Just let Love encompass you!

(an e-mail conversation between Kees Schreuders and Hans Laurentius)

.... Ramana said once that the sadhana does not bring enlightenment about,

but brings an end to ignorance; and then the Self does the rest. I find

that beautiful, and that is the way it is. You can be ready to come to

insight, to be touched, but 'you receive' the being touched and the

insight. Then the process of working through comes into action by itself.

Because Realization is not a process, but the thorough falling apart of the

ego-inclinations.

To make it clearer: I call the ego the malformation of your original

character that is your basic 'programming'. This becomes malformed through

all kind of happenings and ideas so that the original character that in

reality is originally the vehicle of, or is directed by Love-Truth, becomes

veiled. Realization brings a process into motion by means of which the

body-mind again becomes the vehicle of the true. I call that in this place

'becoming more and more empty of Hans'. As long as he lives there will

always remain a touch of Hans-ness, as a personal flavor of the expression

of THAT, but the malformation falls away. The depth of the Realization and

other factors determine that this process goes faster or slower, thoroughly

or less thoroughly. The more the working through has taken place, the more

the embodiment of Truth (or Love) there is. Ramana is thus Love, pure Love,

plus a taste because of which we call him Ramana. ...
