Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Srim lalithayai namaha The human mind is all about cognisation of perceptions through five organs of sense. We actually see what the mind wants us to see. The human mind manas tattva always makes a comparison to a prevalent sensation of perception , consider the case , when you see something really beautiful for the first time ,your mind is filled with awe and wonder, but the same thing seen again and again would not evoke the same response and feeling. Just the case , when we are (so called) awake with the sense organs,we deem things to be real, but we forget one thing , what we feel and sense is all again a perception on the mind. That's why you see that, bhakigana at matta mariamma's jattar procession, walks on burning bed of hot coals, as if it's a red sari /carpet .Not that the bhakta has no mind, the bhaktagana's mind perceives the coal bed as red saree that the divine mother has laid in front of him. For a yogi,a man who has conquered the mind manas tattva , he finds no discrimination and never lets his cognitive senses take better of his mind. He knows the truth , that being the greatest delight in these realm is enjoy and experience the world and nature without any inhibitions.To be in it but always above it.To experience it and relive it without being ever involved in it. To the one, who reaches that , rituals don't matter,nor tradition nor does religion ,because what he does becomes religion. To reach that state, we have to let go the limited mind and cut asunder all the fear and doubt, and be a keen observer of the divine play . Be true to ourselves, our sensations ,our feelings , it's like thinking with the body then with the mind , we will breed the innocence of child in us.Endearing us to the divine , with no presumptions, no assumptions,no expectations, no bias just simple plain eternal love . Neither mantra siddhi, neither tantra siddhis are requisite to enjoy and behold this state.Where sambhavi/sadashiva( a cognitive reference to something beyond !! there a knock on head to correct me) divine is in the niraguna(formlessness) state,that's what me and u( again a distinction !!!there a knock on the head to correct me) "us" are supposed to reach. In my(but who am I) humble experiences, all that matters is being one with self , at each stage , u learn to let go and learn more , at each step u realise the joy within, at each step u stop uttering a mantra and just feel the wonderful sensation,at each step u let go all the mahavidyas and u stand at the edge of cosmos unhindered ,unsupported and nothingness abides through u. U become that. Remember this one thing, If Life is a play of perceptions and illusions ,why don't we make it beautiful ,aptly stated life is a beautiful dream ,dare to live it.
