I am very familiar with this problem too and thought it tempts me to

respond I choose not to for my personal reasons. I told DB, no! let

listen to this Lulu, she is here to tell us something and by gosh! she

did.

 

I thank you Lulu. I have learnt now. I shall stop responding to this

thread further.

 

Just to share something with all :

 

The other thing to keep in mind is that mirrors are all pretty much

the same. Narcissus doesn't notice anything particular about any of

them because he's too busy maneuvering to get and hold their attention

and too busy admiring the important image of him they're reflecting in

the inordinate amount of attention he gets from them. Since people are

just mirrors to him, he has no more interest in them than you or I

have in a mirror we are studying our image in. Similarly, a narcissist

has a knee-jerk reflex that tunes people out as background noise. He's

too busy thinking of what to say next and too busy admiring how he

sounds to hear them. This means that what Narcissus doesn't know about

the significant others in his life is both amazing and diagnostic.

What you are describing here, it seems, is the limited ego or sense

of seperation. Self realization does not refer to this small self,

whom we are all friends with....

 

The small self, or narrow mind can also delude itself believing

there is no such thing as Self realization, people who doing sadhana

are trying to be special , self restraint is not necessary, guru is

disempowering ..etc etc

 

Sadhana is concerned with taming the body mind obsession..Our true

nature is Devi's boundless love, and immense peace...the mind's

trivialities can never capture it.

 

 

 

Thank you ckeniley for your valuable comment. Do keep them coming.

 

So do tell me how does the Self-Realized "the big" one becomes big.

It starts from small yes!. Like a child you move : you crawl, then

you slowly stand on you two little feet, then you walk and

subsequently when your legs and balance is good enough, you run.

When you are strong enough in your run and your stamina is good you

run the marathon or the triathlon.
