Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 1) " Amelie " is a movie worth seeing. It really speaks a lot for the Oneness of all Life. And if we want to call angels to our aid, all we need to do is Be an Angel... 2) Whenever i read the statements made by Buddha Christ, Krishna, Shankara, (whew!) and Vivekananda(especially) it strikes me as being charged with power and no compromise. None of them ever said, 'you know perhaps i should tone down my banter a little, in case it hurts some individuals or posterity. " they never ever minced their words in the dire consequences of compromise, even though they knew that there are individuals who cannot stand such " harsh " words. i only bring this up for i have met several individuals who are just turned off by VIvekananda's words. When i first heard this from a lady, i was suprised, for me his words give me strength. But to her it shook her very foundations and she sought refuge in Ramakrishna. I do too, but i also seek out Vivekananda and The Mother when it suits me! My point is i suppose, is that these Souls cannot be accused of being insensitive. On the contrary...they were infinite pools of compassion and yet they were as " harsh " as they were. It can only mean that such words of directness are necessary for the benefit, for in the long run, these words will have an impact on all... I myself remember picking up Krishnamurthi not so long ago when i was only into Bhatki and it literally made me dizzy and scared... _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
