Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya

 

Absorption is of two sorts;

Submergence and destruction.

Mind submerged rises again;

Dead,it revives no more .

 

Swaminathan

 

 

Suppression of the mind in two ways comes,

Absorption and extinction;mind absorbed

Will live again , but mind which is destroyed

Will never more revive,for it is dead .

 

Chadwick

 

 

But ordered silence is not the peace

that passeth understanding.

from Silence,Thought re-emerges,

and the breath trembles into movement.

but who has melted his separate self

in the Seas of Being,

for him Thought has no return ;

for he has come into his own,

Truth that is Peace and Bliss.

 

Comment "Like a doll made of salt that has dived into the sea to measure its

depth-"to use one of

Ramana's favourite images .

 

Anantanarayanan

 

 

There are two forms of control of the mind;laya,absorption and vinasa ,

destruction.The mind that

has attained absorption is born again,but definitely not the mind that is dead .

 

Dayananda

 

 

When the mind is absorbed,in work or otherwise,and the thinking mind is not

active it may be said

that the mind is in control temporarily,only to become active again.When,through

the deep

understanding that "God is the doer and no 'one' has any control over thoughts

and actions"the

thinking mind is totally annihilated then it can be said that the thinking mind

in that body-mind

organism is dead and only the working mind remains.
