Yoga Vasistha (Essence) ~ Advaita Vedanta

This is a reading for meditation of core couplets from the Yoga Vasistha Sara (Essence).
The Yoga Vasishta is a work of about 32,000 Sanskrit couplets, traditionally attributed to Valmiki, the author of Srimad Ramayana. It is a dialogue between Sage Vasishta and Sri Rama, during which Advaita (the doctrine of non-duality) in its pure form of ajatavada (theory of non-origination) is expounded, with illustrative stories in between.
Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi used to refer to Yoga Vasishta frequently and incorporated six couplets from it in His Supplement to Forty Verses (verses 21 to 27).

If you have somehow stumbled upon this comment, and have taken the precious few moments from your busy life to read it, I offer to you my sincerest gratitude. For every star in the universe glows for you. The Sun shines brighter than all other stars, to impress you. Comets let their tail out, and the beautiful colors they display for you. I, like the Moon, am happy with just admiring you from afar. You say that I too glow, yet I humbly say, I only glow due to your light being so bright, it reflects off of me. Without you, my life would have no shine. So, where ever you go, please, take my heart with you. In doing this, I will always be with you. Cheering you on when times are hard. Acting as a shield when you need me. I love you beautiful stranger. You are me, and I am you. Together we are all One.

[@staceymurray9644]

Wow thank you for your words of love❤❤❤

[@project-unifiedfreepeoples]

@staceymurray9644 You are worthy of such admiration and much more. I must apologize for offering so little. Please forgive me, for I am a merely a poor traveler trying to find my way home. Peace and prosperity bless your days, forever.

So much gratitude. That internal drive toward God is such a force in life. Being with like-minded people is important. Without sangha it can feel like a desert.

How does one see the body as consciousness? While I can see others and the world as consciousness I still experience the body as material and as mine. Any practice suggestions are appreciated. ❤️

[@SamaneriJayasara]

The body isn't Consciousness. The body is _in_ Consciousness/Awareness. This meditation might be of help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXfNm4aLp9uma7s&ab_channel=SamaneriJayas%C4%81ra-WisdomoftheMasters
