Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Dear Harsha i asked David Goodman for help on your request and got this answer i try to find other sources too i agree completely with David Goodmans opinion and am rather very "vulnerable" if people declare they got "it" or understood "it" For me it emphasises a fact (unfashionable to many people nowadays) that true enlightenment is a rare event i am always very very critical to myself - just in the last time started to be "softer" and more "loving" with "myself" due to what i learned from you and others.... thank you for your help and patience in Ramana michael >David Godman <david_godman (AT) (DOT) co.uk> >michael_bindel (AT) hotmail (DOT) com >David Godman >Tue, 21 Dec 2004 05:15:32 +0000 (GMT) > > > > >Dear Michael, > > I don’t recollect Bhagavan saying anything like this, but my memory on these matters is not so perfect. You may be remembering a quote from the Gita in which Krishna says that one in a thousand are genuine seekers, and of those thousand genuine seekers, only one knows him as he really is. That makes it one in a million. I remember telling this to Saradamma about twenty years ago and she replied that the incidence of jnanis in the general population was much less than one in a million. Either way it’s a rather depressing statistic for seekers. For me it emphasises a fact (unfashionable to many people nowadays) that true enlightenment is a rare event. > > > > Best Wishes David Godman > > > > >Does your mail provider give you a FREE online calendar? does. >Get Mail Don't just search.
