Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 prof laxmi narain (prof_narain) Source and courtesy: Sri Ramana Kendram, Hyderabad This article was published in Sri Ramana Jyothi, monthly magazine of the Kendram. THE URGE TO ACCUMULATE OBSTRACTS LIBERATION: The nature of the mind is always to accumulate. Mind is a gatherer, always wanting to gather something. With the gathering you may make a living. With this gathering, may be you can enhance the physical quality of life around you; but this gathering – it does not matter how much you gather – is incapable of liberating you, taking you closer to your Ultimate Nature. It does not matter what you accumulate; the constant need to accumulate shows that there is insufficiency. Grace cannot descend on you till you are empty and have got rid of your habit to accumulate, including the habit to acquire knowledge and wisdom. If one brings sufficient awareness, then through constant sadhana the vessel becomes totally empty. Awareness empties the vessel, sadhana cleans it. If you become empty enough for the Grace to descend, then Realisation is not far away; it is here to be experienced. – Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev Enlightenment is our ego's biggest disappointment. – Swami Yogananda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
