Guest guest Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Steve, The interesting thing about this whole use of the term "place" is that it sort of demonstrates the interrelationship between the outer and the inner without explicitly doing so. Place describes a physical location. The verse contradicts itself on a purely physical level, so we look for a more subtle perspective that synthesizes. When we finally decide that "confusing place" referrs to a mental state, still, we are brought by the word "place" back to the physical, where we can see that any mental "confusion" must be caused by an attachment or aversion to something outside - to a "place". The confusion is not necessarily inherent in a particular "place" - but it is inextricably connected to a condition or conditions "outside". Jai Maa!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 absolutely. we think there is an outer and an inner, but that is all an attribute of this infinity we call mind. it is also the infinity we call world. the chandi does not make those distinctions, as it similarly does not distinguish between the personal and the infinite guru. so it helps us step past those limitations of our conceptual thinking. , "Chris Kirner" <chriskirner1956> wrote: > Steve, > > The interesting thing about this whole use of the term "place" is that > it sort of demonstrates the interrelationship between the outer and > the inner without explicitly doing so. > > Place describes a physical location.
