Guest guest Posted July 2, 2000 Report Share Posted July 2, 2000 A NET of JEWELS daily meditations for seekers of Truth RAMESH S. BALSEKAR http://www.advaita.org July 2 Once there is a clear apprehension that an individual human being is an inseparable part of the totality of phenomenal manifestation and that he cannot pull himself out of the totality as an independent and autonomous entity, man naturally ceases to have personal intentions. When he is convinced that living is a sort of dreaming in which he cannot have any effective control either over his circumstances or his actions therein, all his tensions cease, and a sense of total freedom takes over. He then willingly and freely accepts whatever comes his way within the totality of functioning that this dream-life is. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The guru's instruction necessarily points towards Truth from within the ambit of conceptualization and time, but its realization by the disciple cannot be other than noumenal and therefore spontaneous, instantaneous and totally outside of conceptualization and time. ********* am·bit (am'bit) n. An external boundary; a circuit. Sphere or scope. See Synonyms at range. ambit noun A line around a closed figure or area : circuit, circumference, compass, perimeter, periphery. An area within which something or someone exists, acts, or has influence or power : compass, extension, extent, orbit, purview, range, reach, realm, scope, sphere, sweep, swing.
