I am almost sure this woman is still alive and has chelas around her. It's ecstasy and omnipresence. I believe she likes the water.
No doubt your faith and that recognition has brought her council when it is needed. And this gratitude has created this important thread you decided to start.
Thanks Steve.
What an amazing woman.
Yea I believe she has correctly defined our differences and their source. That is the greatness of a guru. They’re timeless wisdom may become available at any time that a devotee is in tune and sees answers to the riddles and paradoxes that face him or he, and their friends, when they seek answers to the unfolding scenes of life. We often have difficulties playing our roles, where we forget or do not understand, our parts we have been assigned to play.
SRI MA: At least you have understood that there is a state, ’where’ problems are no longer settled in any particular way. In the course of your life you have after careful consideration come to a decision on many questions, have you not? But now you will have to realize that no solution is ever conclusive; in other words, you will have to go beyond the level where there is certainty and uncertainty. The resolution of a problem arrived at by the mind must of necessity be from a particular point of view; consequently there will he room for contradiction, since your solution represents but one aspect. What then have you actually solved? You will find a complete and final solution of each particular question from its own particular angle of emergence; and you will also find that there is a place where all problems (actual and possible) have but one universal solution, in which there is no longer any room left for contradiction. The question of solution or non-solution will then cease to arise: whether one says ‘yes’ or ‘no’, - everything is THAT.
It is somewhat like a zen koan. The answer comes with the recognition of what “THAT” is. “THAT” is why I continue to contemplate the statement she has made. All I’m able to say so far is the answer which attempts to satisfy my rationale mind, is that each different view represents a piece of a puzzle 🧩. A puzzle in which we are attempting to recognize the picture provided for the view of “That”. “That” picture, which shows enough parts so we have found our peace in the total view.
