Guest guest Posted October 19, 1999 Report Share Posted October 19, 1999 Harashaji: You have made some interesting observations and conclusions and with good intentions. However, the last paragraph of your assertion could be easily misunderstood because the statements are potentially volatile. Let me try to restate your conclusions and please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I would have said that words and scriptures become indistinguishable and merge with the Jnanai! The Scriptures, Jnani, words, explanations, descriptions etc. become one with the Brahman. Truth can never be slayed and all our beliefs about the nature of Truth is slayed! What we seek is the TRUTH, and Scriptures at the beginning can help us a great deal as a tool to find our path and our dependence on Scriptures will disappear slowly and at the end, we can become independent! The sages and saints of Upanishads have made statements similar to the effect. When we try to learn bicycle, we do need all the support that we can get and once we know cycling, those supports become unnecessary! But can we ever say that those supports are unnecessary at the beginning? regards, Ram Chandran >"Harsha (Dr. Harsh K.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 1999 Report Share Posted October 19, 1999 Frankji: Self-realization embraces therefore *the Whole* of brahman. the Self is Everything buttressed by Nothing. the mathematical zero is the circumference of the Whole, simultaneously sublating each of its particular Manifestations appearing and disappearing within It, constituting the eternal Dance of Siva. this is the will of brahman, without beginning without end. to state that the jnani becomes merely Void, is an asserted relative condition, and thus false. to state that the jnani is such and such in *any* contextual format must equally be false. the closest language can come is that the jnani is Everything and Nothing, Void and Plenum...and, thereof, *both and neither*. this is why words and scriptures must in the end crumble. in the end they are not merely obstacles, but slayers! slayers of the truth that even now thunders in the Heart. even now, in OM.
