Chaff and grain (Bush Inauguration Chart Article)

[Guest guest]

Narasimha,

 

I cannot show you something like that because I don't believe

any "unimportant husk" exists in either Pasrashara's or Jaimini's

work. Also, by the word remove, i didn't mean "throwing away", but

the act of going within to understand the deeper meanings of the

words.

 

Let me illustrate it further, just so that it is clear. For example

there can be many words that describe the planet or the energy Sun.

But, all these words themselves are not the real Sun, but pointers to

the principle. Many descriptions are provided by the Maharishis to

somehow get the student to understand the Principle of Sun. In the

ultimate analysis, for a person who has completely understood the

Principle of Sun, the descriptions are usless. The descriptions

become husk for such a person.

 

I hope this calrifies my earlier statement.

 

Regards,

Arun
