Guest guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 R A F E your effort is most welcomed and am thankful p l e a s e try to find for yourself!!! a down to earth approach to this question why Sadguru Sri Ramana Maharshi said (in my words of course) NONDUALITY HAS TO BE LIVED INTERNALLY NOT EXTERNALLY WHY please try "better" to find an answer to this and Rafe - following my "intuition" put this question to your dear wife she is blessed....... and she lives with you... and she absorbs you.... go ahead and give a try in GD michael TRUSTS absolutely michael - Rafe Stoneman Friday, September 04, 2009 9:17 PM Re: to all concerned there is no one set answer that can be given... to each the Self reveals Divine Purpose which can not be conferred or validated by another when I trimmed trees, I was a tree trimmer when I was in the Army, I was a soldier when I go to college, I am a student when I am with my kids, I am a father throughout all of these conditions, I am Self But alas, for the shining supreme Self without attributes who can dictate policy... If there was any doubt in young Venkataraman's mind about quitting school and abandoning home at the age of 16... that doubt would be attributed to his Prabaradha karma but alas, all doubts were schewed and so we are here on satsang because of His Grace and veiless action But His life is only relevant so as we may live our true life beyond the circumstances while in them and free from creating new cravings for experience in time... Forgive the spelling errors, and Michael, I did my best to keep it practical and simple... but the fingers took over and what comes comes... who is there to edit? The rider of Yosi's dead donkey- Rafael, Rafe, Mr. Stoneman, or just plain Ass...

Self seems disinterested in any strange, crazy examples of non dual, realization. .. but as Ramesh pointed to... appearances can be quite deceptive... mind never really needs to concern itself with behavior in the end, as Self generates on its own all demonstrations in accordance with Its own nature... just as we don't 'choose' to be Gurus... people decided to make Ramana a Guru... He never sought any attention... Self was simply compassionate enough to live amongst others in such a natural way...

Michael Bindel <michael.bindel@ t-online. hu>Friday, September 4, 2009 8:14:46 AM to all concerned Please explain as down to earth as possible what is meant with outword behaviour must conform with the best standards of the society into which we are placed because everything on earth said written spoken is sooo easily misinterepreted in Sri Ramana Maharshi michael Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 8.5.409 / Virus Database: 270.13.76/2345 - Release 09/04/09 05:51:00 Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 8.5.409 / Virus Database: 270.13.76/2345 - Release 09/04/09 05:51:00 Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 8.5.409 / Virus Database: 270.13.77/2346 - Release 09/04/09 17:51:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
