*WORDS OF WISDOM*- Being is awareness. It cannot be experienced as an object, as a sensation or mental state because it is non-dual. We can only BE it. It is always available if we drop all thinking, wanting or any form of mental activity for a moment and rest as IT. A spacious stillness without content reveals itself. It is a quality that surpasses any other mental state. It brings immediately a distance and at the same a closeness to the mental 'objects' it contacts. That is why Sri Ramana often said that there is only ONE condition to be fulfilled: 'Summa iru!' - Be still! ~ RAMANA MAHARSHI

BEING IS KNOWING IS BLISS

You declared:
‘Ullaporol – that which exists, which gets the name ‘ullam’, is not a though-form’.
Praise be to you!

- ‘Upadesha Tiruvahal’ by Muruganar

Could there be a being-consciousness existing apart from That which eternally is? Since that reality exists in the Heart, free of thought, who could meditate upon that reality, called the heart? Know that to remain within the Heart, as it is, is truly to meditate upon it.

- Ulladu Narpadu, the Forty Verses on ‘That-which exists’

For knowing That which Is
There is no other knower.
Hence Being is Awareness
And we are all Awareness.

To know the Self is but to be the Self,
For It is non-dual.
In such knowledge
One abides as That.

- Upadesa Saram, verse 23, 26

This is a beautiful collection of verses about the unity of being, Sat, and awareness, called Chit. Being is awareness. It cannot be experienced as an object, as a sensation or mental state because it is non-dual. We can only BE it. It is always available if we drop all thinking, wanting or any form of mental activity for a moment and rest as IT. A spacious stillness without content reveals itself. It is a quality that surpasses any other mental state. It brings immediately a distance and at the same a closeness to the mental 'objects' it contacts. That is why Sri Ramana often said that there is only ONE condition to be fulfilled: 'Summa iru!' -Be still!
