Bohr, Heisenberg and Pauli: The Copenhagen Interpretation 

“The Self is not in any object, nor is any object in the Self which is infinite and signless. Hence I am free from attachment and desire. Serene in this (knowledge) alone I abide

Natma bhavesu no bhavastatranate niranjane

Ityasakto sprhah santa etadevahamasthitah”

-Ashtavakra Gita

Anatomizing the Self, the Witness or the Observer

Through the cloud consciousness of the primordial mind

Hui-neng’s no mind of the samadhi state is beyond space-time construct

Wu-hsin and Wu-nien are the neural correlates of wu-wei or non-doing in Gita

However, there are computations, consciousness is beyond comprehensibility

Flowers Near Tashiding Monastery, Sikkim 

The silent flower

With all its variegated beauty is the unborn in the unborn

That is the expression of transcendental bliss

It abides in itself beyond the duality of relativism

Therefore we contend to non-origination and the primordial singleness of the self (ajativada)

Brahman is Brahman

It is unborn and all-pervading

It confers supreme peace and tranquility

Sivam Santam

With manifestation (only apparent), comes Dependent Origination or Relativistic Existence

There is doer or the ego – there is duality and opacity and obdurateness

In the luminosity of the Self – there is transparent interpenetration

Ashtavakra talks about non-origination of the Self

It does not spring from anything!

Yajnavalkya in Brihadarankya Upanishad says:

“When born, he is not born again;

who indeed can generate him?”

he is always unborn (aja) and non-dual (advaya)

The self is all that exists (sarvam atma) – knowing this be happy!

This is same as Vasudevah sarvam of Bhagavadgita (vii, 19)

Japanese Buddhist Monastery, Kolkata 

When the Zen Master asks questions like

Who Am I? Where Am I? Whence Do I Come?

Whither DO I Go? – an inquiry into the Self-Nature (Svabhava) of Reality

The questions are pointed in such way so that it corresponds to self-abidance

which is indeed the meaning of WELLBEING OR SWASTHYA or TRUE HAPPINESS

Where do the Bodhisattvas reside? Where is the Self abiding?

In the Eternal Now which is the present moment, quiescent and illuminating

The Self abides in its own abode continuously radiating maha-karuna from the center

The past and the future signals have interpenetrated each other (from their respective de-sitter event horizons ) and have become the present moment which too keeps on changing

In this eternal present the Buddha or the Awakened One has fixed his abode which is no abode (the mind has no abode)

Flowing Mountain Stream, Yuksom, Sikkim 

This is the universe of luminosity where space time is obliterated

This scene of complete transcendental interpenetration is called

The Entering into the Dharmadhatu (dharmadhatu pravesa)

How did you get in?

Through the Gates of Copenhagen by the bliss of the Witness!

Leaving behind nothing – I jump into the ocean of existence.
