Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 We know the world through the mind. Sri Ramana used to say that mind is a wonderful power that arises from the Self and makes all this visible. The conscious mind is one manifestation of Kundalini Shakti. Ultimately, Mind, Kundalini, Shakti, Maya, all these mean the same thing. Jnana makes us aware that the rising of (Mind, Maya, Shakti)has a Source which is complete in It Self, the pure Sat-Chit-Ananda. It is because of the presence of Sat-Chit-Ananda at the core of our being, the whole world is starving for love, love or Ananda (joy or bliss) being the root nature. In one way or another, we seek this Ananda, either through material means or spiritual means which are also in a way not different than material means. I remember being at retreat about 23 years ago and talking to this woman in her 60s. She was divorced and actively looking for a man. I advised her to forget about finding love and all that nonsense and focus on meditation and Self-Realization and be free. I remember the pained look on her face and she said, "But I really need to have a man in my life." I was such a fool then. Love to all Harsha ===== /join Mail Plus – Powerful. Affordable.
