Because at that moment of the posting, there was nothing else, that could

have been enabled , even if the whole Shakti of Brahamand wished otherwise.

 

In that moment.

 

 

 

Curious, did you assume from that "no one knows what is best for

you",.......... that what was meant was,..... Sandeep knows best for you?

There would be a need for support, if there was an objective to be achieved

through the prattling.

 

See, if you care to of course, the apriori assumption, in order for you see

the need for support.

Maybe.

 

However in what way intrepretation is any different to following?

 

Out of faith, you accept without question and follow and that is an

expression of the existing conditioning-in-the-moment.

 

Out of reasoning (whatever be the particular tool used for the reasoning),

you examine and intrepret, once again through the

conditioning-in-the-moment.

No one knows what is best for you.

Not the local psychologist, friend, lover, or advaita teacher on her sofa

throne.

If you want to awaken (whatever you think that means) follow your own heart, not

someone else's.

 

Once someone sat under a bodi tree and ceased to suffer. So for more than 2000

years people all over the world sit in meditation in the hope that they too will

cease to suffer. But why should what worked for Buddha work for you? Chances

are, it wont :-)

 

It does not matter how 'awake' your favourite guru appears to be.

In This you are really on your way alone.

Not lonely - but alone.

And no guru can stand beside you.

Follow your own heart into love.

If your mind is luxuriating in suffering, it will continue to do so until it

tires. So you may as well ignore it now :-)

 

Forget the imaginary lineage from Ramana to Poonja to a another to another. This

is foolishness.

Truth has no lineage.

It either siezes your heart forever or it does not.

The rest is just psychological nonsence - though of course very appealing and

soothing in its way.

 

Why try to quiet your mind with spiritual practice? The mind's function is noise

- let it natter away. Its coming and goings have nothing to do with you.

 

Really now, the only mind that is forever still is a dead one :-)

 

You can notice though. You can notice what is behind every action and behind

every appearance. And you can smile and live.

 

Whether you know yourself to be the consequence of everything, whether you jump

or not, JUST LIVE! You will anyway :-)

 

Why journey to Tibet?

I am in the next seat; my shoulder is right next to yours.

The breath inside the breath am I. The One who loves thee.

--Kabir

 

You are all Buddhas

There is nothing you need to achieve.

Just open your eyes.

--- Siddhartha Gautama

 

 

Any experience of awakening is a false experience.

Those who offer or describe such experiences are those who offer and describe

experience.

In following paths of right and wrong or ways of achieving something there is a

denial of the quiet already in your heart.

 

You will hear that you must kill the ego.

Sort of an internal suicide :-)

You will hear that you must meditate, understand scripture, be at one with the

universe, practice vigilance, and other profoundities that apeal to your mind.

Such a strong belief that cause creates effect!

Relax - none of this is necessary.

Grace will come or it will not.

All the rest is of no use at all.

 

So much talk about 'fully awake', the mind 'dissolving permanently into the

heart center', 'enlightenment' ... all of this refers only to thinking.

What a waste of time.

What Poonja said, what Laksmana Swamy said, what Annamalai Swami said, what

Muktanand said, what Gurumai said , what Buddha said, what Ramana said - all

just pointers.

 

 

 

"I have no teacher, One like me is not, in the world of men and gods, none is my

counterpart"

--the Buddha, from the Ariy-Pariyesana Sutra

Thus you express your thoughts, your heart. By not following it,

I follow it. You support your thoughts with the words of other

teachers.

 

Within our differences there is also similarity. We observe and

learn to apply change to ourselves, changing. I find it rather

arrogant to presume that students do not interpret teachings,

but only follow.

 

Tell me, what do you do? Do you meditate? Worship? Pray? Walk?

Ah, you are acting from pure divine expression. Would you say that

you have surpassed the bounds of illusion then? You are your Buddha

nature, awakened one?

 

> Curious, did you assume from that "no one knows what is best

> for you",.......... that what was meant was,..... Sandeep

> knows best for you? :-)

 

I think that it is the difficulties in English that you are

referring to. ;-)

 

When you say things like the following paragraph:

>>> No one knows what is best for you.

>>> Not the local psychologist, friend, lover, or advaita

>>> teacher on her sofa throne. If you want to awaken

>>> (whatever you think that means) follow your own

>>> heart, not someone else's.

 

expressed as "When you want to do X, then do Y, not Z." I

take away the message that you are claiming an absolute truth.

Maybe you intended to say:

 

I think that there is no best way.

Not the way of the local psychologist, friend, lover or

advaita teacher. I believe that if you want to awaken,

then you can do so by following your own heart.

 

To clarify the message you expressed in what you wrote, let

me exaggerate it:

 

I know the truth that no one knows what is best for you.

Not the local psychologist, friend, lover, or advaita

teacher. If you want to awaken you must follow your own

heart, not someone else's, as that is the only way you

will do so.

 

Can you see the differences?

 

>> Thus you express your thoughts, your heart. By not following it,

>> I follow it

> Can you clarify that, please?

> Not being native English born, da lingo fazes moi.

 

English isn't my native tongue either, but we'll work through

our difficulties, I'm sure. :-)

 

I am saying that you are caught up in a self-referential

statement:

 

If I am doing as someone else says, I will not 'awaken'.

If I follow my heart, I am doing as you say.

 

Can you rephrase your ideas without the fallacies?

 

>> You support your thoughts with the words of other

The assumption is that your words were intended to be a

truth stated about reality, illustrated with similar words

said by others who are generally acknowledged to have been

authorities on that topic.

 

If that is not your objective, then you are not engaging

in a conversation. Such behaviour is generally known as

trolling. :-)

So you are effectively saying:

 

If you want to awaken (whatever you think that means) you

can do so by following the heart of an awakened one.

