Apology; I had a dream in 1970

[Guest guest]

Dear BTA Sagar Ji, RamaChandran Ji and Harsha Ji,

I would like to point out that "He who has

realized, doesn't say it and he who says, has not realized it". Kena

Upanishad makes it very clear, "if you think, I have understood it well, it

means you still

don't know the form of the Supreme...To whom it is unknown, to him it is in

fact known; and to whom it is known, he doesn't know it; because the supreme

is unknown to those who know it and known to those who don't know it".

Saying "I'm God-realized" is a Paradox. If one doesn't understand the deep

significance of this Upanishad Mantra, please try to read Plato's "Apology",

which contains speeches by Socrates on the same subject. The book is nothing

more than a broad explanation of the Upanishad Mantra.

Talking about Miracles, I would like to point out seriously that any sort of

Miracle has nothing to do with self/God-realization, as Bhagavan Patanjali

makes it very clear in his Yoga Sutras, that Miracles (Siddhis) are like

obstacles in the path of self-realization. I would like to point out again

seriously that Mukti or Atma-jnana is nothing like magic or anything of that

sort, it is far something different from that. It is a real state of this

life and the life after death. A single drop of lust or hatred shows that

there is nothing like self-realization in that person. Lust of any sort and

hatred of any sort. Krishna makes it very clear, saying "tau hyasya

paripanthinau", those two are like thieves, who never let him reach the

abode.

 

In fact, I too, meant everything, in my last mails, as a humor, it was just

a way of joking, but if it has offended anybody I apologize and feel very

sorry. But, however, I understood it very well that Ram Chandran ji and

Harsha Ji were also just in a mood of humor.

Loving Regards and feeling very sorry for any kind of offence has been

comitted,

Siddhartha
