More on 'The Soul'

[Guest guest]

>From our previous post...

 

“Revelation tells us that if and when we find that Source, we shall find not

only the Self, but also the Reality that underlies the world-appearance; and

this will be the case, because the Self and the Reality are one and the same."

 

[To continue...}

 

"The ego is thus seen to be the arch-deceiver, the true Satan or Ahriman.

He is the only enemy of God and man. He is the enemy of right knowledge. He is

the inventor of murder and lying. He is the cosmic Macbeth, who is constantly

murdering Peace, which is true Happiness. He is the impostor who has usurped

the seat of the real Self. Therefore he is debarred from entrance into the

State of Deliverance, the Kingdom of Heaven that is in us, taught by Jesus.

"The Sage has told us that the ego is all the evil there is, while egolessness

is all the good there is. From the ego, which is ignorance, proceed all the

evils that beset life. All that is good and worthy of reverent cultivation

belongs to egolessness."

....from Chapter Six, called "The Soul" in the book Maha Yoga by "WHO", Lakshmana

Sharma, who spent more than twenty years in association with Sri Bhagavan: the

entire book can be downloaded free-of-charge from the website of Sri

Ramanasramam.http://www.ramana-maharshi.org/

Do you interpret this to mean that "Being" (self) and "The

Absolute" ("Big" self) are words for the same

"thing?"

I think "Being" is a thing. The Absolute is not being or

non-being.

What say you?
