Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Om Namah Sivaya Sri Ramakrishna’s saying: “God is directly perceived by the mind, but not by this ordinary mind. It is the pure mind that perceives God, and at that time this ordinary mind does not function. A mind that has the slightest trace of attachment to the world cannot be called pure. When all the impurities of the mind are removed, you may call that mind Pure Mind or Pure Atman.” Tirumantirum (verse 2617): Perish not in the Flood of Pleasure and Pain Unto the ocean that foams and ragesAt full-moon tide,Many, many, floods rose and passed awayThrough passage of Time;Caught in floods of pleasure and pain,Celestials numberless perished;Caught in the floods of desiresThe humans countless sank;God alone forever stoodIn the Ocean of Bliss Eternal. Bhagavad Gita(VI.6. ): The self is the friend of the self for him who has conquered himself by the Self, but to the unconquered self, this self stands in the position of an enemy like the (external) foe.
