Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Since you have heard of the void as being the supreme achievement, you try to attain it. Thus you lapse in to torpor and an insensitiveness which you take for the emptiness of the primordial spirit. Having heard about the absolute as being the ultimate state, you imagine that all things are equal and nothing is worthy of respect. Thus you lapse into casualness and anarchy which you take for the unicity of the primordial spirit. As you have heard about purity being total bliss, you strive to attain it. Thus you lapse into intransigence and a rigidity which you take for the transparency of the primordial spirit. Having heard about detachment being the one and only freedom, you try to separate your selves from the world and yourselves. Thus you lapse into indifference which you take for the independence of the primordial spirit. Baldheads, it is the primordial spirit that is said to be emptiness, unicity, transparency and independence. The component of the wheel of existence that you are can never any of these faculties. But if you would see the primordial spirit, you would know that it is your real nature, that it cannot be qualified in any way and that in reality no name can be given to it. You would then also know that the terms void, absolute, purity, detachment and even primordial spirit itself, are nothing but words that only exist for you on account of your blindness and ignorance. Baldheads, if you want to simulate the primordial spirit, that is the end of you. * * * ( To be continued) Jai Sri Ramana Ramana Sarma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Much as one may appreciate the poetry of Chan one cannot feel that Bhagavan has lifted us beyond this 'we cannot do anything' attitude .The practice of Self Enquiry he made available to the householder can take us to the Self or primordial void . <tt> <BR> Since you have heard of the void as being the supreme achievement, you try<BR> to attain it.
