Interesting dialogue...re..... greatness....

Dear All:

 

I love this discussion. About greatness.

 

When I first heard about Brahman, I of course took it on the normal level of individual ego and went through the usual individual reactions to ...'ah... I can't

be that....to wow, wouldn't it be great....'.....

 

However, over the years as my experience deepened from meditation,

and I started to have more and more experineces of deep, inner wholeness

and then, later experiences of Unity....

 

then, a time came when Brahman started to be known...

 

And it was the greatet imaginable...

 

When you experience yourself...as the Self...of the Universe...

there is nothing greater....

 

but then, deep within that experience....came also the awareness.... that

everyone else...is that same...Self...also.....

 

And finally, I really understood, why it says in the Vedic literature...

that

 

I am....That.... greatness....

and

Thou art that..... greatness...

 

 

and all this is that! great!

 

 

 

Jai Guru
