Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Some seek a million dollars, and some seek salvation. So if you had the choice (which you don't), I would suggest that you seek a million dollars because if you get a million dollars, there will be someone to enjoy those million dollars. But when enlightenment happens, there will be no " one " to enjoy anything. A Net of Jewels Ramesh S. Balsekar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Hi Sultan, This is not one of Ramesh best examples, I guess even enlightened beings have bad days too. Eh? When one stops believing in a separate self, does enjoyment stop? When one lacks the notion of a self is one Joyless? An infant who hasn't self awareness yet, enjoys things more than an adult. Maybe to Ramesh who was a banker, a million bucks means a lot, or maybe this only speaks volumes about his realization. Who knows, who cares?

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 this is very nice example of speculation, so you can see how ramesh use thinking mind perfectly ... ramanaæ body also enjoyed peanuts at the morning, maharajæ body also enjoyed bedees, so ramesh can talk so nice words, but be very careful, in all sect is just this procedure heppening! sv.aha > Some seek a million dollars, and some seek > salvation.

Era All true, but also, for the enlightened, there is no perception of need that can be fulfilled since all is already contained within the Self. The duality of fulfilled/not fulfilled is seen for the perceptual illusion of mind that it is. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
