The Opening of the Trunk

-Moment of inner freedom

Divine Mother, Mirra Alfassa

when the mind is opened & the
infinite universe revealed
& the soul is left to wander
dazed & confus’d searching
here & there for teachers & friends.
~~~

Moment of Freedom
as the prisoner
blinks in the sun
like a mole
from his hole

a child’s 1st trip
away from home

That moment of Freedom- Jim Morrison

The phonemic emanation from the primordial fluctuations have been the source of the material universe….matter is mind in a certain domain of frequency….if the mind disappears….what happens to the matter? The gross physical existence is a projection from a higher level of consciousness phenomenally present but noumenally absent….But absence and presence must extinguish each other leaving a vacant lot which is forever the plenum of existence….the evolution is based on higher efficiency of the will which is perfected desire (iccha shakti) via the non-local network convergence b/w knowledge and action. Action is useless unless it subscribes to the non-dual consciousness or the Chit Shakti – this is the supramental intelligence that flowers divine light in retrocausal matter….it is further locally assembled by the subtlety of the 5 elements to create, sustain and dissolve the Flow-form of the Torus. The different modes of interrelationships between structure and background – between the colors and the canvas is differentiated and graded by the consciousness of the Sri Yantra….This is the quantum mechanics of the super-symmetry lattice involuted in the Hṛīṁ  as the nava­nāda in the Lalita Sahasranama.

There is only Self-Existing Wakefulness (the State of Freedom or Swantantra: This is beyond Dependent Existent Phase)

But one has to Realize it

Realization  is experience – it is closer to Para-Vak

Idea is still Madhyama-Vak more condensed and closer to Vaikhari Vak or Normal Speech

Mind has 2 aspects – it is empty and cognizant (it experiences things)

These 2 aspects are indivisible

The 2 states of thought-occurrence (arising) and stillness (cessation) refer to thinking and cessation of thinking  (ceasing)….Arising is creation and Ceasing is Dissolution

Within the cellular dynamical networks of the universe since time immemorial, until this very moment, we have been caught up in the arising and ceasing of thoughts

When the thinker and thought are one…then you wake up….

Then there is only waking up….no dream or sleep mode

At that moment there is no thinking…

At that moment there is no stillness…

When you have lost both thinker and that which feels stillness

You have arrived at MAHAMUDRA

This is the secret of the Sri Vidya

Press Release:

“The Fragrance of a Paper Rose” new works by Atul Dodiya.

Venue: Galerie Templon, rue Beaubourg Paris

It’s a fascinating exhibition where the artist takes Fellini’s La Dolce Vita as his starting point for his first Paris exhibition in 5 years. The show starts with paintings of stills from an inspirational part of the film focusing on a painting by Giorgio Morandi, an artist that Dodiya loves, which then leads him to feelings of uncertainty and anxiety expressed in the film about the time. This in turn made Atul Dodiya explore similar feelings about the world today, which he looks at in the other paintings visualising a world teetering on the edge of destruction. Perhaps something we all feel at the moment!

This series of paintings inspired by Italian Pre-Renaissance frescos, feature the figures of saints and the Lord Krishna in the midst of Arcadian settings, like the saviors of an environment under threat of ruin. The Brancusi column also appears as a recurring abstract motif.

More information in this video interview:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2Vi3_v7Hzc&feature=youtu.be

Regarded widely as a pioneer of Indian contemporary art, Atul Dodiya is a world-renowned artist with work in several major public collections such as the Mnam-Centre Pompidou, Tate Modern, London, Philadelphia Museum of Art. He was the first to build bridges between Indian and Western art, after spending what was to be a decisive year studying at the Paris l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in the early 1990s.

To fathom Him I fail.

How He fulfils our hearts with His love

Devi Saraswati, Goddess of Learning, Kalighat Painting Bengal

O Friend, I cannot tell.

 

I learned to laugh through tears and staked

My all to glimpse His Face:

I won Him by becoming His,

Lost all and gained His Grace.

 

Relentlessly He weaned me from

My lesser loves, my kin,

Till even the mate I once had hailed

Loomed far and alien.

 

Now dead I am grown to fear and shame

In my lone quest for Thee:

Strange, none befriends when thou becom’st

One’s friend, O Mystery!

