Fw: Don't Know, Don't Care/For Tony

[Guest guest]

I do believe you completely misunderstood my post and my reference to

"don't know, don't care" and went off on one of your Tony tangents.

You are very good at them, you know :-) See more below...

Nowhere to go,

Even if one is on the path of Bhakti, the end result will be Jnana and

Moksha and the points I have made will no doubt become evident. IMO

one shouldn't stunt one's spiritual growth by refusing to investigate

complicated teachings of Maharaj and Ramana and others. In Sadhan and

the Search one will be presented by the unwanted teachings by

prarabdha whether one wants them or not. There is no point in hanging

on to illusion and spiritual materialism of comfortable and or

emotional beliefs. One should become stabilised in one level and then

move on...........IMO....ONS.S.

This was a post of Harsha's about a year ago...The meditation on

"Don't Know, Don't Care" is not right for everyone. It is a unique

type of meditation. It can be approached usually by people who have

loved deeply and have experienced a form of being relaxed and

contented while remaining softly aware. I can give more details at

some point about the method. Sages and scriptures have hinted at

it.Meditations like these make some people feel uneasy. "Don't Know,

Don't Care" points to a void. It invites one to enter a room that has

no floors. But it is not right for everyone. Some people are not ready

for it. The clinging to notions is too strong. That is OK. We are in

that space already. No floors, no ceilings, no walls. There are no

words and concepts that can ultimately help to maintain identity. All

questions and answers are simply the desperation of the mind. A

desperate mind is not a bad thing. It is simply struggling to make

sense, to maintain identity. "Don't Know, Don't Care" approach to

meditation can be scary. Some religious people are not comfortable

with it. However, if God or the Universe is ensuring that everything

is the way it should be, then we can relax a little. Knowing that

nothing is our personal burden one tastes the essence of love. This

is the same as "Not my will Lord but Thine". In the state of "not

knowing and not caring" one spontaneously embraces the whole universe

and holds all sentient being in the Heart.My article "Ordinary Mind is

the Buddha Mind" together with "You Take My Breath Away" in the last

volume of magazine may shed some light on

this.Love to allHarsha
