----- With the poetic allusions clarified, perhaps the original post makes more sense to those prone to literal readings. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/81889 "Your mind is never going to get MMY. Never, ever." DR. PS Who / what is Maharishi? The same as we all experience in or out of meditation. Effulgence, for want of a better inadequate label or name. What is the personality, mind, intellect of Maharishi? Its a hallowed out, crystaline matrix, a unique transparent tapestry woven from the residue of thousands of lives, training, teachers, culturing, habits, experiences, karmas, sadhanas, tapas, sacrafices, blunders, deaths, births, brothers, sisters, pets, hunger, sex, wives, children, wars, peace, oppulence, wandering, seclusion, fame, poverty, shame, dharma, joy, sadness, dispair and elation. What does this tapestry have to do with the Effulgent? Nothing. Other than being a vessel for the Effulgent to flow through. As all vessels, you and me, are. So there is Effulgence, and there is a personality. One of billions of personalities cultured over the eons. That a particular personality has quirks, is odd, misbehaves sometimes -- like Dr. Strangelove's arm trying to chock him -- its all reaction. Reaction of that tapestry, with all its quirky embedded designs, with the day to day ticking of LIFE and experience as presented, while EFFULGENCE flows through it all.
