Guest guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Dear Peter and everyone: The following excerpt from The " Talks " reminds us how simple, beautiful, and eloquent the practical teaching of Bhagavan is. I know there are many wonderful commentator and commentaries but the original is what I grew up with. There is substitute for that.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 :-). I meant to say, there is no substitute for Bhagavan's original teaching. Sorry for the typo.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 The modes of mind take shape as external objects and the light reflected on the modes illumines the objects. Now neglecting the modes of mind, look for the light illumining them. The undulating mind (i.e., the mind associated with rajas = activity and tamas = darkness) is commonly known as the mind. Devoid of rajas and tamas, it is pure and selfshining. This is Self-Realisation. Therefore the mind is said to be the means for it.