(Song that came to Indira Maa after 14 hours of meditation at Mussorie, 1949. Dadaji, i.e. Sri Dilip Kumar Roy translated it into English. The original song was in simple Hindi. – from a spiritual science point of view some sort of super-luminal synapse taking place in the brain by mediation of Non-Local Consciousness, thereby articulating in simple harmony the essence of the Lord as expressed in Srimad Bhagavatam)- The Advent of Mira, Pilgrims of the Stars, Autobiography of Two Yogis, Dilip Kumar Roy and Indira Devi

MY FIRST MEETING WITH SRI AUROBINDO:

Sri Dilip Kumar Roy: “You must, then, realize it yourself first?”

Sri Aurobindo: “Obviously. Be it a new realization or light or idea- it must first descend into one person from whom it radiates out in widening circles to others. Doesn’t the Gita, too, say that the ways of the best of men act as models to the rest? In the Integral Yoga, however, the work starts after the realization, whereas in most other yogas it ends with the realization. The reason is that I am primarily at manifestation, for which I must, obviously, reach the Supramental myself before I can bring it to bear on our earth-consciousness. For this, ascent has to be the first step- descent is the next.”

Sri Dilip Kumar Roy: “How will the descent work, to start with?”

Sri Aurobindo: “When the Supramental touches our being, our consciousness will overpass its twilit stage of the mental, where the Divine Truth is distorted, into the upper regions where light has free play, that is, where there are no such distortions. This will in its turn bring about the transformation of mind, life and body, as that will be one of the functions of the Force as its inception in the world of matter, generally- to usher in subsequently the new era in man’s living. You must not misunderstand me. What I want to achieve is the bringing down of the Supramemtal to bear on this being of ours so as to raise it to a level higher than the mental and from there change and sublimate the workings of mind, life and body….”

Under the shade of the peepal and banyan trees

Silence adumbrates wisdom of the new era

And the boat leaves for the other side,

Are there to commute and encounter a synapse

The river rolls itself

Unfolding into the cherubic circles of the night jasmines at bloom

ABOLITION OF OPPOSITES

ALL OPPOSITES ARE THE VOIDNESS OF MIND WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE- COGNIZED AS SUCH WHEN APPERCEIVED AS VOID OF OPPOSITION.

Purner hashi

Muhurter bashi

Bajiye tole maner swaralipir jhankar

Akhar ankurday hate surya-pushpe nibedwito kare pran

Ei pran e anander swarup-utsho o bandana

Ke bedhechey ei chanda?

Kar patashilpe hriday unmochito hay?

Who renders the heart song that brings in consummation?

Beyond the dialectic of space-time, I am

Forever still

Form pervading forms

Ending in the formless void

In the Xian-Ho-Yogishwara

Unborn unconditional

In the rhythm of the Supreme Divine

All is but love and love….

Hriday mantre “Amar Bhasha Bhalobasha” (Yogishwar Sri Sri Kalipada Guharoy)

Is the vast plan of which we are a part;

Its harmonies are discords to our view,

Because we know not the great themes they serve.”

(Savitri, Sri Aurobindo)

In the calmness of the morning

Light breathing through the cedar and pines

Reflects the flying birds

On the waters of the lake

Frames are tranquilized in the ethereal dolour of this vastness of experience

A profound intelligence is the restful operation on the dynamic rhythm of ‘suchness’

Spontaneous it is, the blooming lotus is the yogic ananda –anubhuti of wu nien

Things as they are…wonderfully crafted by the blessings of the Lord

In one encounter have embraced the whole existence with love

Solemnized by an utter cry of the child who has lost his way (Bhakti-Swarup)

“Who in his heartfelt yearning cries and cries”. (PILGRIMS OF THE STARS, DILIP KUMAR ROY AND INDIRA DEVI)

Shirdi SAI, the Lord Dattatreya

It means that light and shade, long and short, black and white,

are relative terms, Mahamati, and not independent of each other;

as Nirvana and Samsara are, all things are not-two.

There is no nirvana except where is samsara,

There is no samsara except where is nirvana;

nirvana and samsara. (Lankavatara Sutra)

BRAHMAN should not be sought as an objective reality, it

is to be realised in one’s own self .

