Messianic virus, was can I ever realize the Bliss of the Self ?

>the satsangh must be infected with a messianic virus....harsha, what is the

>remedy?....

***HAH! The more things change the more they stay the same. Lots of

fancy 'remedies' it seems. All too complicated for me. The remedy

of watching ever present clinging and grasping of 'I" and 'mine'

keeps me busy full time. But, when I sort that out, I'll surely give

the list the benefit of my advice and opinion. Actually, this simple

remedy keeps me with the 'Beloved" wherever I find myself even in the

forest of mind.

I came across something on Rumi the other day, his vision quite cheers me up.

"A doorway to eternity flickered open...and in one outrageous act of

faith, Rumi dove through. In an instant of mystical annihilation,

fire met fire, ocean met ocean, and Rumi fell into pure being. Later

he would say,

"What I once thought of as God I met today as a human being."

Three cheers for all outrageous acts of faith! May we all take the leap!
