Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Dear Divakar: Namaste! I am happy to see your query. Knowledge/intellect is all borrowed. In fact it is all accumulated filth. Let me give an analogy, If there is a gutter full of filthy water and the water runs into the sacred water of the Ganga, that gutter water also becomes sacred water. All its impurities and filth disappear. However, if the gutter is very much attached to its filth/knowledge/intellect, it is afraid of losing its filth/knowledge, it might not like the idea of "surrendering" itself to the Ganga. In the house of Gurus one has to "surrender" in the paduka of the Lord/Guru (12th kaalapurusha). Surrender means leaving all your borrowed knowledge/intellect/insecurities/negativities behind. Surrender is not slavery. Surrender in fact frees you from slavery. True surrender is having the awareness of Ishvar in every vision, action, feeling - everything. This can only happen when the fire of awareness burns away the karmic seeds sown in the past janma. What comes out of this "burn". Is it not Gyaana? Yes, Ishvar is Ocean Guru is the River Sishya is the Tributary Om Tat Sat SVC , Divakara Tanjore <div_tan> wrote: > > can you please explain, what does "no room for > knowledge" means... > > Thanks, > Divakar. > > --- svc_astro <no_reply> wrote: > > > Very nice, > > > > In the house of Gurus (meenam) there is no room for > > knowledge/intellect (debilitated Budha).
