Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hello In the Group MillionPaths, there is a post with the title Absolute Consciousness, It is a Quotation from the Talks of Sri Ramana Maharshi. I posted a reply for that quotation, here is the reply Absolute Consciousness and the Natural State. He who -as a child- has not experienced his daily life through the Love showering on him from his mother, and does not value this experience, will never understand anything and will never taste egolessness. He who - as a child - while holding his mother's hand did not lose himself absolutely in the experience of daily life, will never ever experience the factual living Absolute Consciousness, not the theoretical absolute consciousness -that could not be experienced. With your mother holding your hand, your ego is no more; you are in a state of surrender without A center and your true being is freed to watch and witness What is taking place in the experience you are in now? What is experienced in this Experience is the absolute consciousness, or unconditioned or unlimited Consciousness because there is no ego to make it relative or to condition or to limit. Why it is designated Absolute Consciousness? It is called so because it is the first thing that man becomes Conscious of –as a child- the moment he is born. The artificial separation of Consciousness and its contents Did not yet happen because there is still no ego To put conditions or the description of in and out. The Experience is ONE WHOLE CONSCIOUSNESS WITHOUTOUT ANY CENTER TO CLAIM IT. What the child is Conscious of had been there since whenever, And will remain there till whenever even after the disintegration Of the body of the child because this consciousness is not yet Centered in the body of the child by the created ego and its claims Of owning that body and that consciousness. This Experience is SELF MENTAINED and SELF RELAYANT This Experience is Cognizant and Caring of ITSELF, IT directs The mother to nurse the child, While the child is unaware of a mother The child only Experiences two modes Comfort and discomfort When discomfort occurs -hunger or cold- it is immediately Relieved by the " mother " so that Comfort is re-established Once more, all the child needs are answered without him Asking anything. Now, since there is an Experience in man's life That could be called absolute consciousness, or the Natural Experience (Sahaja State), man can now regain it back. mourad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
