Just Give UP!

Blog

Dvorahji Dvorah Adler Your life is a flow, nothing more. A FLOW OF MOVEMENT (thoughts feelings actions). Really U R nothing more than a FLOW OF NATURE in constant motion/change. All these thoughts about being spiritual/enlightened R like ants automatically going to their ant hill. They aren’t holy or even original-they flow like everything else according to their nature. JUST GIVE UP. U know nothing. Relax & flow according to UR nature.,

What’s interesting is that “we” move along whether we think we have a choice/accept/ or not…we automatically do our life…we just “think” we don’t and that’s where all the trouble starts…

That’s actually a misconception. An idea really that people repeat to make themselves feel better about their “challenged & miserable” life :)…..Thoughts & trouble are kinda like buzzing mosquitos that bother you as your riding your donkey on the clear & set trail home. They don’t change the direct journey, they’re just pesky and you can just swat or yell at them. Or even better yet: JUST KILL THEM and tell them I told you to!

Which reminds me of a true story…
When I was in La Antilla Spain becoming a TM teacher, my room was infested with ants. One day, I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I looked at all the ants and said: “If there is a leader/or Ant Deva among you, be warned that I will kill each and every one of you tommorrow at noon. You’ve got one day to get out!” and then I went to bed. When I woke up the ants were GONE!!!
I can’t guarantee that this will always work, but it worked that time.

Ask Dvorahji: Is having a Guru giving your POWER AWAY?

Blog

R.S: “…abdicating your power for me means letting a third party (a guru) make decisions for you. He tells u what to do or not. That means giving away your freedom.
Gautam Saigal My point is simple your internal guidence is the real deal. Not some certified or not, true guru. When you realise that, you are set free. You are connected to god. My point is simple: Your internal guidence is the real deal. Not some certified or not, true guru.”***** 
Darling: First of all I have a Guru and this nonsence about “abducating your power” is ridiculous. What power do you have to abdicate? The Divine runs the show not you, so what power would the Guru want from you? Your brain? Your tired old body? it’s ridiculous that the Guru wants your power. What would he do with it? Such spiritual kindergarden concepts.
Buddha said, “deeds are done and there is no individual doer”. What do you think that means? It MEANS YOU DO NOT RUN THIS SHOW. AGAIN THE DIVINE RUNS THE SHOW…However your “ego/mind” THINKS it runs the show. But FROM MY PERSPECTIVE that silly.
A True Guru only wants the best for you…and he/she is YOUR VERY NATURE IN a different form and functions as a guide to help you let go of all your concepts and see THAT LOVE, ENLIGHTENMENT GOD, GURU are your nature. First of all (from my perspective) Guru’s don’t tell you what to do…they don’t care what you do…because they know, you do what you do! Why? Again, Because the DIVINE RUNS THE SHOW, not some “puny” idea of freedom that people “think” they have. You are so smart and you HAVE MISSED THE SPIRITUAL POINT. 
And Second “FREEDOM has nothing to do with being connected to God. THERE ARE NO TWO…NEVER. YOU ARE ALWAYS CONNECTED TO GOD. ..This “thinking” of being set free and then you are connected to God…it’s just ANOTHER CONCEPT seekers tend to believe. It’s all this “Law of Attraction nonsense that you are buying into. It’s a very very minor law, a physical law…it’s NOTHING in the big picture.
Guidance, unfortunately is usually a feeling, or maybe an intuitive feeling or whatever, it’s all the same thing. The Divine runs the show!! No “inner & outer” NO “I make the decisions and don’t give my power away” nonsense. NOT for a true seeker of truth.
I have taken a lot of time here and why? Because you are such a sincere person who’s “thinking is askew”. You’re looking in the wrong direction. You ARE LOOKING OUT, you just “think” you’re looking in. You’re a heart beat away, a blink from WAKING UP.
You want some real truth? Read Ramana for awhile without all these other distractions of spiritual concepts that you have…Read Nissargaddatta. Just for one day…SKIP the law of attraction stuff, skip Abraham Hicks…
Just READ ONE GREAT GURU OR BOOK…read the concise Vasistha…or for modern day…Read Ramesh or an interesting guy like Nathan Gill, or even Tony Parsons. Check out my Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar…Take your pick! Just read sincerely something different then the hype you’ve been reading. it’s for beginners….and of course there is nothing wrong with it…But you seem to think you know “Something & have some power that you don’t want to give away”…and you have no idea how ridiculous that sounds”.
I have one last suggestion: Try a new mantra: 
“I am always free, always connected to God and so is EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ELSE…and freedom and power are words I made up…
I have GREAT CONFIDENCE IN YOUR GUIDANCE as you ARE ALWAYS BEING GUIDED AND YOU ARE ALWAYS DOING THE RIGHT THING…ALWAYS…NO EXCEPTIONS – EVER.
Ps. and remember..Your “intuition” found me…I didn’t go looking for you, so for one moment…drop your belief system and with an open MIND check out mine….and thennnnnnnnnn who knows…anything is possible in consciousness… I may start doing affirmations cause I really do need a trip to Hawaii!

