SILENCE

August 28, 2008

Namaste,

Taking 'food' is the only way to resolve 'hunger' (unless the person is

'realised'). Till then no amount of 'knowledge' about 'food' will help to remove

'hunger'. The 'food' literally has to be 'taken' in. Similarly to discover

'self' no amount of intellectual deliberations will suffice. The only one and

only way is to decide for oneself how deep is his 'hunger' for that 'self' to be

discovered and how far the seeker is willing to go? It begins and end in

meditation which resides in 'SILENCE'. And the 'discovery' is for him and him

alone and cannot be spared for another.

In the mean time let me recap Kanchi Maha Swamigal's 'Advaita Sadhana'

discourses English translation by Shree Kriishnamurthyji, page 26:

" ....This desire for this permanent happiness is a must for everybody. Let the

actual attainment of this be far away. But that attainment is our birthright and

it is our only goal of life and we must create a longing for ourselves in that

direction. It is to generate that longing, that this permanent happiness is

projected here as if in a photograph.

There is another reason also. Every one may not be ready for the... "

I think through this group it is this longing that is created by sharing of

one's knowledge with the members at large.

Posting with a sense of detachment will resolve all issues affecting ego /pride

etc. They are all very powerful identifications and infact the real driver.

Controlled use of them will make life sublime and lead to the higher levels of

perceptions.
