Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Om Namah Sivaya Sri Ramakrishna’s saying: “Why shouldn’t a man be able to realize the formless Brahman? But it is extremely difficult. He cannot if he has even the slightest trace of worldliness. He can be directly aware of Brahman in his inmost consciousness only when he renounces all sense-objects – form, taste, smell, touch, and sound and only when his mind completely stops functioning. And then, too, he knows only this much of Brahman – that It exists.” Tirumantirum (verse 140): Seek His Grace, the Senses Get Controlled Surely then the senses five under your control come, Surely then the senses five back to their native homes retreat Surely then the senses five turn inward When the soul meets the Lord. Tirukural: (354)All Knowledge acquired through the five senses is worthless to those without knowledge of Truth. _________ Messenger - NEW crystal clear PC to PC calling worldwide with voicemail http://uk.messenger.
