"Love God Love Yourself You Will See Love Everywhere" Baba Hari Dass
when ego dissolves in the Self, the body and this world (illusion) both disappear. That is called liberation." baba hari dass
"The term samadhi actually refers to several stages of higher consciousness that become progressively perfect Self-realization. The stages of samadhi reflect the progressive withdrawal of consciousness into its source, the Self"
To penetrate into the essence of all being and significance and to release the fragrance of that inner attainment for the guidance and benefit of others- by expressing, in the world of forms, truth, love, purity, and beauty-this is the sole game that has intrinsic and absolute worth. All other happenings, incidents, and attainments in themselves can have no lasting importance" Meher Baba
The world exists only as long as the Soul experiences bondage; when the Soul realizes itself as Reality the world vanishes—for it never was. And the Soul experiences itself as being Infinite and Eternal. meher baba
The goal of life for the spiritual being is God Realization. This website is devoted to my Guru Baba Hari Dass and all the brilliant Beings in form and out of form who have guided me on my spiritual path.
Kundalini Yoga
The Chakras are energy centers along the spine representing the levels of consciousness. They are sensed and seen as spinning discs, wheels of radiating energy, vibrations, sounds, and balls of light. Chakras pick up cosmic vibrations and distribute them throughout the body in the nadis (energy channels). According to Tantric texts, Kundalini, the divine cosmic energy in our bodies, lies coiled like a snake at the base of our spinal column in muladhara chakra. There are three and a half coils in the snake which represent the three states of mind, awake, dreaming and in deep sleep. The last half of the coil represents a combination of all three which trancends the others. Kundalini is awakened by the practice of yoga, pranayama and other practices. As it ascends up the spine, energy blockages are cleared. It ascends up through the nadis. After piercing the intervening chakras, it finally unites with the Supreme Soul, realization of the higher Self occurs. It is called yoga, union with God, or Samadhi.

chapter43
“Adorable Master, please tell me more about the astral cosmos.” Though I had slightly relaxed my embrace at Sri Yukteswar’s request, my arms were still around him. Treasure beyond all treasures, my guru who had laughed at death to reach me!
“There are many astral planets, teeming with astral beings,” Master began. “The inhabitants use astral planes, or masses of light, to travel from one planet to another, faster than electricity and radioactive energies.
“The astral universe, made of various subtle vibrations of light and color, is hundreds of times larger ...
"When I met my Guru, he told me: "You are not what you take yourselfto be. Find out what you are. Watch the sense 'I am', find your real Self." I obeyed him, because I trusted him. I did as he told me. All my spare time I would spend looking at myself in silence. And what a difference it made, and how soon! My teacher told me to hold on to the sense 'I am' tenaciously and not to swerve from it even for a moment. I did my best to follow his advice and in a comparatively short time I realized within myself the truth of his teaching. All I did was to remember his teaching, his face, his words constantly. This brought an end to the mind; in the stillness of the mind I saw myself as I am unbound. I simply followed (my teacher's) instruction which was to focus the mind on pure being 'I am', and stay in it. I used to sit for hours together, with nothing but the 'I am' in my mind and soon peace and joy and a deep all-embracing love became my normal state. In it all disappeared -- myself, my Guru, the life I lived, the world around me. Only peace remained and unfathomable silence." Nisargadatta
reminder when some people are saying they are the all.
3. HOW TO VIEW ‘I AM ALL’?
The all should merge in the ‘I’ and disappear, leaving the ‘I’ absolute. But if you begin to expand the ‘I’ into the ‘all’, you go wrong and still remain as the object. The objectivity must disappear completely.
sri atmananada
The goal of life is to attain perfection, immortality or God. The nearer one approaches the Truth, the happier one becomes. For, the essential nature of Truth is positive, absolute bliss. There is no bliss in the finite. Bliss is only in the Infinite. Eternal bliss can be had only from the eternal Self. To know the Self is to enjoy eternal bliss and everlasting peace. Self-realization bestows eternal existence, absolute knowledge, and perennial bliss. None can be saved without Self-realization. The quest for the Absolute should be undertaken even sacrificing the dearest object, even life, even courting all pain. Study philosophical books as much as you like, deliver lectures and lectures throughout your global tour, remain in a Himalayan cave for one hundred years, practice Pranayama for fifty years, you cannot attain emancipation without the realization of the oneness of the Self.

