Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 understood... what is neccessary for me is to trust implicity in every moment that which is rising on the screen, that it is not for me to claim or reject... that it is put there by the Self with purpose... often a purpose that is never revealed... such is the nature of desireless action... in one way in this new moment i could look at it as just what the devotee does... Sri Ramana composed letters to Arunachala from the stanpoint of wanting Grace, when he was already That Part of the love affair between Guru and devotee, Eternal Self and Humanity is to play out these dynamics which seem to be a paradox Blessings In Ramana , " Michael Bindel " <michael.bindel wrote: > > Peace be with you RAFAEL STONEMAN > > thank you for your sharing > > .....is it really necessary to ask for compassion and not to be forsaken by our SADGURU??? > > for michael this is NATURALLY given if we completely surrender to IT meaning that not even " fear " " wishes " remain > following this the little i dies naturally and with it the normal belief that we are the doer > > all the best > > > in SRI RAMANA MAHARSHI > > michael > > > - > rafaelstoneman > > Thursday, July 09, 2009 12:20 AM > Without Your Grace i will surely drown > > > > > > Ramana, > > Why do i feel disgusted when someone utters the name of another teacher? > > I have been bowing to You for as long as i can recall. > > Yet You tell me to find the I that is bowing. > > With two legged stride, I alternate from inquiry and devotion, > > You remind me that i have already surrendered. > > Yet in this moment, some sense of separateness continues to prevade me. > > Did You not experience this when surrending to Arunachala? > > How then can You forsake me? > > Have compassion on this me that wants to dissolve. > > I have come to swim in Your Ocean but without Your Grace, > > I will surely drown. > > > > > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 8.5.375 / Virus Database: 270.13.8/2224 - Release 07/08/09 05:53:00 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 thank you very much for this... i lent the book that contains these to the mother of a son's friend... so haven't read in sometime... used to cling to these when i first came to Ramana... they are so potent, one can feel the thirst for liberation yours in Ramana, rafael , " pitrinamnamaha " <TatTwamAsi wrote: > > Om Arunchaleswaraya Namaha > > Sri Arunachala Aksharamanamalai > The Marital Garland of Letters > http://www.arunachala-ramana.org/music/arunsiva.htm > > All Love in His Grace, > Trina > > , " rafaelstoneman " <rafaelstoneman@> wrote: > > > > Ramana, > > > > Why do i feel disgusted when someone utters the name of another teacher? > > > > I have been bowing to You for as long as i can recall. > > > > Yet You tell me to find the I that is bowing. > > > > With two legged stride, I alternate from inquiry and devotion, > > > > You remind me that i have already surrendered. > > > > Yet in this moment, some sense of separateness continues to prevade me. > > > > Did You not experience this when surrending to Arunachala? > > > > How then can You forsake me? > > > > Have compassion on this me that wants to dissolve. > > > > I have come to swim in Your Ocean but without Your Grace, > > > > I will surely drown. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