‘DAT’s me and my GURU…Guru is your Nature…Have Fun with your Guru……

More sent to me about this post:
R: Dvorahji, you don’t sound very encouraging, very loving here. Everyone has their own path. It’s easier to catch flies with sugar then a fly swatter…

Dvorahji: Well darling, how long have you been listening to all this “loving, encouraging, you are a great powerful person mesmerizing mantra BS- and where has it gotten you? Holding on to the power you “think” you have & don’t want to give away!”

You came to me expecting the same old goobly-goop and to support your “beliefs system. And guess what? Your intuition DID work! CAUSE I agree with practically NOTHING you’ve presumed so far. LUCKY for you I brought my big Danda stick…

LOVE, KINDNESS, SURRENDER, ENLIGHTENMENT ARE your nature…loving words, thoughts actions are your karma, your minute to minute happening…some are more loving then others…and Unfortunately for you, I’m a hot tamalie…

and you should have believed my warnings (and I did warn you several times) before you decided to come to me. so next time someone tells you “I’m not your cup of Chai, turn the page”…you should believe them. You can TRY A NEW ADVENTURE but adventure means “the unknown and you don’t know what’s coming”………and here I COME!

More on this:
R.S: “Dvorahji, Lets not make things complex, you always have choice moment to moment. If a certain choice does not serve you drop it & choose again. You just need to be aware that you have that choice. If you follow your heart & do what resonates, you will not get into this game of comparision or judgement.”

Dvorahji: NO CHOICE – NONE! The Divine runs the show, period. No exceptions and NO CHOICE. Consider that you’re delusional…

More…
R.S. “I am not in a searching
mode. I am living my daily peace, happiness & joy… I am living all of it moment to moment. It is my being.

Dvorahji: “I told you before” I was not you cup of Chai”.
..and yes YOUR BEING IS living you…..and what does it matter. You’re happy! Great that’s all I really care about….

this whole conversation with R.S. reminds me of sitting in a small group in Canada in fron of Sri Sri.
For months before I’d been spontaneously told EVERYBODY & EVERYTHING: “No, not this, not this, not this..everything is an illusion”. I coundn’t even have a conversation with anyone without telling them even they were an illusion. I drove myself and everyone else crazy.

But now, when I was sitting in fron of Sri Sri I was calm, happy, Being, everything was wonderful….AND THEN Sri Sri begins to shout at me: “So have you had enough already, are you done yet!!”

…And as he shouted at me, I’m still feeling very very happy, feeling great (others were nervous, but I was in Space) and thinking: “What are you bothering me for, I feel great!”………

But from that day on all those annoying thoughts & discussion; telling everybody “NO NOT THIS, it’s all an illusion!” stopped. And people began to invite me over for dinner again!!!)

Moral of the story: Well – you never know what’s happening when the Guru starts Shouting at you! It’s probably a good thing! (at least in my case, I can’t vouch for anybody else’s).

@Dvorahji – interesting account of your time with Sri Sri in canada, lots there to learn from for us/me.

