Dear Ramji,
Sorry, I was busy with that mithya shit, because my brother is married to a Russian and that war is a big topic everywhere.
You said one sentence that really went in: “The I am should be enough for you”. I stick to that like hell. My new mantra now. Maybe it really as simple as that. Just stay in the I am.
Ramji: Yes, it is as simple as that. If people knew how simple it was, the world would be a very lovely place. But even though just being always makes us want to live another day even when life is painful, people seem to be attached to their suffering and focus on the future, imagining that relief will come someday. But relief that comes, goes. Perhaps suffering gives them an identity that brings some kind of support.
I need some kind of sadhana again. Without sadhana, my mind is not controlled.
You said to just look at what is present every minute, in your mind. It totally pulled me back to that being here, now, that instant which is me, I, consciousness.
Ramji: Good. But you are not an instant. You are the eternal knower of all instants. People are in such a hurry to fix the world when their own minds need fixing.
I started also with meditation again. There is so much shit to clean up in my mind which is far away from sattvic or pure. But your satsang, since that interaction with you, I am so quiet and peaceful. Feels like I just don’t care anymore. Nothing ever can happen to me.
Ramji: Good for you, Hendrick! It means that you are assimilating the knowledge of who you are. Keep up the meditation, karma yoga, etc.
And, yes, I will not bring that mithya shit to your satsang again. I just was very unaware and, honestly, wanted to hear what you think about Putin, the bomb, and all that. And you reaction made me very happy and made me laugh out loud, loved it! Hope to see you again in Berlin soon, or lets go to heaven together! 😉
Ramji: It’s OK. I got the feeling that you were just a bit tamasic. What pisses me off is the people who write because they want to argue with me. Some want to make sure I have the “right” view, meaning how they see things. I’m kind of glad the war has taken the virus/vaccine issue more or less off the internet. Of course the die-hards will keep pontificating. War, particularly this kind of war, is not good news, although the upside will become clear eventually, but at least it’s new news. It’s fine to have well-reasoned opinions but it’s not fine to identify one’s self with one’s opinions and create duality thereby. Now the rebels have a better cause to rally behind. The vaccine issue was a complete non-starter. Billions of doses have been delivered and the human race continues to thrive. So you are forgiven. 🙂
Much love,
Ramji
