Dearest One, Why not relax and let this unfounded anger and judgement go? i write from my Heart and to Sri Ramana's Heart with ecstatic abandon. Here is the moment being presented to post the poem in question, and perhaps i will when this next moment arises. Love Love and let it go Darling. No one is out to ban you from anything. Harsha tolerated your insults with such grace as he IS a truly Beautiful example of Sri Ramana devotee. Let this go and live in Love my friend.

B---- is, i take it meaning "bitch?" Well yes, i am the mother of many children of Love and bliss with every breath i take or do not take, and yes i am fertile with God and i am the one who seems to shake up your self-complacency and brings out the hidden things we need to examine, such as judgement and condemnation and separation. Ah me, isn't life the best" and yes, God is Great Sabu, He is playing with us. > BUT THE I IN ME ASKED ME TO BE SILENT. I BOW T THAT I WHICH GIVES US > WISDOM. But your silence broke free and you spoke your "mind," and we all know what sweet little conundrums the mind loves to involve itself in! i bow to your wisdom and all wisdom whenever the Beautiful One wants me to hear the Love of another. Regardless of how you have spoken it, you are still Love speaking to me, perhaps unbeknowst to even you. Blessings pour from every direction and i am swimming in the Bliss of this moment when we are reaching out and inward to find just who we are and why we do and say the things we do. Is it not so Beloved? i Love You Dearest. LoveAlways, Mazie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Both the self and the Self are interpretations upon perception, and nothing more. And when the interpretation ends, thought ends. When all identity collapses, you abide in the unknown. There is no tendency left to fixate identity anywhere - even in a universal somewhere. So, you are left resting in the mystery as the mystery. It is only then that you can be truly and absolutely free of all concerns. There is nothing to say. What can you say? There is nothing to say." ~ Sri Adyashanti LoveAlways, b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dearest Viorica, All to often i am told of how "sick" my expression of Love for God and Sri Ramana is, and i do not believe it is sick for one moment. That you feel this is indicitive of your own self-imposed judgements and perceptions of what God and Love are and how they should be approached and/or expressed by others. Love is all there is. The fact that you think you need to separate God, spirituality and Sri Ramana from anything that has to do with the body is what has left so many dead and killed and ostracized throughout history. They are not separate but only in the mind's projection of right and wrong and this mind does not always give us the truth. It deceives and allows us to paint false pictures of God. i have never referred to you as stupid, not would i ever. We all are jnanis, as Sri Ramana has told us. Your fear of allowing Love to fully express itSelf in whatever and any way is something for you, for you from the Beloved alone to examine. i understand that some do not care for my expression, but to demean it and demean me is not very kind nor the way of a loving disciple of Sri Ramana. Ask yourself why this poem makes you sick? It is so filled with devotion and reverence and i can tell you now that it was born in Blissful Communion with Sri Ramana. i know this for it is my experience. Bliss and Love and Wisdom are so kind when we drop all are preconveived notions of right and wrong, good and bad. i hope that you can find yourSelf and feel the immense Peace and Love that i have through Grace alone. i fear nothing of what might come for i am anchored in the Heart. i cannot be hurt nor diminished by being called sick or perverted or insane or any negative connotation for i live in the Heart. The Heart Viorica, the HEART! It knows nothing of these limitations and self-righteous stances we try to hold onto. So with that said and done, how 'bout some Beautiful Hafiz? - Tired of Speaking Sweetly - Hafiz Love wants to reach out and manhandle us, Break all our teacup talk of God. If you had the courage and Could give the Beloved His choice, some nights, He would just drag you around the room By your hair, Ripping from your grip all those toys in the world That bring you no joy. Love sometimes gets tired of speaking sweetly And wants to rip to shreds All your erroneous notions of truth That make you fight within yourself, dear one, And with others, Causing the world to weep On too many fine days. God wants to manhandle us, Lock us inside of a tiny room with Himself And practice His dropkick. The Beloved sometimes wants To do us a great favor: Hold us upside down And shake all the nonsense out. But when we hear He is in such a "playful drunken mood" Most everyone I know Quickly packs their bags and hightails it Out of town. ("The Gift" - trans. Daniel Ladinsky) LoveAlways, Mazie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Victoria: Don't bother arguing with "b", you're arguing with a ding dong, don't waste your time or energy and please don't leave the group. Mark Dear Mazie , can you understand that that poem makes me SICK ? Will you ask now 'who' feels sick ? Me , the stupid idealist who doesn't want any sexual connotations related to spirituality and God. Because I am stupid , limited , primitive and an idiot idealistic in human-human relationships and in human-God relationships. I am the idiot one all right .

