Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Is there a question one could ask etc... to determine if a being was realized. if there were a question you could ask an enlightened being that would determine whether or not he or she was in fact realized, this would be a question only someone seeking a master (given that there are many con-artists about) would ask...... in order to assess his or her suitability as a teacher/guru.... any answer you got would (in order for you to accept the answer) have to match a pre-conception or picture you would have of how such a person should act or answer or speak etc... in short he would match your egos idea of the master which would of course be totally wrong if there were a question you could ask an enlightened being that would determine whether or not he or she was in fact realized, then you yourself would also have to be realized in order to be able to properly assess his or her answer... on the other hand if you were enlightened you would not ask, because you would know it does not matter. The state of, and the description of the masters consciousness is beyond compare, if a seeker had a picture or idea against which to match or compare the master , then that seeker would himself be enlightened and his seeking would be over because the picture of enlightenment is not a reflection such as an ego idea. IN the case of the master the reflection is no more - the picture is and matches that master. SO that any comparison is impossible. However If a seeker had an image in his or her mind of exactly what an enlightened being was, he would see only The Self you see - if this was the case the seeking would be over because The seeker would Know There is But ONE conscious Being.... he (the seeker) would not exist in that case. so the question would answer itself or the answer would be unacceptable to the seeker due to the pre-conception held onto by the ego to which that ego would compare the answer.... in short, if the answer did not allow the ego to exist, then the ego asking the question would refuse to accept it due to clinging to the image he has of how things should be etc.... after all if the ego was no more then who or what would compare what to what? Hari Om someone asked is there a question one could ask etc... to determine if a being was realized that is the answer to it when we ask a question we have a preconception of the answer. If we are prepared to let go of our erroneous position we may grow if not then we will be bound An error is something we hold onto... if we are clinging we are in error because to cling is to exist as a clinger ( A clingon!) ahahahhahaha Yet many many teachers teach renunciation without understanding it Renunciation is about acceptance in such a way as to let go of all mental positions or possessions. i.e. If we do not cling we do not exist, if we do cling - we exist if i desire ....... i project one who will get what i desire.... if i own …. i will be one who owns..... if i wish to exist as anything or being then i project an i... if i seek enlightenment then i project an i who hopes to get it. if i reside as a watcher of the process - i am a conceived of i without form but an i none-the-less if i subside and accept and allow and agree with everything as an accepter of it then i am the receiver of it and still exist. if i am what i receive and am what i project and am what i desire all my problems dissolve in I - myself because the whole Cosmos subsides into me along with all gods all realms all lokas, all astral planes all beings - everything I manifested by fragmenting myself so that "I" the jiva could exist - comes back into me. Every being that comes near me, falls into me, because I do not project an ego. On the other hand if I project an Ego this if of course pushes them away from me - it must so that it can exist .... push itself outward - so then to renounce by rejecting the objective universe is a very, very grave error which can only be the most incredibly hard thing there is, because you are rejecting or pushing out what you manifested so the you could be Jiva.. so you are trying to exist by not existing- how stupid! all you have to do is accept your whole manifestation and allow it to dissolve in you by not projecting an ego/jiva as self. What occurs is this Normally we look at the body and say "I" - or we say MY FEET bypassing the body in both cases it is Self Saying I and MY but the jiva thinks HE is the one saying MY _ I etc.... How can that be if there is only one CONSCIOUS BEING? All "I's" referred to in everyone are referred to by THE SELF - as Myself The Myself never appears, he is always the referrer. He says IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII countless times, the same voice echoes in all beings it bounces around the mind and creates a reflected self called jiva. who seems to think he has feet. All feet are mine I The ONE CONSCIOUS BEING there are not many, there is only I All are fragments of my character, they exist because I chose to fragment myself and become many jiva and say I in them. When I realize myself again, the whole phantasmagorical display resolves itself back into me and the cosmos is no more - I become empty of form - because i have realized myself OOMMM! So then, let everything subside into your VERY SELF - which is Myself Do not reject - Do not push - Do not project - Do not become. Acceptance in this way is true renunciation and is very easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
