Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Namaste all: I believe that vision relates to our daily experience. As Swami states: the 3 gunas, acting within relative time, are constantly revolving: new creation-Brahma, maintenance, Vishnu, then dissolution, Shiva. Just look at our thoughts in our mind: new thought-new idea, work to manifest it, then it is reabsorbed, and other rises to take its place. The 3 must always be in process for life to evolve, from the microcosm to the macrocosm they are constantly in motion, in play. We try to get them in balance, and maybe can succeed for some moments, but our goal is to transcend them, move into the Source, then come our refreshed and recharged. Thus our pujas, chanting, homas, etc., balanced with a live lived in the world, are the necessary tools to live a life of wholeness and harmony.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks Vish, I found a timely quote: Time is in the mind, space is in the mind. In reality time and space exist in you; you do not exist in them. They are modes of perception, but they are not the only ones. Time and space are like words written on paper; the paper is real, the words merely a convention. All existence is imaginary. -Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj William Mills seems to have connected into our group discussion! But I still do not understand the meaning of the horrifying vision. Or why Sri Ramakrishna should have had such a vision.
