Guest guest Posted April 11, 2001 Report Share Posted April 11, 2001 Hi Tim -- Enjoying your comment. Perhaps Maharaj seemed to arise and make a comment, just as everything else seems to arise, and just as our comments here seem to arise. What can be commented upon really, when there is no " outside " in which to be situated to comment? From here -- there is no " perhaps " about it -- it's the same " seeming to arise " and there's no more of a " doer " " judger " " chooser " there, in Maharaj, then here in " me " , or there in " you " or in " Cathy " or " El " , or.. or .. Love, Dan Being a great thinker probably means something different to whoever hears the phrase. Here is a quote from my website, 'as Omkara sees it': " There are seeming levels to communication, but it is not so. Two winos discussing where to get their next drink is the same as two math professors discussing the integral calculus. Communion is happening in both cases, and in both cases the words are extra, just an excuse for the communion to be, a carrier or transmitter of the communion. " What it meant to Nisargadatta (if anything), and whether it was a compliment or not, undoubtedly will remain forever unknown. Perhaps he just felt it appropriate to make a comment at the time, so as to acknowledge Krishnamurti for the 'benefit' of those present.
