Newest book titled “EARTH”

 

A book that helps to understand what LIFE really is.

 

Available NOW on www.acadun.com

 

 

 

This BOOK ‘EARTH’ IS THE FOURTH VOLUME in the series ‘Understanding life’. The first three are ‘FIRE’, ‘AIR’ and ‘WATER’. The book contains pointers that he has shared to all men and women in the form of answers to questions that were communicated to him from all over the world.

 

Man is deluded into believing that he is the doer, and from this belief springs the guilt and misery of personal responsibility. The book offers help which once given results in peace that man so desires.

 

Each one of these answers was given as part of a specific question to ‘life’ issues. Every answer goes to the heart of life itself irrespective of our particular circumstance.

 

 

Some questions (>1000) in this book:

 

Q: Today was much better.
S: Everyday is bliss, provided the mind does not resort to its habit of interpreting and expecting things from life.

 

Q: Today I felt respected by my friends.
S: If you are respectful to yourself, then respect will come from others too. Do not criticize anyone. It only means you are criticizing yourself

!

Q: Is there anything called the other side of life?

S: There is no other side! All there is, is here and now. Be here and now. The rest is merely an illusion.

 

Q: I was sad today for my relationship is dead, and yet not maniacal about it, so I consider this as progress. I am so alone in this world, and I see the functioning in my mind is mere activity around my body to accomplish falsely. This is flooding the silence.
S: We are always alone. Even if the other is there, he always remains the other and cannot be fused into us to be one. So realize that we are always alone even if someone is present near us! The other will always be the other!

 

 

Review: Sigrid, Germany

Thank you so much for - again a wonderful and precious book - Five Elements EARTH!
Looking at the questions it´s amazing that the mind has only a few issues (health, relationships, job and spirituality), but an enormous variety of experiences and stories about it.With endless patience and deep clarity your answers explain the mind to be illusiory. There is no room for doubt nevertheless the mind might be shocked; all the suffering is only in the mind and not in life. Reading this book the snake becomes more and more a rope and....."Is it possible to see the snake at the same time you see a rope?" What a relief ! It takes no doing to be alive, so HAPPY NEW HERE.

“Reflected light is consciousness”

 

 

In the DVD;

Can we see light? Why not?

If you misunderstand life you will find a meaning, when you understand life you will not find a meaning.

Objects are not separate from you.

The thought of practice silence is not enough.

When your attention is outside and believe that it is separate from life, that is the bondage.

 

 

 

 

Letter to AAU:

X: What about the ancient concept of the rising of the kundalini?
AAU: There are many concepts, which one do you mean?


X: There is a man in New Zealand who composes music for this very purpose. We (my husband & i) have been "meditating" to it for a while. This is often lovely & relaxing & sometimes it brings up depression, anger, sadness, etc.
AAU: The same phenomenon can happen with any music the mind likes to listen.


X: My question is this: is this worth doing? are we really "doing" anything? Are we kidding ourselves?
AAU: A rare and profound question indeed. To do anything, man would need and require time. Time however is absent in life. Until now science is unable to determine what time exits within a moment. This is exactly what the sages have proclaimed -‘life is timeless’. Everything happens in life, the happening projects an auditory and optical illusion of light and sound in the mind as events, knowledge, speech and thoughts. This is once again exactly what the sages have proclaimed, that life is a play of light and sound, meaning an illusion or maya. The play gives rise to beliefs, concepts and knowledge including time. Life is a drama and the earth is the stage on which it is played out within the mind of man. The moment man ponders if he is kidding himself is the moment wisdom begins to arise.


X: I have pondered your generous answer, (helped along as well by a chapter in one of your books), & I find that the question has dissolved. I am unaccountably happy.
Very merry holidays to you & your family.
With gratitude,
AAU: You are right, happiness cannot be counted.
The ego dissolves and sophisticates as a witnesser. 
" Merry Christmas" to you and your family.

 

Letter to AAU:

Y: When an experience becomes actual it is not a thought nor a feeling. It is like love, it is from the beyond and from within, it is light.
AAU: Correct. When experience becomes actual it is love or life and love and life can never be known and so too an experience. If experience and love is light the world, man and mind is a reflection of light meaning illusory or Maya.


Y: An experience is not related to time as I perceive it, and it only relates to what is felt inside and beyond the senses. Experience is.
AAU: Correct experience is not related to time, feelings or senses. Experience is, meaning life or love is, which cannot be described or practiced which require time to do so.

Comment: CD ‘Beyond the known’

Elisabeth, Netherlands

Dr. Shankar over and over emphasizes how important it is to know yourself. We do not know ourselves, we only know our known. Only when you know yourself, you will begin to see the whole play.  Life can never be confronted with the known, life can never be known through the known. First and paramount thing is to know yourself as to who you are, where is your center, and what is your identity. Through the known we can only know matter. So, if a man is totally conscious of matter as reality in its dialecticism, in its appearance as duality, he confronts the duality and he does not separate them, he accepts them both as one, he has got it. The moment you become the center, then you know the entire picture. But we do not accept duality as one, it is separate. It challenged me to listen over and over again and to listen very carefully and understand. Thank You, Dr. Shankar.

 

 

Comment: CD ‘Unknowable’

Elisabeth, Netherlands

How do we witness the unknown? If we begin to see life directly, without any assistance of the known at all, our attention is focused on the now, life as it is flowing. The moment you become the flow, you become the unknowable, simultaneously the known and the knower will dissolve, it won’t be there. The moment the known and the knower dissolve, the unknown vanishes, because the unknown stands because of the known. The reverse takes place. You become the unknown. The trap of the known, one has to know what happens if you get caught in the known. The known generates one conceptual thought. What is it? The known primarily gives birth to that ‘I am the doer’. Dr. Shankar beautifully describes the relation of the known to a bhajan. You witness, you have heard the sound of life, you heard just the sounds. The mystery always remains unknowable. Deeply enjoyed the satsang.