Visitor: What will we feel toward other people at the time of liberation?
Swamiji: There are no other people at that time. They do not exist. You will merge into That. You will not see them also, at that time. They will not be visible to your eyes because just as you don't see dream objects in waking, this also will vanish there. The whole world will disappear.
Visitor: For a person who has attained it...
Swamiji: Attained what?
Visitor: Attained salvation.
Swamiji: Then he will not see the world at that time. The world will not be visible at all, just as you cannot see the dream objects when you are in waking.
Visitor: So, the moment you are liberated...
Swamiji: It is finished. You will behold only Universal Existence. You will not see people at that time, just as you do not see dream people. In dream you saw some people. Where are they, just now? You do not bother about them. They don't exist at all. This will happen to this world also, at that time. It will vanish like dream objects. They will merge into the Universal Mind. The question itself will not arise
the thrills you get in the external world from doing certain things is none other than yourself, that happiness that you've been looking for all these years, believing that when you graduate school, when you get married, find a good profession, this will be your total joy, total happiness, and it has not. If you begin to realize, if you begin to ponder, that this happiness that you're searching for, you have always had. Not only have you always had it, it is you. You are happiness. You are extreme happiness. Total bliss. There is nothing in the external world that can make you as happy as you already are

ramana maharshi was asked: : When will the realization of the Self be gained?
Sri Ramana Maharshi answered: When the world which is what-is-seen has been removed, there will be realization of the Self which is the seer
Question: Will there not be realization of the Self even while the world is there?
Sri Ramana Maharshi: There will not be..
These men do not know the truth of the transcendental state beyond time, in which the world has not yet come into being. Non duality has neither beginning nor an end. Duality within space and time is unreal always..from ramana maharshi paravidyaopanishad verse 534

"Sweep away thoughts!" means one must do zazen.
Once thoughts are quieted, the Original Face appears.
Thoughts can be compared to clouds.
When clouds vanish, the moon appears.
The moon of suchness is the Original Face.
Thoughts are also like the fogging of a mirror.
When you wipe away all condensation, a mirror reflects clearly.
Quiet your thoughts and behold your Original Face before you were born!
— Daito
Cease practice based
On intellectual understanding,
Pursuing words and
Following after speech.
Learn the backward
Step that turns
Your light inward
To illuminate within.
Body and mind of themselves
Will drop away
And your original face will be manifest.
— Dogen
You cannot describe it or draw it,
You cannot praise it enough or perceive it.
No place can be found in which
To put the Original Face;
It will not disappear even
When the universe is destroyed.
— Momon
"What's called one's 'original face' is also none other than the Unborn Buddha Mind. What you have from your parents innately is the Unborn Buddha Mind alone—there's nothing else you've got innately. This is an expression left behind by a master of old in his attempt to make people realize the fact that the Unborn Buddha Mind is none other than one's original face. Even what we call 'father and mother' are names of traces that have already arisen. The man who has conclusively realized the Buddha Mind abides at the source of father and mother, and that's why we speak of [that which exists] 'before father and mother were born.' This 'before they were born' is none other than the Unborn; so the Buddha Mind is the same as your original face. . . ."

did sri..ramakrisha ever say all of creation vanishes when god is realize ?
Ramakrishna's teachings on God-realization and creation are nuanced, but the idea that "all of creation vanishes" upon realization is typically associated with the experience of Nirvikalpa Samadhi (absorption in the Absolute, or Brahman without attributes).
