Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 This is from Message 8701 : [omprem] You will have emotional attachment to Devi as long as you do not truly know that you are Devi. [Nora ] So When One have become a DEVI what happens? The self ceases to exist and it does not have any emotional attributes at all. Or you could say : Nora have cease to exist and she is the DEVI or She have merge with the DEVI. So ... how long do this process be: permanent or a temporary? Are we conscious of this process? [ Omprem ] Not just becoming a Devi but upon being the background from which Devi sprang, the self does cease to exist as a discrete entity. It does not have emotions, but it does have characteristics that we might interprete as Love or Ananada. So, Nora does cease to exist and becomes existence itself. The process could be either permanent or temporary. Temporary if you decide to be an avatar and return to the material world for the betterment of others. You are conscious of that part of the process which leads right up to the instant of being Devi. But when you are Devi, you are the process itself, you are consciousness itself. You are Satchidananda - Absolute Existence or Being, Absolute Consciousness or Pure Awareness, and the Absolute Bliss that lies beyond all the psychomental phenomena. Now lets consider this statement :"I have this tendency that Once I put on the uniform, XXX ( name of a person ) ceases to exist. A new identity is being born and XXX becomes a different person. I am conscious of this existence of new person, but as long as I am in this uniform, this new person rules my action and emotion" I am told this condition is called Taadaatmya. Is this the same as the process being remarked by Omprem earlier? This is an open question. Please feel free to answer if anyone have anything to say.
