The Unborn-Deathless One

7.25 Eclipsed by Maya, the world does not know me as I AM IN MYSELF—the Unborn-Deathless One. Hidden behind the shadow-making propensities of man’s imposition on the deathless-face of the Unborn Essence, the Unmanifested-Spirit is forever eclipsed like a cancerous … Continue reading
Thou shalt not have other gods before me

7.20 Led by their own lesser proclivities, many follow their lower natures and seek to worship demigods of their own shallow design. The lesser-able take shelter in a lower-class of demigods merely as a fulfillment of baser instincts that are … Continue reading

Maya, the Womb of Cosmic-Delusion

7.14 All that is outside my Supra-Essential Core becomes manifested as Maya—the womb of cosmic-delusion. It is only those who take resolute refuge in my Self-Alone who will transcend this nefarious web. A wonderful resource I purchased a little while … Continue reading
Seven: Gnosis of the Absolute

The Cosmic Necklace 7.1 Thus spoke the Blessed One: Arjuna, devote your whole-self to me and practice the Divine Unborn Yoga. In so doing take me as your exclusive-refuge; it is only in this solemn fashion that you can truly … Continue reading

The All-Pervading Spirit

6.30 Recognizing everything as the manifestation of the One Light, one will never lose sight of the all-pervading Spirit. One is never apart from THAT which animates. Thus the emancipated yogin tastes the all-pervasiveness of the Infinite Dharma-Lord. 6.31 One … Continue reading
Self-Mastery

6.18 When the mind is totally subjugated to the Divine Self (Atman), then one is indelibly united with the Unborn Lord. Unequivocally absorbed in Divine Blessedness, the mechanisms of the lower-self (body-consciousness) are disbanded. 6.19 The well-developed mind of the … Continue reading
The Yogin’s Seat

6.7 The valiant-sage, absorbed in the Supreme-Self (Atman), is impervious to the elements of hot and cold; whether experiencing pleasure or pain, in honor or dishonor. When one’s mind is immovable in the Self-Supreme, there is no other recourse other … Continue reading

Six: Dhyana Yoga

The Yoga of True Renunciation is dependent upon Meditation 6.1 Thus spoke the Unborn Lord: One who acts dutifully in the Holy Dharma, regardless of the consequences, is a True Spiritual-Ascetic—not those who shun their duties and merely observe external … Continue reading

Noumenal Bliss

5.19 From the vantage-point of one immersed in sheer luminosity, all about is nothing other than the Supreme Dharma Lord marked by the spirit of equanimity. Equanimity of Mind is the very hallmark of Noble Self-Realization. Primordial Dharma-Yoga is an … Continue reading

The Ensconced-Self

5.13 The Ensconced-Self, hidden in Unborn Bliss, knows Itself as the Transcendent Atman—the Guardian of the nine-gated fortress. IT neither moves nor is the performer of actions. When the Unborn Mind devotee rises above all defiling attachments and actions of … Continue reading
