Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 We see the manifestation of this sort of renunciation, although more or less in the form of caricatures, every day around us. A man begins to love a woman; after a while he loves another, and the first woman he lets go. She drops out of his mind smoothly, gently, without his feeling the want of her at all. A woman loves a man; she then begins to love another man, and the first one drops off from her mind quite naturally. A man loves his own city, then he begins to love his country, and the intense love for his little city drops off smoothly, naturally. Again, a man learns to love the whole world; his love for his country, his intense, fanatical patriotism drops off without hurting him, without any manifestation of violence.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Why do all these Email postings from Ananta come with an attachment, which duplicates, in smaller form, the photograph of Swamiji? If it's in the EMail, surely there's no need to have an attachment? I'm not "getting" at Ananta here, and apologize if it seems I am doing so! I just think it's unnecessary . . .but then, I might be wrong!! Robert Ps: I DO appreciate these quotes Ananta sends - I look forward to them, and try to think about them all day. - Ananta Monday, November 10, 2003 10:46 AM [sri Ramakrishna] Vivekananda mailing List-11/10/03 We see the manifestation of this sort of renunciation, although more or less in the form of caricatures, every day around us.

Dear Robert, Several months ago someone suggested that Ananta should somehow identify who wrote the quotes that were being posted. If you will notice, other than the picture of Swamiji, nothing actually identifies the fact that these are his writings. After the suggestion Ananta sometimes used the graphic of Swamiji to achieve the identification.
