. No te confíes en aquéllos que lloran con la emoción de comprender, porque no han comprendido nada.
"En el camino del conocimiento hay peligros incalculables para quienes carecen de sobriedad y serenidad."

Entropía
La ley de la entropía no es más que la percepcón ilusoria del espacio-tiempo. Digo que es la percepcion ilusoria del espacio tiempo, porque hay una vision real incluso de esta dimensión temporal, del mundo.
Incluso desde la percepcion plena o íntegra, desde una visión holográfica, no hay nada como desorden o caos. Este error fundamental de la percepción se debe a la creencia de un mundo fisico o de una percepción objetiva. No hay tal cosa como una membrana que separe adentro y afuera. Simplemente se enfoca la atencion en un espacio, y lo delimitamos con bordes y fronteras perceptuales. Ves una aguja en un pajar, y dices: estaba perdida y la he encontrado... Pero la aguja, no estaba perdida ni se habia escondido. Simplemente, antes no existia.
El orden que hemos impuesto a la realidad es conceptual, y por lo tanto limitado y limitante.
Alfa y Omega
Al principio, el amor le pertenece a tus pensamientos.
Al final, los pensamientos le pertenecen al Amor.

Memoria virtual
Puedo recordarlo todo, haya sucedido o no.
La cuestión no es recordar, sino distinguir lo veraz
para olvidar lo falso
La realidad de los Mundos
El Misterio de la realidad es que Es el único fundamento
de todos los mundos concebiles
Amnesia temporal
No te enfades conmigo porque no me acuerde de ti,
hace mucho tiempo que vengo de muy lejos
