Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Mourning is not the index of true love. It reflects love of the object, of its shape only, but that is not love. True love is shown by the certainty that the object of love is in the Self and that it can " never " become " non-existent " .

You can walk around Arunachala a million times and wear a diaper.... and....trust me.......you will never become enlightened. He was a talking head......through which consciousness spoke eloquently to itself. There is no head higher then your own. toombaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
