Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 I can't change anyone's beliefs here and I decided I dont even want to. I just want to let others who are unable to do the vegetarian diet know that you can be liberated from the "I" corrupted program and become enlightened even though you eat flesh. Nisaragadatta is proof of that fact. Do not give up the quest, like I almost did when I was a dietary failure. Aloha, Love, Alton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 Hi Alton. Don't worry about anything. It is well known that Ramana Maharshi never criticized anyone for their diet. Enlightenment is a matter of the Heart. The fire of devotion that burns with the light of awareness can manifest like an exploding volcano or be a gently flowing river. We make up rules and set up customs and create all these paths, but the dance of existence dances in its own rhythm. We are that dance. Love Harsha COMO KASHA [lostnfoundation] Monday, June 04, 2001 6:56 PM I see my error I can't change anyone's beliefs here and I decided I dont even want to. I just want to let others who are unable to do the vegetarian diet know that you can be liberated from the "I" corrupted program and become enlightened even though you eat flesh. Nisaragadatta is proof of that fact. Do not give up the quest, like I almost did when I was a dietary failure. Aloha, Love, Alton /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.

However Ramana did tell Brunton that vegetarianism was advisable, especially for the new ones on the path. Most of us I would say. Ramana didn't interfere with free will but one can take the suggestion of a realised one, Jivanmukti with some validity.....ONS....Tony.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Hi Alton, >I can't change anyone's beliefs here and I decided I dont even want >to. Good for you! You are going to be a valuable part of this group. >I just want to let others who are unable to do the vegetarian diet >know that you can be liberated from the "I" corrupted program and >become enlightened even though you eat flesh. Nisaragadatta is proof >of that fact. Absolutely right! Diet is relatively unimportant. As Glo said, what goes out of the mouth is much more important than what comes into it. Cayce told some people to give up meat. He told others to give up red meat. And he told others that their bodies needed meat. He did not think that one diet is right for everyone. >Do not give up the quest, like I almost did when I was >a dietary failure. I realize that it was a profoundly painful event for you, but please believe that it was an unimportant failure. Love you, Dharma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so convinced that no one on this list can possibly be "realised" that you don't even listen. You would be surprised if you could really see who is here.

Nobody shares this path as perceived by you, and no one ever will. No new ones to join you, no old ones to walk ahead of you. Just you. >Ramana didn't interfere with free will but one can take the >suggestion of a realised one Don't take anything for granted (not even your assumption that you are accepting a suggestion from a 'realised' one). Take advice but investigate what is offered, to validate its validity for yourself. Including my advice. Including Ramana's advice.
