Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Partial quote from NDS Sri Ranjit Maharaj, a now fully Accomplished sage and Master in his own right, in a question and answer format, was asked the following, and, even though an advocate of the direct method of " the bird's way " responded from his Awakened state reflective of an Indian perspective: QUESTION: If all is illusion, are you yourself an illusion? MAHARAJ: Oh, yes! I am the greatest illusion! All that I say with full heart and so frankly is all false! But the false " I " can make you reach that point. The address of the person is not the goal. When you reach the house, thanks to the address you have been given, the address is true only until the moment you enter the house. As soon as you come in, the address vanishes. Words are nothing else but indications; they have no reality themselves. If " I " remains, I am also illusion. Don't remain as " I. " That is the highest understanding of philosophy. Saint Tukaram said: " I have seen my own death, and what I have seen there, the joy that was revealed, that I know. " First of all, you must die. " You " means illusion.
