Gopi KrishnaPosted by: "Michael Bindel" michael.bindel michael_bindel Mon Sep 7, 2009 6:52 am (PDT) Dear Gopi Krishna after reading and rereading your contribution: wonderful work done thank you so much for answering the question michael put to the Sangha, because this questions touches the core of "the matter" Due to my manyfold experiences in decades with people all over who looked for "being happy", wanting to "change" their lives, wanting to find "TRUTH" and so and discovering that most, nearly all of them, wanted just to find an easier way out of the labyrinth of their life, nearly never commiting themselves fully to their "search". The same i found i so many who use advaita as a signpost instead of looking to the "moon". So i keep asking all concerned how do you put your search in practical terms in life from moment to moment... and here there is a big big silence Your answer is really to the point - congratulations. There remains a question mark regarding your last statement: The understanding and truth that "I am the Self and NOT THIS BODY" should not lead to arguments, but make one to understand the depth of it so that one deals with others as one deals with oneself. That is the true understanding and approach of Advaita. And who of us deals with himself as heshe should - according to Advaita? Knowing that we are the SELF and nothing else - in a world full of those, who believe their egosuffering is all what is.... So each of us should give hisher best to live his life according to hisher INNER BELIEF i prefer to state my inner knowledge because this INNER knowledge should and must be free of any doubt but this is only possible for those of us who have been struggling suffering etc thru ages - who understand the luggagge of "past", integrated the lessons learned from "past" into their present being only those can communicate like you stated on a personal level in the dual world, rooted themselves in nonduality. Hoping it was able to communicate what michael ment in GD michael TRUSTS UNCONDITIONALLY michael - Gopi Krishna Cc: michael.bindel@ t-online. hu Monday, September 07, 2009 6:38 AM to all concerned Dear All, Let me add, my two cents of confusion or understanding of Advaita while involving ourselves physically in the activities of this world, which is apparently an illusion. In fact, this world is not an illusion as such, but unless we think so, we get attached to it and that is the reason, we need to keep in mind that all these changes in the apparent world outside is perishable and the only non-perishable thing is Self or Soul or Atman or Brahman, as the case may be. Now coming to the point in view, we all know that none of us is going to survive on this earth beyond a point. We all have to leave behind everything that we think ours. But, what really ours is nothing. When nothing is ours, why all these attachments, ego-centric approaches like shouting at others on disagreement or difference of opinion and dub such a behaviour on karma, etc. It means, there is something wrong somewhere in our understanding. That is the reason, Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharshi says live an Advaita life inwardly but outwardly lead a dwaita life, as this materialistic world does not understand and appreciate the Advaita way of life. I fully agree with expressions of Alan Jacob with all love and respects. Love and Love alone..... P. Gopi Krishna Love Cricket? Check out live scores, photos, video highlights and more.
