The I am and the witness! ~Nisargadatta


The I am and the witness!
~Nisargadatta

The witness is both unreal and real. The last remnant of the illusion, the first touch of the real. To say: I am only the witness is both false and true, false because of the ‘I am’, true because of the witness. It is better to say: ‘there is witnessing’. 

The moment you say ‘I am’, the entire universe comes into being along with its creator.

34. Immortality is freedom from the feeling: ‘I am’. Yet it is not extinction. On the contrary, it is a state infinitely more real, aware and happy than you can possibly think of. Only self-consciousness is no more.
Who would remain even to say ‘I am the witness’? 
When there is no ‘I am’, where is the witness? In the timeless state there no self to take refuge in.

OM! The mental factory ¬ Swami Sivananda


The mental factory
(How desires and bondage are formed)
¬ Swami Sivananda

Antankarana (the inner instrument) is a broad term which includes (mind-manas, intellect-buddhi, memory-chitta and Ahankara-ego). The one Antaknarana assumes four forms according to the various functions it performs, just as one man assumes the name of a Judge when he works in the court; President, when he serves in a society or association; Chairman, when he presides in a meeting; and a storekeeper when he is in charge of a store. 

When you pass along a mango garden, the mind does Sankalpa-Vikalpa (will and doubt). It thinks whether it is a good mango or not. The Buddhi comes to its aid. It determines and says: "This is a good mango." The Chitta does Anusandhana (enquiry). It says: "l will find out methods to get mangoes. I will find out the owner of the garden. I will purchase from him."  Ahankara self-arrogates: "l must have this mango at any cost." Then the rnind gives the execution to the organ of action (Karma-lndriya), feet. The feet take the man to the gardener.  Ahankara purchases the mango and eats. The impression of the mango remains in the mind and a Vasana (a tendency, a subtle desire) is formed in the mind.

The thought of enjoynment comes back to the mind later on through memory in the form of a subtle Vasana (desire). Vasana produces Sankalpa (thought and will to act) and the man wants to enjoy the taste of mango again.

This cycle of things, viz., desire, thought and action, is going on fiorn eternity and has brought bondage for man. When the Vasana  is repeated several times, it becomes a strong passion or strong desire. The man finds it difricult to control passion and becomes a slave of passion and senses (Indriyas). A strong sense-hankering is cailed Trishna. The difference between a desire and a vasana is that the Vasana is subtle and hidden in the subconscious mind, whereas desire is gross. The pleasure derived from the enjoyment of sensual objects brings attachment. Attachment is death. 

Attachrnent is Moha (Moha is infatuation and false identification and deluded attachment). The man, who is full of sense-Vasanas, is tied to various objects. Escape becomes difficult for him. Escape is possible by destroying these knots by knowedge of the Diretctor of this mental faltory who has kept up this show inside.

Self-esteem - Wikipedia



Self-esteem

People with a healthy level of self-esteem

1.       Firmly believe in certain values and principles, and are ready to defend them even when finding opposition, feeling secure enough to modify them in light of experience.[14]
2. Are able to act according to what they think to be the best choice,
3. Trust their own judgment, and not feeling guilty when others don't like their choice.[14]
4. Do not lose time worrying excessively about what happened in the past, nor about what could happen in the future.
5. They learn from the past and plan for the future, but live in the present intensely.[14]
6. Fully trust in their capacity to solve problems,
7. Do not hesitating after failures and difficulties.
8. They ask others for help when they need it.[14]
9. Consider themselves equal in dignity to others, rather than inferior or superior,
10. They accept differences in certain talents, personal prestige or financial standing.[14]
11. Take for granted that they are an interesting and valuable person for others, at least for those with whom they have a friendship.[14]
12. Resist manipulation,
13. Collaborate with others only if it seems appropriate and convenient.[14]
14. Admit and accept different internal feelings and drives, either positive or negative, revealing those drives to others only when they choose.[14]
15. Are able to enjoy a great variety of activities.[14]
16. Are sensitive to feelings and needs of others;
17. Respect generally accepted social rules,
18. Claim no right or desire to prosper at others' expense.[14]
19. Can work toward finding solutions and voice discontent without belittling themselves or others when challenges arise.[30]

Low self-esteem 


Low self-esteem can result from various factors, including genetic factors, physical appearance or weight, socioeconomic status, or peer pressure or bullying.[37]
A person with low self-esteem may show some of the following characteristics:[38]

Heavy self-criticism and dissatisfaction.[14]
Hypersensitivity to criticism with resentment against critics and feelings of being attacked.[14]
Chronic indecision and an exaggerated fear of mistakes.[14]
Excessive will to please and unwillingness to displease any petitioner.[14]
Perfectionism, which can lead to frustration when perfection is not achieved.[14]
Neurotic guilt, dwelling on and exaggerating the magnitude of past mistakes.[14]
Floating hostility and general defensiveness and irritability without any proximate cause.[14]
Pessimism and a general negative outlook.[14]
Envy, invidiousness, or general resentment.[14]
Sees temporary setbacks as permanent, intolerable conditions.[30] When given feedback, individuals with low self-esteem often take it personally, and can be devastated by it.
Low self-esteem individuals are very critical of themselves and depend on the approval of others for their own evaluation of self-worthiness.
 