Also, interestingly when i started my journey with Sri Sri and had not yet “consciously” accepted him as my guru, i felt the same way like R.S. here. Not wanting my power to be given away to some guru, or someone having control over me. But very very soon, it didnt matter, my ‘so called power’ was nothing than a smaller extension of the guru/divine, in me, and now i am happy that i am totally surrendered, as now when i totally surrender i am the entire power of the guru or as much as my little soul pot is big enough to hold.

Recently at a volunteer meet in Delhi, Guruji (Sri Sri) shared that as big as the pot (soul) is that much i give, if its bigger, then i give more, if its so very very big then i myself come and sit in that pot.

Freedom… control… such things are in my humble opinion concepts that are totally wrong. At first, when we know nothing else, they work out… make us think that they are alright, and that there is power to be held back… but give it a deep and relaxed second thought… (here I will get myself excluded from dinner invitations…) Its an Illusion! Control is an illusion, freedom is an illusion… you cannot have what you are! Its like being a drop of water at the beach, looking for the ocean!

I think that having it explained doesn’t help so much either, but it is important, because once we get it explained, an experience follows that will awake in us the moment of realization, and then we know… we go… “OOOOoohhhhhH!!!!!!! NOW I GET IT!!!!”

And then, we get invited to dinner by our peers again and all that great stuff!!! Right lovely Dvorah!? XD

Dvorahji Dvorah Adler 

I do want to add, that the experiences people have and the words they use to describe IT don’t always jibe..
I don’t really know what R.S. “IS LIVING” …
I don’t know his inner experience…
All I know is what he tells me and he says, he’s happy, at peace, not seaching…
so it really doesn’t matter what he says about freedom or control or gurus or whatever…
BEING does it’s thing and we talk about it in our own language with our own interpretations & perceptions

Even if you use the definitions of great Gurus or Vedas as to to what the ultimate state looks like in a person—A person actually ‘LIVING” THAT STATE might give an explanation that sound ludicrous and ignorant. You’d have to really talk to someone in order to discover where they’re really at.

If you read Nisargaddatta or even Ramesh, he questions people as to what they know, and what they’re feeling. Some Guru’s have Siddhis and can just read your life backwards & forwards. Other have ordinary intuition or a combination of the two..

Sri Sri is loaded with Siddhis (you’d never know it) as they happen very naturally and he doesn’t talk about them or flaunt them. But if you’re intuitive & a keen observer, you can recognize them at the time & in retrospect. They flow very naturally in him. Read what his devotees have experienced with him…it’s very inspiring..

I’ve had so many unexpected experiences with him, they’re almost common place. Last time I was with him at Guru Purnima, I finally ended up in the foyer of his hotel with about 20 others before having to leave for the airport.

I was sitting talking to someone & it occured to me (only for a moment) that I was not going to be able to eat if I stayed in the room. I let the thought go and decided it was worth not eating if I could stay a little longer. Sri Sri was in the other room eating & having a meeting.

Someone told me that Sri Sri’s Assistant was looking for me. I didn’t want to go, because I was sure they were going to throw me out and I wanted to stay to see him again, so I pretended I didn’t get the message.

Finally his assistant sees me and I have no choice and I’m resigned that I’ll have to leave. Instead of throwing me out – she brings me a plate of Sri Sri”s food and says, “Guruji wants you to eat lunch”. I had this light lovely meal, and went back into the foyer. Sri Sri comes in and as he passes me matter of factly says in a soft voice, “Did you eat?”
I nodded blissfully, blown away!

I did give away my power to your guru Dvorahji.. I build a castle of concepts of dos and donts… I am attracted to gurus more articulate than S.S. with not so much of a circus, but that is my taste…everyone makes their pick, and even moving on from one to another is quite expanding…
Trust the source (man, woman) that has trancended the ego, because in the end, before full realization, mind tricks many teachers into thinking, now they’ve got it!!! The divine play can very well be played by egos, and they run the s
how!! That is what most of us do… So as I understand, you are saying egos are also divine 🙂 ? then to draw the line it comes to saying that the whole history of violence is also a divine play… where do you make the distinction, where is discrimination coming in? holy hug from Rishikesh

@Dvorah -I totally resonate with what you shared in the above comment of yours. Glad to have stumbled across you and connected. You are an absolute gem in this new age.

