Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 STUDY GROUP on SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTION CHAPTER 2 PRACTICE Abhyasa V6. Q. AS THE SELF SHINES FULLY OF ITS OWN ACCORD WHY IS IT NOT GENERALLY RECOGNISED LIKE THE OTHER OBJECTS OF THE WORLD BY ALL PERSONS ? M. Wherever particular objects are known it is the Self which has known itself in the form of those objects. For what is known as knowledge or awareness is only the patency of the Self (atma sakti). The Self is the only sentient object. There is nothing apart from the Self. If there are such objects they are all insentient and therefore cannot either know themselves or mutually know one another. It is because the Self does not know its true nature in this manner that it seems to be immersed and struggling in the ocean of birth (and death) in the form of the individual soul. -------- anu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee STUDY GROUP on SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTION CHAPTER 2 PRACTICE Abhyasa V5 Q WHAT IS THE NATURE OF MAYA ? M. Maya is that which makes us regard as non-existent the Self, the Reality, which is always and everywhere present, all-pervasive and self-luminous; and as existent the individual soul (jiva), the world (jagat), and God (para) which have been conclusively proved to be non-existent at all times and places. -------- anu Post message: RamanaMaharshi Subscribe: RamanaMaharshi- Un: RamanaMaharshi List owner: RamanaMaharshi-owner Shortcut URL to this page: http://www./community/RamanaMaharshi Links RamanaMaharshi/ RamanaMaharshi Attachment: (image/gif) [not stored] Attachment: (image/gif) [not stored] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
