Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hare Krishna, Namaskarams, I thank Shri Vaibhav, Shri Ramachandran and Shri Sastri for their valuable response to my post. [ " Saintliness (santatva) is not in the math (monastery), saintliness is not in poetry (kavitva), not is it in scholarliness (vidvatta), (you need) svanubhava for saintliness.] What a beautiful lines pregnant with so much meaning in it. [shri Ramachandan wrote : If we learn to witness the circulatory debates with the same attitude of looking at the flowers, etc., the circulation will momentarily stop without motion! This is not my words but they inscribed in bold letters within Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads!!] Shashtanga Namaskarams to the Adhi Guru and my beloved Lord Krishna and I always look for some revelation in such debates that is why I said should we not see through the scriptures which includes the bhashyams and now the debates. Certainly my knowledge of Sanskrit is very limited to even enter in to such debates. The thoughts rise in me because I personally look for some revelations in the writings of respected members as instructions from my lord Krishna and as such I enjoy reading each and every post of the group. Just my view of things. In fact without exaggeration or to impress anybody, each time I send a post I submit it to the lord first saying KrishNArpanam and then post it to the group. [shri satry wrote: Real advaitic experience is seeing God even in the most repulsive creatures, in a leper, a cold-blooded murderer, an ugly animal. That is what is difficult to attain.] Yes. True advaitic experience includes all that you have said I shall bear that in my mind always. baskaran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is from a Marathi book named " Shri Gajanan Vijay " , which is the description of life of Sant Gajanan Maharaj, who lived in Shegaon, Maharashtra at the beginning of the last century. It is composed by Shri Dasganu Maharaj. Now you can chat without downloading messenger.

Namaste, (The English translation of this biography is at: http://www.gajanandarshan.com/pothi1.htm ) These words also remind one of the famous 'bhajan' by Saint Kabir: http://cdbaby.com/cd/ajoychakrabarty2 Moko kahan dhundo re vande Mai to tere pasame Na tiratha me na muratame Na ekanta nivasa me Na mandira me na masjid me Na kashi kailas me Mai to tere pasa me Na mai jap me na mai tapa me Namai vrata upavasa me Na mai kriya karma me rahata Na mai yag sannyasa me Khonji hoye to turata mil jaun Expalahi ki talas me Kahe Kabir suno bhai sadho Mai to hun visvasa me Meaning: Where are you seeking me, O devotee, I am always with you. I do not live in a temple or mosque Neither in pilgrimage nor in idols do I live. Neither in Kashi (Benares) nor in Kailash. I am always with you. 'You will not find me by turning rosaries nor by penance, nor by sacred vows, nor through fasting, you will not get me through rituals and sacrifices, nor through renunciation'. If your quest is sincere then you will find me in a moment. Kabir says " Oh saints hear me " - God is to be found only in the unwavering faith in Him.
