DEAR FRIEND...,

 

Totally agree with you on remembering the SYMBOL for what it

represents & not the SYMBOL itself , but from my little experience i

repeat happens gradually ... i mean the REALISATION .. i wouls again

like to mention SHREE DEVYA ATHARVA SHIRSHAM here where by

BHAGATEE tells us what she is actually. at same time iwould again

paradoxicaly mention that , imho, no symbol or representations can

actually DEFINE THE SUPREME ONE.

 

as to your experience al i can say is definitely you are a stronger

soul to have such strength , even i had once a fatal accident & could

see my death before my eyes but maan very mystically not oly i was

alive but rarely any harm depening on the fatality .. well, also ,

i know its easier said then done for me , but still , death , imo, is

agin paradoxical .. it is ending & it is begining too .. if we forget

the unknown & rebirths etc.. well still ones death is livelihood to

many people okingin cremation grunds , sellingoods of cremation ,

brahmins who do last rites blah lah.. & i have seen condition of many

families of those working in cremation grounds & can say that for

many somebody's death is not just livelihood but a new life to them &

their families... well , here would like to share a verry funny

incident , last year i came in contact with a brahmin who owns a

cremation ground in a small town near delhi & well , he was upset as

he said HIS BUSINESS IS DOWN as not many people ie daily lol &

wanted smebody to do some ritual etc to help him increase his

business... hehehe imagine asking smebody to ffr prayers so that LORD

SHANKAR in his MAHAKAAL FORM would present death at least ,if nt

daily , once a week in a town :P:P

 

regards...,

supreme consciousness. While worshipping the form we should be aware

that we are worshipping the symbol for what it represents and not the

symbol itself. It is like trying to understand the whole from the

part.

what it is like dying. For years I had not prayed. I always thought

prayers were weak man's weapons. I prayed just once in the deep pain.

My prayers were immediately answered and I miraculously came back

to life. So you see I cannot think of more lives(although it is not

in my hand). More lives mean more deaths - the experience has left a

deep impact on me.
