What is the nature of Awareness?
The nature of Awareness is existence-consciousness-bliss.
When will the realization of the Self be gained?
When the world which is what-is-seen has been removed, there will be realization of the Self
which is the seer.
Will there not be realization of the Self even while the world is there (taken as real)?
There will not be.
Why?
The seer and the object seen are like the rope and the snake. Just as the knowledge of the rope
which is the substrate will not arise unless the false knowledge of the illusory serpent goes, so the
realization of the Self which is the substrate will not be gained unless the belief that the world is
real is removed.
I was busy getting the Internet run in my apartement. The accesspoint the guy installed here looks very old and shabby. It’s just like everything in India, improvisations and cables are hanging around everywhere, hmm sometimes it is the same in Portugal.
In the meantime I had some monkey visitors on my balcony and around.
On the way to Tasty Cafe for having lunch I met Jonathan, the Danish guy. We arranged to meet tomorrow for dinner in Sathya’s Cafe, it’s Pizza day on Wednesday on Friday. Nice to have something else sometimes than Indian food, although I really love Indian food. For lunch in Tasty Cafe I had veggie lasangne and some salad, delicious. Not the cheapest place but kind of special food here and quite original equipped.
Later I was in the Ashram as usual, joining the chanting from the temple next to Samadi Hall. There is also Bhagawan’s mother’s shrine. It is very relaxing just sitting and meditating when they are chanting and later singing. I will try to record the sound with my phone one of the next days.
