Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 --- stuartkfmn <stuartkfmn a écrit : These are my notes and realizations relating to a vidio tape I just saw of a Gangaji satsang: ------ Just stop. The only thing that is hard to do is the doing. The stopping is not a doing and is not hard; it is nothing. What keeps the mind there is the use of it. The resolution of the mind is its non use. The mind says first I must understand and then I will be free, but the truth is, be free and then I can understand. The mind works to end the pain and fear, yet the mind is the source of all pain and fear. Who is failing? Who dies? Who stops? Who makes the effort to understand? See these questions not as an effort to find an answer, but rather as a life long lookingness that is conscious and that has no name or label. Only a named thing can die or fail. Remove the label. Recognize that which has no label as that which looks. Recognize that the looking is not from a viewpoint for no-thing is not located and so has no viewpoint. What is there to contrast or be the background for that which looks but has no labels? For something to exist it must resist something. --------- Stu Now that this almighty mind is reduced to its oyster`s size and purpose, how are you going to inquire. and about what? and when? funny, when the mind gets lost, How simple it all become or was already.

If my ego were reduced I wouldn't inquire :-) I only inquire for the sake of solving problems or avoiding future pain and fear. > funny, when the mind gets lost, > How simple it all become or was already. > Mine only gets lost for seconds or minutes...:-( But those are very nice seconds:-) Stu > 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. > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