They believe that a person's approval of them is dependent on their performance, whether it be academic, relationship, etc.

People with low self-esteem view their likeability in terms of successes: others will accept them if they succeed but will not if they fail.[39]

Abraham Maslow states that psychological health is not possible unless the essential core of the person is fundamentally accepted, loved and respected by others and by her or his self. Self-esteem allows people to face life with more confidence, benevolence and optimism, and thus easily reach their goals and self-actualize.[7] It allows a person to be more ambitious, but not with respect to possessions or success,[citation needed] but with respect to what they can experience emotionally, creatively and spiritually.[citation needed]

To develop self-esteem is to increase the capacity to be happy;[citation needed] self-esteem may make people convinced they deserve happiness.[7] Understanding this is fundamental, and universally beneficial, since the development of positive self-esteem increases the capacity to treat other people with respect, benevolence and goodwill,

OM! Atman es Sat-Chit-Ananda - Swami Sivananda



Atman es Sat-Chit-Ananda

Sat, Chit y Ananda son una misma cosa. Atman no tiene partes y es homogéneo. Las tres características Sat, Chit y Ananda no son distintas entre sí. Son coexistentes con Atman. Sat-Chit-Ananda significan el único Atman. Sat es Chit. Sat es Ananda. Chit es Sat. Chit es Ananda. Ananda es Sat. Ananda es Chit. No puedes dividir Sat-Chit-Ananda en tres entidades separadas, del mismo modo que no puedes separar la luz, el calor y la luminosidad del fuego.

Atman es Sat

Atman es Sat. Aquello que existe en el pasado, presente y futuro, que no tiene principio, medio ni fin, que es inmutable, que no está condicionado en el tiempo, espacio y causalidad, que existe durante Jagrat, Svapna y Sushupti, que es de la naturaleza de una esencia homogénea (Sada Ekarasa, Sada Ekarupa) es Sat. Esto se encuentra en Atman. Los Srutis declaran enfáticamente: Sat sólo era anterior a la evolución de este universo.

Atman es Chit

Atman es Chit porque brilla por sí mismo sin la ayuda de ninguna otra luz e ilumina todo el universo con su propia luz.

La mente es finita e inerte. No tiene inteligencia independiente. No es auto-luminosa. Su brillo lo toma prestado de la Luz de la fuente. Está sujeta a diversas limitaciones y cambios. No es más que un producto inerte de la materia sutil. Sólo el Atman es la fuente de Chit. La mente también es percibida por Chit. La mente tiene un principio y un fin.

El universo externo, por muy variado y grande que sea, es después de todo sólo materia inerte. No puede ser objeto de nuestra percepción a menos que arrojemos sobre él el flujo de luz de nuestra conciencia; nunca puede conocernos. Sólo es iluminado por nosotros. Nunca puede iluminarnos.

Atman es Ananda

Ananda es esa dicha que es eterna, sin causa e incomparable. Es la verdadera naturaleza de Atman.

Pero la dicha suprema de Brahman no tiene grados. Es infinita o ilimitada porque no hay nada superior a ella. La dicha del sueño profundo no tiene grados.

La dicha de Brahman no puede expresarse adecuadamente con palabras. Tiene que ser sentida y realizada a través de la realización directa del Ser. Aunque la experimentamos, no es una experiencia como el disfrute de un objeto, porque entonces eres una encarnación de la dicha misma.

Todas las miserias llegan a su fin cuando uno realiza (se da cuenta) del Atman. Por lo tanto, el Atman debe ser una encarnación de la dicha. Sat es Chit. Sat también es Ananda.

Aquel que ha realizado este Sat-Chit-Ananda Atman es un sabio liberado. No tiene nada más que aprender, no tiene nada más que hacer, no tiene nada más que ganar. Todos sus deseos están satisfechos. Ha obtenido todos los mundos. Se ha liberado de las garras de la muerte. Ha alcanzado la inmortalidad.

I'm! Self-awareness the foundation of Liberation - by Atman Nityananda


Self-awareness the foundation of Liberation
by Atman Nityananda

Being Self-aware moment to moment is an art that enables us to avoid identification with the mind and sensory impressions and live in peace, plenitude and freedom!

By dwelling (as firmly and deeply as possible) in inner silence we avoid identification with mental and emotional formations (desires, emotions, lust, likes, dislikes, etc.), we can manage them and let them go or make them subside and through prayer and the power of the mantra eliminate (diminish) their energy.
