Dear Sri Mangoyogi,

 

It certainly wasn't Dan. His communication, his ease and clarity is

fairly unbeatable, imo and experience with him.

 

It was such as Dan wrote, and I quoted in the post at point which

helped me to see more clearly the chaos, the imagined chaos which I

was so desperately trying to make order out of.

 

I became more quiet by default of the fears born of the past

imaginations and identification to pain and suffering, and

in non-avoidance of'just what it is,' it allowed, by determination

and ernestness, by honesty and sincerity with myself

and others, by really listening to what teachers like Dan, and sages

like Sri Ramana and Sri Nisargadattata were saying and conveying

so clearly, by deep introspection and silent inquiry, to

not being so readily duped by what arose, as things will arise

as long as we are embodied. It is recognized, seen for what it is,

and dismissed ... not this, not this, neti, neti.

 

 

"There is no chaos in the world, except the

chaos which your mind creates. It is self-

created in the sense that at its very centre

is the false idea of oneself as a thing different

and separate from other things. In reality you

are not a thing, nor separate. You are the

infinite potentiality, the inexhaustible

possibility. Because you are, all can be. The

universe is but a partial manifestation of

your limitless capacity to become."

 

~ Nisargadatta Maharaj, from "I Am That"

 

 

 

Love & Peace,

dear anna, as one of my teachers said (refering to the bhagawad

gita, but it applies to any true text): "the gita is like a matchbox

with seven hundred matches (slokas/verses). no need to burn the

whole matchbox; enough to take one match, light it by striking on the

stone of experience, and with care and dilligence build a fire that

will burn the whole world of illusion to ashes".
