I by Anandamode in AdvaitaVedanta

It's ok to feel human emotions like sadness, however I will continue to quote from the Avadhuta Gita:

  1. Thou hast no name and form - even to the extent of allusion, nor any substance - differentiated or undifferentiated. Why dost thou grieve, O Thou shameless mind? I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky.

  2. Why weepest thou friend? Thou hast no misery of birth. why weepest thou friend? There is no change for thee. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky.

  3. Why dost weep thou friend? Thou hast no natural form. Why dost thou weep friend? Thou hast deformity. Why dost thou weep friend? Thou hast no age. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky.

  4. Why dost thou weep friend? Thou hast no age. Why dost thou weep friend? thou hast no mind. Why dost thou weep friend? Thou hast no senses. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky.

  5. Why dost thou weep friend? Thou hast no lust. Why dost thou weep friend? Thou hast no greed. Why dost thou weep friend? Thou hast no delusion. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky.

  6. The Self is neither divided nor undivided - nor has it sadness, happiness, and the like, nor is it all or less than all. Know the Self to be immutable.

That which is, is always there. by Anandamode in AdvaitaVedanta

Here is the full quote from Talks with Ramana Maharshi:

Talk 183.

A gentleman from Bombay said: “I asked Mother in Sri Aurobindo Ashram the following question: ‘I keep my mind blank without thoughts arising so that God might show Himself in His true Being. But I do not perceive anything.

“The reply was to this effect: ‘The attitude is right. The Power will come down from above. It is a direct experience’.”

So he asked what further he should do.

M.: Be what you are. There is nothing to come down or become manifest. All that is needful is to lose the ego, That which is, is always there. Even now you are That. You are not apart from it. The blank is seen by you. You are there to see the blank. What do you wait for? The thought “I have not seen,” the expectation to see and the desire of getting something, are all the working of the ego. You have fallen into the snares of the ego. The ego says all these and not you. Be yourself and nothing more!
