Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Dear Sri Swati, I had an opportunity to participate in todays chat for a short period. There was an interesting discussion that was going on between Mr.Miles and John. It was so interesting and I manually recored a portion of that chat. I would like to share it for the benifit of other members ( hope .... I am in order ). Thank you very much for the excerpts of the chat session. I am in Mumbai, India and I find that I am unable to log into the chat session of the group held every Friday. If you and other members who enter the chat room could record such discussions and give us excerpts, it would partly compensate for our loss, of not being able to witness such chats. This responsibility could be taken by a couple of members by rotation each Friday, for reporting on the session. Thank you. om gurave namah anbudan suri swathi dora <doraksp (AT) (DOT) co.in> wrote: John.: " Silence is eternal Speech " Mr.Miles.: Is Silence eternal Speech or the Speech of the Eternal ? John.: Silence is Eternal Speech . I feel I understand it very well, deep inside, yet not logically. John.: Yes I see your question now. Mr.Miles.: Interms of 'vyakarna' and the ancient grammarians Silence is that form which speech follows. John.: OK, I understand that speech falls away from it , in the way that waves flow or fall away from the ocean ..... Mr.Miles.: That which is the speech of the Eternal cannot fall it is 'paSyantI' ( the eternal shining one ) that is the Silent core of every speaker. John.: I only sort of get it ... Mr.Miles.: Speech comes from 'no where' forms and is then spouted forth in gross form .... that Silent space remains unchanged .... also the hearer understands speech by the light of 'paSyantI' - Speech comes from and returns to exactly the same Silent space. John.: Yes I think the understanding is dawning now. Mr.Miles.: Speech comes from no where ( or looks like it does ) it forms ( from the formless ) and then is spouted forth ...... the three fold speech is often referred to and largely ignored by commentators ... paSyanti > madhyamA > vaikhari formless > forming > formed. when the threefold speech is traced it is in effect vichara. ( John's comment after Mr.Miles left the chat room .: The one with Miles just now was a veritable jewel ..... it would be nice to have saved it ) Let me thank Mr.Miles & John for this wonderful discussion. If there are any errors pls correct me. I don't know whether I am in order in reporting this coversation because I am not fully aware of RM rules and regulations .... I only hope that I am in order.
