  1. All was only to reach You, This world was never for staying, but for burning, My right hand rose to heaven, my left touched the earth, I turned, The Truth was in the heart, And life revealed itself in the heart...
  2. Moreover, Ramana Maharshi “The mind says ‘I am,’ and thinks the world is separate. But when the ‘I’ is known as the Self, the world is not separate; it is the same Self appearing in many forms.” Papaji “There is no ‘other’ and no ‘me’ in reality. The mind imagines duality. When you see this, all solipsism disappears—it is only a mental play.” Krishnamurti “Solipsism is the ego pretending the world exists only as its idea. Freedom is to see life as it is, not as a projection of the self.” Osho “Solipsism is the last trick of the ego: ‘Only I exist.’ When ego dies, only existence remains, and life flows through all forms. Then you are neither alone nor separate.” Rumi “Who thinks ‘I alone am’? All is God’s play. The soul is the witness; the self is the drop in the ocean. Solipsism is forgetting the ocean.” Ibn Arabi “All that appears as ‘I’ and ‘other’ is the manifestation of the One. Those who cling to ‘I’ alone see only a shadow. Reality is the One revealing itself in multiplicity.” Imam Ghazali “Whoever thinks only of his own existence ignores the signs of Allah in creation. True knowledge is witnessing the unity of all being in God.” Prophet Muhammad “None of you lives for himself alone; and none dies for himself alone.” (Qur’an 4:78, 6:164) Jesus “Apart from me you can do nothing, and I am not alone; the Father is with me and in you.” (John 15:5, 14:10) Yunus Emre “I am nothing, You are all. Whoever sees only ‘I’ has closed the door. Open it with Love.” Solipsism (Ego Illusion) Mind says: “I alone exist.” Feeling: Separate, isolated, controlling, fearful or superior. Manifestation: Life is a projection of “my” thoughts. Teachers’ warnings: Ramana: world appears separate. Papaji: duality is imagined. Krishnamurti: ego creates a false private world. Osho: “Only I exist” is the last trick of ego. Rumi: forgetting the ocean; seeing only the drop. Ibn Arabi: cling to “I,” see only shadow. Imam Ghazali: ignoring the signs of God in creation. Muhammad ﷺ: none lives for himself alone. Jesus: apart from me, you can do nothing. Yunus Emre: seeing only “I” closes the door. Realized Awareness / Dissolution of Solipsism Nothing needs to be claimed; all flows. Feeling: Unity, openness, peace, effortless presence. Manifestation: Life flows through you naturally; you are witness and Self simultaneously. Teachers’ guidance: Ramana: world is same Self in many forms. Papaji: no “other,” no “me”; duality disappears. Krishnamurti: see life as it is, not as your projection. Osho: life flows through all forms; you are not alone. Rumi: the self is a drop in the ocean; God’s play is everything. Ibn Arabi: the One manifests in multiplicity. Imam Ghazali: witness unity in God. Muhammad ﷺ: live and die not for self alone. Jesus: the Father is with me and in you. Yunus Emre: open the heart; see beyond “I.” This shows the shift from ego centered solipsism to witnessing unity as described consistently across all masters. Best Regards, With Love,
  3. Look into the mirror and see how beautiful body is. Everything is perfectly placed, eyes, hair, legs, nose and each detail in harmony. Look at the body: it breathes on its own, pumps the heart without asking, lets the liver work without question. The mind says “I am in charge,” but when you look closely, you see it is not true. The body does not ask the mind for permission to beat the heart. Life flows by its own intelligence. Nothing is under control, yet everything moves flawlessly. Still, the mind whispers, “I am in charge,” and creates a false distinction. But this is the real nature of reality: not the ego’s illusion, but the Truth itself. Remember this always: every judgment, hatred, dislike, fear, separation, and negativity comes from the mind. They are born of the illusion "me" and “others.” Love, compassion, and unity flow naturally when you rest as the Truth. Because the Truth is not separate. It is the one reality in all beings. When you recognize this clearly, helping another is simply helping yourself. So in short, if there is separation as between wise and ignorant, that's the ego. İf there is just You. Then done.
