Just keep in mind that juggling does not mean, “figuring it all out”. Nor does it mean having no cynicism, anger, fear, etc. It means awakening to the place deep within that holds all of these things… holds everything… and is beyond the touch of any of it.
Oneness does not mean one with all the things you like and elimination of all the things you do not. Oneness means oneness.
The course of action is eternally unfathomable. You never figure everything out. You juggle… everything remains up in the air. That is why they call it ‘relativity.’ No bottom line. No figuring it all out.
To juggle means to have a healthy relationship with… which means to under-stand, not over-stand. Humility, innocence, not knowingness, are all built right into it, while concurrently, at the depth, you are awake to all knowingness, infinite stability, infinite flexibility, infinite peace, etc.
The nature of the depth and the nature of the surface are two very different things. The error of ‘cross realm projection’ is to try to transfer qualities of one upon the other.
In enlightenment, they exist concurrently… the surface along with its nature, and the depth along with its nature. Yet the surface, from the perspective of your depth, is then experienced as virtual… just lightly etched on the face of the absolute.
The root is stable, the leaves juggle in the wind.
Beautiful….exquisite
I smile at my confusion and in some ways my own ridiculousness, as I attempt to comment on this latest entry from Maharshi. Commenting on an entry that addresses not knowingness and humility and thinking to myself “I want this to sound correct.” Duh! How ironic!
There is so much to process in this entry. It seems to touch upon so much of what I/we have heard and learned from Maharshi. Much of it I have failed to remember. It is Maharshi reiterating a message of truth, self acceptance and humility while exemplifying those very qualities. The words and the manner with which they are conveyed is a profound and treasured gift.
Maharshi: Thank you for reminding me about ‘cross realm projection’ and ‘relationship with.’ Hopefully as it begins to sink in I will integrate it with all the things I don’t like and smile at my process. I am paraphrasing but I think you once mentioned a Saint perhaps, who said “if you don’t like your personality, change it now because once you are enlightened you won’t care.” If I have it wrong please forgive me but I think it makes sense.
a tear trickled down my soul.. i remembered & reread yesterdays pearls..oceans of joy cascade ..my heart singing with gratitude .. love blessings to you
Beautifully overwhelming..
My deepest appreciation for the overwhelming challenge you bring to evolve.
Thank you Bramarshi…as always, you’re words are perfect timing…:)
Comfort, comfort my people. Speak, speak to their hearts.
Speak tenderly, tenderly to them.
By name, I have called you. By name, I will save you.
By name, you are mine, you are precious to me.
By name I have called you. By name I will send you.
Forever with you I will be.

On one hand it is frustrating to know that my desire to “figure it all out” is unattainable. On the other, it is quite satisfying knowing that life as I know it will continue, just my “relationship with” can evolve. Further consideration creates in me the recognition that my human physiology is not capable of enduring what might take place were I to find my self in that place of perfection where all is “figured out.” Happy to be here at the present…
What always amazes me about experiencing these blogs as opposed to reading these blogs…
I remember the sheer frustration of going through Surya, etc. and “hearing” what my Guru “said”. Because I could only hear from where I was, and I was so focused on the words.. I have to wonder… I remember _taking notes_. What on earth was I thinking? I have to find those old notebooks and see what on earth I wrote down. I am not sure if I will laugh or I will cry. Maybe both? I bet there are some very cool doodles in the margins, because I was so clueless. I have to all cap that, and emphasize SO CLUELESS.
I remember being _so nervous_ doing the hands on healing exercises that I think I thought my hand was on someone’s heart but I was not even on the right side of the body. I think Maharshi came along and physically moved my hand on the chest. I remember thinking (seriously) I have been such a bad bad person and I cannot bear to sit in ths room because my Guru can see straight through me.
I am still a big friggin mess. I really am. But I do know that I am experiencing my Guru and the Knowledge in a different way. It is near to impossible to explain.
I cannot put my finger on what I came to learn. Wait… I can… and it was a form of juggling…it was the skill of learning to hands on heal. I saw Brahmarshi in RI do a healing on a woman. I did not have subtle sight. I was a loose cannon astral healer. I have no idea what He did. I do remember his humilty and respect working on the woman. She later told us she had a rare form of cancer. I think He only said to her after working on her: Do you have a Doctor, you need to see him. From the moment I sat on the floor and looked up, I knew that I had to find this man and follow Him wherever He was and wherever that would take me. It was that profound, even though I was really still hoping on being the very best juggler in the whole entire universe.
I came to my Guru under the false premise of learning to hands on heal the world, I must have thought: I will learn some cool new techniques and then leave Surya and jump on to the new next best thing. Fool that I am. I am so glad He did not kick me out the door for my foolishness. (I am also going thorugh a very difficult divorce. However if not for my marriage and my husband paying for my classes, my retreats, etc., I would never have met my Guru and I would never have been able to spend the past ten years with Him. Isn’t life funny?)
I am laughing after crying because I am still clueless! On so many levels. However there is a strength to me where I know everything is okay. I am amazed at how silly a juggler I am. Real time is so surface based. I think of the book title. Look Deeper. So true. Do the dance, juggle the balls. go Bruce Lee on relativity. At some point I will understand and surrender to the simple inside reality. Maybe not so much understand it, surrender to it.
And on a silly side note: I never could physiclally juggle. I have tried.
