Guest guest Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Shakespeare had got it so right It is so obvious to me now I see through every act, every costume I see your real Self smiling, winking back at me ... On the surface pretending to suffer, pretending to seek deep down, enjoying the whole pretence game Transparency has removed the urgency in every act It has removed the sting from suffering It has made bliss and happiness loose their appeal Acceptance, surrender or non-acceptance, What are they to me now? Just more games, more postures Attachment, non-attachment, detachment ... Duality, non-duality, spirituality ... More of the same. All your philosophy, all those concepts all your arguments and debates mere words, words and more words ... Sorry to disappoint you but even our favorite Ramana ... What an actor, what an act Lying there almost naked ... ha ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Namaste Sri Jan: The sages and saints of Upanishads have understood long before Shakespeare that our life is a drama with full of costumes, actions and passions and here is their advice to all of us: "Life is a bridge, enjoy while crossing, and don't build any castle!" In the Shakespearian context, the above quotation may be modified appropriately as follows: "Life is a drama, enjoy your roles and the costumes, and don't try to inherit them!"
