Guest guest Posted September 9, 1999 Report Share Posted September 9, 1999 Sri Nisargadtta: "Words are valuable for between the word and its meaning there is a link and if one investigates the word assiduously, one crosses beyond the concept into the experience at the root of it. As a matter of fact, such repeated attempts to go beyond the words is what is called meditation. Sadhana is but a persistent attempt to cross over from the verbal to the non-verbal." "Be satisfied with watching the flow of your life; if your watchfulness is deep and steady, ever turned towards the source, it will gradually move upstream till suddenly it becomes the source. Put your awareness to work, not your mind. The mind is not the right instrument for this task." "What you need for your salvation is already within your reach. Use it. Investigate what you know to its very end and you will reach the unknown layers of your being. Go further and the unexpected will explode in you and shatter all. [Questioner: Does it mean death?] It means life - at last." David Hodges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 1999 Report Share Posted September 10, 1999 This is quite wonderful. I have been reading "I am That" continuously since it came into my possession through a friend almost two years ago. It has deeply changed the nature and focus of my practice. He was a remarkable man. --- David Hodges <dhodges wrote: > David Hodges <dhodges > > Sri Nisargadtta: > > "Words are valuable for between the word and its > meaning there is a link > and if one investigates the word assiduously, one > crosses beyond the > concept into the experience at the root of it.
