A master thief waited his whole life to acquire the most beautiful diamond in the world. When he heard it had been purchased, he spent three days trying to steal the rare jewel from the owner, but failed. Finally, in exasperation, the thief walked right up to the owner and asked, "How did you hide this precious jewel from me?" To which the owner replied, "I placed it where I knew you would never lookâin your own pocket," and pulled the diamond out of the thief's pocket.
"As long as you are searching for it, it cannot be found," says Gangaji. During this retreat, we experience how it is effortlessly possible, regardless of circumstance, to stop the endless activity of our mind and discover the radiant diamond of who we really are. When the body can rest and the mind can stop its usual activities of planning, figuring, seeking, and avoiding, there is every possibility of recognizing the peace that is always present.
Gangaji invites and challenges us to be still in pure presence. Not to create that, not even to invite it, but simply to recognize what is always here, who we always are, and where God always is.
Gangaji is an American-born spiritual teacher dedicated to pointing to freedom through simple and direct self-inquiry, as revealed by the legendary sage Sri Ramana Maharshi of India. In 1990, Gangaji (then Antoinette Roberson Varner) entered this lineage through Sri H.W.L. Poonjaji. Since that time, she has traveled the world, holding gatherings and retreats with spiritual seekers of all faiths. She is the author of many CDs and books, including The Diamond in Your Pocket and You Are THAT!.
Gangaji will have a silent retreat in Silver Bay, New York September 16-22. For more information, please follow this link http://www.gangaji.org/satsang/schedules/retreats/silverbay.asp |
