Why bother with meditation

[Guest guest]

Dear Tanmoy

 

" Why bother with meditation you asked...... " .

 

I think the answer is perhaps in the sutra sent by Tom

 

Excerpted from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna p.149

 

Saturday 27/11/99

 

The Master Said:

 

" All trouble and botheration comes to an end when the 'I' dies.

You may indulge in thousands of reasonings,

but still the 'I' doesn't disappear. For people like you and me,

it is good to have the feeling, 'I am a lover of God.' "

 

om tat sat

 

 

The utterings in Avadhuta come from one who has already attained Self

Knowlege

for the rest of us - we have to listen to Sri Ramakrishna - to try and

fathom the depth of this subject called spirituality.
