Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 ----- Body ----- ..... D.: I am within the body. M: Are you within the body or without? D.: I am certainly within the body. M: Do you know it to be so in your sleep? D.: I remain in my body in sleep also. M: Are you aware of being within the body in sleep? D.: Sleep is a state of dullness. M: THE FACT IS, YOU ARE NEITHER WITHIN NOR WITHOUT ( <----- what this means ). Sleep is the natural state of being. ------ Truth ------ D.: This method seems to be quicker than the usual one of cultivating qualities alleged necessary for salvation (sadhana chatushtaya )? M : Yes. All bad qualities centre round the ego. When the ego is gone Realization results by itself. There are neither good nor bad qualities in the Self. The Self is free from all qualities. Qualities pertain to the mind only. It is beyond quality. If there is unity, there will also be duality. The numeral one gives rise to other numbers. THE TRUTH IS NEITHER ONE NOR TWO ( <----- what this means ). IT IS AS IT IS. Make your home page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
