Call of the Conch-Part 2: The Motherless Child.../Radhe-ji

[Guest guest]

Radhe-ji is a beautiful and a unique devotee of

Bhagavan and is an inspiration to all of us. Radhe-ji has been part of

the sangha for a long time and selflessly shares her Bhajans, articles,

and talents with us in ways too numerous to mention. She also helps

others by editing and uploading their articles on the luthar.com site

as needed. Radhe-ji a supportive friend and she is Bhagavan's gift to

us.

 

Currently, we have three moderators of the sangha. Alan-ji (Alan

Jacobs) is a long time chief moderator and Radhe-ji, Gabriele-ji, and

myself assist in it as well.

 

They always give wonderful counsel and on occasions when I make a

mistake, they gently correct me, which I deeply appreciate. I find them

to always be on the mark.

 

To have the devotees of Bhagavan as friends is such a gift that words

fail in the true expression of gratitude.

 

 

Lots of love

Harsha

how could i stay mad at pure devotion?

 

sometimes bhakti requires a bit of jnana

and vice a versa... both are equal, yes?

You are welcome, Rafe :-)

 

Take a close look at your posts to me, both the content and the

tone.

I do apologize if you saw my post

as dismissive.. .perhaps it was...

after all, you said your comment had

no relevance and so I chose

not to get into a wordy explanation/ discussion on it. I am not

a woman of many words, nor do I

incline towards wordy discussions

of what truth is or is not. I

apologize to you for that since it appears

I both hurt and angered you with my

comments.

 

I will be posting an article today

on the sattvic diet by Swami Sadasivananda. ..

the premise of my series is based

upon that.  If the tone of some of the

videos and my words also extend to

"saving the cows," that is fine with me.

Nothing is in my hands.  And you

are correct...my own sense of importance is

quite limited. I have not reached

the point of I AM...I still see myself as

a "part" of the I AM...I am quite

sure Ramana would have patted me on

the head and sent me back to my

village to worship the Lord...that is

my truth!!!  Hope 'you' won't stay

mad at 'me' ....

 

Love,

 

Radhe

what floats 'my' boat is truth

if truth inspires an interest in saving cows

then this is true

 

but to project this truth onto life

as important beyond your own sense of importance

is missing a deeper truth in 'my' view

 

i like yosy's approach and feel we can both learn from

the lightness and wisdom of his story

 

i am only interested in honest interaction

based on respect and allowance even in 'disagreement'

 

so the dismissive reply you gave me only causes 'me' to

access deeper compassion and so i am grateful to you for that

 

thank you Radhe

Whatever floats your spiritual

boat :-)

 

I admit that I sensed a

certain sarcasm in your

comment, but chose to ignore it

and assume

that you meant what you wrote.

That said, I will

carry on and you can do the same.

Radhe,

 

the comment no longer has relevance

it rose in the context of the moment

in hindsight i might say i was trying to express humor on

one level

and provide an insight about equality of all beings as

consciousness

 

my focus is that forms change and go thru specific conditions

but nothing dies, and no violence happens outside will of

Supreme Causality

 

that said

if you are moved in your heart about the cows

this too is Supreme action and true

 

i encourage you to follow your heart's truth

 

as for 'me'

i am not so interested in these subjects at the moment

pardon my lack of interest

love

Dear Rafeji:

 

I am sorry to have missed this

issue and hope you will

accept my apology.  I do not

believe it is our lack of decency

which fuels our failure to

notice, but our ignorance of the

issue.  That is the main point

of this series of articles,

to help us look at this issue

from the standpoint of ahimsa.

I honestly never thought about

ants living in the cows' hair

and this is the first time this

has been raised as an issue.

If you would like to elaborate

on it, please do.

 

In His Service,

 

Radhe

i am concerned for the killing of the ants that live in

the cows hair

much violence is being committed to these ants and we

don't even

have the decency to discuss the ants or notice their death

Dearest RADHE

 

tku for your holy and LIFESPONSORING

contribution

finally their is some movement in this

direction in our Sangha - which usually resembles  sometimes more like

a highly-"spiritual" chat-club than a exchange forum of matters of real

LIFE. But this perfect in the mode of our socalled modern and civilized

world. Look around everywhere, in eacht person and country, and you

will see this mode....

I wonder how long it will take mankind to

discover why this is this way.

Radhe - am sure that you one of the few

knows that EGGS are the some product of lifeabusing humanity.

 

In gratitude

 

 

yours in Bhagavan

We need to realize that milk is not an

“Innocentâ€

animal product as it is thought to be, but is a

highly violent, cruel, and immensely exploitative food.

The most important factor in cow abuse is the economic factor ;

we need to realize that as long as we, the consumers

of milk and leather, continue to buy these violent products,

the exploitation of the cow and the killing of her calves

will continue to occur. ~Shri Kamlesh
