Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Disciple: Sri Bhagavata outlines a way to find Krishna in the Heart by prostrating to all and looking on all as the Lord Himself. Is this the right path leading to Self Realization? Is it not easier thus to adore Bhagavan in whatever meets the "mind" than to seek the Supramental through the mental inquiry "Who am I?" Maharshi: Yes, when you see God in all, do you think of God or do you not? You must certainly think of God for seeing God all around you. Keeping God in your mind becomes dhyana, and dhyana is the stage before Realization. Realization can only be in and of the Self. It can never be apart from the Self, and dhyana must precede it. Whether you make dhyana on God or on the Self, it is immaterial; for the goal is the same. You cannot by any means escape the Self. You want to see God in all, but not in yourself? If all is God, are you not included in that all? Being God yourself, is it a wonder that all is God? This is the method advised in Sri Bhagavata and elsewhere by others. But even for this practice there must be the seer or thinker. Who is he?
