There's a living to be made in understanding though. But beginningless ignorance is where the big game hunters go. Upanishads are the first self-help books and to this date unsurpassed. Rare is homosapien birth, longing for release, and a nondual guru. You never get what you want. What you really want is more. You were never no sunflower, sunflower. You are… ## [Gradual Enlightenment](http://www.aumdada.com/2026/08/260822st1802.html) _2026-08-22 · Unknown · aumdada maya studios_ The time between understanding and realization is called gradual enlightenment. From an enlightened point of view, there's only spontaneous enlightenment, of course. Another name for this self-reflexive universe in Maya is gradual enlightenment. Similar to deep sleep, dreaming, and waking, there are three stages of gradual enlightenment: beginningless ignorance, the dawn of understanding, and… ## [My Personal Ground](http://www.aumdada.com/2026/08/260822st2113.html) _2026-08-22 · Unknown · aumdada maya studios_ On the substrate of satcitananda, namarupa is superimposed. Aham Brahmasmi. They say consciousness-existence is my personal ground. And there's no doubt when one really looks into it. People are nothing but names and forms, and not exactly carved in Brahman. The wind cries Maya. ## [Spacetime in the Whites](http://www.aumdada.com/2026/08/260819wd2134.html) _2026-08-20 · Unknown · aumdada maya studios_ shizukasa ya / iwa ni shimi-iru / semi no koe In New England, Mount Washington is like the Absolute. Actually, the Gulf of Maine is like the Absolute. Mount Washington is like Isvara, first in our hearts. I never conquered Washington but I did do Lafayette. Negotiating Lafayette is why I'm in the mile-high club. I merely drove up Mount Mitchell and Pike's Peak. Silence! Entering rock and slowly… ## [The Mithya of Spacetime](http://www.aumdada.com/2026/08/260819wd1956.html) _2026-08-19 · Unknown · aumdada maya studios_ Space isn't nothing. Space is the manifestation of consciousness. Time is measured in seconds. It's the third dimension of duality. A square circle is unreal. Consciousness-existence is real. Thinking and living is mithya. ## [Creating Spacetime](http://www.aumdada.com/2026/08/260819wd1840.html) _2026-08-19 · Unknown · aumdada maya studios_ Saguna Brahman creates spacetime with its power of Maya. This foremost God is called Isvara in Vedanta. Praise be! Like reflections of clouds in a lake, like dreams in a sleeping mind— spacetime appears in the timeless and spaceless Nirguna Brahman. ## [Reorientation 101](http://www.aumdada.com/2026/08/260815st1553.html) _2026-08-15 · Unknown · aumdada maya studios_ 1. Ten Thousand Tongues The mind appears in Brahman. The mind is made of Brahman. The mind is activated by Brahman. The mind is witnessed by Brahman. There is nothing for Turiyam to witness. The mind creates in twos. The mind deconstructing itself is nondual. Nothing said is completely true. Every word speaks in ten thousand tongues. They say wisdom points. But everyone is looking from their own… ## [Made in Consciouness](http://www.aumdada.com/2026/08/260811tu1917.html) _2026-08-11 · Unknown · aumdada maya studios_ You are that. I am Brahman. You minus maya are brahman. I minus avidya am atman. Ayam atma brahma. Dreams are relatively real from the viewpoint of a dream. Dreams appear in the mind and are made out of mind. The waking dream appears in consciousness and is made out of consciousness. Further, consciousness is brahman. There's nothing to do unless you're a doer. If so, stop doing that. Nondoing is… ## [Treasure Islands](http://www.aumdada.com/2026/08/260811tu1635.html) _2026-08-11 · Unknown · aumdada maya studios_ 1. Treasuring Oneself Some say the metaphysical ground of nondual consciousness is ordinary awareness and that's true if such nonconceptual awareness is understood to be the witness of both dream states and deep sleep as well. The universe is Brahman with attributes arising from the power of Maya called Isvara, that universal consciousness, god of gods. An individual consciousness such as a person… ## [From any door to your door (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/eWDas2X3Cr23) _2026-08-11 · **Sponsored**_ Book rides, errands, deliveries, groceries and home help in one app ## [Selected Upadesa Sahasri Verses (transcreation in progress)](http://www.aumdada.com/2026/07/selected-upadesa-sahasri-verses-work-in.html) _2026-08-11 · Unknown · aumdada maya studios_ In the post-war years, western and western-inspired scholarship, notably that of Paul Hacker and Sengaku Mayeda, has tended to show that the only surviving independent work that can with safety be ascribed to Śaṃkara is the Upadeśa Sāhasrī or Thousand Teachings in both its prose and verse parts—though it would be incautious to suppose that there was finality in this judgement. ~A.J. Alston 1.… ## [A Nondual Job](http://www.aumdada.com/2026/08/260808st1446.html) _2026-08-08 · Unknown · aumdada maya studios_ Dropping the metaparadigm of scientific materialism is job one. But it's not a matter of doing or not doing but effortless nondoing. The body-mind doesn't manufacture consciousness like a dark satanic mill. Consciousness is the nondual substrate upon which a body-mind is superimposed. People are like silver balls in a pinball machine not knowing it. The power of brahman is maya. Avidya is its… ## [4 Mahavakyas in 3/5 of a 2nd](http://www.aumdada.com/2026/07/260711st1807.html) _2026-07-11 · Unknown · aumdada maya studios_ Philosophy is full of words. There are four mahavakyas used in countless variations. If consciousness is the metaphysical gound called brahman, and the innermost self called atman is brahman, then I am brahman, tattvamasi. footnotes 1. I minus avidya equals that minus maya means tattvamasi. 2. Objects are seen in the mind when the mind is turned on for both dream states. 3. When the mind is turned… ## [Suddenlyte](http://www.aumdada.com/2026/07/260708wd1805.html) _2026-07-09 · Unknown · aumdada maya studios_ Consciousness-existence is the ground upon which this world is turning, twisting, slithering. Don't take this personally but you're not a person. Deconstruct the smoke and mirrors until suddenly things become transparent. You're beyond spacetime and there are no words. Footnotes 1.

"The one seer is self-evident. That substrate shall not be negated." "True knowledge refutes false knowledge. A person is liberated without desiring so."
