Remaining calm

Remaining calm

dhammadasa

There’s a Quote by Sri Ramana Maharshi that is used & taught often by His student Robert Adams,  it basically goes like this,  ” Whatever occurs,  don’t react, good or bad,   remain calm in all situations,  this is the only practice one needs , is  not react”   , I Love this Wholesome Thought so much,  especially for it’s straightforward message & brilliant simplicity,  often it remains in the forefront of my mind as a Mantra,  it has become a very important cure all Wholesome thought that transforms any dissatisfaction into pure joy & peace,  also i enjoy meditating on Silence of the heart,  an Actual Title of one of Robert Adams Books, we don’t necessarily have to be quite in outward speech,  but it does help,  when not only our speech but especially our heart is Silent,  all negativity,  all dissatisfaction seems to be burnt up in the beautiful flame of pure unborn awareness,  gladening the mind here n now, questions don’t even arise,  answers don’t mean anything,  self, not self, soul no soul doesn’t even appear anywhere in the clear waters of the Mind , all is well 💙

    @Dhammadasa: Thank you so much for sharing this reminder of the amazing teachings Sri Ramana gave simply by giving no teaching at all or staying silent. According to my studies, Sri Ramana Maharshi was asked by a devotee to compose some spiritual poetry for their inspiration. It seems Sri was always willing to be generous to those who asked, and he composed as a response to this request…beautiful verses to his local mountain Aranachula. I wonder if you have read that poetry? It is beautiful, imho…and conducive to Devotion and Wisdom.
