Namaste,

 

I don't think we have to take into account the possibility of sages

disguised as animals re Lakshmi. An animal is just as able to attain

Moksha as a human being if it is through love or bhakti. After all we

are animals ourselves. Ramana isn't the only Sage to say that animals

can achieve Moksha. Even people on the astral can achieve moksha the

same way, through love and becoming love, and they don't have the

hardware of a human brain either.

 

Let us remember that ultimately 'God' doesn't have a mind, but yet an

animal is still God, and we cannot make value judgements on who is

more god and less god.........There is only one soul in the

universe...........ONS...Tony.

 

 

Hello, Namaste Dear Tony,

 

Yoganandaji used to tell numerous stories centered around animals,

and he said much the same as Harshaji did, (concerning Sri Ramana's

view

on this subject), and much the same as you do here, my Friend.

I appreciate your reminder, Tonyji, that no matter how great the

experience,

nor how sublime or high-minded, or, to what degree in which we

individually experience and express this same awareness ... there is

only one. One Essence

and One Presence.

 

A very fine point to make, Dearest Tony! Thank you for this. Here's

a Dear picture for your pleasure, a photograph taken by a devotee of

my Guruji. It shows him with a little puppy in his pocket. How I so

adore this sweet image!

" The mind turned inwards is the Self; turned

outwards, it becomes the ego and all the

world. Cotton made into various clothes we

call by various names. Gold made into various

ornaments, we call by various names. But all

the clothes are cotton and all the ornaments

gold. The one is real, the many are mere names

and forms. "
