Subject: [K-list] Self-Realization 
From: Harsha
  
On 2002/11/02  09:30, Harsha posted thus to the K-list: Although much is written about Enlightenment and 
mystical experiences and so forth, Self-Realization is 
actually a simple thing.
 
As T.S. Eliot has said, and I paraphrase, we come back 
to where we started and see it as if for the first 
time. It is actually even more basic....It is a place, 
when we recognize it, we see that we never even left 
it, nor can we leave it to go elsewhere. Such is the 
beauty of Sat-Chit-Ananda. It Knows It Self By It Self 
and Through It Self.
 
Almost a quarter of a century ago, through the grace 
of Bhagavan Ramana, I realized the nature of the Self. 
I remember some of the thoughts which flashed in me 
intuitively after the great recognition...."Of course, 
of course, it is only me, what else, what else, what 
else did I expect, what else could it have possibly 
been!"  Paradoxically, the obvious had become obvious.
 
On that day, I truly realized how ordinary I was in 
every way and it filled my heart with gladness and 
joy. And knowing my own Heart, and realizing that it 
was the One Heart, all the scriptures made sense, and 
all the teachings lost their hold. Over time, it 
seemed like my heart was some leaky faucet that could 
no longer be contained with love seeping out in 
drips.... little drops, little drops, big drops......
 
If we see clearly with the mind, the nature of the 
mind, we see that the ordinary mind is the Buddha 
Mind.
 
So there is not much to do but to breathe in and 
breathe out in gratitude, love, and awareness and go 
about your daily life.
 
Love to all 
Harsha
