The No Thing he was referring to was love. He described it as vast and unimaginable. I listened to that in his other video The Internal Flame. Sorry. That's not what he's pointing to. I know Adya personally (first met him 10 years ago), and two of my friends studied under him for several years. They both discovered what he discovered, and both are now ND teachers. He may not tell it to you and his students directly. But I can see his smiling face of this love written all over. The shift in his consciousness was not discovering that it was not a thing. He discovered what he always were ( love ). What can be more important than that? The self is another word for love. Don`t you think? |

Like Adya, my primary interest is in pointing to the discovery of what looks out of all beings' eyes. On this forum we call that discovery "SR." Most people think they know who they are. They're conditioned to imagine that they're separate entities inhabiting a body--a "me." Some people intuit that this may not be true, and they start searching for the absolute truth. If they're lucky, they wake up and discover the Infinite. Anyone who discovers THAT will understand what Adya, Ramana, Niz, and other sages are pointing to.

What is self-realization? It`s simply being able to know you love and are being loved. What could be more than this? Love is so powerful that if you just say the word and you will be healed. Try whispering the words, " I love you, " in someone`s ears. And find how he/she will react to it ( an experiment ). With love, you can do the impossible and incredible. With love you can go to the farthest corners of the earth just to be with the beloved. Do you think love is a many splendor thing?
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
( From the Holy Bible 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 )

ZD, when you are at the video on YouTube, go up top to the address bar and copy the address. Now, back at the forum reply text box, where I am typing this response to you, notice the little icon that looks like a director's take board in the row of icons above the text box. It looks something like this...  ...click that icon and then paste the YouTube address you copied into the "Video URL" field that pops up, Finally click the insert video button, and wa-lah! If done correctly, the video should appear in your post. You can check your preview and click on the video to see that it works before submitting your post. It's actually pretty easy...once you know how :-) Got it. Thanks. My pleasure ZD. Great vid! |

Without love can do to people. You will only demonstrate how quickly false love can turn to hatred. No, I don't need a demonstration. |

It's the most common position of most evangelizers. I have been doing it on this forum since last year. By December, hope it reaches climax. When it comes, Love finally goes. |

That is like saying God can come and go. Where would love go when there is nothing that is not love? |

When it comes, Love finally goes. Love can come and go? That is like saying God can come and go. Where would love go when there is nothing that is not love? There's a quote from Ramana I gone over. He says, " When it comes, it comes. When it goes, it goes. " In the Vedic scriptures, When Radha & Krsna meets ( Madana) there's ecstasy, joy and intense excitement. When Radha & Krsna separates ( Mohana ), there's untold grief, sadness and bereavement. When there's No Thing that is not love? Love is all around us. Like air, we inhale and exhale it. The meaning of love coming and going. |

There's a quote from Ramana I gone over. He says, " When it comes, it comes. When it goes, it goes. " That is not quite right. What Ramana said was: “Let what comes come. Let what goes go. Find out what remains.” besides, you left out the most important line. |

Find out what remains.” besides, you left out the most important line. What remains is love. You receive love, you give love. Love is always within you. It's inexhaustible. The problem comes along when we don't share this to others. We become selfish. We always receive and receive. Yet you have this Love already. And you say, " I don't need your love. " |
