ram dass: "Only that in you which is me can hear what I'm saying"
me: you are Me.. you are God.. you are Supreme Self...God Guru Self are all the same...Atman=Me
infinite intelligence gave the *cosmic mystery* a name...god...and instructed who you really are to ..go figure it out...so we went on a long journey, becoming gases and rocks and plants and insects and birds and animals and eventually humans...after a bizillion years and millions of dramas, who we really are got tired of it all and decided to go *home* so to speak. going home is enlightenment..back to the Source..
meditating on nowness, in my opinion, is a beginner practice...it may lead to the no-me stage of no realization...self remembrance is beneficial even if you start remembering just your body then move on to the witness awareness then eventually the real I...your ATman..
