Guest guest Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 " In some occasions, when we want to go further in our inner growth and spiritual learning, we forget to look after the body, and even sometimes, we despise it. However, the body is the only material possession that is truly ours, that we haven't snatched to somebody, something that mother nature has lent to us, making it with the elements. The thoughts of the mind are abstract, confusing and unreal, whereas the body supplies us with specific and tangible feelings: colours, smells, sounds, tastes... they all are useful experiences that comes to us through the bodily senses. " Caminamos, i have no authority here you are as welcome as anyone else, i just ask questions you don't have to answer: i don't think you understand what this place is about, most people who come here are readers or followers of Nisargadatta and many of Ramana; Nisargadatta was selling cigarettes and said " i know it destroys people's health, and i have public toilet in front of my house that ruins my health and that of my family. " Ramana would say to yogis, " what do you want to do with the body, it is a dead end, with a better health you'll live 5 or 10 more years, what will you do with 5 or 10 more years? the same nonsense you are doing now anyway. " see Caminamos i'm here to ask questions and advertize for my new place where we dismantle belief systems to alleviate the soul of its burden: deconstructionism/ and i'm having fun :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Caminamos i copy for you somehing Durga wrote last week on: GuruRatings/ (you can advertize there too, many people read too) " Ranjit Maharaj used to point to his leg and say, " This body is nothing but a shit mill. Why are you so proud to be the owner of a shit mill? " Then he would chuckle. He think he enjoyed trying to shock us with his choice of words.
