' The Bhagavad-Gita '...
The Gita is a doctrine of universal truth.. Its message is universal,, sublime,, and non-sectarian, although, it is a part of the scriptural trinity of Sanaatana Dharma,, commonly known as Hinduism... The Gita, is very easy to understand, in any language, for a mature mind... A repeated reading with faith, will reveal all the sublime ideas contained in it... A few abstruse statements are interspersed here and there, but they have no direct bearing on practical issues, or the central theme of Gita... The Gita deals with the most sacred metaphysical science.. It imparts the knowledge of the Self, and answers two universal questions:.. Who am I,, and how can I lead a happy and peaceful life in this world of dualities... It is a book of yoga,, the moral and spiritual growth,, for mankind based on the cardinal principles of Hindu religion ..............................Translated by Dr. Ramananda Prasad

You're from a country, beyond this universe,,
yet, your best guess, is that

' This Is Samsara '...
"Whatever we see,, whatever we understand,, is nothing but ignorance...
This is because, when this understanding arises,, it creates mind,, and the mind, becomes I am...
I am,, needs to understand something and act...
This activity from I am, is misunderstanding,, because consciousness, cannot be understood,, perceived,, or conceived...
It has no other observer...
It is self-effulgent,, omnipresent,, omniscient...
Who could be the observer?"..........
"Understanding has objectified it,, and it has become subjective self..
Being subject,, it needs to create..
This creation, is the result of ignorance..
In this ignorance,, whatever you understand,, conceive,, or perceive, if just ignorance."...
"The creation vanishes in an instant,, just as it arises..
I is the mind,, and objects are the universe...
Utter 'I', and there is the universe, - past,, present,, future, - and endless repetition...
This is samsara."...................... Pooja
' Merges With Source '...
"You are plurality, transformed into Unity,,
And Unity, passing into plurality;,

Leaves the part,, and merges with the Whole."

' Me ' Never Existed '...
'me' never existed...
In this moment – for you,, right now ..
there is a clear
light of awareness, in which everything is appearing..
It is what you are..
You are that!.. It is free,, totally
unobscured,, full and complete..
Christ said,, 'I am the
light of the world'...
You,, as that awareness,, can say
the same thing..
Separation from that, is a total illusion..
It never happened,, except in imagination..
It is based
on a 'me', that never existed..
It is just a wrong idea.
................. John Wheeler
Awakening to the Natural State
via Along The Way
' Understanding Self '...
The problem lies within the definitions of self and non-self..
The first Reality, is to acknowldge that You are not the false self called ego,
and that You are actually Divine Consciousness..
This is called Enlightenment, and requires the surrender of egoic consciousness..
This is our natural state, and contains no ego, but does contain 'Personality'..
This 'Personality',, is called God, and is the source of manifestation..
This 'Personality' is Us....
The Final Reality, is the state of Nothingness, or what is called 'Pure
Awareness'...
This is the Void of non-ego and non-Personality...
This is the place that some are speaking of...
This place is rarely achieved by humans while in the manifestations...
It is easier to surrender the 'Personality' of Divine Consciousness, while within
the state of 'Divine Consciousness'...
This is the "Crucifixion of Self"..
The Ending of Separation..
The Complete Freedom of Non-existence..........

The Gautama Buddha teachings, the men heard, consisted of the Four Noble Truths, and the Eightfold Path,, which are now recognized as Buddhism pillars... These men became his disciples,, and the Buddha’s teachings, became known as the Dharma...

' Theosophy.......by Annie Besant '...
Theosophy is this direct knowledge of God; the search after this is the Mysticism, or Esotericism, common to all religions, thrown by Theosophy into a scientific form, as in Hinduism, Buddhism, Roman Catholic Christianity, and Sufism. Like these, it teaches in a quite clear and definite way the methods of reaching firsthand knowledge by unfolding the spiritual consciousness, and by evolving the organs through which that consciousness can function on our earth –once more, the methods of meditation and of a discipline of life.
Hence it is the same as the Science of the Self [Atma-vidyä], the Science of the Eternal [Brahma-vidyä] which is the core of Hinduism; it is “the Knowledge of God which is Eternal Life” which is the essence of Christianity. It is not a new thing, but is in all religions, and hence we find the late eminent Orientalist, Max Müller, writing his well known work on Theosophy, or Psychological Religion...............................................................................................................................
THE SECONDARY MEANING...............
Theosophy, in a secondary sense –the above being the primary –is the body of doctrine, obtained by separating the beliefs common to all religions from the peculiarities, specialities, rites, ceremonies and customs which mark off one religion from another; it presents these common truths as a consensus of world-beliefs, forming, in their entirety, the Wisdom-religion, or the Universal Religion, the source from which all separate religions spring, the trunk of the Tree of Life from which they all branch forth.
The name Theosophy, which as we have said, is Greek, was first used by Ammonius Saccas, in the third century after Christ, and has remained ever since in the history of religion in the West, denoting not only Mysticism, but also an eclectic system, which accepts truth wherever it is to be found, and cares little for its outer trappings.............................................................................................................................
It appeared in its present form in America and Europe in 1875, at the time when Comparative Mythology was being used as an effective weapon against Christianity, and, by transforming it into Comparative Religion, it built the researches and discoveries of archaeologists and antiquarians into bulwarks of defence for the friends of religion, instead of leaving them as missiles of attack for its enemies.

' Advice to Healers '...
“When the healer thinks he is healing,, his power is as small as a drop;, when he thinks God is healing,, and when owing to this thought his own self is forgotten, and he is only conscious of the Self of God,, then his power becomes as large as the ocean... (Inayat Khan's advice to healers)”

' Islamic Sufism '...
Sufism,, mystical Islamic belief and practice, in which Muslims seek to find the truth of divine love, and knowledge through direct personal experience of God... It consists of a variety of mystical paths. that are designed to ascertain the nature of humanity, and of God, and to facilitate the experience of the presence of divine love and wisdom in the world...
....................................................
Islamic mysticism is called taṣawwuf (literally,, “to dress in wool”) in Arabic,, but it has been called Sufism, in Western languages since the early 19th century... An abstract word,, Sufism derives from the Arabic term for a mystic,, ṣūfī,, which is in turn derived from ṣūf,, “wool,”,, plausibly a reference to the woollen garment of early Islamic ascetics... The Sufis are also generally known as “the poor,,” fuqarāʾ,, plural of the Arabic faqīr,, in Persian darvīsh,, whence the English words fakir and dervish...
....................................................
Though the roots of Islamic mysticism, formerly were supposed to have stemmed, from various non-Islamic sources, in ancient Europe and even India,, it now seems established, that the movement grew out of early Islamic asceticism, that developed as a counterweight, to the increasing worldliness, of the expanding Muslim community;, only later were foreign elements, that were compatible with mystical theology and practices adopted and made to conform to Islam............................... from Britannica.com
