Vedas and Nothingness (the real issue)

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

As our own Tonyji has already stated, Nirvana, Nirguna, Nirvikalpa, all these

terms imply the same thing.

 

The difficulty in such conversations is that the true understanding is not

intellectual or conceptual but absolutely direct. Clear and direct without the

medium of the mind.

 

Sri Ramana’s comments on Buddha reveal his great regard for him.

 

Reaching the highest peak, the scene is the same for everyone. One’s Own Being

It Self Is the Scene! Call it Fullness or Emptiness. The same sameness

everywhere.

 

The arguments in the name of religion happen at the ground floors, at the

intermediate levels, and not at the highest height.

 

In order to go high, one has to be light, without burden. So whether someone is

a Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Christian, it does not matter. The conceptual luggage

has to be thrown away. That’s all.

 

My teacher told me of one of his visits to Sri Ramana as a teenager. Ramana

Maharshi was silent. Sometimes Sri Ramana liked to keep silent. My teacher asked

him about the highest reality but Sri Ramana was silent for a while. Then the

Sage smiled and without speaking, pointed with his finger, first to the sky and

then the same finger to his heart.

 

So, it seems to me that the highest height is the same as the deepest depth.

Whatever path one takes, one will only come to where One Already Is. Call it by

any name.

 

Love to all

Harsha
