Guest guest Posted November 17, 1997 Report Share Posted November 17, 1997 Dear BhagavathALs, I thank Sri Sadagopan for his lucid commentary on the impersonal use of "kangaL" in Sri ThiruppAn's famous lines: "--arangan en amudanaik kaNDa kaNkaL maRRonRinaik kaaNaave." If it intrests, a similar statement is attributed to a famous Tibetan Buddhist mystic Mila Repa. He suffered great bodily pains at some time & was asked if he felt the pain, to which he replied: "there is pain but I don't feel it". I think in the state of heightened Atmic awareness such as that in which Sri ThiruppAn was immersed, worldly consciousness becomes dim, and altho a vague awareness of the external world might be retained, it is without a concretized ego-center witnessing the said world! Hari Om, srikanth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
