Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 When I was 19 years old I bought a book at a recordshop going out of business Self - Knowledge, Atma-Bodha of Sankara How it happened to be there I don't know Twelve years later I found it and put it next to the 10 other books I am 'reading' at any moment. Then I noticed this book glowing in the dark and I began reading it. What can I say about Atma-Bodha? Some look for the simple. Some look for the difficult Quite simply, not gradually this knowledge can only be recognised as what it is. In my country all we care about is priceshigher wages that’s when our joy risesWe never want to realiseWe never saw an image like yours riseYou are the pervader of the universeplease show me someone out of curse. In my searches high and low I found a thousand pagescontaining wisdom from the sages.They write about you like you're of the past.They write words like you did not last.You are the keeper of knowledge's essencesomeone must have seen your presence.All these years I did nor know your nameSince I saw you, life was not the sameDisturbed, bewildered, not to loose my mindThe best method I could find15 years with Atma-Bodha for discriminationafterwards I saw, on the cover was your presentation. Alan For one's knowledge, there is no need of another knowledge as the self is of the nature of knowledge in the matter of its own illumination a lamp is not in need of another lamp.

Your words are beautifu. From kindergarten I write, When Buddha found enlightenment it was under the Bodhi tree Forget that Just be Be books, be lore, be sea and shore In the beauty of your land where stones can teach and waters understand Just be Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
