Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Babaji,Shantnuji, and ALL Sadhaks Pranams Intuition,Sixth sense,Premonition, Phantom pain are known to all. They exist. Sadhaks experience or must experience " PHANTOM PLEASURE " (Indescribable happiness not caused by any material possession.) Phantom pain is a medical/psychiatric condition.In this an individual whose limb is amputated continues to feel pain in the limb that is removed from the body and destroyed. The explanation that brain is programmed to locate the pain in the unseen part of the body is incomplete because even blocking the nerves/ hypnotizing /deprogramming and such other medical technics did no relieve the pain.What is more, children born without a limb as a birth defect reported pain in the non existent limb. These truths point out to a thing beyond brain and mind. KARMIC EXPERIENCES OF SOUL connected to physical body, brain and mind only can explain these phenomena saisfactorily . 1)Soul suffers even if body does not suffer 2)Such suffering is not conrolled or limited by engineering the body and mind. 3)Deep mental depressions disappeared after the victim survives a suicide attmpt. 4)Some people are " happy go lucky " type without being materially well endowed. It is very reasonable and possible to link mind and soul. though the nature of the link is not fully understood. If soul can experience pain through Karma , pleasure also can be experienced by Karma and Sadhana.. Kindly offer your comments and feedback.

You have wonderfully elaborated about pain being beyond Mind... does it necessarily means that it is Soul who feels the pain and pleasure ?

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Aumji , I think the soul suffers. A suffering soul is differenly named as evil spirit,harming diety etc. A soul that " rests in peace " is a happy soul.An unfulfilled very strong desire may be fulfilled in the next birth as soul transmigrates.

A suffering soul is differenly named But Swamiji, dont the scriptures say the soul is beyond all happiness & suffering? Isnt that why we worship/try to become the soul- so we too can go beyond all suffering? with love Shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Ji han . If sir the soul is beyond all happiness , also beyond all pain ,and if the soul feels nothing , what is the difference between a soul and a stone in wilderness.? Is the soul living or dead. I feel I am doing sadhana for a soul that stays eternally happy. Scriptures say soul does not suffer like a body -- pain,hunger anger etc.Soul does not enjoy like the body-- good taste comfortable bed sound sleep etc. The posiive side /pleasant side of soul is beyond human comprehension.Soul has a state of bliss. My vocabulary is insufficient to describe that state. kindly comment and criticise OMNAMONARAYANAYA ijswamy. shanracer <no_reply > wrote: , " J.SWAMY IRAGAVARAPU " > Aumji , I think the soul suffers.

Is the soul living or dead. Swamiji, it is a well known fact that at 2 extremes, things look similar. So 1 extreme of light is ultraviolet, other is infrared, but we cannot see both, so they " seem " similar to us(invisible). But they are not the same! A Sadhu is just sitting on the floor smiling. So is a drunk. But they are not the same! It is wrong to say a stone feels nothing- how would we know? In the Santana Dharam, everything, even a stone is alive. Thats why gems can be used for healing purposes- they give us their energy. Thats why many astrologers recommend keeping gemstones under the pillow for a night before wearing them- as we can contact the energy of the stone in our dream. The fact we cannot do so when awake is our failing. To someone I know, the gem he was about to wear actually appeared as a person in his dream, & told him how he would be useful. So a stone is not dead- except it cannot express itself openly. Thats because it is at 1 extreme- of Tamogun. God is at the other extreme- the height of Satogun. Most of us cannot talk to God, anymore than we can talk to the stone- but again thats our fault! Both are alive in their own ways. God doesnt feel any sorrow, or misery, or pain, as Satogun is by defintion that which brings Light, harmony & bliss. But the Pure Spirit(called variously Shiv, Narayan, Brahm) is beyond even God- God(or Ishwar Tattva) is a reflection of the Pure Spirit in Prakriti. Or, (since Im reading Yoganandas commentary on Bible), the Father is born as the Son, Christ Conciousness, in the Virgin Mother Mary(she is a virgin, as in the beginning Prakriti exists all by herself in the manifest world) Satogun, while it is a highly pleasing & enlightening stage, is still a part of Prakriti, or Mother Nature. The Pure Spirit, Atma, is beyond all dualities- happiness/sadness, pain/pleasure, light/darkness. While it is true God doesnt feel any sorrow like we do, Higher Beings(like Rishis, Avtaars) do feel a certain sadness when they see people living in ignorance. This sadness is due to misunderstanding of the Truth by humans. This is the reason these higher beings incarnate- to help remove darkness. with love Shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
