Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Dear Friends: People speak of visions and white lights and spiritual and psychic experiences. These are beautiful things and indications of meditative practices at some time. Those who know the source that lights all experiences, spiritual and otherwise, remain unmoved by such descriptions. Advaita Vedanta declares without compromise. Atman Is Brahman! Thou are That! With what white light or spiritual experience shall we now be impressed? Once Sri Ramana was asked about traveling to different planes and having visions. The Sage of Arunachala asked the questioner something like, "What are you experiencing now and how is it different?" So we see that grocery shopping and satsangh are not two different things. Each serves is purpose in the moment. Satsang really means company of the truth or Self. So we are always in Satsang. All techniques fall at the feet of the Sage and become meaningless. May all beings be free from sorrow. Love to all Harsha ===== /join Mail is new and improved - Check it out!

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I love you Harsha... I was just going out to do the shopping for dinner. Sam Saw these baby swans during our traditional Sunday drive in the country. They look so alert and sweet, ready for life.

I went to the local super market to do my shopping but they were fresh out of swan. Didn't even have frozen swan steaks or anything. A bit of knee-jerk ahimsa on your part Tony. Harsha had just beautifully told us that grocery shopping is not different from Satsangh. I felt a rush of love for him and for life. To me the swans represent the joy of life. Not dinner. I do not salivate at the sight of them. I wanted to give some outing to my love and so chose to send the photo. This one is for you.

With regard to my heart, yes I feel it moving all the time, especially in times of pre meditaton or emotion.

Yes, I understand what you mean about detachment, nevertheless it feels like love on whatever plane, and I'm grateful for it. Don't forget the smiley, :-) ,with the next bit of dry humor.. easier to get it then hahahaha Love, Sam /join "Love itself is the actual form of God."Sri RamanaIn "Letters from Sri Ramanasramam" by Suri Nagamma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
