Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 We know the world through the mind. Sri Ramana used to say that mind is a wonderful power that arises from the Self and makes all this visible. The conscious mind is one manifestation of Kundalini Shakti. Ultimately, Mind, Kundalini, Shakti, Maya, all these mean the same thing. Jnana makes us aware that the rising of (Mind, Maya, Shakti)has a Source which is complete in It Self, the pure Sat-Chit-Ananda. It is because of the presence of Sat-Chit-Ananda at the core of our being, the whole world is starving for love, love or Ananda being the root nature. In one way or another, we seek this ananda, either through material means or spiritual means which are also in a way not different than material means. I remember being at retreat in 1980-81 and talking to this woman in her 60s. She was divorced and actively looking for a man. I advised her to forget about finding love and all that nonsense and focus on meditation and Self-Realization and be free. I remember the pained look on her face and she said, "I really need to have a man in my life." I was such a fool then.

Having a partner was important to her, perhaps she wanted sex as well. It is a bodily function like eating and defecating or breathing, it is the attachment that is the variable. Ultimately there is no Energy/Consciousness called Sat Chit Ananda but only Nirguna Brahman, so it is all a dream why be attached, except for prarabda karma..........ONS..Tony.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Dear Michael: Thank you for your thoughts. I was thinking similar thoughts and how people can get so caught up in the workings of the mind as to get lost in the labrynth of word games, LOL. I remember last year when I first joined this list, Harshaji posted a message about this. At the time, I did not really "understand" what he was talking about when he wrote this: The conscious mind is one manifestation of Kundalini >Shakti. Ultimately, Mind, Kundalini, Shakti, Maya, all >these mean the same thing. I can still remember thinking, "all the same thing?" What IS he talking about? All in my mind, is it? And here I thought Kundalini Shakti was a person :-) NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! Now I think I sort of understand it conceptually, but I still feel the same way I did then, LOL!!! Still a fool, only one of a different sort. Love, Joyce but a lovely "fool" LOL understanding what you wrote is impossible via brain only possible via HEART necessary precondition you have be ready to let go everything...... yours sincerely michael >Harsha > >To: > To find comfort >Fri, 2 Jan 2004 09:05:33 -0800 (PST) > >We know the world through the mind.
