Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 thank you for this posting t o o it is so clear and definite i wonder how someone can call himself a devotee of Sri Ramana and n o t trying to live accordingly..... because without giving the Best - how to realize reality? but to accept that all that is as "okay" in the sense of "divine plan" is a important lesson i had to accept it finally.... thank you for your help on "my" way.... dear Harsha isnt it so clear: if you love your SELF GD BRAHMA I AM WHO I AM and so on... you "have" to love your soul-mate the same and finally learn to love everything..... thank you for listening your comments are precious.... in Ramana michael wrote: The quote below was from J. Krishnamurti posted by Vicki on million paths. Many people love Krishnamurti and others have often found him to be very convoluted and even boring to read. But sometimes his authenticity of thought and clarity resonates. Harsha wrote: Do you know what it means to come into contact with death, to die without argument? Because death, when it comes, does not argue with you. To meet it, you have to die every day to everything: to your agony, to your loneliness, to the relationship you cling to; you have to die to your thought, to die to your habit, to die to your wife so that you can look at your wife anew; you have to die to your society so that you, as a human being, are new, fresh, young, and you can look at it. But you cannot meet death, if you don't die every day. It is only when you die, that there is love. A mind that is frightened has no love-it has habits, it has sympathy, it can force itself to be kind and superficially considerate. But fear breeds sorrow, and sorrow is time as thought. So to end sorrow is to come into contact with death while living, by dying to your name, to your house, to your property, to your cause, so that you are fresh, young, clear, and you can see things as they are without any distortion. That is what is going to take place when you die. But we have a limited death to the physical. We know very well logically, sanely, that the organism is going to come to an end. So we invent a life which we have lived of daily agony, daily insensitivity, the increase of problems, and its stupidity; that life we want to carry over, which we call the "soul"-which we say is the most sacred thing, a part of the divine; but it is still part of your thought and therefore it has nothing to do with divinity. It is your life! http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/ /join "Love itself is the actual form of God."Sri RamanaIn "Letters from Sri Ramanasramam" by Suri Nagamma Mail Mobile Take Mail with you!
