Hi everybody,
A very good friend of mine from another List invited to come over here and may I extend a warm heart to you all. A word that Society uses to
differentiate me from another is Sandeep.
For some time today I was reading the messages on this Forum and Hmm..... sparks do fly here doesn't it. At least it gives me the impression that this
is a very alive place (grin).
To all who are being perceived as throwers of "Insults" and to those who are perceived as receivers of such "Insults", let me throw something in the
Melting Pot
You cannot insult me because I do not seek your respect in the first place.
It is when I seek, expect, something from you, then I have you made you my Master. Why? Because you then have the mastery , the power over me to deny
me what I seek from you. So if it is respect that I seek, then I am open to be insulted.
So if I have a stake in my beliefs, in my convictions, in my "insights", in my "revelations from my meditations" and thus want to shout from the roof
tops looking for lost souls to "convert", then I open to the possibility that someone will come up and call me an AssH..
Just some thoughts on the dynamics of "Insulting" (grin)
As a closing thought, Always forgive your enemies, they can't stand it.
In zikr
Sandeep

Hello Gloria
I am so grateful to you for sharing these lines. Thank you.
May I try to give back to you some of what you gave me?
Non-attachment is not concerned with things
but with thoughts Non-attachment is not related to the outside
but to the within Non-attachment is not to do with the world
but with oneself
One day a beggar went to see a Sufi fakir and found him seated on velvet cushion inside a beautiful tent with it's ropes tied to golden pegs in the
ground. Seeing all this the beggar cried:What is all this!
I have heard so much about you and your spirituality and non-attachment but I am completely disillusioned by all this ostentation around you.
The fakir laughed and immediately jumped up and said Let's go and walked off with the beggar not even waiting to put on his sandals.
After a while the beggar was distressed. "I left my begging bowl in your tent. What shall I do without it? Please
wait while I go back and fetch it." The Sufi roared in laughter. My friend said he," the gold pegs of my tent
were stuck in the earth, not in my heart; but your begging bowl is still chasing you."
To be in the world is not attachment
The presence of the world in the mind is the attachment and when the world disappears from the mind-
this is non-attachment.
In zikr
Sandeep

Hello Gloria
Some more thoughts for you. Do let me know what you felt
I am one with all things
in beauty, in ugliness for whatsoever is, there I am
Not only in virtue but in sin too I am a partner:
and not only heaven but hell too is mine. Buddha, Jesus, Lao tzu-
it is easy to be their heir But Genghis, Taimur and Hitler?
They are also within me! no, not half- I AM THE WHOLE
Whatsoever's is man's, is mine- flowers and thorns
darkness as well as light And if nectar is mine, whose is poison?
NECTAR AND POISON-BOTH ARE MINE
In zikr
Sandeep