Also, laughed, with the mention that when you stopped counter arguing on illusion you got invited back again for friends dinners 🙂 Strikes a similar chord in me too.

As Sri Sri said on a discourse on buddha’s enlightenment, “words will never make anyone understand, and those that know will not say.”
I have now applied that in my life!
My dear Shutup Guru 🙂

Are You Tripping…..?

Blog

Dvorahji Dvorah Adler if you’re looking for spiritual answers-you’re TRIPPING AS USUAL. The desire to know ‘Who you are” makes you crazy. Does the wind say, “Who am I?” Does the sun say, “Who am I?” Does the tree say, “Who Am I?”. NO! Only the spiritual seeker asks & believes every guru & teacher in town. There are NO answers-ONLY AWESOME VAST HUGE MYSTERIOUS THIS! Life Happening! Everything else is you “THINKING” about what it is.

What you say might be the truth for you, and just hearing somebody’s experience isn’t enough is it? Asking ‘Who Am I’ is perhaps the way to experience the magnanimity that might be possibly within. 🙂

Asking “who am I” is one thing…expecting an answer is another….and the seeker ALWAYS/usually EXPECTS AN ANSWER and usually get one too.

You are too cool. And I get your point now as to what you meant with your status update. The Christian said an extremely interesting thing. He said that the Bible says to kill lambs and goats to pay for our sins. I said its wrong. He said but its the command of God. How could we not do it? I said would you kill a man if God told you to, he said without a doubt in my mind. I was amazed at his faith. Would you kill a man if Guruji asked you too? I think I won’t. Please comment.

That is the most amazing thing…when IT leaves you blank and you really recognize that there is NO ANSWER, AND that every answer you get is a thought in your mind and still you KNOW NOTHING. someone tells you, “all this is consciousness” and you realize that means Nothing to you really. Or someone says “you are everything” and actually those “words” really mean nothing to you…

HOWEVER…there is a “sense” a knowing A BIG GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL PEACEFUL HAPPY SURRENDERED NOTHING that makes sense to you and gives you absolute comfort, safetly, feerless rest – because it’s your NATURE, IT JUST IS – and there’s nothing you can say or hang on to about THAT….you FALL EMPTY OPEN INTO YOURSELF and it’s impossible to search for yourself. Just impossible because there is NO ONE interested in searching for anything.

@Cathy, YEA that’s true – has it helped? Most people feel “holy people” are something special, some thing other then “themselves”…There has never been an answer that ever REALLY satisfied anyone…Any answer has always been very UNSATISFYING for the mind. The mind however figures our a way to live with any answer and make it a revelation, an “enlightening discovery”.

“oh” says the mind “So, now I know who I am, I am consciousness! or I am NOthing”…and it repeats that mantra over and over again and believes it, and never investigates any further. And if it does, it verifies it’s original answer.

But honestly it doesn’t even matter. YOU’RE IT ANYWAY, whether you think it, investigate, ask questions or whatever…life continues to change and live you until it DOESN’T AND IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER…(although we really really really want to think it does)

FAITH is your NATURE means………sometimes (faith as a belief) can move mountains BUT most of the time it doesn’t, but makes you “think” that it can.
True FAITH JUST IS and pretty much “can” do NOTHING, but is EVERYTHING….

you are faith, you cannot have faith. Faith is the natural state of your Being! And that´s why the only thing you ever “have to do” is to relax into that, which you already are… Why that is so tricky for us, is another question 🙂 ♥ ♥ ♥

Indeed!
Faith is often confused as a verb instead of a noun… Ultimately it is actions with an undivided mind can move mountains…faith being just a code name for that state…

Dvorahji Dvorah Adler SriSri–” Anger is because you love perfection. Create a little room for imperfection. Acceptance about imperfection can bring patience…” Dvorahji says–“ACCEPTANCE OF ANGER BRINGS PEACE..RELAX with your Anger-it comes & then it goes. Apologize. Thennnnnn-Stick your tongue out again & again…

reading this sounds true to me, but at the same time it makes me think of all these imperfections I just can’t accept… Some imperfections can be dangerous… how can I handle these?
March 18 at 12:14pm · 
Dvorahji Dvorah Adler

