Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 D- On realizing samadhi , does one not obtain sidhis [supernatural powers] also ? Maharshi - In order to display sidhis , there must be others to recognize them. That means there is no jnana in the one who displays them. Therefore , sidhis are not worth a thought: jnana alone is to aimed at and gained. D - Does my realization help others ? M - Yes , and it is the best help that you can possibly render to others. Those who have discovered great truths have done so in the still depths of the Self. But really there are no "others" to be helped. For the Realized Being sees only the Self, just as the goldsmith sees only the gold while valuing it in various jewels made of gold. When you identify yourself with the body , name and form are there.But when you transcend the body-consciousness , the "others" also disappear. The Realized One does not see the world as different from himself. Exclusive Video Premiere - Britney Spears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
