Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Dear Carlos, thank you for your kind words. Isn't it wonderful to be blessed with Maharshi's teaching for most of your life? And isn't his teaching truly universal? You are the first person from Bolivia, a country of magic mountains, I have encountered. Yes, vasanas do get extinguished by enquiry. Its a longer process for most people. Vichara truly does what psychoanalysis only professes to do. Bring up hang ups and complexes, fears and phobias and clear them out once and for all.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Maharshi: If a true seeker is advised to mediate, many may goe away satisfied with the advice. But some among them may turn around and ask, " Who am I t meditate on an object?" Such a one must be told to find the Self. That is the finality, that is vichara. Devotee: Will Vichara alone do in the absence of meditation? Maharshi: Vichara is the process and the goal also. "I am" is the goal and the final Reality. To hold to it with effort is vichara. When spontaneous and natural it is Realisation. from the "Talks" Monsoonhouse Int. Kovalam/Kerala contact: christianecameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Dear Carlos, thank you for your mail. I live currently in Germany. I know your country only from Television, but it sure looks beautiful. Don't worry about mistakes. We are all learning. Yes, only the Self is real, but vasanas have to be dealt with through vichara just the same.
