Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 The hope of healing the suffering in the world is an egoic delusion and one of the facets of the grandiose vanity that is itself the mother of all 'suffering'. The desire to reduce what the identified entity sees as suffering is merely the camouflaged hope to assuage an internalized uncomfortableness. Nisargadatta cautions us to offer help when it seems appropriate but encourages us not to be 'do-gooders'. When asked what one should do about poor people.......Ramana said: " God made them, Let God take care of them. " Healing the " suffering in the world " is about as realistic as healing all of the people in your dreams at night. toombaIt is always a very touchy subject. The intersting thing is that we live in a world that is ruled by opposites and those are laws. Do good and evil will quickly follow as much as every day is followed by a night. Help when you can, but not to do good, and know what you are doing..not much in any case but putting band-aids Patricia ** If you do not wish to receive individual emails, to change your subscription, sign in with your ID and go to Edit My Groups: /mygroups?edit=1 Under the Message Delivery option, choose " No Email " for the Nisargadatta group and click on Save Changes.
