Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Dear Warwick, did you enjoy your coffee in your coffeehouse? Enjoy it as much as possible. Is there a reason why you mail from this coffeeshop? During the last days many times you appeared in "me" - not only in "mind" I know the difference.... So there is "something" between "you" and "me" going on..... Regarding your question, how I live what I know I cannot state it better like the following "looking back" at this existence I see a clear "red line" whats all about for "me".... from the beginning: nowhere to find HOME BELONGING and the burning question why why why to me then looking for love everywhere just not inside myself so "I" reached home finally in GD found LOVE in myself and in my wonderful wife - much younger and much wiser than me!!!! - and in our son. So HOME LOVE is found but before there was the "inbornknowledge" there is GD and everything will be "fine" somehow someday. It is fine because I am blessed with real LOVE I learned to love unconditionally to BE and due to karmic processes and for "me" logical learning process I got rid of everything "material" this of course led to bad consciensce regarding my "responsibilit" being "a loving husband and father" and all the normal stuff we are brought up with LETTING GO I learne too Today I told my wife look thank to you I got rid off newslistening nearly hour by hour - a "bad habit" by consciuous "jews" (we have to know whats going on to be ready to flee not to be murdered....) and look how easy it was and how good it is for "me" somehow it come into my "mind" it will be the same getting lost of my "ego" and I am sure it will be like this my daily life is confined to the mill of karma nowadays, withstanding the mind the fear the inferiority complexes and all nasty things I am surrounded with... but I manage and the wonderful thing about it nearly everything came to me "by myself" and only afterwards thru books.... My great LOVE is the LOVE in itself what is for me GD or GOD RAMANA and my wife please you might start laughing aloud as much as you want.... for me thats all the same......... thank you Harsha Tony and so many others.... I am on my way to get loose of EGO of the feeling being "responsible" being the "actor" I did completely surrender everything to the Almighty and of course dear friend for me there was never the question that everyone has the same right to live like i live I was educated by my mother everyone is your brother and at the same time being spat at now I understand it only my fear led me to make distinction between good and bad and the urge to belong somewhere now I belong to LOVE and thats all what is come what may I am ready I live moment for moment trying to be centered in the "heart" to be silent to listen to the SELF and being ready to share my love with everyone who wants it and finally in my old days I start being quit to wait till somebody asks me.... Sorry Warwick better I could not state what I am experiencing.... .....and radiating CONFIDENCE IN LOVE GD........ and having learned the message from MARIFA transmitting LOVE without wanting to change anything anymore..... in due respect gratefulness and LOVE yours Michael Bindel - Warwick Wakefield Wednesday, May 26, 2004 2:08 PM Re: (unknown) - skiplaurel This morning quietness is full of inner movement. The birds of thought are chirping--seeking to be fed by Mother Mind. I think of Warwick at the coffee shop and Michael busy putting things together in his own way. This satsang is as busy as a bee. Dragonflies of doubt and hummingbirds of hope pollinate our inner beings. To gather honey and nectar is inevitable, as are a few stings along the way.I woke up at 4:30 and couldd not get back to sleep. Bob was awake and we lay there together for a while before I heard his snores take up again. The two of us are on the part of the path that is rocky and steep. Every day we have prayer together and spend lots of time apart as well. We watch different TV shows and take walks alone. Last night I saw a bluebird flying right in front of me. I smelled the grass and honeysuckle. The South is redolent with magnolia now.To call on the Divine Indifference is tricky for me. Vicki dearest, I think that indifference is not the right word. I cannot speak for God, but we love you, so how could God not love you? What I love about you as much as anything is your desire for truth-whatever-it-may-be. You ARE truth, and truth attracts truth. Francis Lucille once said that if a seeker who is passionate for truth comes to false teacher, the seeker's passion for truth would force the false teacher to speak truth. I forgot to mention, in my note to Michael, that it sometimes happens, in the Spanish cafe, that when I turn inwards to investigate whether it is true, what is written, I find not the transpanency of pure consciousness; I find great inner turmoil. Sometimes, when I allow that turmoil to come into focus, (because I too have a love for truth-whatever-it-may-be) I find a wave of sadness, or anguish, that swamps all of my rationality, and I bury my head in my hand and weep. Often I have no idea of the origin, and I don't care. Often, if I am reading poetry to the woman I love, my voice crumbles and my face crumples and my whole body shakes with the upwelling of something I don't understand. Sadness is good. Sadness, and the surrender to sadness, provided it is not simply self-pity, is as holy as the laughter of children. Vicki, to my ordinary and inexpert eye, it seems like your great honesty, and your desire to know the truth at any cost, is a gift of Grace, the guiding light that God has given you to come home to Her. Very much love Warwick I am emotionally passionate and quite obstinate about my desire for solitude. I fear some things cannot be changed. I love the silence and fear the social isolation that it brings. Honesty is part of my spiritual work; to spill the beans to one and all. I am not easy to live with. That because I am intense and bounded. These boundaries both protect me and isolate me. The walls will fall; it is just a matter of time.I ask for the help of the sangha in being strong enough to handle my life. To take my hands off and let what be, be. To surrender to the flow of life and let others touch me with their wisdom and kindness. May this be a blessed day for all who seek to know the truth.Vicki**************************************************************** Dearest Vicki, /join "Love itself is the actual form of God."Sri RamanaIn "Letters from Sri Ramanasramam" by Suri Nagamma Sponsor LinksTo visit your group on the web, go to:/ To from this group, send an email to: Your use of Groups is subject to the /join "Love itself is the actual form of God."Sri RamanaIn "Letters from Sri Ramanasramam" by Suri Nagamma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that you have been a searching, restless soul all your life. Many are restless but not all the restless ones carry out such a determined search as you. Well, let us all take heart from Jesus: "Seek and ye shall find." Very much love Warwick. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Hi Michael, I don't remember that we were very often together writing to this list or others... I always saw your name appear in such nice contexts though. May we all and always discover and rediscover each other and our selves in the light of divine love... Along the lines of one of Ramana's sayings, isn't love the stuff God consists of, isn't love the stuff we are made out of?

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Dear Brij, Can we really practice "treating the entire world as part of me"? I haven't found Ramana preaching that either. It is not a case of practice, but a case of self-enquiry whenever any Vasana/Sanskar arises within. Regards Sachin ---- brij sachdeva 04/01/06 10:32:05 RamanaMaharshi [RamanaMaharshi] (unknown) Will some one in the group tell me how to survive in this world while following his teaching in practice of treating the entirwe world as part of uou since there is no other but the self New Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Dear Brij, I remmember a story said by one master. The story goes, lets say that a scientist figures out that the world is nothing but energy; now he knows people, animals, food, objects are nothing but different forms of the same energy. So, he has found the common source for all things. Now, when he gets hungry and goes to a hotel, will he ask for a specific food item or will he say give me two energy; since even food is energy. If he does so, then he will be considered mad. He should ask for the food item and should be internally aware that it is nothing but energy. Similarly, when Baghavan says the entire world is nothing but you; that is a truth that you need to realize (not understand intellectually). Then you continue to lead the normal life as naturally as you did before such realization. Its a realization that we need to keep it to ourself and there is no need for any modification in our lifestyle or publicity in any way to show such a realization has happened. If we still feel a lifestyle modification or publicity is required than we have not really understood Baghavan Ramana. Hope this helps.
