Може да се жинее в дуалността, без да се губи единството. Това означава да си жив.
Тази идея е в последното послание (писмо към всички регистрирани в сайта advaita.org) на Уейн Ликерман, където има и цитати от неиздавани неща на Рамеш, както и WORDS FROM THE HEART - поезия от последователи. Впрочем, всичките му послания могат да се намерят на сайта.
Та, като четях последното послание се сетих за тази тема и твоя постинг. Реших, че е тъкмо за теб.
Ето го:
"Where I often see people getting stuck in the Teaching is in the relationship between the Absolute and the relative. Obviously in daily life we have the relative, the dualistic in which there are polaric opposites...me and you, truth and falsehood, sickness and heath, good and bad. Yet what all the spiritual teachings are pointing at is Oneness beyond the dualistic. How often have you heard, "I am not somebody, I am That!" When taken from an imagined non-dual perspective the inevitable question is, “How can there be relative if its all One?”
That there can experientally be the appearance of the many without destroying the Wholeness is the incredible, beautiful paradox that is implicit in being alive.
Within dualistic experience there is the appearance of separation, an appearance of this and that even though inherently it is all One. Oneness can best be understood as the container for the dualistic. The polaric opposites are the building blocks that make up life. That is why I like the image of the Ocean (Source, God, Stillness, Oneness) and the waves (you, me, stars, quarks) so much. Within this image both exist simultaneously. There are billions of unique waves and yet all a wave is, is Ocean. A wave is nothing more and nothing less than an energetic movement of Ocean. Despite its appearance, a wave isn’t a moving packet of water. What we call a wave is simply a movement of energy through the Ocean. It doesn’t have any identifiable substance other than as a momentary shape of Ocean. So does a wave actually exist?
I think Ramana Maharshi answered it best, "It is as real as You are."
Освен това, препоръгмвам сатсанга с Mooji (където съм пуснала отделна тема). Там той обяснява безсмислеността на подобни практики на медитация. Има момче, което е било на випакана и с него разтоваря за подобни проблеми.
Той не отрича практиките, но те не водят директно до просветление, както очакват хората. Те обаче помагат умът да се успокои.
