Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 *** Sorry for the faulty formatting... Namaste Chitta-ji, Tony-ji, Marc-ji and all; >> Tony: >> So even for the Mukta the world only exists as an appearance >> for as long as the body survives. Pardon me for stepping in the discussion, but i must add something that has already been added in >>Chittaranjan: >>There is no divide of Reality and Appearance for a mukta. There is >>only Knowledge. He who has a body to shed is not a mukta. It is >>only the ajnani who thinks that the mukta's soul is housed in a body. >>The mukta is Eternity, the alpha and omega, He who was, is, and will >> be. 'Why do you limit Ramana to this six-feet?' asked Ramana once. but apparently misinterpreted; The mukta is no longer a person, "the world does not remains as an appearance" or otherwise,simply because "it" won't die anymore, "it" is beyond death. The world exists as himself, and will forever exist as himself, even if we (outside) cease to see the body from which this message (the mukta) has sprouted. Even though a futile effort, to attempt understanding the concept of a mukta seems a bit ofa liberating exercise, and while thinking this i get the same sensation i get when attempting to understand "who is aware of what". The mukta is a black hole that feeds the world what it eats from the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
