Guest guest Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 discontentment comes first then a rush to act and "right the wrong" this tiny satori is used for "vichara" (investigate the source of impulses/thoughts) as ramana said: a sustainted effort sustained means supported what supports the effort? me? the self? and how is it to be supported? in time? towards the sky? as archimedes when discovering the lever principle "give me a support and i'll lift the world" ramana did not mean sustained in time he meant "sustained in resource" rather, make this moment the unique one the eternal one like falling backward in a bottomless pit without trying to hold anything to oneself; sustained means you gather all the guys at reveille "guys, i need you all here, no more hesitation, no more entertainment, no more whining, no more defiance or excuses, no more crusades after windmills you all belong to this moment, to me" then if ten moments of discontentment are used during the day to mobilize for vichara they are all the one moment they don't have to be made more numerous or longer all become the one: oh, look here this is eternity now oh look my joy oh look my presence to colors oh look my concentration on this fluttering of the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