Mark "Be That Love, not outside looking for it. Advice doesn't help lovers! They're not the kind of mountain stream you can build a dam across. An intellectual doesn't know what the drunk is feeling! Don't try to figure what those lost inside love will do next! Someone in charge would give up all his power, if he caught one whiff of the wine-musk from the room where the lovers are doing who-knows-what! One of them tries to dig a hole through a mountain. One flees from academic honors. One laughs at famous moustaches! Life freezes if it doesn't get a taste of this almond cake. The stars come up spinning every night, bewildered in love. They'd grow tired of that revolving, if they weren't. They'd say, "How long do we have to DO this!" God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing-pain. Remember the lips and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. Be your note. I'll show you how it's enough. Go up on the roof at night in this city of the soul. Let everyone climb on their roofs and sing their notes! Sing loud!" ~Rumi > > Dear Mazie , > > can you understand that that poem makes me SICK ? > > Will you ask now 'who' feels sick ? > > Me , the stupid idealist who doesn't want any sexual > connotations related to spirituality and God. > > Because I am stupid , limited , primitive > and an idiot idealistic in human-human relationships > and in human-God relationships. > > I am the idiot one all right . > > > > > > Sponsor > > > > > I'm a Woman Man seeking a Man Woman > Enter city or ZIP > Age: to > Show only ads with photos > > > > > > Post message: RamanaMaharshi@o... > Subscribe: RamanaMaharshi-@o... > Un: RamanaMaharshi-@o... > List owner: RamanaMaharshi-owner@o... > > Shortcut URL to this page: > /community/RamanaMaharshi > > Terms of Service. > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That you said 'go to hell'. We can be friends. Because those who sign Love are most of them liers but one who loses temper occasionally and throws a 'go to hell' is sincere . Dearest Viorica, Where do you get the statistics or the insight to claim that most of those who sign "Love" are liars? Why is this other fellow with his "go to hell" more believable to you than one who offers Love? This is simply faulty and projected reasoning from old conditioning from the past that makes you feel threatened and unable to trust and allow others to Love you and say they Love you. Had i told you to "go to hell, bitch," i doubt if i would have received the kudos that you have extended to this fellow. If i were to lose my temper and lash out in frustration and anger at you would you have loved me more and believed my sincerity more because of this? i think not Dearheart. > The 'love' signers and the 'Self-realized' are the problem. ((( Where do you come up with this information Viorica? It seems as if you must have been hurt very much in your life to hold such a view of your fellow human beings who are here to Love you and share the Love of Ramana with you. Is it not "Self-Realization" that Sri Ramana says is our birthright and the only reason we are here? If this be so then why such anger at those who might have attained a certain modicum of realization? i am baffled by statements such as these here Dearest. > Did you like the poem ? I would go to hell gladly with all such poems of love dedicated to God. ((( Oh Dearest, the poem is but an expression of divine Love and if you would like i will gladly explain the meaning of each line and stanza for you to relieve your unfounded judgements against it. This is certainly an extreme reaction to something as innocuous as one's expression of Love for the Bhagavan. What really is it about me that so angers you, and what is it that Robert and i have done to make you so upset with us? We really are not so bad if you took the time to know us and see how much we are just like you. > I don't want to insult you signing 'Universal Love' because I really liked you when you said what you wanted to say . > Those people don't realize that they can't sing their lies about their Self/God Realization on a list of devotees and of Self-Enquiry practitioners. ((( This utterly amazes me that you would so blatantly call us liars Viorica. If you could only see how this looks and sounds to others! How can you presume to know our hearts and our relationship with Sri Bhagavan? Your self-righteousness does not wear well my Love and perhaps you might really, actually do some enquiry into this unseemly unkindness and denouncement against your sisters and brothers in Love and God. Do you have some magical liar-meter" that measures the truth of another's expressions? i feel deeply for you that you feel so compelled to attack and demean another who Loves Sri Ramana. Try to understand that i am only asking for the mere reason that all of this hostility really amazes me and baffles me as to why you would carry such an agenda so far. > And if you had the courage to say 'go to hell' > then I will folow your example and > say that most of the poetry dedicated to God > the Beloved on the lists I am/was a member of is > bullshit . As well as the mass of talks > about self-enquiry,self-realizers ... flowing flowing > endlessly ... > Bullshit, friends. ((( Once more Viorica, a narrow and limited opinion that is not held by most. If you would notice, the poetry that Robert and i write frequently is listed in the NondaulHighlights, for some odd reason they must not think we're liars! "Let the Beauty you love be what you do." Calling all of this that you might not even understand perhaps as "Bullshit" is a reflection of your inner state and the mind's restlessness and fears. You have no idea what our relationship to God is, no idea of the depth of our sincerity, and no idea basically what you are ranting on about. Sheesh! Relax and let it all go. Let it go. > > thank you , > you were wonderful with this reply , > and you made me take out mine , > I dare say I could love you because > I feel I like you already , > > vicki ((( Well then, me too DarlingHeart. i dare say i will say i Love you! i Love you! i Love You! And trust me Dearest, i am not a liar and neither is Robert...i feel like i like you already! LoveAlways, (and i MEAN it!)
