Guest guest Posted February 27, 2000 Report Share Posted February 27, 2000 Chapter 2, Verse 16 Swami Chetanananda It is through constant practice of yoga that the mind no longer clings to any object; and when objects cease to exist the mind vanishes into the Final Cause, shunning good and evil. Swami Ashokananda When through constant practice one's concentration becomes objectless, then, being divested of merits and demerits, one attains the state of complete dissolution in the Absolute through the dissolution of the object of concentration, but not before then.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2000 Report Share Posted February 29, 2000 I would not like to vanish into the Final Cause. I would like to play the game of this universe at full Cause, while not being attached to it. - EDTipple ramakrishna Sunday, February 27, 2000 4:50 PM [ramakrishna] AVADHUTA GITA EDTipple <edtipple Chapter 2, Verse 16 Swami Chetanananda It is through constant practice of yoga that the mind no longer clings to any object; and when objects cease to exist the mind vanishes into the Final Cause, shunning good and evil.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2000 Report Share Posted February 29, 2000 Only by vanishing in to full cause one will be able to play the game in full cause and without being attached to it.

Doesn't the term " I would like " (or " I would not like " ) indicate attachment? ______________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2000 Report Share Posted February 29, 2000 Very good. I think we understand each other. The words can be played with, but they are words only. - Anurag Goel <anurag <Ramakrishna > Tuesday, February 29, 2000 7:53 AM Re: [ramakrishna] AVADHUTA GITA > > Only by vanishing in to full cause one will be able to play the game in > full cause and without being attached to it. > > On Mon, 28 Feb 2000, vinaire wrote: > > > I would not like to vanish into the Final Cause.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2000 Report Share Posted February 29, 2000 Not necessarily. Krishna used the word " I " in Bhagvad Gita. That did not imply attachment. There seems to be a false datum that " I " means " ego. " What does " I " mean when you say, " I desire to be with God " ? - Dharam Dev Singh Ramakrishna Tuesday, February 29, 2000 9:01 AM Re: [ramakrishna] AVADHUTA GITA Dharam Dev Singh <DharamDev On Mon, 28 Feb 2000 22:02:33 -0500 " vinaire " <vinaire writes: > I would not like to vanish into the Final Cause.