  4. The external entities such as the earth, and the personal entities such as the body, are unreal like the snake imagined on a rope or like dream, magic, etc., in accordance with the Vedic Text, "All modification exists only in name, having speech for its support", and the Self is that which exists within and without, that is birthless, without cause and effect, without any inside or outside, full, all-pervasive like space, subtle, motionless, attributeless, partless, and actionless, as is indicated in the Vedic Text, "That is truth, that is the Self, and That thou art", having seen, the Reality in this way, one should have one's delight only in the Self, and not in anything external like one lacking in realization, who accepts the mind as the Self, and thinks the Self to be changing in accordance with the changes of the mind, or at times accepts the body etc. to be the Self and thinks, "I am now alienated from Reality, that is the Self"; and when at times the mind becomes concentrated, who thinks himself to be united with Reality and in peace under the belief, "I am now identified with Reality". The knower of the Self should not be like that, because the nature of the Self is ever the same, and because it is impossible for anything to change its nature; and one should be forever unwavering from Reality, under the conviction, "I am Brahman", that is to say, he should ever have the consciousness of Reality that is the Self, in accordance with such Smrti texts as "The enlightened man views equally a dog or an outcast, "He who sees the supreme Lord existing equally in all beings". (Adi Shankara, Commentary on The Mandukya Upanishad) By @Joseph Maynor

  6. @Mellowmarshsolipsim is not even an awakening, forget even enlightenment. Just mind is claiming ownership. Best Regards,
  7. Just suffer brother, rely on "you". I did my best for you. With love,
  8. Actually Osho has a great say: “Your absence is the presence of the divine; your presence is the absence of the divine".

  10. When the mind and ego fall away, the God alone remains. The body lives, moves, and acts, but it is no longer the ego that acts, it is the God. This is the natural, effortless manifestation of Truth. It is not brutal in reality; it only feels brutal to the ego. The ego suffers because it is about to lose control and control is all it has ever sought. Its sense of purpose, its identity, its very reason for existing, is tied to domination. When that slips away, the ego experiences resistance, fear, and turmoil. But for the Self, there is nothing harsh at all.
  11. Those who do not recognize the Truth while living remain trapped in the body and mind. They experience life bound by suffering, fear, and limitation. Yet, in the end, they return to the Source, as all beings do. But those who “die before they die,” as Rumi said, awaken while still alive. They realize they are not the body, not the mind. Life flows through them, effortlessly, and each moment becomes an expression of Love. The purpose of life is simple and profound: to be Love. If one never recognizes the Truth within life, one cannot fully become Love. Life then remains constrained, limited, and full of suffering. In that case, the entire lifetime passes wasted, untouched by the boundless joy and freedom that are already present. Therefore, whether you suffer or not, whether you realize who You truly are or remain lost in illusion, You are always what You are. You cannot escape your own Being. All I offer is the beauty of life, the effortless, boundless life that flows naturally when the ego is no longer in charge. This beauty cannot arise through the ego; it is only visible when you rest as your true Self, untouched, free, and awake to what already is. Best Regards,
  12. Exactly. Actually, when we say God is all, it is not even true, even word of g-o-d. Because, even letter is different. Actually, the moment is the mirror. No.
  13. Look at the mirror, and see how beautiful You are. Everything perfectly settled, eyes, hair, legs, nose, etc... Look at the body, working is own, doesn't ask should I breath, should I pump the heart always, should liver works now, meanwhile, nothing is under control. Meanwhile mind says I am on charge and there is distinction. That's what the nature of reality. Not the Ego's, but the Truth. Just remember this any judgement, hate, dislike, fear, separation, negativity comes from the mind, which separation as there is others. But, Love, compassion, helping, sharing, caring comes from the Truth, because there is no separation nor others.
  14. I am very sorry to interrupt. All I am saying is the person must die, and God has to live through him. And yes, it is brutal for the ego / person. But, it is only the way. Because, the veil is the person itself, who is responsible for separation. Not, God.
  15. There is no distinction. Only for ego/mind. But of course, ego denies the Truth inevitably. Because, it is so scared to dissolve. Meanwhile, what underlines is pure beauty.
  16. Definitely. Chasing = getting far. watching the chaser=done. He should replay the fight club again 😊
  17. @Inliytened1 @Carl-Richard just be witness till witness and witnessed dissolves or dissapears.
  18. You are just watching the life through the body. And when body dies movie ends. But You are always what You are. Only, movie is made of You. Death only happens to the body. Life and death happen inside You, but You are never touched.
  19. Don't worry, when you keep witnessing, witness and witnessed dissolves.
  20. No. İt is possible. And that's what enlightenment is. Body is alive not You. You are just watching the life through the body. And when body dies movie ends. But You are always what You are. Only, movie is made of You. Death only happens to the body. Life and death happen inside You, but You are never touched. Check this out:
  21. These are arising, be witness of falling. Best Regards,
