Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 All-pervading Spirit, but the manifestations of His Power are different in different beings. In some places there is a manifestation of the power of Knowledge; in the others, of the power of ignorance. In some places there is greater manifestation of power than in others. Don't you see that among human beings there are cheats and gamblers, to say nothing of men who are like tigers. I think of them as the 'cheat God', the 'tiger God'.We should salute them from a distance. If we go near the 'tiger God' and embrace him, he may devour us. Roman">He and His Power, Brahman and Its Power - nothing else exists but this. Believe in the form of God. It is only after attaining Brahmajnana that one sees non-duality(sees the good qualities in all beings), the oneness of Brahman and Its Sakti. Brahman(all pervading consciousness of every individual soul) and Sakti(the powers of soul) are identical, like fire and its power to burn. When a man thinks of fire, he must also think of its power to burn. Again, when he thinks of the power to burn, he must also think of fire. Further, Brahman and Sakti are like milk and its whiteness, water and its wetness." -----Sri Ramakrishna Sivaya Namah Talk is cheap. Use Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls.
