You will have read about his Darshan with Ramana from Michael Bindl's excellent recent posting. Regards to all, Alan Om Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram > The personal is He. The impersonal is He. As personal He is with name and form. The entire, universe is He in the personal aspect. In the impersonal, He is without name and form, without attributes, beyond the range of intellect to understand, beyond words to describe. In the personal aspect, He is love, light, knowledge, power, peace, bliss, purity. > > Â - Swami Ramdas > Namaste, Ramdass yes but a bad explanation....'the impersonal is he'???? This indicates the opposite and is an indication of 'Being'..or Saguna Concept...........The ancients knew this and so coined Nir Guna or no gunas or attributes as the only way to talk---neti neti in the negative always otherwise the mind imagines some nirguna brahman with the attributes of the illusory saguna, which never happened. The ancients by their use of nir guna knew the mind had to let go of itself and all the theings it entertains.............. However it is true that on moksha and dropping the body, one's mind and body and loves and ideas are totally annihilated........Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
