And Jesus said unto them, "And whom do you say that I am?"

 

They replied,"You are the eschatological manifestation of the ground of our

being, the ontological foundation of the context of our very selfhood

revealed."

 

And Jesus replied, "What?"

The mind creates all problems. By giving up all 'beliefs' and the

need for beliefs (surrendering), problems are ended.

When solutions aren't imagined possible, where did the problems go?

In fact, there are no problems at all...but in order to continue a

never-ending cycle, non-existent problems are created by the mind and

"solutions" are searched for.

Well, okay...hmmm. Yesterday I read a wonderful (sad also and

poignant) article in the latest issue of "Hinduism Today" about

efforts to assist those in the area of the terrible earthquakes. I

find it difficult to get into discussions over the use of words

(perhaps this is what is driving Tony's missives to the group).

Perhaps 50,000 people killed and 20 million people in 7,904 villages

being otherwise affected, is not a "problem" needing a "solution,"

but I am very glad that so many, of many faiths and persuasions have

rushed to their aid. Ammachi has personally sent many of her own

devotees, including medical teams from the hospitals she has built to

help the people of Kerala, where there have been almost no medical

facilities or treatment available. If "effort" is irrelevant, why do

those who become the saints and sages perform tapas? I will say

nothing more on this, except that if we are not part of the

"solution(s)" then we are part of the "problem(s)." Shanti ~ Linda
