A journey from fear to silence

Ravana is not someone outside you. Ravana lives within. His age-old image carries ten heads. Here, the nine loud heads reflect the different movements created from fear, while the tenth head points towards silence. The nine reveal the mind caught in fear; the tenth reveals what remains when fear comes to an end.

Ravana: The Inner Projection of Fear

Ravana comes from the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana. Beyond the outward story, his ten-headed image offers a powerful inward reference through which we can look at ourselves. Rama represents clarity and freedom beyond fear, while Ravana points towards the different movements created within the human mind.

These outward expressions appear different, but look beneath them and fear becomes visible at their core. Ravana therefore becomes more than someone in an ancient story, he becomes a mirror through which you can watch how fear takes different forms within your own life.

About Nirmal

I do not present myself as a master, Guru or spiritual authority. I am a human being sharing what became clear through my own life, inward journey and realization.

My words are only an invitation for you to look within your own life and discover for yourself.

I am Ravana

To say I am Ravana is not to condemn or judge yourself. It is the honesty to recognise that Ravana’s different faces are movements within your own mind. What happens outside you is real, but what your mind creates and continues from it must be seen within you.

The courage lies in no longer placing the entire cause of your inward misery upon another person, society, destiny or God. It begins when you ask why a thought or feeling has arisen, move towards its core and see how fear has created it.

Ravana is not overcome by fighting something outside you. Ravana begins to end when you honestly see the fear from which your own thoughts, feelings and actions are created.

A Simple Turning Inward

Turning inward does not mean withdrawing from life, rejecting what you feel or trying to stop your thoughts. It means becoming aware of what is happening within you while your life is happening.

Watch a thought or feeling as it arises. Instead of immediately blaming, defending, judging or escaping from it, ask: Why has this arisen within me? Continue asking why until you move beyond the outward reason and see the fear at its core.

When your own watching becomes the proof of what your mind has created, understanding begins. Freedom begins with honestly seeing what is happening within you while it is happening.

An Invitation to Nirmal's Book

This book is a sharing from my own living experience, my inward journey, my realization and what I continue to see and understand through life. It is not a teaching to follow, a belief to accept or an argument to win.

The book invites you to look within your own life and ask why a thought, feeling or action arises; how fear at its core creates it; and how the mind continues conflict and misery through what it holds, protects and carries.

Do not believe my words merely because they are written here. Let them return your attention to your own life. Watch honestly, move towards the core and discover for yourself what your mind is creating.

Freedom is not waiting somewhere outside you or in a promised future. Your life is happening in the present moment.

From Mind to Witness
A Non-Monetary One-to-One Process

For friends who find it difficult to watch the mind clearly on their own, I offer a personal, non-monetary process. It takes place one-to-one, in person whenever possible or through direct phone conversation.

I do not give you beliefs or conclusions to accept, and I cannot create realization for you. Through conversation, questioning and simple practical tools, I help return your attention to what is happening within you. Your own honest watching must become the proof of what your mind is creating.

This is not medical, psychiatric or psychological treatment, and it does not replace professional care when such care is required.
