Guest guest Posted January 25, 2000 Report Share Posted January 25, 2000 Hi Anurag Your analysis about the Self is very interesting. If I may - I would add :- Inside(the body) or Outside(the body)! Inside(the mind) or Outside(the realm of the mind)! Nothing or Everything! Finite or Infinite! All these concepts are interconnected and belong to the same framework. They sometimes get related through sheer negation or through a limiting process (i.e.. infinite is speculated as the limiting process of the finite). Hence all are necessarily relative. Even the concept relative is also relative as it pre-supposes something ABSOLUTE (Self?) to relate to. (Hence sometimes this Self is called ABSOLUTE). But be warned this Self cannot be cornered through any such mental gymnastics. Otherwise it is a mere by-product of some such mental speculation! Not suggesting for a moment that we give up trying : ) As Sri Ramakrishna would say in his quaint manner, "I want to tell you everything but Mother won't let me". - Anurag Goel <anurag <Ramakrishna > 25 January 2000 11:45 [ramakrishna] Self > Anurag Goel <anurag > > > I was thinking when i am not parts of this body, not this mind.
