786. . . the sufi and the swami – Om Allah !
sufi: namaste oh great Swami Shivananda Giri
oh great being of sanatana dharma
please tell me the way to realization
In the forgetting of your true and original nature in order to incarnate as an apparently separate entity, the “illusion” of maya arose
once the illusion is seen for what it is and you remember and recognize the natural condition, the hardest part is done
what is the way to remember this original nature
there are many, any of the “mystical” paths all reveal the same thing through varying means
just depends which way is more appropriate for you
what is the shortest most effective means oh great Guru remover of darkness
doesn’ work that way
the only variable important for you is does it touch you deeply
find that feeling at the feet of a Freed One who has perceivd Truth through that path and then follow what they say
what is the most important aspect of the path
your dedication to it
your single pointed focus on the goal
all the means and methods reveal the same stuff
they just speak of it in different ways
the Sufi Master, the Yoga Master, the Taoist Master all know the same thing to be True
may the light om om sat chi ananda shine in you as you eternaly oh great being of Light
11:40am
they just took differing trails up the same mountain and reached the only peak there is to be reached
all of them inwardly witnessed the same sorts of phenomenon
whatever necessary for their varying karma and dharma
its really not a gain of anything at all but direct and conscious Knowledge
of what is eternally and infinitely the case
The goal is the falling away of the concepts and limitations
this is accomplished best, in my view, by meditation and japa
Guided by One who has already done it
swami : is this making sense?
sufi: yes it is as clear as the blue sky
like the sky, any conditions can appear within it when the circumstnces are correct
yet the sky is never affected by any of the appearances of change within it
“GOD” exists within you as YOU
you have spent lifetime after lifetime seeking only That
all the while thinking you are other than That and separate
this is the way suffering arises
this conversation took place between sufi ananda and Swami Shivananda Giri

“He who is supremely devoted to the Lord and has the same devotion to his guru, to him alone will the truths explained herein clearly reveal themselves.” Guru Gita vs 19
The Guru Gita infaticly states that the Guru and God are One ! In this verse the Gita is asking the devotee to have the same devotion for his Guru as he does for God. Man is the microcosm of God. All that is manifest in God is manifest in/as man. Cheikh Bawa Muhayadeen has said “man is God in the forgetting of himself.
In the absence of the ego or the concept of a false ‘i” MAN exists in a state of Oneness with God. the very idea “i exist” is a falsehood. the Only I that exist and has true BEing is the all inclusive infinite state of the I AM GOD consciousness. the very fact that this I AM is the Only consciousness shows its relationship to man because man shares in the possibility of the awareness of the true I AM GOD state. When man comes to know with certainty his oneness with the I AM state, Man is a Guru/God.
In sandskrit the word Gu means darkness. the word Ru means remover. thus the word Guru means remover of darkness. Light is the only remover of darkness. Light is God. the Guru, having the power to remove darkness is the manifestation of the Light of God made flesh. “and the word dwelt amougst men and became flesh.” – Holy Bible
In the Bagavad Gita Lord Krishna proclaims there is no difference between Him and the non-manifest Brahman. Lord Krishna emaplains to Arjuna that the way to merge with Him is through Bhakti(love-devotion). the disciple HU has the same devoation to his Guru as he does with God will ultimately destroy his ego and merg/melt in/with God-Allah-Brahman!
