A Meditation on Melting in the Silence - Profound Pointings of Ilie Cioara (4)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2021
- These poems/stanzas of profound pointings written by Ilie Cioara have been formatted for the purpose of a guided meditation. Excerpts taken from the book by Cioara, "I Am Boundlessness" - translated by Petrica Verdes and with thanks to Petricia for gifting all of Ilie's books to me and permission to read/share them here.
Ilie Cioara (1916 - 2004) was an enlightened mystic who did not belong to any lineage. He is unique in a way, in the sense that he lived in almost complete isolation, in Romania, Eastern Europe in a communist country, completely oblivious of nonduality, Zen, etc. Originally a Christian mystic, he practiced a mantra for over 20 years. One day, he felt an intuitive impulse to drop the mantra, and just practice the silence of the mind, by listening to the noises on the street, in the now. After following this practice for a few years, one morning, as he was waking up from his sleep, he realised the veils had completely dropped. His description of meditation is fresh and devoid of any tradition and jargon.

You Dear Samaneri have the unique gift to influence so many lives by revealing all these jewels! Thank you! Your readings have certainly changed my life. Big Hugs.
So true! Wouldn’t have known of most of these texts without her!
Still one of the most wonderful, natural testaments to the eternal Truth . Sooo good.
I was gifted with direct experience of this absolute truth just last evening. Every single word of this Immaculate knowing is true exactly as described. Take Heart All You Weary Wanderers. You are Home 🌼🙏🌟❤️🌻
Funny, I had the same experience.

I'm sure you realise you are a stream cutting a channel through the mud of confusion - divine work we are so blessed to share.
31:37 Attention is the priceless instrument, encountering the pointless movement of the confused self.
Ilie Cioara is new to me and I was glad to see it come up last night. I have been looking forward to learning something about his teachings. Well, this Meditaion really bowled me over and I have now listened to all of your offerings related to his books and poems. I am so glad to have found this source of knowledge and inspiration.

I turned 66 yesterday. About 35 years ago, without absolutely any intention on my part, my mind suddenly stopped. I fell out of all this. It was overwhelming, new, and strange. I had not meditated or read widely about spirituality, religion and all the other stuff. It came and went several times and culminated in a sort of "I am everywhere, everything " state. I knew for sure it was neither a dream nor hallucination. It was a more solid, tangible state of existence than the present bodily one I seem to experience now. Having no knowledge about this, I started searching in books for something that would prove to me that this has happened to others too. I soon realised that I was immensely fortunate to have unwantingly, unknowingly fallen out of prison of my body. At this point, I sometimes wish that I could undo what had transpired. The strange ecstasy has never returned and I pine for the state, knowing full well that it cannot be somehow "brought about" by some effort of some kind. My quandary now is that I do not believe any of the beautiful stuff that you put out. I don't believe all this to be true. I know it to be true. I find all the videos extremely pleasant but they only increase my pining . I can't go back to my former ignorant state because I have already jumped over the wall. I know that dying to one's self is the ultimate wish of every seeker, but I for one have found it a honey sweet cocktail laced with acid. I know the Zen saying " Before enlightenment, eat rice, wash bowl, after enlightenment, eat rice, wash bowl, but it is really hard for this organic human form. Please help me with a few words if you can 🙏
All I can say in response to this Murali, is to look closely at this desiring mind that wants something to be other than it is right NOW. This is the root issue to be weeded out - the entrenched belief and perception (despite your inherent wisdom knowing otherwise) that there is somebody here to get something, or to get back to something, or some other State. You have had a profound taste of freedom and as you understand it is not something that 'you' or your ego can repeat at will or through desire for it. In fact it is the desire that is taking you further away from it. It is this grasping, wanting mind that needs to be examined and let go of in your current experience (based on what you have written above). Even the desire for enlightenment, however noble, has to be let go of as it is still based on a delusion that there is a somebody here to attain something. Some words of inspiration and wisdom from the Buddha for you that might be of help in your reflections:
"Seclusion is happiness for one who is content; who has heard the Dhamma and clearly sees.
Freedom from ill-will is happiness in the world, for one harmless towards living beings.
Dispassion is happiness in regard to the world, for one transcending all sense desires.
But the dispelling of the conceit ‘I am’ ~ this is truly the highest happiness."
@@SamaneriJayasara Dear Samaneri,
Thank you so very much for your kind words. Having had this "non experience",
I try to verbalise it and realise I lack the skill. As such, I am full of wonder at how you explain the inexplicable. Your work is manna to people like me. 🙏
@@surameenputtu You are welcome. Trust, patience and surrender are the keystones here, especially in your case. It will all come alright in the end, as Ramana says. 💜
I feel this teaching might be very helpful for you at the moment Murali. It is not currently up on UA-cam. Here is the direct link where you can listen and download on my GD:

@@SamaneriJayasara This piece addresses my situation very accurately.
I get very intense flashes of direct seeing every once in a while when listening to your works. The background music is not really music but something that somehow quietens one
part of the monkey mind, so that the spoken words can do their work. In this piece, especially brilliant is that oddly muffled radio static, hardly decipherable voice.
It works like a trigger mechanism. Thank you so very much. Please do also let me know when I will get an opportunity to chat with you when you go live🙏
Deep gratitude for acquainting me with this true and great mystic. _/\_
Love you
Wonderful ammata dhamma🌻
