hello from prague

Recommended Posts

Hello from Prague, Czech Republic.

I have many years practicing meditation, specially self enquiry meditation. As many here in this forum, I aim for enlightenment. 

I have read mostly stuff by Ramana Maharshi and Papaji, but now im very open to Budhism. And also I listen to any type of suggestions.

It would be great to communicate and if possible, to meet someone who has realized. Is that person here in this website?

I have experienced periods of moderate joy thanks to meditation, long time ago. I dont think i can call that satori/samadhi, but at least it has given me motivation to continue.

I dont aim for siddhis, I want the big prize, realization. Still, so many thoughts forces are in the middle. 

:)

Who is the "I" that wants these things? Answer that before you move on. You may very well discover that you are standing in your own way.

 

May you find what you seek.

hello Lostintranslation

I appreciate your comment and your suggestion. However, as I said in my post, i have practiced the self enquiry meditation, and that includes the "who am i?" question. This question i have asked to myself thousands of times. I wonder if you got the answer.

Have a nice day and a better tomorrow.
