Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 This post is from SriRamana Group. I am somewhat confused by "remove the heart-knot" and "established in the Heart". I thought I understood both terms but placed together like this leaves me unclear. What is heart-knot? Ron The grand, natural and sweet Self-abidance [sahaja-Atma-Nishta] of the Sadguru, who is devoid of the ego sense, is the mighty Sword which can cut deep and remove the heart-knot [hridaya-granthi] of His loving disciples. Taking to Self-enquiry- as the result of a proper education and understanding - not straying away through the petty senses, and being firmly established in the Heart as the mere Self Effulgance, is truly following the Sadguru's Upadesa. Verses 326 and 327 Guru Vachaga kovai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Dear shining lights :-)))) I've been dis-connected from internet a lot lately .... However .... whenever the window to the world opened for even just a little, I've kept reading ALL of your posts (and 11 other lists :-))) ...... Thank you for ALL the sweet messages and notes you sent me (also off-list) ..... I shall reply ..... No time-frame, tho .... J I may find some quiet minutes while Claus has to stay in hospital for more tests .... Many mornings, when able to log on and smile, laugh and cry with your writings and sharings ..... I feel a little sad that I can't stay long enough to respond or contribute ..... THIS morning, however .... there is NO way to shut me up :-) I want to share *my heart* with you .... A few nights ago I woke up ... and HAD to get up .... around 2-3 am .... and paint ...... (That's how my paintings *happen* ... NO artist there ... just the heart, the opening .. extending to hands and tools). And THIS is what needed to be expressed, in molten wax, with my hot iron: Love, only love ..... and many smiles .....

And don't be sad when you cannot respond or contribute in a visible way, because we know you are here in Heart... and when all is said and done, that is all that matters to me :-) I think of you and your chicken coup and your beautiful little Buddhette and Claus and send you all warm wishes and healing love to a shining light. Love, Joyce ps http://www.omshaantih.com/Photogallery/Art/Helga/heart.htm for anyone who wants to see Helga's heart but does not get html posts.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Another answer, this one from Mirabai... http://www.omshaantih.com/Poetry/Mirabai/O%20My%20Mind/Worship.htm Mira is regarded as an incarnation of Radha. She was born in Samvat 1557 or 1499 A.D. in the village Kurkhi, near Merta, a small state in Marwar, Rajasthan. Mira was the daughter of Ratan Singh Ranthor and the grand-daughter of Dudaji of Merta. The Ranthors of Merta were great devotees of Vishnu. Mira Bai was brought up amidst Vaishnava influence, which moulded her life in the path of devotion towards Lord Krishna. She learnt to worship Sri Krishna from her childhood...http://www.dlshq.org/saints/mirabai.htm Love, Joyce - Ronson Whitaker Tuesday, April 20, 2004 10:56 AM Heart This post is from SriRamana Group.
