Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Om Sri Sathya Sai Ganeshaaya Namaha! Sairam to Sai Family ! Embodiments of Love ! 1) People say " Idi naa dehamu " (this is my body), very casually. But people well-versed in Sanskrit language would interpret the expression " naa dehamu " (my body) in a different way. They explain that " na " means " not " based upon the literal meaning and conclude that " naa dehamu " means " I am not the body. " Similarly the Telugu expression " naa manasu " (my mind) can be interpreted as " I am not the mind. " The same is the case with buddhi (intellect). 2) The sum and substance of all these expressions is, " I am not the body, I am not the mind, I am not the buddhi (intellect). etc. " In the same logic, one has to maintain a state of perfect equanimity unaffected by pain and pleasure at all time affirming, " these sorrows and difficulties as well as happiness and pleasure are not mine. I am beyond these dualities. " 1.1.2009 - Divine Discourse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
