Guest guest Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 An enlightened person is one who can retain his head .. when all around him are losing theirs. CW An enlightened person is one who cannot retain his head .. (because he does not have one) when all around him (the others are desperately) retaining theirs, (because they think they have one). JB Very good CW and JB! Now your personal koans. For you CW-- How does the Enlightened Being speaks to those without heads? For you JB -- How does the Enlightened Being speak without a head? Your answer must be satisfactory to the other. Ha! Ha! Ha! :-). Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha! Ha! :-). > >Harsha > Very challenging question indeed.. :-) Right now I would say : that to answer :.. 'speaks thru silence/love', would be rather square.. I would say, he speaks, naturally, by using words. But my smart head, insists on suggesting, of course, also the following possibilities: - he does not speak - _'he'_ cannot speak, speaks thru being - speaking happens, there is no 'how' .. ... what's an Enlightened Being ?!

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.
