Guest guest Posted October 15, 2000 Report Share Posted October 15, 2000 Dear Harsha, I was touched by your post in more than one way. I know what it is like to be amongst those that protest for their rights, armed with nothing, facing fanatical soldiers and police shouting abuse and threatening to kill. Up till today the sound of guns being readied to shoot and the smell of blood in the hot summer sun remains with me. I am a South African white that chose to stand on the side of my oppressed brothers and sisters and felt the hate much more because the others were use to it. It meant that I had to leave my country and I went into prefered exile. For forty years I had to be weary of letter and parcel bombs, always look over my shoulder and never stand near the curb while waiting to cross the road. It left me devastated with serious Post Traumatic Disorder and I never saw my family again. This is what human beings can do to each other, then, now and in the future. So let us all not loose hope and pray together that the time will come that peace will prevail on earth and humanity will be truly humane and magnificent.

No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
