Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Thank you Alan for the most inspiring poem. All is very well! Each corner of the world is lit See ignorance, the sum of it, feeding to a mighty weight Oh single stream alone, you set it straight Escape a falling into hell: All is very well! In multitude, this race, experience and mind A beatitude; Blessed are the pure in heart Coming home, who does the seeker find? In silence and by Grace. Here is the unstruck bell: For keeping, nothing but a count of this; Each pain and gain, falling into Bliss What may that number be? Like the empty sky, to see. 'i' is gone, work is done. It’s truly true. Who is here to tell: All is very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Dear All , All is very well .. it is only the EGO that spreads sickness and suffering.. Yet it is like a leech with which we cannot disassociate just like that. With HIS GRACE and lots of patience from our side .. this EGO can be killed " softly " and gradually. Wishing the very best for every one in the Sangha. love ramesh --- On Sat, 6/6/09, Alan Jacobs <alanadamsjacobs wrote: Alan Jacobs <alanadamsjacobsRe: All is very well Date: Saturday, June 6, 2009, 6:05 AM Dear Alan, Thank you for your poem too which I like very much indeed.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Not really to begin with a definition of the ego again... I do believe the negative 'conceptualisation' could be most useful if actually used, but only for the moment. What is interesting is not a defining at all. Beginning two years ago, I have had what could be described as an assignment on this matter, here comes one way to see/say it: From periods of transparency (even in a busy mind, there are many , the point of observation is (already) established. As the mind is always ready to go, even early and subtle movements may be caught. This way there is no fooling oneself neither to the better nor the worse. I really like this excerpt so here's a repetition. Alan Excerpt from 'Conscious Immortality'- Conversations with Ramana " A jnani crushes the ego at its source. It rises up again and again, for him too as for the ignorant, impelled by nature, ie,parabdha. Both in the ignorant and in the jnani , ego sprouts, but with this difference: the former's ego is quite ignorant of it's source, and is not aware of it's deep sleep in the dream and waking states. On the other hand, when the jnani's ego rises, he enjoys his transcendental experience with his ego, keeping his focus always on it's source. His ego is not dangerous- it is only the ash-skeleton of a burnt rope: although it possesses a form it is ineffective. By constantly keeping our focus on our source, our ego is dissolved.
