Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation \\\ Words of Wisdom - July 15, 2026 🌞

 

"Let me explore with you another way of defining who you are. Look at the cloud again, and become aware of the sky that surrounds the cloud. I invite you to identify your awareness with the sky. In your awareness there is your life that is cloud. In other words, your whole concept of who you think you are, all your sense experiences of your body, all of the stuff of ‘me,’ is all the cloud. And the cloud is being appreciated or embraced or carried by the sky. The sky is just awareness. It’s much easier to describe the cloud than to describe the sky. The sky doesn’t have a beginning or an end, and it really doesn’t have qualities, it’s just sky. That’s the quality of awareness. It doesn’t have a trip. The sky doesn’t have a trip, it’s just hanging out."   Source: Ram Dass – Here and Now – Ep. 143 – Awareness is the Sky

Via FB \\\ Ashtavakra Gita (Verses 1-10)

 Ashtavakra Gita (Verses 1-10)

Verse 1

King Janaka said:

O Master, how does one attain Self-knowledge?

How is liberation achieved?

And how does one attain detachment?

Please explain these to me.

Verse 2

Ashtavakra said:

Dear one, if you desire liberation,

abandon sense pleasures as you would poison.

Focus on forgiveness, sincerity, compassion,

contentment, and truth as if they were nectar.

Verse 3

You are neither earth, nor water,

nor fire, nor air, nor sky.

To attain liberation,

know yourself as the witness of these,

whose nature is pure consciousness.

Verse 4

If you stop identifying yourself as the body

and rest in your true nature as pure awareness,

then right now you will become

happy, peaceful,

and free from all bondage.

Verse 5

You are not a Brahmin

or any other social class.

You do not belong to any stage of life.

You cannot be perceived by the senses.

You are unattached, formless,

and the witness of the entire universe.

Knowing this, be happy.

Verse 6

O Infinite One!

Virtue and vice, pleasure and pain,

all belong to the mind,

not to your true Self.

You are neither the doer

nor the experiencer.

You are eternally free.

Verse 7

You are the one witness of everything

and are always essentially free.

Your only bondage is this:

you try to see the Seer

as if it were something separate from you.

Verse 8

You have been bitten by

the great black serpent of ego — the belief,

"I am the doer."

Drink the nectar of the conviction,

"I am not the doer,"

and move through life in happiness.

Verse 9

With the fire of firm conviction,

"I alone am pure awareness,"

burn down the dense forest of ignorance.

Then, free from sorrow, abide in happiness.

Verse 10

In that awareness

where this entire universe appears

like an imagined snake on a rope,

you are that pure consciousness —

the very essence of bliss and supreme bliss.

Knowing this, be happy.
