[K-list] Delusion or 'taken out of play'

[Guest guest]

I absolutely agree it really helps to "ease it!" and desacralize it ) .

But of course, Ramana Maharshi was special, for the very reasons you

state--that he didn't seem to see himself as special or holy or apart

from anyone else. But he certainly could beautifully cut through to

basic "understanding." His was a rare ability to teach the fact that

we are all, already "there."

In some recent posts some people write as though being a Ramana is so

special, so holy, so rare. All this talk about yoga, spirituality,

advaita, meditation, ancient scriptures move this 'being oneself' so

much into a holy or sacred environment. We need to de-sacralize it,

de-mythologize, de-yoganize, un-harden it, ease it. Retrieval of our

original being can happen easily at home in our day to day

relationships and seeming encumbrances, when we are retrieving

spontaneity, naiveté, innocence.
