Gem's from Bhagavan: Jnani

[Guest guest]

The Jnani does not think He is the body.  He does not even see the body.  He

sees only the Self in the body.  If the body is not there, but only the

Self, the question of its disappearing in any form does not arise.

Dear peter

  

  It is dangerous to quote Bhagwan out of context and more dangerous to follow that quotation.  Surely Bhagwan did not recommend disregard of the body!  He was brooght up in traditional Hindu lore. Ayur-Veda and Patanjali Yog Sutras are part of this lore. A healthy mind can only exist in a healthy body. IBody  is a gift of God and we are only its trustees. We are duty bound to take care of it.

Dear Brij,

 

Please ponder on the replies you gave below - both in relation to Bhagavan's

words quoted in  "Gems from Bhagavan".  You keep seeking to correct the

person who posted these words.  It is to the truth behind/within/beneath the

words, not to the poster of the message, that you/we should give attention.

 

We have already explained to you that "Gems" is part of a series of extracts

from "Gems from Bhagavan" by A. Devaraja Mudaliar.

If we all are pre-programmed robots' why are you wasting your time in the

teachings of Ramanmaharishi ? I wish  the reality was as simplistic as you

make it out . I draw your attention to Gita where Lord krisgna states that

you have right to actions but not to fruit thereof. I suggest be not si

fatalist and have a positive approach'

All the activities that the body is to go through are determined when it

first comes into existence.  It does not rest with you to accept or reject

them.  The only freedom you have is to turn your mind inward and renounce

activities there.  Nobody can say why that freedom alone and no other

freedom is left to man.  That is the Divine scheme.
