It is love which is ready to receive and bless everyone and which has the magic touch to open the gate to the true identity,that remains locked up forever to intellect.

I
The ‘I’ casts off the illusion of ‘I’ and yet remains as ‘I’. This appears to be a paradox to you; it is not so to the jnani.

Self-Enquiry
In one of his verses the Maharshi says:
Plunge deep into yourself, in the inner most depths of your
heart, as the pearl diver holding speech and breath plunges
deep into the waters and so secure with mind alert the
treasure of the Self within.
From the book "Ramana Smriti".

A Zen Story
I received this short Zen story, worth publishing here.
A university professor went to visit a famous Zen master. While the master quietly served tea, the professor talked about Zen. The master poured the visitor’s cup to the brim, and then kept pouring. The professor watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself. “It’s overfull! No more will go in!” the professor blurted. “You are like this cup,” the master replied, “How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup.”

Hope and Sorrow
Hope is the tong with which Nature holds man and with the hammer of sorrow, she gives him good blows to shape him according to her wish.
