“Practice makes perfect, but nobody's perfect, so why practice?”
― Kurt Cobain

“The search for Nirvana, like the search for Utopia or the end of history or the classless society, is ultimately a futile and dangerous one. It involves, if it does not necessitate, the sleep of reason. There is no escape from anxiety and struggle.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Love, Poverty, and War: Journeys and Essays

“No True Talent is fully organic. Yet the superior talented have not only control of study but that extra special, little gift at birth--fueled by passion.A built in, totally spiritual, unexplainable, New Age,fuckin cosmic energy bursting love for passion. And yes,they are an even smaller percent amongst the small percent. And they are special!”
― Kurt Cobain

“These are the three stages of enlightenment, the three glimpses of satori.

1. The first stage enlightenment:
A Glimpse of the Whole

The first stage of enlightenment is short glimpse from faraway of the whole. It is a short glimpse of being.
The first stage of enlightenment is when, for the first time, for a single moment the mind is not functioning. The ordinary ego is still present at the first stage of enlightenment, but you experience for a short while that there is something beyond the ego.
There is a gap, a silence and emptiness, where there is not thought between you and existence.
You and existence meet and merge for a moment.
And for the first time the seed, the thirst and longing, for enlightenment, the meeting between you and existence, will grow in your heart.

2. The second stage of enlightenment:
Silence, Relaxation, Togetherness, Inner Being

The second stage of enlightenment is a new order, a harmony, from within, which comes from the inner being. It is the quality of freedom.
The inner chaos has disappeared and a new silence, relaxation and togetherness has arisen.
Your own wisdom from within has arisen.
A subtle ego is still present in the second stage of enlightenment.
The Hindus has three names for the ego:
1. Ahamkar, which is the ordinary ego.
2. Asmita, which is the quality of Am-ness, of no ego. It is a very silent ego, not aggreessive, but it is still a subtle ego.
3. Atma, the third word is Atma, when the Am-ness is also lost. This is what Buddha callas no-self, pure being.
In the second stage of enlightenment you become capable of being in the inner being, in the gap, in the meditative quality within, in the silence and emptiness.
For hours, for days, you can remain in the gap, in utter aloneness, in God.
Still you need effort to remain in the gap, and if you drop the effort, the gap will disappear.
Love, meditation and prayer becomes the way to increase the effort in the search for God.
Then the second stage becomes a more conscious effort. Now you know the way, you now the direction.

3. The third stage of enlightenment:
Ocean, Wholeness, No-self, Pure being

At the third stage of enlightenment, at the third step of Satori, our individual river flowing silently, suddenly reaches to the Ocean and becomes one with the Ocean.
At the third Satori, the ego is lost, and there is Atma, pure being. You are, but without any boundaries. The river has become the Ocean, the Whole.
It has become a vast emptiness, just like the pure sky.
The third stage of enlightenment happens when you have become capable of finding the inner being, the meditative quality within, the gap, the inner silence and emptiness, so that it becomes a natural quality.
You can find the gap whenever you want.
This is what tantra callas Mahamudra, the great orgasm, what Buddha calls Nirvana, what Lao Tzu calls Tao and what Jesus calls the kingdom of God.
You have found the door to God.
You have come home.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten

“Yes, there is a Nirvanah; it is leading your sheep to a green pasture, and in putting your child to sleep, and in writing the last line of your poem”
― Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam

“I would love to be erased from our association with Pearl Jam or the Nymphs and other first time offenders.”

― Gautama Buddha, The Dhammapada

“Sometimes, you can't save someone from themselves.”

“Nirvana is right here, in the midst of the turmoil of life. It is the state you find when you are no longer driven to live by compelling desires, fears, and social commitments, when you have found your center of freedom and can act by choice out of that. Voluntary action out of this center is the action of the bodhisattvas -- joyful participation in the sorrows of the world. You are not grabbed, because you have released yourself from the grabbers of fear, lust, and duties.”
― Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

“It is said that love does not last, that it is just a momentary spell cast upon your soul by some higher power, or a small trick of the mind. If this were all true, there would be no story to tell.”
― Natalie Valdes, NIRVANA

