Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Divine self, sand or mud is sand. That is its intrinsic quality and depending on the environment in which it is gets associated attains newer but unique qualities such as the porous nature of riverbed and the clay you can mould in any shape.None is superior because nothing is inferior either ,and both are part of this universe .. It would be of interest to some of you to know that one sub sect of the Hindu Brahmin's tradition puts on a " U " mark on their forehead made out of white mud, (chalk-like) and a red-mud streak in the middle supposed to symbolically make us aware that we finally go back there and is supposed to nurture the quality of humility in us.

I think that we have to be careful with this line of thinking though because it may bring about feelings of superiority, which in its essence is contrary to yoga! ---Nova " narasimhan raghavan " <rnpath Friday, May 21, 2004 4:54 AM Re: Sorry-No politics. but do we have something to be aware of >Dear Dr, Ananda, > this is in continuation of the discussion going on >the subject . > for quite sometime i also believed that basically >all human beings are made up of more or less the same >--material and it is upto our own efforts of what we >can do and achieve till i heard few months back on tv >maharishi maheshyogi explaining how we are limited to >someextent in our evolution and growth by the >substance we inherit as DNA from our parents.The so >called vasanas are part of this. >Soil can be from marshy areas, foot of the hill with >lot of stones, sand from riverbed and clay.Basically >all this is " Mud " >But what we can make out from each type of mud is >determined by the intrinsic variations whithin itself. >In a subtle way it also partly explains our own >different capacities, physically, intellectually and >otherwise,and the different levels of understanding >the same subject by students in the same sitting . > >..In a yogic sense the fair trying to get the suntan >and the notsofair trying to look more fair are in the >same boat of " Becoming " , and not in tune with their >own reality' > Yoga is in being yourself now as you are with >awareness > Narasimhan. > _______________ http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca & page=byoa/prem & xAPID=1994 & DI=1034 & SU=http://\ hotmail.com/enca & HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
