Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 WHAT HE THINKS OF ME Experiencing The Teaching Ramesh S. Balsekar Chapter 10 Ramesh: Hello, you are beaming like a lamp. what's up? Questioner: Well, have you seen the latest copy of the Times? No? Don't bother. I have a copy right here. Page 5. Ramesh: Ah, here we are. A photograph of you, a nice write up too. Is this chap a friend of yours? Question: He is now! Why are you smiling like that? Ramesh: Was I? Like What? Questioner: Like you have something up your sleeve. Like the cat who ate the canary. Ramesh: Oh, well. I was just thinking about "that bastard" who wrote a nasty piece about your book in some "rag" a few days ago. Questioner: Are you making fun of me? Wouldn't you be upset if someone said something rotten about you? Ramesh: Of course not. Why should I be upset about a brickbat thrown at an image in someone else's (aspect of) mind. It's entirely his own creation and quite unrelated to the phenomenon ("me") to which the image is attached. In your own case, a few days ago someone threw a brickbat at an image of you in his mind. Today, someone else through a bouquet at an image in his mind. The phenomenon, that is "you", has remained the same while the images in mind have been different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
