Balsekar http://www.advaita.org January 26 Trying to control the mind forcefully is like trying to flatten out waves with a board. It can only result in further disturbance. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The true understanding comes from outside. It is not of the space-time dimension. Therefore, we can only call it Grace. Keeping your being open and receptive to that other dimension is a matter of Grace.

The light is for all and always there, but the seekers are few, and among those few, those who are ready are very rare. Ripeness of heart and mind is indispensable.

The Wisdom of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Posted by: " Manuel " manuel1498 manuel1498 Fri Jan 26, 2007 10:18 pm (PST) " It is not the worship of a person that is crucial, but the steadiness and depth of your devotion to the task. Life itself is the Supreme Guru; be attentive to its lessons and obedient to its commands. When you personalize their source, you have an outer Guru; when you take them from life directly, the Guru is within.

The Wisdom of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Posted by: " Manuel " manuel1498 manuel1498 Fri Jan 26, 2007 10:27 pm (PST) " Fight with all the strength at your disposal against the idea that you are nameable and describable. You are not. Refuse to think of yourself in terms of this or that. There is no other way out of misery, which you have created for yourself through blind acceptance without investigation. Suffering is a call for enquiry, all pain needs investigation. Don't be lazy to think.

Balsekar http://www.advaita.org January 29 When man accepts finally that he cannot make sense out of life on the basis of anything fixed, then and only then can life make sense! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The personal self or " me " imagines itself to be limited and confined to a particular body. Self-enquiry seeks the source of this spurious " me " by focusing on it the spotlight of attention or awareness, whereupon the " me " vanishes because it does not have any independent existence. It is revealed as being merely an illusion. What remains is that same universal Consciousness that was always already there as the true nature or very BEING of the artificial " me.
