Re:_Swami_Vivekananda’s_Passing_Away:_A_New_Finding

[Guest guest]

Sunil,

They were human beings after all.Its only in the highest state of meditation

does ego vanish, but on normal plane ego always remains, and its natural to feel

remorse. When Thakur was about to pass away His most distiniguished disciple

Naren was full in tears, but as such by then he was an advanced yogi who had

even experienced the highest form of samadhi ..........

Again not all advanced yogis can reach Nirvikalpa.Even if they reach that state

they cannot come down to normal plane and normally do not live physically so as

to say.I think Shri Ramakrishana had talked abt this state many times .However

extremely rare persons like Sri Ramakrishna , can come back to normal plane and

live with other people.This they do by retaining a part of their ego.Thus though

yogis like Swami Brahmananda etc were very advanced, yet at that point of time

they were in normal plane of consciousness where " Ego " is retained.At that state

it is very natural to feel sad and similar human emotions ....

Hello,

 

In this article, the author says that Swami Brahmananda and others

were distraught when Swamiji passed away. But, they were realized

souls and knew that he just left the body isn't it? Why were they in

distress inspite of it?

 

regards,
