Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “People want to 'see' the Self as something new and as one which is external. It is 'Being' but different from the real and unreal. It is knowledge, but different from knowledge and ignorance; It is light but beyond light and darkness. How can it be defined at all? It is simply Being, bereft of name, form and duality. It is Eternal and remains the same all along. It is neither light nor darkness (Na Tejo na Tamaha). They call it light because there is no other proper word for it. Then the 'I' spontaneously manifests in full glory, unbroken and infinite. The superficial Ego thought is a bubble in this Ocean, but, the bubble, too, is water. What remains in the bubble is part of the Ocean. Bubble is part and parcel of Ocean. When we call it 'Jiva', then there is 'Parama'. Parama must be Jiva. Nay, Parama is Jiva in disguise."
