Brahmananda Swarupa “ The Whole Existence is an image of the ecstasy of the creator” Embodiments of Divine Love! It is only when the process of creation is understood in terms of the close relationship between the Brahmam (Omni-Self) and man can Brahma-Vidya (the Divine knowledge of the Supreme) be attained. Brahman represents the Infinite. From this Infinite, Akasa (ether or sound) emerged. From Akasa came Vayu (air), from Air, Tejas (Fire), from Tejas, water and from water, the earth. From theearth came the Oshadhayah (herbal plants), from the plants, food, from food, Purusha (man).When the advent of man through this process is understood, it will be clear that man came from the Infinite. Brahmananda The term Brahmananda is a compound word composed of Brahma and Ananda. When this compound word is examined in its two parts, it will be ‘seen that Brahma is different from Ananda. When this Ananda (bliss) is united with Brahmam, it becomes Brahmananda. Hence, it is evident that there is an inextricable association between man and Brahmam (the Omni-Self).

What is me

What is He

What is all this mystery

Where am I

Where art thou

When all this is over where would I go

“87-88. Abandoning the dark way, let the wise man cultivate the bright path. Having gone from home to homelessness, let him yearn for that delight in detachment, so difficult to enjoy. Giving up sensual pleasures, with no attachment, let the wise man cleanse himself of defilements of the mind.”

— VI. The Wise

"

So we sit, we concentrate on the breathing, nothing else. Then some thoughts may come, and any number of distractions: things you talked about yesterday, movies you watched last week, a conversation you just had, things you need to do tomorrow, a sudden panic—did I switch off the gas in the kitchen this morning?All of this will come, and when it does, go back to the breathing. This is the slogan of instruction: just come back. Every time we notice that we’ve gotten distracted, we remember the instruction and we come back to the breath.

—Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche
