Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Dear Don, I have done silence for 10 days Doing Vipassana meditation. I was not to have the eye contact too. If we dont look at anyone and don't talk the ego goes throgh such distress and pain.............. it was an eye opener to me how much I do not abide in the Self. But once I fially settled down on the 8th or 9th day I really did not want to talk. At that point it was romantic!!!!!!!!!! Love Reenamichael bindel <michael_bindel wrote: OM NAMO BHAGAVATE SRI RAMANAYA Dear Don Dear unknown friend in this wonderful list i would not dare to send messages like this if their content would not not only fill my inner being b u t a r e "my" way to live what "i" know to be true fullpoint thank you for your welcome reaction to the work of this being in love in GD in Ramana michael , michael bindel <michael_bindel> wrote:> > Silence> > Maharshi: Language is only a medium for communicating one's thoughts to another.