“Ništa od toga nije posebno i novo, pak nijedna ideja, nikakva vizija ni grijeh. Živio si ranije, lovio si ranije, čak si prije svega i umro, a tok se nastavljao neometano, i nedirano raskajanošću, ni bijesom, uopće uskrata neodnosna tobom, ti si mislio da si zarobljen, a stubokom, sve vrijeme, nisi tu ni bio, kao sjena bivanja, sjeti se, gdje li se izbavljenju stremi, ne mora li biti opisana jednako i sjena, želiš li što pustiti, objasni što ispuštaš, čega li se odričeš - ocrtaj, opiši - je li memorija, laž, samo nada u laž, od čega to još
zajednički, svaki ovaj dan mi bježimo...”
― Ivan Baran, Veliki pad

“Nježni ponent hujeći poja zibljući polugole grmove pri tajanstvenu, istrajno živu, živopisno čarovitu odsječku ovozemnog postojanja, isto nekako vrckavo, nemirno u višebojnom, brzajućem, titravom razmetanju kojim eto i govori, izjašnjava se neodstupajuće da i on je tu. Oko nas srebro stijenja, vrtača, vododerinama se raspada smeđezelena mrtva mahovina, gdješto je prljavohrđava, prlja bjeljavinu kamenja kano je drobljiva kaluga.
U taktu takvoga postojanja, ja slušam glas Atre:
“Naveo si me na nešto čemu sam se protivio, čemu sam od početka zapravo bio i neprijatelj. Zatražio si me da posegnem i ocrtam ti svrhu. Da kažem dostojanstveno što je krv postojanja. Jer i ono je uvjetovano time, ja osjećam da se ti osjećaš uvrijeđeno, poniženo u neograđenosti samoga sebe, tebi je zbilja i mučna ova sloboda. Ja bih zaista volio, bio bih i počašćen, kad bi ti prihvatio, a zašto ne i sada u ovom ž�����dz�u, evo sada dok hodamo prema niskom suncu, da je postojanje garantirano nepostojanjem, jedno je odraz drugoga i taj garant je jedini okov koji ti se može ponuditi.
“Atra... ali mene izluđuje neprestajuća nepredviđenost, beskrajno snalaženje, već mi je bljutava moja vlastitost i oslon na nju, zašto misliš kad bih pristao, ako bih već i mogao, a znam da ne mogu, da bi to bilo išta manje od mrcvarenja. Jedno jastvo rastegnuto između potpunih ispraznosti, pak na njima izgrađeno, dograđeno, uzdignuto prema jalovim visinama, a tako niskim visinama... U jednom ž�����dz�u sam ti o moći pripovijedao, o njezinoj ukupnosti, sadržini koja negira nepovredivost postojanja, čovjeka negira i oskvrnjuje ga, dokle istodobno njegova pojava, sam taj proces da je on tu, finalni jamac je bezvlasnog sljepila; moje već prisuće poriče ultimativni identitet i ono nije neopasno, unatoč tomu što sam sve vrijeme doista samo ja tu.��
Prepoznat ću da izgovaranje riječi ako i rovito, razdrta glasa u razgaru misli me prikučuje ipak snažnije svemu onomu izvanjskom, kroz rastinje vukući tijelo čak i tako uz himbu smjelosti ustuk sam oćutio marazma duše i ja opažam pod progalinom kao polazište, plamsaj svega posvemašnjeg ne više no nemir neprilježni, tako posve opušteno, stuporozno, stupidno prolazim zarudjelim trnjakom makije, zuljećim u ćuhu vjetra, svrstavajući nepomirljivost, ratoljublje, krvoločje drzovito kao čak posljednjeg zastupnika svega onostranog. Ali u tom razumijevanju, krvlju crljeno izmrljanom lovcu ja svejedno sada govoriti prepuštam:
“Ako se neka pojava trgne i odluči razglasiti da počinje naglašavati počelo stvari, recimo to, makar se time obraćala grotlu, mraku, samom koncu svega vlastitog - zbilja ona zbori eliminaciji sebe -, takva pojava zapravo prelako prilazi stupici kojoj upravo uz mene dolaziš i ti, pored toga što sam ti suputnik, pristojno se osvrćem na bogomračje, zaozbiljno i zatečen kako te zaobišla misao. Neprikladna je, teško prihvatljiva, veliki je pad čovjeka potreban kako bi se vidjelo i sa dna; u veličini vidjeti voljnost da sve nestane u bilo kojem trenutku, ali ne takvu ogorčenu težnju kakva je tvoja, već voljeti proces, biti proces, ja vrijedim onoliko koliko mi je malo stalo do toga, neogorčeno, ponavljam, ali dolično. Želiš izaći iz procesa, iz ritma, biti mrak, od čega sam ja recimo... a što dalje? Razumiješ li da fantazija - a mi znamo da je sve cilik perlica i šuštaj vea šarenih u svjetlu smrvljena zrcala, sve je i naivna sanja - razumiješ li da ona nije negacija niti opravdanje zazora stvarnosti, ono opipljivo i dalje je ozbiljno, i dalje šteti, ondje pak njeguje, uzdiže, sokoli, tu se nasiljem otimlje u borbi za ž�����dz�, ja ne moram biti stvaran da bih bio sirov, i mogu zaista naškoditi i
onda kad me nema.”

