_______________________________________________________________________________
Every one wants to achieve and remain in comfortable position,
That comfortable position is granted to you every day,
Which you experience in your state of sleep.
Try to retain that state of comfortable peaceful position ,
While you are in awakened state also.
That is enough For You.
You can remain in that state through self-inquiry.
*******
Graceful assistance is always there for You,
The only difference is you are not making use of it.
After sometime from Now you will go to sleep,
Then After arising from Your sleep in the morning,
You will say that “ I had a pleasant comfortable Sleep."
Whatever is there in that sleep,
Which you have experienced, is always ever present.
That is your natural State.
But you have not adopted those characteristics.
So now start adopting whatever you have experienced in that state of
sleep;
That is “Lord Shiva” for You.
Are You not there in Your sleep ?
Have You sensed any shape and form for you in that sleep ?
Have You remained in your form while in Sleep ? .
You are there.
That “I” which is there in your sleep is also present Now.
In Your Experience of sleep You remained without body.
Now also you are beyond the scope of that body. It means the real You
is not Body.
Because of non- existence of body only you are comfortable.
Because of non-existence of any thought about body,
You have experienced a pleasant sleep.
******
That “I “ is present now also.
Whatever remains firmly in stable state is the real true nature.
In Your sleep, body is not there.
But the experiences of comforts are there.
That bliss is existing now also.
That true self has no body.
In this way if you don’t have body, how can Lord Shiva will have that.
If you have body,Lord Shiva is also having body.
If you are not there, he is also not there.
Lord Shiva Means a form of Eternal Bliss.
**************
A lamp gets extinguished when the Oil is over.
Like that when the physical body falls with degeneration,
The person who has experienced his true state and present in his true
self,
Will remain in Him by Himself.
Like that oil, as long as the destiny is there, with the light of that
physical body,
With its beautiful form, with your atomic body with its intelligence,
You will be shining brilliantly.
When the accumulated fortune is over,
Like the veils which are placed around that lamp are falling down,
Those bodies will fall down.
Even after the curtains around the lamp are down,
The lamp which is there inside will be shining on its own.
Similarly a self realized person will remain in his true self
Even after leaving all types of his bodies.
--- Sri Ramana Maharshi.
