Adharmamo Naashanamo Naashanamo

[Guest guest]

Jai Gurudeva Datta, we started the discussion by the word compassion. Which led

to spontaneous actions, stupid actions and now adharmic actions. Next to the

beneath reactions i would like to say: Adharmamo Naashanamo Naashanamo.

Sri Guru Datta, Win

 

Ad[1] Sri Swamiji has said to study Sri Guru Gita by for example reading it at

least 7 times. By this method of repeating one can build up an "understanding"

that forms the basis for "thinking". One who meditates(Dhyana) repeats the same

thing to get better understanding of that. (This is nothing new.)

..

ad[2] I agree, we should study Sri Swamiji His words, he has said to do this in

one of His recent speeches. Further see ad[1]

..

ad[3] see ad[2]

..

ad[4] The quotation of Bhaja Govindam was to indicate the usage of the word

"fool"(stupido) by the Great Shankaracharya an avatar of Lord Shiva. ..I agree

that people should feel free to participate in discussions.

..

ad[5] Dont forget we are discussing and in discussions one uses arguments.

..

ad[6] Sri Guru Ashtakam according to my understanding gives summary of Guru

Tattva.

[1]to simply take refuge in scripture is to back away from understanding.

[2]Furthermore, to simply quote Swamiji -- without spending more than a second

analyzing the depth of his statements -- doesn't lead you anywhere.

 

..

 

[3]It is not enough to memorize Sri Swamiji's words -- but to understand their

depth and significance is the point of it all.

 

..

 

[4]I ask that people stop being afraid to think, to say what is on their minds,

to get to the truth; rather than point each other towards this scripture and

that,

 

..

 

[5]which is like a blind man, showing another blindman a videotape of the truth

and being content that there is such a videotape in existence without having

tasted the nectar of that truth. What is the point? A truth which you haven't

personally tasted, is useless and meaningless.

 

..

 

[6]People keep repeating "focusing on the sadguru's feet is the only solution"

in one way or another -- but has anyone really thought about what this IMPLIES?

It doesn't mean taking a picture of his foot and training your mind to remember

that. Go deeper into the meaning of things. Staring at his feet is no more

elevating than staring at mine -- people need to spend time THINKING about what

Sri Swamiji says.