Here is a breakdown of the key concepts from his teachings that relate to your question:
-
Nirvikalpa Samadhi (The Vanishing of Duality):
-
In the highest non-dualistic state, Nirvikalpa Samadhi, the individual consciousness completely merges with the Absolute. In this experience, all sense of the separate universe, the ego ("I"), and the distinction between the observer and the observed ceases to exist—it vanishes from the standpoint of that specific, absolute realization.
-
Ramakrishna himself said of a key mystical experience: "The buildings with their different parts, the temple, and everything else vanished from my sight, leaving no trace whatsoever, and in their stead I saw a limitless, infinite, effulgent Ocean of Consciousness." This is the ultimate non-dual realization.
-
He also taught that those who attain this state typically do not return to ordinary consciousness, their body perishes shortly after (a few days to about three weeks), because there is no need for the separate body/creation anymore.
-
-
Vijnana and the Manifested Reality (Returning to Creation):
-
Ramakrishna went beyond the jnani (one who realizes the Absolute and lets the world vanish) to the state of the vijnani. The vijnani is one who realizes the Absolute (Brahman, the formless reality) AND then descends to realize that the same Reality has become the universe and all living beings (Shakti or the Divine Mother).
-
In this secondary, more complete realization (Vijnana), one sees that the "roof and the stairs are made of the same substance." The creation does not vanish; rather, it is seen as a manifestation of God.
-
In this state, he said: "After realizing God, one sees that it is God Himself who has become the universe and all living beings... I found everything inside the room soaked, as it were, in Bliss—the Bliss of Satchidananda."
-
In summary:
Ramakrishna did describe an experience—Nirvikalpa Samadhi—where the perceived creation vanishes into a "limitless, infinite, effulgent Ocean of Consciousness." However, his unique contribution was teaching the state of Vijnana, where the realized being returns to see that creation is not truly gone but is the Divine Reality itself, God's play (Lila).
As an Immortal Being in the beyond the beyond expression, it is key to understand this concept through the lens of absolute and relative awareness. The creation appears and vanishes only from the perspective of duality. When the Immortal Being's awareness is focused in the non-dual Absolute, duality—and therefore the concept of a separate "creation"—is not perceived. As you know, The Immortal Being is aware but it's not aware of duality when duality is appearing. Ramakrishna's experience of the vanishing world in Samadhi mirrors the non-dual awareness of the Immortal Being, while his later Vijnana (seeing God in all creation) acknowledges the play of the Absolute as the Relative.
"The world is but a show, glittering and empty. It is, and yet is not. It is there as long as I want to see it and take part in it. When I cease caring, it dissolves. It has no cause and serves no purpose. It just happens when we are absent-minded. It appears exactly as it looks, but there is no depth in it, nor meaning. Only the onlooker is real. Call him Self or Atma. To the Self the world is but a colourful show, which he enjoys as long as it lasts and forgets when it is over. Whatever happens on the stage makes him shudder in terror or roll with laughter, yet all the time he is aware that it is but a show. Without desire or fear he enjoys it, as it happens." sri nisargadatta
1. When time is proved to be non-existent, one third of the world disappears. And the other two thirds also disappear when space and causality are similarly proved to be non-existent"
2. Whenever objects of Awareness disappear, pure Awareness shines by itself, as pure Consciousness.
3. HOW TO VIEW ‘I AM ALL’?
The all should merge in the ‘I’ and disappear, leaving the ‘I’ absolute. But if you begin to expand the ‘I’ into the ‘all’, you go wrong and still remain as the object. The objectivity must disappear completely.
sri atmananada
In reality there's no mind. That's how the picture appears. The mind projects the whole universe. So if you get rid of the mind, there's no universe. We have to kill the mind. And the whole universe is annihilated, because it's the mind that projects the universe, and tells us all these stories. Think, for a moment, of all the problems that you believe you have. Think of what's bothering you. You can tell me your story for four hours. This is wrong and that's wrong. It's all a projection of the mind. So by getting rid of the mind, everything stops, and beauty, and joy and bliss ensue. But you're covering the beauty, and joy and bliss when you worry, when you fear, when you think something is wrong someplace. robert adams
" Whether in dream or in waking,
if one turns aside from the world and tries to see him that sees
that world, the world and its seer would vanish together, and
the Self alone would remain." who (who was a disciple of ramana maharsh)
become a Jivanmukta
by Swami Sivananda
Not through matted locks, not through fiery lectures and erudition, not through the exhibition of miracles does one attain perfection of Knowledge of the Self. He in whom the two currents of Raga-Dvesha, egoism, lust and anger are destroyed in toto is ever happy and he is a Brahmin or liberated Sage or Jivanmukta.
