#self-experience

ॐ 

Self is not a void, because it shines and knows itself by its own light of consciousness as the clear and abundant knowledge ‘I am’

Though the absolute reality, which is our essential self-conscious being, is devoid of all relative knowledge – all knowledge of duality or otherness – it is not an absolute void, because it is not devoid of true knowledge, which is the absolute clarity of perfectly non-dual self-consciousness. Therefore rather than describing the absolute reality as a state of sunya, ‘emptiness’ or ‘void’, it is more accurate to describe it as the state of purna, ‘fullness’, ‘wholeness’ or ‘completeness’, because it is the absolute fullness of true knowledge. The same truth that Sri Ramana expresses in verse 12 of Ulladu Narpadu is expressed by him even more succinctly in verse 27 of Upadesa Undiyar: 

The knowledge which is devoid of both knowledge and ignorance [about objects], alone is [true] knowledge. This [true knowledge] is the [only existing] reality, [because in truth] there is nothing to know [other than ourself].

If i could have a chance to start again

I would be a rebel girl who wants to pursue her freedom through art

I'll convince my parents that I believe in what I'll do

I'll paint

I’ll sing

Do some theater performances and photograph life

I’ll work in a coffee shop, become a Barista

I will live in a small apartment with steady although not much salary

I’ll smoke pot sometimes, drink beer almost every night, and maybe smoking once or twice a year

I won't be dependent to my parents financially

I'll get tattoo, piercings, be myself, have a great social life

Then if I had enough money and great art projects, I'll apply to some art scholarships outside my current country

Greet other culture, other people, other nature

But...

Look at me, I'm a coward, a dreamer who doesn't step outside to do everything I want..

Look at me, I’m still sitting in the same cage, only bigger than before..

But also, I still have those plans in my mind, in case I got the courage to break the wall.
