Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Dear Ones, I have been rejected many times in many different situations. All of us have. We are rejected sometimes because of our religion, skin color, politics, the points of view we hold, or even our names and form, and how attractive we are or how young we are or how wise we are, etc. Most recently, I was rejected for having a id which the moderator did not feel was appropriate to his list. So I am not able to post on that particular list. In fact, HS is the only list in which I have so far been allowed to post in. When the moderator (who is a beautiful soul and a fair person) informed me that I would be moderated and that if I wished to post I should try to get a more ordinary ID, I had to thank him for his good advice based on common sense. I blessed the moderator and accepted his decision cheerfully. I used to post as Maharishi Bingo Ram a few years ago. Now I have shortened it to Maharishi Bingo. Probably it may be more acceptable to some people if I change to just Bingo or just Ram. If you have suggestions please let me know. I have been rejected many times by many people in many situations. Now, I have experienced rejection for having a bad fake name as well. So now I know that among reasons for rejection, I can add having a id which does not sit well with some list moderators. Well, I am able to post on this list, so that's good at least. As I meditated on rejection the following thoughts came to me. I am I, in this moment where past and future merge. The ancient one beauty supreme seen in the heart alone. To know me is to love me. Maharishi Bingo Ram -- Love, serve, and be helpful, but without getting disgusted, tired, pessimistic, and exhausted.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Well, seeing as how you seem to understand the 'common sense' implications of a maharishibingo ID on a forum/Satsang which at least wishes to take it's focus on Truth seriously, if not themselves, the actual source of the rejection is clearly the one who chooses an image (ID) that is likely to be rejected. You didn't state that you were struggling with this, so I won't assume you are. It's just that, from one perspective, it seems an odd game to play: create rejection, then question the appropriateness of one's own creation.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Dear One, This is an excellent insight indeed! No I am not struggling with rejection but do see your point. I do have a reason for going by Maharishi Bingo Ram. Maharishi of course means "The Great Seer". The description fits me well. Bingo refers to hitting the target. Ram, of course, is a very common Indian name. By the way, what you said below is very funny.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Dear One, These are all good questions. Long time ago, when I realized the divine shining in my heart as myself, I had the great desire to share this beauty with others. Due to the intensity of my love for love of the heart and being, that is what I often spoke about and thought about. This attracted many wonderful people. Whenever, I spoke of this, people responded towards my form, which although quite ordinary, evidently appeared to them as divine and sweet. My self-realization was then young. I meditated on this phenomena of love offerings to me. I saw that the teachings of the heart and pure being are filtered through karmic personality of the students. It seemed to me that if I accepted the love offerings, it would dilute the teachings. On the other hand, staying silent and appearing to reject the love offerings would not be a compassionate thing to do and may cause hurt feelings. Therefore, I gave my blessings and disappeared. Due to my love, I periodically reappear to give the pure and ancient teachings of the heart.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Rejection is a great thing. It allows one to stand outside the herd and put things into perspective. Bingo asks for name suggestions. You seem like the blissful sort. How about Bingananda? Better yet, why not "The Performer Who Was Once Known As Bingo"? Anyway, maybe its time to stop thinking about yourself and name and form. And if anyone gives you an offering, take it, give them thanks, then pass it on to me. Problem solved.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Dear One, Do you see what I mean? It seems even simply reading my words on the computer screen leaves you delirious with admiration and awe. Imagine the blessed condition of those who actually hear the sound vibrations emanating from lips. You ask good questions but I have no good answers. I am a deep mystery; so much so that I am even mysterious to myself. I can only be known in the heart as being.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Dear One, Thank you for taking the time to make many good suggestions. I like your offering of Bingananda a lot. Maharishi Bingananda has a good ring to it. May I keep this in reserve please for the future? A few years ago, my id was Maharishi Bingo Ram. However, due to prolonged Samadhi states, I forgot the password. Therefore, I had to get a new id. It took me many repeated attempts at figuring out how the system works (my state of consciousness makes me unable to focus on anything for a long time). As far as your suggestion that I stop thinking about my name and form, it is a very good one but not practical for me. All such efforts are not possible for me. In my pure enlightened state of being, It does not matter to me if I think about my name and form or some one else's name and form or go without thinking all together. Its all the same.