Dvorahji Dvorah Adler 

acceptance means not getting stuck on what you think you do “wrong”…Life is “a happening” and your imperfections like your perfections come & go…All life demands is that you do the best you can and move along to the next moment – where you have another opportunity to start all over again…

BTW…everything is dangerous in excess…

to believe that I could actually have an influence on what is happening in my life, drives me mad… but somehow I do it again and again and again… and when things come different than I would like them to come – BAM! Anger! I actually feel stupid writing this… but it’s true. How can I stop falling in that same trap over an over again? How can I accept, that I am not the writer of this play?

you have a new mantra don’t you? Everytime something happens and IT’S NOT going your way say:
“IF IT COULD BE DIFFERENT, IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT”! then just move on….and repeat it whenever you need it.

btw – we all fall for it! It’s aggravating when it doesn’t go your way, isn’t it? Relax..and use your mantra

Thank you for reminding me of this because for some reason, when some of my grown children come for a visit, my anger comes out. Yes, a couple of the older boys like to smoke weed and i have never smoked it and don’t plan to. They smell like it and then the anger button is pushed. They don’t even live anywhere near me and they just show up every once in a while.
Don’t they know by now to not smoke before coming over for dinner! Besides, they eat everything because of this weed effect….

YaYa Laura– I also have a 23 year old who comes home and there are fights every time and have been for a year or two.. and my 18 year old has been diagnosed as bi-polar so he lives with his dad. Everyone around me seems to belong and feel happy and I am so angry, alone and separate about everything sometimes. Right now I am just coming out of another anger/headache/sleeples/anxious spell… I like your mantra and I hope I’ll remember to use it more

Ask Dvorahji: HOW COME I ONLYI feel so much more silence on a course or with my Guru…

Blog

To honor, to love, to hold in esteem, to adore you teachers/gurus – that’s natural and arises, happens naturally…You can’t help but feel grateful, in love with someone who has offered you wisdom, a new perspective, relief from misery and stress-HOWEVER…
The distraction comes when you miss YOUR NATURE, YOUR wisdom, YOUR natural happiness that YOU are. And begin to think that you can only experience IT on a course, or in your Guru’s presence. You begin to look for a “particular experience” in a “particular place”. And when you leave that place, that course, you feel as if you’ve been thrown out of paradise. And that’s THE LIE. PARADISE/PEACE IS YOUR NATURE. 
Experiences of Peace-Bliss-Gods-invincibi
lity-enthusiasm-confidence
 will ALWAYS come & go-but your NATURE IS. That silence IS-But you WANT the pre-conceived experience of silence SO you miss the OBVIOUS. You miss your NATURE. 
It’s THIS. Close your eyes…THERE YOU ARE. THIS. SILENCE IS YOUR NATURE… PEACE IS YOUR NATURE…you don’t have to go anywhere to find it…it’s just more fun to hang out with your friends, your teachers, your Gurus…and sometimes the Silence is more apparent in their presence, but IT NEVER GOES AWAY – EVER.
A very slight change in perception and THERE IT IS AGAIN. THERE YOU ARE AGAIN. ALWAYS, RELAXED HAPPY, AT PEACE in the midst of the most stressful circumstances. So Relax when you’re in a tight spot – you are always at home, in the right place, being taken care of by the heart of your Guru/your NATURE.!

Ask Dvorahji: Why Can't I just Enjoy my Life?