The contentless consciousness of our own being or self

free from all superimposition of body and the mind, is BRAHMAN.

The 5 sheaths or kosas are modifications of the elements,

born to die and are known to be different from “I”-

the Pure Self.

The Self is beyond all modifications,

unborn, immortal  and the witness of all.

‘The higher form of meditation is therefore considered to be meditation on the principle of sound (nada) which is symbolized by the sacred syllable AUM, a syllable said to include all possibilities of speech since it is made of a guttural, a labial and a nasal sound, all other sounds being unavoidably contained within this triangle”.- (Alain Danielou)

Giving rise to the density of presence

Appearing apparently real

From the formidable void of a super-luminal absence;

He saw the Dharmarajika stupa

The circular shrine, the apsidal shrine

All that lay scattered everywhere

The burning of alphabets

The crucifixion on the stone

Only touched by the wind

And the rain

Or embalmed by the fire

That moved the cradle to-and-fro

In the destiny of the womb

Where silence is churned

And speech made erect

And blind given the vision to see

The sky’s colourful rainbow

On the edges of the golden bowl

The grass bowl, the rice bowl

Humming with the beautiful monarch butterfly

Or with the skipper or the whistler

The chestnut-bellied nuthatch looked up

Climbing the branches of the pine

It must have recognized

The summer’s pawn on the sleeves of the cloud

Makes merry the rain, clear and loud

Falling with its eternal belongings

Where the river knows the way….

Waiting with an openness of being                20161223_112622

Without any fixed notion or objective

This is a kind of everlasting transcendental openness

With an immense joy one just waits….

Waits and waits and waits…

The song of the universe wells up in the heart

And the myriad colours at the core of one’s being

Attuned to the pure consciousness

Lights the lamp to kindle a billion stars

This is a supramental descent

An act of grace but not by any individual effort

A supraconscient release of the plenum existence

Into an ocean of bliss

It is an inner journey of the soul’s everlasting consciousness

Reaching the shore of the infinite one

Through broken passageways and doorways that glimmer with hope

Enchanting every footstep with melodious sound

Of unbroken harmony that adores the vastness of space

Entwined with the moment’s timeless flowering

Sri CaitanyaMaha Prabhu

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

A light that danced across all mirrors

Then holding still the chariot’s vibratory rhythm,

It embraced the surging seas mountains and skies

And cried out to the birds and trees and rock and fire

Luminous self-revelatory experience of the Lord

In the coming time follow the signs

That will lead to the destiny of the world.

(From Book VII: The Book of Yoga, Canto V: The Finding of the Soul, Savitri -Sri Aurobindo)

We are connected to the Unified Field and when we are aware of this connection, or, conscious of it, the ‘still point’ of the mandala can give us access to infinite energy potential of the source field. It also grants us the ability or capacity to engage with that energy creatively and powerfully.

****Definition of Non-Objective Relation: There is neither Objective Self nor Objective Other, but only this mutual absence, which is what Noumenally we are…

I am that I am

Beyond the logic of the membrane

That separates us all

Differences are apparent time dilation in relativity to perceive various objects spatio-temporally extended

Differences are re-post-cognitive impressions in the duality of the mind

In the summation of all states I am everywhere and nowhere

The conditioned aspect of objective experience is an illusion

Brahman is Knowledge and Bliss as explained in the Brihadarankya Upanishad

In the Great Wilderness (the Tapovan) the primordial state of consciousness

Manifested as the Yogic White Light prepares the yajna spanning all eons (kalpas)

To worship the Brahman as Prajna (consciousness), as Satyam (Truth Absolute) and

As Anandam (Bliss)

The Asker is the Answer

The ultimate something which is no thing is what the universe is

And all that we are…

that’s how language operates in the phenomenal world connecting local mind

(I-Concept/Ego) with the non-Local Mind (*Noumenal Center)

The I-Concept has no nature of its own, no-thing

But it seems that it is the real self, the doer as it identifies with other objects

as their subject – once this illusion evaporates through ‘Prajnaic Functioning’

then it is called Awakening or Enlightenment
