Sat Cit Ananda 2

Hi ,

And yet.. when you wake up there is the sense that all that

passed was a 'dream'. There are nor chariots, no elephants, no

ticker tape and where did that babe go? The mode of awareness

called 'dream' has been sublated i.e. sub latio or drawn under the

greater reality of the waking state. This is the classic Advaita of

Shankaracarya. Likewise and similarly the waking condition with its

relativity is drawn under the nondual realisation of the unity of

being. The idea is that there is a progressive developement and

there is a progressive path. Opposed to that is the sudden drop

which is well noted in the annals of enlightenment. By the bye the

word 'enlightenment' is fine and though tarnished by commerce a rub

of the hem of Ramakrishna's dhoti brings it up like new.

 

" When hearing the name of Hari or Rama once, you shed tears and your

hair stands on end, then you may know for certain that you do not

have to perform such devotions as the sandhya any more. Then only

will you have a right to renounce rituals; or rather, rituals will

drop away of themselves. Then it will be enough if you repeat only

the name of Rama or Hari, or even simply Om " (Ramakrishna)

worlds of words

and

words of worlds

come together

as rain,

falling…

 

gently

harshly

 

Oh, Love,

reign on me in your

wet breath,

let me taste You

again

and again...

 

 

Anna