 

Right?

 

 

>> Tell me, what do you do? Do you meditate? Worship? Pray? Walk?

I think I'll let you be, then.

Thank you for pointing to the intrinsic self negation.

In another prattling, I believe there was this pointing, which you believe

No.

 

Just offering for consideration, that awakening, as any other happening in

duality, is a conceptual event.

Your post does you little credit when you refer to Sandeep

facitiously as "awakened one".

 

Also, has it occurred to you that no amount of philosophy nor the

rigorous application of the logic that you so love to flaunt will get

you closer to the Truth? You use philosophy and logic as

weapons. Such ego displays are in fact barriers to Truth and

Cosmic Consciousness. Spiritual practices, including the Jnana

Yoga ones that you are abusing, may take you to the door of

Cosmic Consciousness but they will not take you across the

threshhold. Only the Grace of God and Guru will do that.

We are communicating through a medium of pure language. I am

asking questions, analysing claims about the Truth. Are you

saying that we should abandon the divine gift of reasoning?

In Shaktism, before one accepts a guru, can one question her

or him? Is everyone a guru?

....but for some reason left that sentence unfinished.

 

What I meant to ask is whether you think that letting people

know how they are representing themselves to you is useful.

Or is it that particular term that you have objections to? It

is not an insult in my experience, but it is a particularly

delicate claim, as is guru, and that is worthy to be explored,

just as you gave us your insights into the value of Osho's

teachings as evaluated against how he put his understanding

into practise.

You are not asking questions, analysing claims: you are using

the appearance of doing that in order to abuse Sandeep. If you

had the interest in Truth that you claim to have, you would have

made more of an effort to understand Sandeep's message, you

would not have used argumentum ad hominem against him,

and your post would have had less of an edge to it.

 

Now you show yourself to be lacking in honour and intestinal

fortitude by refusing to admit what you were up to when you are

exposed.

 

 

You asked, "I would like to ask you, how does one invite the

Grace of God or Guru into their lives?"

 

One does that through living a life of serenity, contentment, love,

detachment, discrimination and openness; through a rigrous

and disciplined meditation practice; and through a rigourous

application of the yamas and niyamas in thought, word and deed

every second of life.

 

The fact that you have violated the very first yama, ahimsa or

non-violence, through your abuse of Sandeep means that you

still have some way to go to receiving such Grace.

What I was up to?

I'm being exposed?

I didn't realise I had stumbled into a spy movie.

 

 

I am here to talk about different methods for spiritual

awareness, to learn about what other people are doing in

their life that brings them closer to their Truth. I'm

here to discuss that with people, to engage in dialog

and question, and be questioned.

To better understand the extent of this, was calling me

So Shaktism is a path of absolute non-violence?

 

Thanks for your responses,

Gentlemen:

We are on a spiritual quest. please accept questions and answers on face value.

We have enough trouble with one of the FORMER members going on a deleting spree

forcing us to fight this "inner demon" in that poor frustrated soul.

Lets have intellectual discussions without personalites PLEASE.

Oh by all means, question.

 

Along the way, if you are moved to, have a look at the stake you have, in

the questioning.

 

The energy that was available some time back, when the dialogue flowed, was

open, receptive, which does not mean it was blindly accepting.

It was exploratory.

 

The energy in the last few posts through Ralf is different.

 

So much so, that it gave the impression of a different person with the same

label.:-)

Good.

Then forget about buying and selling.

There is nothing on offer and there is no one to buy, either.

Grace is always showering.

Moment to moment to moment.

 

The issue is, are you available for the Grace to pour in?

Or the hidden stakes in your enquiry, makes you a filled cup and like rain

drops, grace pours and runs downs the sides of the filled cup.

 

You don't need to do a whit to receive Grace, except cease all opinions

about it.

 

 

<SNIP>

 

Just some two cents.....

Growth, ego, learning, teaching, a vehicle for the growth of

others, strengthening of the self, connection with the Self,

destruction of the self, connection with other people, pure

fun, the expression of insights, release of frustration ...

 

 

What stake do you have in posting?

It is the one energy. There is no Ralf, there is only UsAsOne.

A difference in me is a difference in you.

LOL That will get the conspiracy people thinking. Maybe I'm

even a part of the conspiracy against all Hindu peoples... ;-)

 

And what do you think your perception of this difference in

energy means to you? How do you think it changed?

I think the "that won't sell" phrase must have been another

language or cultural thing. What I intended to get across

was that the message of your post was not very clear and I

would have liked to see you explain it another way.

 

The rest of the reply in a separate post.

 

Blessings,

OM Ralf

 

This passive-aggressive attitude of yours has got to stop. It is

bringing you no credit and winning no one to your point of view.

 

For example:

Sandeep: Along the way, if you are moved to, have a look at the

stake you have, in the questioning.

 

Ralf: Growth, ego, learning, teaching, a vehicle for the growth of

others, strengthening of the self, connection with the Self,

destruction of the self, connection with other people, pure

fun, the expression of insights, release of frustration ...

 

Of course, it is clear to all that the stake that you have is just

bolstering a wounded ego. Sandeep asked a pointed question

in order to get you to admit the undesireability of your motives, at

least to yourself, and to thus change the thread to something that

approaches usefulness. You ignored that veiled invitation, took it

as an attack and listed a lot of platitudes as a defense.

 

And, speaking of platitudes:

 

Sandeep: The energy in the last few posts through Ralf is

different.

 

Ralf: It is the one energy. There is no Ralf, there is only

UsAsOne. A difference in me is a difference in you.

 

Again, a passive-aggressive attempt to assign blame elsewhere

and avoid taking responsibility for your own actions. Sandeep

was making an observation and again inviting you to enter into a

true discussion. You rejected that and choose to continue in the
