Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “Who am I? Who am I? Who am I? I seem to be the very root the puzzle. All these sense organs are like instruments which help me in my actions. Also, they are being seen by me. How can those (which are my instruments and which are seen by me) be 'I'? The mind is the master, stimulator and the illuminator of sense organs. Even the mind is 'seen' by me and it is my instrument. How can it be my self? Buddhi makes decisions. Even buddhi falls into the same category. That which thinks about past things is the Chitta. It also belongs to the same category. That which asserts as 'I' in me is called Ahankara. Even this belongs to the same category. How then can they assume the nature of Sachchidananda?" In Sanskrit: "Asmi kohamasmi masmi koham Vismayaikamoolamasmi sosmi koham Sadhanaatmikaa hi sendriyaalirasti api cha saa madeeya drishya kotigaasti Drishya bhootamapi cha me saadhanam yat tat katham draagaham bhavitumarham? 1 Atha mano yadyapi indriyaanaam naayakam prerakam bhaasakam cha Taddhime drishyakam saadhanam cha tat kathak svaatmataam me sameeyaat 2 Nishchayaatmikaapi buddhireva meva chintanaatmakam cha chittameva meva Sphoorti roopikaapyahamkriti sathaiva sachidanandataam samaapnuyaat katham vaa? 3" Sri Swamiji Journey In To The Self Lessons in Vedanta Volume 1 p.7 Sri Guru Datta, Swamiji Says See Dave Matthews Band live or win a signed guitar http://r.lycos.com/r/bmgfly_mail_dmb/http://win.ipromotions.com/lycos_020201/spl\ ash.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
