Wished so much to be at Thiruvannamalai today, Arunachala
To circumbulate you under moonlight
With your immense grace, you smiled at me as full moon even in cloudy sky here today
With more grace, you poured upon bliss of your eternal presence in my heart
In your grace, time and space disappear
Oh Arunachala, my dearest lord, pranams
Arunachala Siva Arunachala Siva Arunachala Siva Arunachala…
Arunachala Siva Arunachala Siva Arunachala Siva Arunachala…
Chanting joyfully
Singing joyfully
Remembering joyfully
About the beloved lord always
And, dissolving joyfully into the heart
Everything is uncomparable to this joy
Any tests of life can be passed with devotion,
With our beloved lord always in our hearts
😊❤🙏🌼🕊

| Tathātā |
|---|
Tathātā (/ˌtætəˈtɑː/; Sanskrit romanised: tathātā; Pali romanised: tathatā) is a Buddhist term variously translated as “thusness” or “suchness” and meaning the true, concrete essence or nature of things beyond ideas or words. It is a central concept in Mahayana Buddhism, having a particular significance in Chan Buddhism as well. The synonym dharmatā is also often used.
Beyond ideas and words….
Cast both of these aside
As they only interfere
They mask
They delude
They misinform
They distract from what is real
from what is immediate
from the present moment
For in suchness lies beingness
Simply being in the here and now
Rest in the isness
See with a fresh set of eyes
No ideas, no words
No images
Nothing
Such is suchness
Such is your true nature
And in this suchness lies the peace you seek
Close the doors of senses
Take a breath
Reach within the heart
See the light which lightens everything
Stay still
Let the thoughts flow like leaves in running water
They may come like big logs of wood too
Let them go, do not go behind them
Whatever they are,
Unless you give them power, none of them affect you
Stay still
Let the ego of individual self dissolve in eternal light of bliss
Here remains bliss only
Be the bliss by experiencing bliss
The doors of eternal bliss are open to all
To all those who are ready to look within
Except the willingness to stay still, nothing else is needed
Do not waste a second
Just this moment, this very moment,
Look within the sanctum of heart
Dissolve in the light of bliss dear one 🙂
