Freedom is a choice – freedom and transformation

  Morning began quietly, almost imperceptibly, like a thought forming somewhere between sleep and waking. The light slipped through the window not so much as a beam, but as a gentle reminder that the day exists . The air carried that fragile freshness that always makes me reflect on the strange architecture of life—how imperfect, how winding , and yet how endlessly rich with possibilities for inner transformation. Today I thought something simple, almost childlike, and at the same time as deep as an old revelation: life is so imperfect and yet so full of possibilities for transformation.

The Self is the only reality

 

"The Self is the only reality that always exists, and in its light, all things are seen. We forget this and direct our attention to the external world.

It is the light that allows us to see the hall, the people, and their performance. We are so absorbed by the objects or phenomena revealed by the light that we fail to pay attention to the light itself. Like the torches in the hall that always burn, the light of Consciousness or the Self is always present—whether in the waking state or the dream state, where things appear, or in deep sleep, where nothing is seen. What we must do is focus on the seer, not the seen, not on the objects, but on the light that reveals them."
— Ramana Maharshi.
