i started my journey with simple meditation and i read alot..later i added japa, repitition of a name of god, which there are many..i used ram ram ram..i practiced the yamas and niyamas, pratyahara, and samadhi ,and later did guru yoga which is meditation on a god-realized being...mine was baba hari dass...join my facebook group where i post some profound text everyday that will remind you to realize the most important factor in your life..the real YOU..
welcome to my pages about god-realization which is the culmination of all awakenings - apparently there are quite a few.. but the final awakening is called liberation..
when you get liberated all of anything that is created including the you you think you are- vanishes..there is something that remains..it the Immortal You that was never created. its always been, it will always be and is now..my guru called it Supreme Energy. the buddha didnt name it but described It as unborn unmade uncondtioned and unbecome...
theres no fast way to get enlightened. if you havent been prepared by doing spiritual practices your chances are slim to none..dont let teachers tell you its easy..its not..dont be fooled..
if you chose my way and don't feel to rushed to become enlightened you would read meher babas *god speaks* and his *discourses*..you will learn about the the evolution and involution of who and what you are...
if you are in a hurry maybe chose to go with the teachings of ramana maharshi..then later read nisargadatta..maybe robert adams.
of course reading the scriptures from india which is where these teaching were first written about is great and will help you alot on your path...the Upanishads..
