Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The British in India
All valid observations and insights that you need to temper your own experience with, not deconstruct the validity of another's experience. You can only talk about what you experience, not another. And certainly don't expect social consensus with someone like MMY. Your mind is never going to get him. Never, ever.

I think the bottom line may be that if we could react to everyone we meet (including ourselves) by cutting them the same slack we give to those we consider enlightened, the world might be a better place. :-) In the tradition I practice in, it is considered one of the aspects of the manifestations of staying in the state of unity to be able to see others in their enlightened forms.

It's all sentimentality and ego up there, but deep in the heart is that pulse of Brahman that just PULLS you into it and flattens all the bullshit of the personality.

Agreed. If you're looking for relative perfection in a realized master, good luck! For example in a residential Art of Living course I took about a year ago with SSRS in residence, I was bothered by his casual manner in talking about funny stories from his ashram and people throwing themselves at his feet. He wasn't making fun of them or anything but was talking about the difficulty in walking around and how much time it took to go from one end of his ashram to another. Very funny, very cute story. But I was amazed at part of my own reaction. I wanted him to be more serious and aloof and not have the reaction he did. Just some silly relative ideal of what a guru should be. My attachment, my problem, not his. > > Of course whether he has or hasn't is still > one's individual take; it's just that the take > shouldn't be based, it seems to me, on the > perceived distance of the expression from what > they would consider relative perfection. The first time I saw MMY in 1972 my mind blew wide open and left absolutely no doubts about his Realized status. And in every ensuing contact with him over the years this has happened over and over again with the experience getting deeper and deeper everytime. > > So what should it be based on??

Yeah, but a good tangent I think, ultimately, the value of a guru/master is in him/her functioning as a catalyst for one's own realization.

Your post reminds me of why Oprah Winfrey is such a spiritual person. My wife has been watching her 6-DVD 20th Anniversary special - highlights of her past 20 years. Oprah's heart is wide open. She feels others' pain as her own. And she is brutally honest with herself in front of 20 million people, sometimes appearing without makeup, talking about her weight problems, etc. Very inspiring lady. Yahoo!

On a near regular basis I would see raw MMY footage being edited to remove sections that did not adhere to top administrators' ideal of what MMY should say. Usually international did this but every once in a while MIU video would edit some of these tapes. I also saw them do this on a Triguna tape where the edit completely reversed his intended meaning. The person editing the tape showed me the raw footage and the finished product. He told me that he was directly told by someone in the MIU administration to edit particular parts of the tape. > > > > > > > > > Yahoo!