Blog

It’s hard to “enjoy” a son’s fatal accident a bad fall, losing your home, a loved one, or going to jail… Life does fall into place – but IT’S WAY, not the way “we” want it to show up. Live your life mean, “Accept your life as it shows up” knowing that “if it could be different, it would be different”! Live your life until you die, means live your life in peace, in faith that everything is in Divine Wellness.
Live your life until you die, means, relax, with the events in your life WITHOUT all these questions, rationalization & regrets. Understand that you are not the “doer, maker, planner, shaker” in this life. Understand that life is a mystery, an incredible, unfathomable mystery that you will never get a HANDLE ON…until you DO.
And the only handle you’re going to get is that YOU DON’T KNOW AND SOMEHOW THAT UNFATHOMABLE KNOWLEDGE BRINGS YOU PEACE AND THE SEARCH ENDS. WHY? Because you accept life exactly as it shows up EVEN THO YOU DON’T LIKE IT AT ALL! and you can yell & scream at all the injustice and still DEEP INSIDE you know it’s ALL COMPLETELY the way IT can ONLY BE AND THAT Love, Peace, enlightenment are YOUR NATURE.
Life unfortunately is Usually NOT “enjoyable”…It is h a moment to moment HAPPENING that swings back and forth in thoughts, feelings & actions that sometimes bring happiness or a blissful buzzzz.But enjoying life is a concept, and a ‘meaningless word” to live up to.
There is this belief that everything will work out “your way” if you can just think & act “positive”. And of course that’s BullSh*T! A horrendous concept concocted by New Age Gurus, teachers, hopefuls and soothsayers (who by the way are usually the first to be negative but cover it up with constant affirmations).
LIFE will go your way, when your way coincides with IT’S WAY…IN OTHER WORDS, LIFE IS ALWAYS GOING IT’S WAY, regardless of all your theories, hopes and dreams.
Until this worldly illusion NATURALLY LET’S YOU GO, your best bet for any happiness at all, is to accept life as it shows up and know deep in your heart, that you HAVE DONE THE VERY BEST YOU COULD’VE, WOULD’VE AND SHOULD’VE………Amen! Now you can go and enjoy your life!

I accept the fact that I have horns on my head and that I’m better looking then most Vikings!

It’s “THINKING” about controlling life that’s a thrill…the roller coaster ride is the thrill!!…you don’t CONTROL ANYTHING – EVER! BUT it sure is fun/thrilling to think you do, isn’t it? Gives people something to live for!

no wonder…the art of living has helped me a lot to take on the bitter truth of real world and has gotten me awakened to the core of happiness….i live smiling now….and do shut up….but when i look at my past which was full of bitterness and teasing i do get sad…………and i start asking what is life for……(for a sometime though)..:|

What is it that you want?

Blog

My dear friends: Live until you die…and watch & see what happens in-between…IT’S JUST THAT SIMPLE!
All this philosophy and nonsense about “how great it is to have a human body and how you’ve wasted your time if you don’t go for enlightenment” and blah blah blah from a million and one gurus and all their disciples, devotees, yoga teachers, healers and holy wannabes…..HONESTLY IT’S EMBARRASSING to see the fantasies we’ve all bought into. LIVE YOUR LIFE….IT’S ALWAYS WORTHWHILE (even tho it’s totally awesomely meaningless) without wanting so much passing air!!! And know that YOU ALWAYS DO/DID/WILL DO THE VERY BEST YOU COULD’VE, WOULD’VE, & SHOULD’VE!!!!! 
Just live your life…move along and just LIVE YOUR LIFE without all these ridiculous “what ifs” and “if only I could’ve” and “why can’t I be more…” and “I’ve got to get rid of my ego:” and “My meditations suck…” and “why can’t I be like my guru” and “what am I doing wrong” and “why do I eat junk” and “why can’t I keep my thoughts pure” and “how come I can’t be more refined” and “why don’t I have any money” and how come I always fail” and ON AND ON AND ON with the most stupid nonsense your mind can drum up TO KEEP YOU FROM BEING HAPPY: And accepting yourself exactly as you are.
GO OUTSIDE…OPEN YOUR EYES…LOOK AT THE TREES, THE SKY…Look at the birds!!!!…are they always questioning their existence? Always asking why they’re wasting their life? Why did they do that, or think that or feel that! 
FACE IT! You are no different then any life around you and you are made of the same material as the rest of the world and you come and go like everything ELSE in your life. 
So please, don’t think you’re so special, so holy, so ungodly, so magnificent that you can discover the secret of LIFE. YOU ARE THE SECRET OF LIFE. LIVE!! JUST LIVE UNTIL YOU DIE! OK?
Love you Dvorahji

We choose NOTHING…If you “think” you’re

Be NATURAL….
