Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

Awakening - Alina Shalev
Alina Shalev commented on her own status:
"The Awakened One does nothing; but leaves nothing undone; for all things are happening all the time around and through the Awakened One. " ~ Sri Bhagavan.
David Paul McBride: personally I think the whole "effortless" thing is a bit foggy, because what you're really doing is identifying and ceasing all actions- resistance- that stand between you and Realization. it's effortless because our whole lives we are in motion and so to be totally still is a foreign concept. I know I don't have it mastered, I seem to have been better at it a year or two ago than I am now. finding the way to make it effortless and just be in that space is quite a search- and you're not searching for anything! it's effortless but discovering that effortlessness can take tremendous time and attention. I guess attention is really what it comes down to. the power of concentration.
Alina Shalev: beautifully said, David. It all comes down to attention.... Like we said: AWARENESS, awareness and the last step: awareness.... Sending you Blessings!
David Paul McBride- enlightenment: made possible by Jesus Christ, Gautama the Buddha, Quan Yin, Tara, AmmaBhagavan, several thousand others of all sorts of cultural backgrounds, and of course, Thomas Edison.Uaris Jan: "The natural state is a satisfied life. And the only way to know this state is to know one's true Self...and you can only know this by making no effort." - Poonja Papaji
I found doing meditation with Bhagavan helps a lot on a path of "no effort" - till that time having been taking deeksha and doing chakra dyana, etc. for 4 years - didn't work with me... But when I asked Bhagavan for being in Oneness - He gave me to aware what it is ... and it was beautiful! On-line meditation really works.
