Atmamun: The Path To Achieving The Bliss Of The Himalayan Swamis. And The Freedom Of A Living God.

by Kapil Gupta

When you have likes and dislikes, you have a desire for one thing and an aversion for another.

it is not a question of right and wrong. It is a question of misery versus peace. Joy versus anguish. And freedom versus imprisonment. If

The religious are drunk on the pride of religiousness. And the non-religious man (the discrepant and the heathen, as some call him) has seemingly lost his way. He has succumbed to evil. And lost his sense of morality.

The pride of religion is more detrimental than the pride of ego.

It’s a black market devoted to the fulfillment of desires. Sanctified by the seal of a manufactured God.

Man will take any opportunity to avoid that which is most immediate in his life. He will do anything but the task at hand. He will look at anything besides that which stands inches from his face.

The Ego is Not that which says that you are great. It is that which says that you Exist at all!

The idea that you exist. This is the one single source of all your problems. This is the genesis of all your turmoils. This is the seed of all your troubles.

For normalcy is nothing more than a democratic madness.

man lives his entire life trying to untangle a mess, when all he needs to do is to step out of it. When YOU are born, misery is born. When YOU are born, burden is born.

We are slaves to ourselves. And we think that we are free. The greatest freedom that we have is the freedom to walk away from ourselves.

The day that you walk away from yourself, you no longer feel the need for happiness. For bliss has become yours.

The single greatest obstacle to Atmamun is the presence of your manufactured self.

The person that you call “myself” is the source of all your miseries. Remove this manufactured self, and you will be as free as a living God.

Nature nurtures a vacuum. It is man that abhors it.

The man who cannot stand being a Nobody will strive to become a Somebody. But as he chases this status, he finds that this Somebody he hopes to create never seems to sustain itself.

A man’s greatest prize is his own Life. Not the life he creates. Not the life he hopes for. Not the life he manufactures. Not the life he adorns. Not the life he strives for.

If who you are today is not enough, it is because you don’t know who you truly are. And trying to make yourself into Someone will take you even further away from who you fundamentally are.

Live your life as a lonely stranger. As a wanderer filled with awe and wonder.

If there is one truth that I have learned, it is that unless you find it inside of Today, you will never find it inside of Tomorrow.

For as long as you continue to search, you will keep sacrificing Today.

Life does not happen around you. It is not a chronology of events. Perceiving life in this way keeps you on the edge of life.

meaning is an intellectual concept. Intellect affords a sense of survival in the modern world. But survival is survival. And living is living.

You can create anything you wish In your life. But you will never make anything Out Of life. For life will always be life. Meaningless. Innocent. And Indefinable.

life’s nectar lies in experience, rather than reward. Rewards fade from memory. Experiences remain forever.

A life of wild abandon is the greatest life. Leave purpose to the wind. Give yourself to your life.

Surrender yourself to your inspirations. Achieve all the greatness in the world. And be willing t...

Life is as raw as all forces of nature. And what we perhaps must realize is that our suffering comes from expecting it to be that which it can never be.

Life is simply a joke. An absurdity. A non-linear, haphazard, and unpredictable trail that is fertile for the imagination of hallucinatory human beings.

Life is a Rorschach. You can see in it what you wish.

Life is the most insignificant event of the hour. Life is not a series of events. Rather it is the substrate in which the events take place.

My friend, there was a day that you were not here. And there will soon be a day when you are no longer here. And once you realize this, you will understand that all there is left to do is play.

To intellectualize life is to miss it completely. If you understand that life has no meaning, the events of your life will not affect you.

The man who is in love with his trade is not a worker. He is an artist.

Food is overrated. Man is hungry for inspiration. Man is hungry for inner abundance. Man is hungry for the realization of his true potential. Man is hungry to retain the right of his kingship.

The unbiased honest truth is this: Wealth, success, and luxury do not harm a man. What harms a man is the Attachment to these things.

The man who is Attached to the idea of achieving spirituality is equally doomed.

Attachment is poison. Attachment is the source of all misery.

Attachment is the antithesis of life. Attachment is the great death. A death greater than death itself.

Man is a king. But he believes that he is a beggar who must work toward becoming a king. And because he believes this, he lives his entire life as a beggar.

As Shakespeare said, To Thine Own Self Be True. Unless you are true to yourself, you cannot possibly be true to another.

There are glorious talents that are unique only to You. For nature does not make carbon copies. And schools and societies insist upon nothing but carbon copies.

Human beings tend to become the norm that they are exposed to. This is the astonishing power of environment.

would argue that victory is something one experiences everyday, if he immerses himself in the joy of his craft, and in his sincere quest for learning it.

If our aim remains fixed upon cultivating Atmamun, we will become observers of our feelings rather than “fixers” of them.

Success arises from innocence or from a sort of knowing. It arises from innocence when an individual is so devoted to his craft that he gives himself to it, day and night. Not because he wishes to make himself a success. But because the craft is quite literally a part of him.

Knowing comes first. Devotion and love come first. Hard work MAY come later.

Whether something is possible or impossible is not your business. Success and failure are ideas that will only serve as a burden to your quest.

Thought stands as a barrier between You and The Experience. When one Experiences, there is no thought. When there is no thought, there is no mind.

When there is no mind, there is Atmamun.
