It is natural to be tired on account of the body. Although the body and mind are two different entities, they are interdependent. When the mind feels tired, the reaction is felt by the body; when the body feels tired, so does the mind. Only the soul is aloof from both. All this feeling is done by the ego. The "I" does not feel content; that means "I am unhappy," "I am in trouble." All this is the ego. Now this limited "I" takes all that is unimportant as important, and vice versa. There is a world of difference between importance and necessity. Bodily needs and comforts are unimportant but necessary. Spirituality, which is important but externally unnecessary, is taken as unimportant. See how unimportant the external is. Quetta was a flourishing town and within five minutes it was destroyed. This is unimportant. If it were of real importance, the Infinite would not have it destroyed. Look at Spain. All that was thought to be of importance was destroyed. All illusion comes and goes, but the soul remains unchanged. What is meant by God-realization is to actually experience this important thing — that the soul is eternal.

Apparently being that close to God results in your getting a bad haircut and a giant honker...
Isn't that Yanni's dad?
That comment in your tagline is chilling. Who is "posterboy" and where did he post this?

Courtesy ping to Esso. I saw it here: http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi? ArtNum=33154&SC=75&EC=114#C114 Per Esso in post 105 the link is (I just checked and it still works): http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi? ArtNum=156464&Disp=43#C43 43. To: Aaron, White Sands (#16) at the ovens of Freedon4um, a forum well known to those in power. I wouldn't worry so much about 4Dumb. Once we get the hate laws through, that anti-Semitic hellhole will be shut down for good. It's about time some of these Americans start to get some understanding that this crap's not going to be tolerated much longer. Anybody caught badmouthing Israel is committing treachery and treason against the American government in a time of war, and that's the death penalty. When the Pres finally signs the capital punishment order for anti-Semitism, these haters aren't gonna know what hit 'em. posterboy posted on 2006-08-25 01:28:13 ET Reply Trace
