Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I always felt that gentle focus on the feeling of I Am-ness was the sole effort to be made. This focus is symbolised as the burning Heart of Christ. It is Christ or the Friend. I don't know what bhakti is or jnana or sattva for that matter. I only care for the Bliss of the burning Heart. I don't know what realisation is. I Am-ness is the purifying and sacred flame of Love. The world is my ashram, the stars are the candles and the moon is the perfume of the Friend. So let us be kind, let us play and enjoy life. ---Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).Version: 6.0.590 / Virus Database: 373 - Release 2/17/2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste, Yes that was my primary school 'Sacred Heart of Jesus', and I was an altar boy at the Sacred Heart Church, but I didn't really understand it until I got into Vedanta........ONS..Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
