The True Seeker....How rare he is
Knowing he is the Self,
He acts accordingly
And is never fearful.
For he knows he is the Self,
One without two,
The Lord of all creation.
"The Heart of Awareness"
a translation of the
- Ashtavakra Gita -
Ashtavakra Gita
"Let your reward be in the actions themselves;
never in their fruits. So be not moved by the
fruits of actions; nor let inaction dewell in you.
Abiding under the Rule Yoga and casting off
attachment, O Wealth-Winner, perform your
actions, indifferent alike to gain or loss.
Under this Rule of the Understanding a man
frees himself even in this life from good deeds
and ill. Therefore set yourself to the Rule; skill
in actions is the Rule. For under the Rule of the
Understanding wise men abandon the fruits of
actions, loose themselves from the fetters of
birth, and reach that state which is beyond all
ill. When your understanding shall have passed
through the turmoil of confusion, then alone
will you come to indifference as to the things
you hear and have heard. When your under-
standing shall stand firm and moveless in aware-
ness of the eternal Soul, then you will attain
the Rule."

"Where there is a duality, as it were, there one sees another; there
one smells another; there one tastes another; there one speaks to
another. . . But where everything has become just one's own self,
then whereby and whom would one see? Then whereby and
whom would one smell? then whereby and whom would one speak?
then whereby and whom would one hear? then whereby and whom
would one think? then whereby and whom would one touch? then
whereby and whom would one understand?"
[Brihadaranyaka 2.4.14]
"As a man, when in the embrace of his beloved wife, knows nothing
within or without, so this person when in the embrace of the
intelligent Soul knows nothing within or without."

Mahakali - The Goddess Who Rules Over Time
Meditation on the Goddess
hrIM
When again their vision returned, the gods beheld
That light appearing now in the form of a woman, charming and
delightful.
She was exceedingly beautiful of limb, a maiden in the freshness of
youth.
Her full, upraised breasts put to shame the swelling buds of the
lotus.
Her girdle and anklets jingled with clusters of tinkling bells.
She was adorned with a necklace, armlets, and bracelets of gold.
Her throat resplendent with a chain of priceless gems.
The locks on her cheeks shimmered like black bees swarming on delicate
Ketaka blooms.
An exquisite line of down on her midriff enhanced the charm of her
shapely hips.
She was chewing spiced betel mixed with bits of mint camphor.
Pendant earrings of shining gold graced her lotus face.
Above long eyebrows her forehead shone with an image of the crescent
moon.
Her eyes were red lotus petals, her nose dignified, her lips like
nectar.
Her teeth resembled buds of white jasmine; a string of pearls adorned
her neck.
Her crescent-shaped crown sparkled with jewels; she was bedecked with
ornaments shining like new moons.
A garland of jasmine flowers brightened her luxuriant hair.
Her forehead sported a saffron dot, while her three eyes reflected her
playful mood.
Three-eyed and four-armed, she held a noose and goad while gesturing
her beneficence and assurance of safety.
She was dressed in red and appeared lustrous like blooms of the
pomegranate.
Richly adorned in garments all suited for love, she was worshipped by
all the gods.
Satisying all desires, she is the Mother of all, the Deluder of all.
The Mother's kindly face, so gracious, displayed a tender smile on the
lotus mouth.
This embodiment of unfeigned compassion the gods beheld in their
presence.
Seeing her, the embodiment of compassion, the entire host of gods
bowed low,
Unable to speak, choking on tears in silence.
Struggling to regain their composure, their necks bending in devotion,
Their eyes brimming with tears of loving joy, they glorified the World
Mother with hymns...

Bhuvanesvari
Revealer of the Devi Gita
3. Through her power of ignorance,
she shows herself as the world,
like a rope appearing as a serpent,
wreath, and the like.
Through her power of knowledge,
she dissolves the world back into herself.
We glorify her, Ruler of the Universe.
7. Fixing the mind upon me as the Goddess
transcending space and time,
One quickly merges with me through
realizing the oneness
of the soul and Brahman.

24. I bow to Lord vishNu who has the three worlds as His body. The
Earth is His feet, and the sky His navel. Wind is His breath, and the
Sun and the Moon are His eyes. Directions are His ears, and the
Heaven is His head. Fire is His face and ocean His abdomen. In Him is
situated the universe with diverse kinds of Gods, men, birds, cattle,
serpents, gandharvas and daityas (demons)- all sporting in a charming way.

Hail to You, O Mother Ganga, the River Goddess ...
You are the Holy Mother, giver of all happiness
In Your lap, the mind attains peace
You are verily the Brahman!
O Mother, by virtue of Your graciousness,
Your devotees find the right path in life and life beyond
Those who chant your name regularly are relieved of misery
and win liberation.

Devi, the Great Goddess, said: "I am Manifest Divinity, Unmanifest Divinity, and Transcendent Divinity. I am Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, as well as Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati. I am the Sun and I am the Stars, and I am also the Moon. I am all animals and birds, and I am the outcaste as well, and the thief. I am the low person of dreadful deeds, and the great person of excellent deeds. I am Female, I am Male, and I am Neuter."

"O Devi, you are the measure and you measure. You are beyond
measure and measurer. You are one in many forms. You are the form
of the universe. I bow to you."
Kaulavali Tantra
"According to the Tantra, the Ultimate Reality is Chit, or Consciousness, which is identical with Sat, or Being, and with Ananda, or Bliss. This Ultimate Reality, Satchidananda, Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute, is identical with the Reality preached in the Vedas. And man is identical with this Reality; but under the influence of maya, or illusion, he has forgotten his true nature. He takes to be real a merely apparent world of subject and object, and this error is the cause of his bondage and suffering. The goal of spiritual discipline is the rediscovery of his true identity with the divine Reality."

"Mother, Thy light stops not for the saint or the sinner; it animates
the lover and the murderer." "Mother is ever manifesting through all.
The light is not polluted by what it shines on, nor benefited by it.
The light is ever pure, ever changeless. Behind every creature is the
"Mother", pure, lovely, never changing." "Mother, manifested as light in
all beings, we bow down to Thee!" "She is equally in suffering, hunger,
pleasure, sublimity." "When the bee sucks honey, the Lord is eating.
Knowing that the Lord is everywhere, the sages give up praising and
blaming. Know that nothing can hurt you. How? Are you not free? Are
you not Ātman? He is the Life of our lives, the hearing of our ears, the
sight of our eyes."
- Vivekananda

"Principles exist; we do not create them, we only discover them. . . . Religion consists solely in realization. Doctrines are methods, not religion. All the different religions are but applications of the one religion adapted to suit the requirements of different nations. Theories only lead to fighting; thus the name of God that ought to bring peace has been the cause of half the bloodshed of the world. Go to the direct source. Ask God what He is. Unless He answers, He is not; but every religion teaches that He does answer."
