[NDS] Sri Nisargadatta's smoking

[Guest guest]

dear jan:

....nisargaddatta was a great student who loved his teacher with true

devotion...perhaps you have already run further up the mountain than

he was able...do not concern yourself with the mote in another's eye

before removing the beam in your own...ask youself instead...do i

love the Beloved even unto the death of desire itself?....as a

buttefly is attracted into the flame...allow your love for the

Beloved to burn you into ashes...go forward and embrace the death of

self and so return to Self...love arose to a great height and reached

a great depth nisargaddatta...how much greater will love arise in you

now that he has gone before us and prepared the way for us...we are

called to an even higher love than his...he is a spiritual ancestor

upon whose shoulders we stand so that we can reach just a little

higher...^^~~~~

further up and further in,

white wolfe
