Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Dear Friends, Ramana said that the SELF is known to all. And truth is also known to all. It is happening around all of us constantly. How can IT be unknown. The good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the whatchamacalit?, is known to all. There's no problem until you invent a problem. Limitations are problems. When there's no limitation, then there's no problem. 'Cause, how can the unlimited have a problem? Problems begin to happen only when ya decide to call the whatchamacalit? something. When people try to define the whatchamacalit? they then limit their own experience of it, and then they got problems. Tying to define life and trying to define behavior, and trying to determine what is acceptable and what is unacceptable is an exercise that builds "limitation". Accepting LIFE as it is, seeing LIFE as it is in all its aspects and not shrinking from it, that is liberation. Love, michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in complete agreement with you Michael. In the world it is all polarities it canot be otherwise. The sage accepts this completely. You can only go to "heaven" if!! is allways followed by a concept. Truth is not a concept but the moment it is spoken of it becomes one. Ramana and others became enlightened though the grace of God not though what they did or dident do. The Budda maintained "You are not the doer" and surely we can all agree that he was an enlightened being. It may be argued that if you believe that, you will do nothing. It just is not so. Your conditioning, DNA, genes, destiny, life itself will spur you into the appropriate action for you. You must be as a little child according to Jesus. A child has no concepts and moves asccording to the dictates of life itself. It lives life to the full. I accept that some children are born into horendous conditions and life is no fun for them, That is unfortunately their destiny. Consciousness knowing itself through that situation too. I am a vegetarian but accept that I am part of the food chain too. Its the way it is. It can not be otherwise at this exact moment in time. It may change. The lion may well lie down with the lamb. There is Gods buisness your buisness my buisness. If it is my destiny to attend only to my buisness thats ok. If my buisness includes taking a stance on some humaritarian principal or warlike cause for that matter thats ok. If its my destiny to promote discussion on this list or to leave it to others to do this then thats fine too. I dont "mind" Respect and reguards for all Chris H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
