Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hi Louis Very cryptic! For the less enlightened still struggling with duality, could you elucidate a little?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Sorry Paula - The link gives all the details - are you not able to access it? I know no more than what is says on the web page:- "If you want moksha write, read and practise the instructions in Ellam Ondre." Ramana Maharshi The Book - Ellam Ondre (All is One) "The instant you wake up you will know that waking is better than this dream." Quote from Ellam Ondre This small but extraordinary book was written in the 19th century and has been translated from Tamil into English. The author is unknown. It was popularized by the sage, Ramana Maharshi, who often named it along with a few others to disciples who were in pursuit of wisdom. This book, highly saturated in wisdom teachings, names the single most effective method of attaining to realization (i.e. enlightenment, moksha or liberation). The Maharshi especially emphasized the book to those who had difficulty reconciling the concept of multiple gods (as in the Hindu religion) with the Advaitha concept of a single Universal Creator. This book explains how there is no basic conflict between these points of view, as long as things are viewed from the perspective that all the diverse beings and objects in this expansive universe are essentially parts of a greater whole - or as the book sums it up: All is One.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Thanks, Louis, no I wasn't able to access the book - I only got a glimpse of the cover (there's a lesson in that alone!). It sounds fascinating and thanks for telling us about it. Love Paula Louis Mitchell <louismitchell wrote: Sorry Paula - The link gives all the details - are you not able to access it?
