Guest guest Posted December 17, 1998 Report Share Posted December 17, 1998 Brahman is REAL and Brahman is also the QUESTION. All answer to any question is nothing but thoughts. Thoughts are transient and are UNREAL. An explanation to any thought is another thought and is also unreal! The goal of Vedic scriptures including the Upanishads and the Gita is to guide us to discard the thought process. Karma, Bhakti and Jnana yogas stipulated in Gita are the greatest tools to proceed our life without indulging the mind in action. These three sadhanas serve as anti-lock brakes to the accelerating mind. The energy for the accelerating mind comes from sensual perceptions and the sadhanas close the energy source. Thought coming from the accelerating mind is the greatest pitfall to experience the REAL. Real will remain as a question as long as the mind indulges in the thought process energized by the sensual perceptions! Whenever we try to explain REAL, we only elaborate how UNREAL we are! All our explanations are just thoughts arising from time to time. We do not want to admit our inability to establish the communication channel between the REAL and UNREAL! We do not want to believe that no communication channel between REAL and UNREAL is ever possible! When we experience the REAL, we need no more explanations and we have no more to explain! We become independent and free and we have no need to communicate through talking, dreaming and acting. We will have no more identity, no more questions and we can experience THAT IT IS! -- Ram Chandran Burke, VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
