Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Namaste Balaji. I have some problem understanding your point of view here. Can you kindly tell me what you mean by 'apophatic'? Is it the traditional neti, neti? If yes, then from the way you have described it, it looks like arriving at 'something' by excluding 'other things'. Our subject is Self-Realization, i.e. 'knowing' one's own real nature. If the full cleansing mentioned by Toniji takes place, then that real nature should shine on its own. That is the 'Self knowing the Self' - like the Sun shining when the clouds have gone. Everything else then shines after. The Sun knew not his own shine when the clouds covered his face. Even then he was the brilliant Sun. The clouds have now gone leaving everything gloriously shining. The Sun now knows he is the brilliant Sun. Has anything, manifest or unmanifest, been excluded here? PraNAms.
