Guest guest Posted May 12, 2001 Report Share Posted May 12, 2001 the way is always the way of return to the endless beginning even though it is infinite in the way that it is always the way....further up and further in......^^~~~~ - vicki Harsha Saturday, May 12, 2001 10:09 AM which is the best way for me? Dilip Kumar Roy read out another poem composed by him on Bhagavan. Then he sang a few songs. Then he asked Bhagavan, "What is the best way of killing the ego ?" Bhagavan: To each person that way is the best which appears easiest or appeals most. All the ways are equally good, as they lead to the same goal , which is the merging of the ego in the Self. What the bhakta calls surrender, the man who does vichara calls jnana. Both are trying only to take the ego back to the source from which it sprang and make it merge there. Roy : But which is the best way for me? Bhagavan must know. Bhagavan did not reply. ( This is only usual with Bhagavan. He leaves it to each devotee to find out what sadhana appears most easy to him) ******************************************** DAY BY DAY WITH BHAGAVAN , >From a Diary of A.Devaraja Mudaliar ******************************************** /join All paths go somewhere. 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.

Thanks. > > more precisely : > > vichara : > enquiry > atma-vichara : > self-enquiry > atma > : self > bhakta > : devotee Thank you! I didn't realize atma = "self." So when the Gita speaks of Atman and Brahman, can that Atman be translated "Self"? Love, Dharma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
