Guest guest Posted April 30, 2001 Report Share Posted April 30, 2001 Be at peace Tim. Don't worry about the beliefs of others. Do what is suitable for you. No one stops you from doing so. Ramana Maharshi often gave the example of Buddha. The last words of Buddha are said to be, "Work out your salvation with diligence." Be a lamp on to yourself. Love Harsha Tim Gerchmez [coresite] Sunday, April 29, 2001 11:15 PM NondualitySalon [NDS] Harsha & All - Re: Ramana Maharshi Dear Harsha and NDS list, There seems to be some 'self deception' going on in the name of 'Bhakti' on the list. There are those ready to "defend" Sri Ramana Maharshi at every turn if "something bad" had been perceived said, even though he left the body years ago. Who the hell is being defended? A concept, an idea, a dead past. The idea that "Ramana Maharshi's teachings are correct for everyone" and are "a world teaching." There is something egoistic and improper about this. Sri Ramana Maharshi himself would certainly think so. He never stated himself a world teacher. *** I have permanently d to the mailing list. There is a religious aspect to this list.... it is no longer a Satsangha, it is a religion now. Soon there will be "Priests of Ramanaism." The rot has started. Sad that nobody practices Self-Inquiry, but instead sucks on the pointing finger, and looks not at the moon. Never look at the moon, or Ramana will be lost, nyet? Sad, but true... Ramana's teachings are likely now headed down the same path as those of the Bible 2000 years ago. And the priests and pundits will take it all away. Namaste, Omkara / Tim Your use of is subject to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
