Adios

[Guest guest]

bye friends..

 

i leave now.my visit was brief but fulfilling.

 

it was a catharisis.

 

my background is - im a telecom engineer.im 30. i was

keen on embracing formal Vedantic monkhood..but

somehow it was not to be; partly becoz i was thrown

off-balance by Balsekar.

 

...the time is gone,the song is over..thought i had

some thing more to say-Pink Floyd.

 

so,..it was catharitic for me.

 

nothing sentimental..i leave for selfish reasons-i am

not able to devote much time and have pressing

professional reasons...being a passionate man this

list is eating into my time.and moreover- this list is

not very satisfying to me-im not " gaining "

much...pretty much routine and kindergarten stuff..i

rejoice in the words/lives of the MASTERS..for me that

is satsang.yes alberto you were right -im one of those

who keep jumping from lists to lists:-).

 

Donny..you mentioned somewhere that you dont like

people being nice to you and you'd rather have it

straight..hope i have been straight enough with

you:-).

 

i am passionate,i am arrogant,i get angry ..i am

human..i am an aspirer after the vedantic ideal..i am

not a pretender...i dont say i have realised the truth

of advaita when in fact my every breath says the

contrary.

 

THERE IS A WAY.THE MASTERS HAVE SHOWN IT.STRUGGLE IS

REQUIRED.BUT IT NEED NOT BE TAKEN AS A BURDEN.THE FULL

STOP IS THE MASTERS WORD.INTELLECT CANNOT JUMP OUT OF

ITSELF-AN ENDLESS CIRCLE IT IS.

 

Steve..all the best to you..take care and enjoy

yourself.

 

Hur Guler-the eternal witness:-) i know you read the

stuff posted...your board is a wonderful homage to the

sage.my humble pranams to you.

 

alberto-use your stick more on yourself.

 

This is not a alberto's goodbye.:-)Take care and god

bless.

 

Who else but Nisargadatta at the end....

 

 

" " Within the prison of your world appears a man who

tells you that the world of painful contradictions,

which you have created, is neither continuous nor

permanent and is based on a misapprehension. He pleads

with you to get out of it, by the same way by which

you got into it. You got into it by forgetting what

you are and you will get out of it by knowing yourself

as you are. "

 

" The seeker is he who is in search of himself.

 

Give up all questions except one: 'Who am I?'

 

After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you

are. The 'I am' is certain. The 'I am this' is not.

STRUGGLE to find out what you are in reality. "