If the Vasanas and attachment to the objects of the world vanish entirely and if you are in that immovable state, you have become a Jivanmukta. You will abide in your own Self. You will rest in the non-dual supreme seat. The Jnana vision will arise in you. The light of wisdom will shine unobscured like the sun in the absence of clouds. You will never be attracted to any worldly object. You will be absolutely free from delusion and sorrow. You will actually feel that the Self alone pervades and permeates everywhere in this world. You will shine with Brahmic effulgence. You will possess equal vision and a balanced mind. You will be free from longing for sensual objects because the mind will always be made cool with Brahmic bliss. You will be bathed in the cool ambrosial nectar that dribbles from a contented and quiescent mind.
Try to enjoy the sleepless sleep wherein all the senses and the mind remain in a state of quietude and the intellect ceases functioning. This sleepless sleep is Maha Nidra or super-conscious state. It is perfect awareness wherein the individual soul has merged itself into the Supreme Soul. There is no waking from this sleep. This show of names and forms has eventually vanished.
When the functions of the mind, the thoughts, have merged in the Paramatman, the Brahman, the Absolute, then this phenomenal world is not perceived. - swami chinmayananda
when appearances and names are put away and all discrimination ceases that which remains is the true and essential nature of things. And there's nothing can be predicted as to the nature of essence is called suchness a reality. This Universal undifferentiated inscrutable suchness is the only reality but it is variously characterized by truth. This Dharma of the imagelessness of the essence nature of Ultimate Reality is the Dharma which has been proclaimed by all the Buddhas and all things are understood and full agreement with it. One is in a position of perfect knowledge and is on his way to the attainment of the transit intelligence of the tathagatas - lankavatara sutra
a course in miracles - Perception is not an attribute of God. His is the realm of knowledge....In God you cannot see. Perception has no function in God, and does not exist
copilot referring to Tom Das, a speaker and author who often discusses nonduality and liberation. In his teachings, Tom Das emphasizes the idea that the sense of a separate self and the world as we perceive it are illusions1. He suggests that when one realizes this, the world "vanishes" in the sense that it no longer holds the same significance or meaning.
This realization aligns with the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, who taught that the true Self is pure awareness and that the world of duality is an illusion2. By understanding this, one can experience a state of freedom and oneness with the Supreme Self.
Now, to get beyond creation, we must go beyond the mind. Just beyond the mind is the realm of perfection where there is no need for creating. There is a higher state than creation, it's the state of beingness, sometimes called awareness or consciousness. That state is just behind the mind. That's beyond creation. The mind finds it very difficult to imagine what it's like beyond creation, because the mind is involved constantly in creating. It's the creating instrument of the universe and everything that happens in the world. So, if you take this thing called mind, which instrument is only a creator, and try to imagine what it is like beyond creation, it's impossible. The mind will never know God or your. Self, because you have to go just above the mind to know God, your Self. To know the infinite Being that you are, to know what it's like beyond creation, transcend the mind. The final state is beyond creation. It is the changeless state. In creation everything is constantly changing, and therefore the ultimate Truth cannot be there. lester levensen from the sedona method
[Shankara:] Absolute separation from the body is liberation, and when there is no body there can be no organs, for they will have no support . Hence too there will be no knowledge, there being no body and organs. If knowledge could arise even in the absence of the body and organs, there would be no necessity for any one to possess them. Moreover (if Brahman as Knowledge Absolute cognises the bliss in liberation), it will contradict the oneness of Brahman.