“One of the many great things about taking breaks from screens and devices is that it forces you to be still. This stillness can be very uncomfortable, but it also gives your brain a chance to breathe--and to come up with new ideas. As I sat there, contemplating my empty play tank and my inevitable march toward death, I asked myself a question ... What is something you've always said you wanted to do but that you supposedly don't have time for?”
― Catherine Price, The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again

“The Naskar Code (Sonnet)

Kainat** is my qaum*,
Universe is my aum.
Carrying **cosmos in my chest,
every *community is my home.

Sat* is my nam-e,
*Honesty, my identity.
I am the one who is,
reflection of all humanity.

Bodhi* and dharma** are key to life,
lifting us high above the animals.
*Awareness wakes us to divine vision,
**Duty is the seed of civilization.

Valley of life is without elite divide,
Science, philosophy, divine, all are one.
Scientist, Poet, Dervish, or Philosopher,
Adjectives though plenty, noun is but one.”

“¿Quién soy yo para buscarte
así, Cobain, incluso si la cartomancia seguramente sea placebo? ¿Quién soy yo para darte ese lugar de padre y de guía
y de rey sucio al que obedeceré siempre con la parte más
triste de mí? No soy nadie y, sin embargo, lo lloro y le escribo, finalmente, esta declaración desorbitada, de fuego fatuo,
instigando más vergüenza porque la realidad es que quisiera
parar, pero solo sé escribir.”
― Lourdes López Suyai, El día que quise hablar con Kurt Cobain

“There is no other grand design, except a beautiful human mind.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology

“God is not a goal, nirvana is not a goal, enlightenment is not a goal, it is not an achievement -- just the contrary. When you have forgotten ALL goals, when you have dropped the whole achieving mind, enlightenment is -- enlightenment is a state of no-mind.

And enlightenment is nothing special. It is the most ordinary, natural phenomenon. It looks special because you make a goal out of it.

You will have to learn ways of relaxing in the present. Enlightenment is not an effort to achieve something. It is a state of effortlessness. It is a state of no-action. It is a state of tremendous passivity, receptivity. 

and you are suddenly at home. Nothing is being missed. You are part, an organic part of this tremendous, beautiful whole. You are relaxed in it, surrendered in it. You don't exist separately -- all separation has disappeared.

A great rejoicing happens, because with the ego disappearing there is no worry left, with the ego disappearing there is no anguish left, with the ego disappearing there is no possibility of death any more. This is what enlightenment is. It is the understanding that all is good, that all is beautiful -- and t is beautiful as it is. Everything is in tremendous harmony, in accord.

The stars are in accord with the grass leaves, the earth is in accord with the sky, the rivers are in accord with the mountains. Everything is in such accord that existence is an orchestra. Everything is rhythmic, in tune. Existence is music. That experience is enlightenment. And you are not separate from it like an observer, like a spectator. The observer and the observed are one, the seer and the seen are one -- you are it!

It is a great participation. You have fallen into she whole and the whole has fallen into you. The drop has dropped into the ocean and the ocean has dropped into the drop. It is impossible to say anything more about it. It is impossible to say, in fact, anything about it. It can only be experienced.”
