Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 I am about to ask that question to. If we householder are unripe mangoes, then those who are unmarried or the unmarrried renunciates, what are they? Please do not get worked out with the word unripe .This is justto remind us the need to obtain the neccesary experience in that stage of life .Once you have obtain that which is neccesarily for your spiritual journey you would got next stage of life vanaprastha and so forth. Once youare ripe do not mean you could drop from the tree and become perfect sannyas.You still need to learn to become perfect sannysa . The distinguishing factor is those on the tree need the tree to survive whilst those out of the tree need to sustain the tree's growth. Householder sustains sannyas and the renunciate sustains the communtiy that sustain them .Thus the mango that is matured enough to drop from the tree should not be just hoping to be in eater's mouth but now it must think how to sustain the tree that gave him the experience that it learnt. That means ripe mango must ensure the eater feels happy enough to ensure protection for the tree that gave birth to him. This is the job for sanniyasi I would distinguish between unmarried and unmarried renunciate The unmarried are still in their learning stage- remember when the small bud of mango coming from the branch . They are still in learning stage . Here I would not use the word unripe but would say they are at learning stage - young ,cute and eager to experience life - brahmachari. The unmarried renunciate are young ones too but they are the one that got grabbed from the tree( they are the good for pickle type) The eater grab them because the eater feels they are ready to be of service at that very moment. This are the sannyasi who do not go through the ripe and perfection process but they are ready. I know some would ask how could that be possible without going through the entire process . The truth is this pickled mangos in their previous birth have already obtain all the experience neccesary as householder and vanaprastha.That is why in this life the got picked up first. Now you know why the are sweety,sour bitter and salty at the same time . That is their experiences in their last lifeLOL Jai Maa !!! "N.

(gushing) So, anyway, I haven't really caught up and I can't find the instructions, but I've got the mango, and I've got the picture from the homepage, I am unmarried and I've never had children. I do own a house. I don't have any maggots, maybe that comes later anyway, but I do have a compost pile that I consider to be a center of sacred Earth magic. So, what do I do next?" hahahaaaaaaahaaaa Prainbow. You sound soooooooo happy and full of life. welcome back I am about to ask that question to.
