yesterday I attended your Satsang. Ver...Dear Edji,<br /><br />yesterday I attended your Satsang. Very nice! I'll be back. I understand now much better your perspective and where you're comming from. I like it very much. <br /><br />It seems to me that there are two different and irreconcilable spiritual destinations, aims, goals: love (tasting the sugar) and liberation FROM love (being the sugar). The Advaita Sages - including Robert, Ramana, Nisargadatta - aimed for the latter, while others opted for the former.<br /><br />The Advaita sages (like Nisargadatta) seem to say that love (equated with the I AM, maya) will burn itself out and the aspirant will merge with Parabrahman, but this may only be true for a few; others may be able to love on forever! <br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Abe<br /><br />P.S.<br /><br />How to attain Para Bhakti (Divine Love) by Swami Mukundananda - 3/6 <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6kv3ycukU4<br /><br />Those who run after liberation (mukti) - what is the Sadhana? You stop thinking, stop thinking, stop thinking, stop thinking. All they do is to meditate on the formless aspect of God - "I am God, I am God, I am God." When they leave their body, if they attain perfection in their sadhana, once they leave their body they go and merge into the effulgence of God called the brahma jyoti (Divine Presence). That was their goal: how can I become one with God? The soul goes and merges into the brahma jyoti and it remains there forever. Now they become devoid of the bliss of seeing God, the blis of relishing his Divine pasttimes, the bliss of serving him.<br /><br />The person who has merged into God is now devoid of the bliss of God. So the bliss of God is experienced not in advait(a) but in dvait(a). <br /><br />These souls - the God-realized saints - they retain their individual personality to relish the bliss of Divine Love. <br /><br />Those that run after liberation - "too much pain, too much pain" - get liberated. They have become devoid of [Divine Love] forever. <br /><br />That is why the bhakti saints say: "This desire for liberation is the biggest danger. Stay away from it." <br /><br />"This desire for liberation is like hell."<br /><br />"The biggest fault on this path will be to desire or to embrace liberation."<br /><br />"Those souls who have understood from their <br />Guru ... look on liberation as a witch."<br /><br />"That person who considers liberation to be like a witch and runs away from it will get prem ras (Divine Love)."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-7718323595232568092013-11-09T04:01:28.052-08:002013-11-09T04:01:28.052-08:00This is as clear as it gets.
