Now that's real enlightenment, right ? ;-) > The update in my path here is My Guru said there are 5 that have unfolded in Realization. Maybe it is even 6 or 7. When Sarojini came in, my Guru's comments were something like now we dont wont the mind to reroot, then she told her to read some scripture- I forget which one, but Sarojini did it immediately.
I don't question too much about anything anymore, I did in the begining but it is not necessary now. why why why is not some much of interest to me, things are as they are. Main thing is - when you get there, it is never what you thought it was. My Guru and the other enlightened ones here make a lot of comments and I forward some of them on. My Guru said yesterday in trying to explain things that ounce you are there, you find it hard to believe that Maya could have ever sneaked in like this. As you know in TM, there was the reading of rig ved, 9th and 10th. In theory, one did it and either not questioned why or even if you wanted to question it, then to who? I never heard an explaination why we should read it, we were just told to do it. One in theory surrenders to the guru's instructions, along with the transmissions from the Guru, and in the end it is only grace that brings one's forward, it is not a matter of one doing something although it appears this way. Later on, instead of reading the mandalas, we listened to the chanting of them in the native language. I also for example attended the coronation ceremony for Rajaram but then also the first group of rajas. after like an hour of politics waiting outside each day, we got in ( uninvited guests numbering up to about 200). once in, when the chanting started, I went very deep for the whole 5 hours of it. I thought this is so enjoyable, this is how it should always be or maybe this is how it is going to be in the future. there was a transmission coming through with those pundits chanting. This was among the deepest I have even been to that point as a result of listening to some chanting via audio. At present, I am not with TM, I am with my new path completely. Even though only certain things carried a transmission for me in TM and to some degree, in theory, some of these things prescribed such as reading the mandalas, listening to certain chanting- may carry an extremely deep transmission that some may have had or still have. i dont know, i only know my experience with certain audio things I listened to. I was so deep in listening to them that it already was like probably hard for anyone to believe that did not have this experience. in my path now, and this is again my experience, there also are certain audios I listen to, it was done by my guru and designed to carry a transmission. The effect of it is beyond what I thought possible in that the mind can totally still. I thought back to something the late Charlie lutes said after hearing about some new machine on the market that was said to bring people along in the path. Charlie said that someone once asked MMY if it is possible to transcend using audio, then MMY closed his eyes for a while , then answered yes. Hridaya
