Guest guest Posted August 23, 1999 Report Share Posted August 23, 1999 There is no path to truth, it must come to you. Truth can come to you only when your mind and heart are simple, clear, and there is love in your heart; not if your heart is filled with the things of the mind. When there is love in your heart, you do not talk about organizing for brotherhood; you do not talk about belief, you do not talk about division or the powers that create division, you need not seek reconciliation. Then you are simply a human being without a label, without a country. This means that you must strip yourself of all those things and allow truth to come into being; and it can come only when the mind is empty, when the mind ceases to create. Then it will come without your invitation. Then it will come as swiftly as the wind and unbeknown. It comes obscurely, not when you are watching, wanting. It is there as sudden as sunlight, as pure as the night; but to receive it, the heart must be full and the mind empty. Now you have the mind full and your heart empty.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 1999 Report Share Posted August 23, 1999 Dear Anurag, this is exactly what we need to do in a list with so many of different cultures, opinions, paths, and natures: our heart full, our mind clear and open. I especially like these parts: Then you are simply a human being without a label, without a country. Truth can come to you only when your mind and heart are simple, clear, and there is love in your heart; The Master himself, I believe, was the very embodiment of that clear, child-like openness to any and all paths to God -- Christian, Muslim, Hindu, God-with-form and God-beyond-form, the Mother and the Father! It is a blessing to be on this list, with so many who worship such beings as Ramakrishna, Holy Mother and Sw. Vivekananda. -- Karen Westend Ashram http://home.earthlink.net/~urbanashram Anurag Goel wrote: > Anurag Goel <anurag > > > There is no path to truth, > it must come to you.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 1999 Report Share Posted August 25, 1999 Shankar, You are very kind. I would like to add that Edith's commentary -- so brief but so VERY to the point -- " Be the witness " -- might just be the answer for this list when we experience contention and arguments.
