If you want to know Truth directly, if you want to know what enlightenment is--you should go to Nome. There is no doubt that he is the most authentic Spiritual Teacher alive today in the Western World. Nome teaches pure Advaita Vedanta in the manner of Ramana Maharshi. Nome is a fully awakened sage of the highest realization. There is not even the slightest trace of ego left in his satvic human form. Radiating with bliss and humility, he seems to function in the world as a sage yet he is not of this world. Why do so few people come to him? Perhaps it is because he offers no entertainment or consolation to the persona of the seeker. His hair does not blow in the wind and he doesn’t dole out shaktipat. He has written no popular bestsellers (preferring to translate the splendid Vedic Classics). He simply abides as the Self. His Teaching has been the same pure Truth for 30 years. He will not let you stop at partial awakening. If you would only listen and take this perfect teaching to heart, he will take you all the way until there is absolutely no doubt and nothing left over. CeeAs Nome has said, awakening does not happen TO a human being, awakening is FROM (being identified with the form of) a human being. The whole persona and it’s apparent history are understood to be utterly unreal. What is left is pure BEING-CONSCIOUSNESS–BLISS. This is the wonderful truth of everyone.
The Self is the One who seeks for truth. The Self is the One who teaches, the Self is the One who wakes itself up to Itself. Since there is only One Brilliant Self there are no words spoken at all. “Silence is most eloquent” the Maharshi reveals. |
