Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 It did not seem like Maharaj was acting when he was angry. Since he once got angry at me, I can tell you it felt completely real. I do not believe there is any separation in Maharaj. He doesn't have to be separated from his body mind because there is no duality remaining on any level at all. As for him getting angry at Balsekar, makes perfect sense to me. (But that is for another posting) Maharaj supposedly asked Mr. Sapre (the erudite translator) to leave because he realized that this translator was interposing himself to much. I think that Maharaj's ire has gotten more attention than his giving of love. There is an incident I recall where a Rajneesh disciple had been attending satsang and was asking many questions. Maharaj looked at the sanyassin and said with complete love " Don't you get to ask your guru these kinds of questions? " The sanyassin answered that Satsang in pune was large and difficult to ask questions. Maharaj's gaze was filled with so much love and care. Yes, Maharaj had little patience for the professional seeker, throwing them out on their ear. Maybe this is inquiry in action, that we should throw the seeker in all of us out on our ears. Anyway, I think that Maharaj did not check his emotions, I do not think he was calculated. I believe it was all love in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 Hi Cathy, Namaste... some people seem to think that 'Realization' wipes out emotions, and clearly it doesn't happen that way. Emotion is a form of thought, and thought clearly doesn't cease and produce a vegetable or some sort of glowing, white ball of light. If the body doesn't die, why should thought (or emotion) either? However, if Maharaj ever 'held a grudge' I would be incredibly surprised. That kind of thing requires (illusion of) a person (ality). It just happens that things are no longer 'sticky'... including emotions. Anger may arise and be forgotten 5 minutes later. I don't buy the 'acting' bit for a second, unless a situation spontaneously calls for it, and then 'acting' would be spontaneous too. Thought seems to arise in response to situations that require it -- and that would include the 'thought-form' called 'emotion'.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 Hi Cathy, Without an ego, one does not need to check his emotions. The number of times Maharaj showed these emotions was most probably the same number of times he felt them. Most remarkable! Thanks again for the continuing account. I'm enjoying reading it immensely. mort Nisargadatta, cathywb@p... wrote: > It did not seem like Maharaj was acting when he was angry.
