There was nothing more for Ramana to explore. He realized the Self when he was 16. He was done. That's the end of seeking. He was instantly without the gunas. Yes. End of, completely. Except I don't know what the f*ck gunas are. |

As near as I can tell, it was simply: Curiosity I think if he were born 20 years ago though he would have been an extreme athlete doing the most dangerous sports with wreckless abandon....because he dove headfirst into his exploration of death with the fearlessness of somebody with no concern whatsoever about self preservation lol Ramana was NOT an athlete by NATURE, he could have never become that. He was a psychonaut, not an astronaut. You just keep mixing the unmixble. A pity. Niz, however - could have become an athlete, yes. Although he did enjoy wrestling as a young boy. |

I have read it, thank you. There are states. If a sanscrit term for those is 'gunas' - OK. Humans always oscillate between states. One can attempt to maintain a constant state of equlibrium, but it is (again) a lie and a waste of energy. Hormones flow can be in part affected by diet and lifestyle, yes (as it is suggested in the link), but cannot be eliminated entirely, due to human physiology. It will also be unique to each body, hence a relative correspondence of gunas to the four humours theory of ancient Greece. We will ALWAYS walk on the brink of falling, in that oscillation movement. Will always fall into 'undesirable' states and most will climb back up. It's life, nothing unknown in it, nothing new, yet everything happening for the first time. I hadn't realised that article was a bit food oriented. The gunas are more about mental states. |

Your comment above again shoes how careless you are about what you posit/observe/encounter. First, it shows you gave a link to something you yourself have not read carefully. Secondly, the article is NOT food orientated. It simply suggests that mental states can be altered via healthy bodily pratices. Which, of course, is correct, but only to a point. You always have the option of using Google yourself when a word appears that you don't understand. |

You remind me of alertpeaceeternal.She was here sometime ago. But disappeared. She acted in this forum kinda strong. Wanted to put any enlightened guy at bay. But we were friends. I do not claim to know/ possess mystic powers. I am here because of my faith and devotion to Christ/Krsna. |

It's funny, i was just taking a shower and exactly the same thought came into my head. Although her other name ajna came to mind. You don't often pop up in here. I hope you got through that recent storm in the Philippines okay. |

I do not claim to know/ possess mystic powers. I am here because of my faith and devotion to Christ/Krsna. Raja, I don't 'act' or try to put anyone at bay. I am telling what is. It may be below the radar of many humans. I AM strong, it is noted by many. But that doesn't mean I am not vulnerable. Beautiful human vulnerability (openness of Self) is what I appreciate in humans the most and AM in my physical life. If there is a need for crying - I will cry, and if there is a call for laughter - I will laugh. You do have this vulnerability, and so we are friends. I simply do not share your beliefs and devotion. A username, such as 'alertpeaceeternal tells me she was 'not'. People here are in hiding - from their Selves. Nothing new. Are you strong because you have a strong ego or because you have no ego? Hint: No ego makes you invincible. |

Are you strong because you have a strong ego or because you have no ego? Hint: No ego makes you invincible. I am - BOTH and NONE. All and Nothing. Love and Wisdom. Angel and Devil. Male and Female. God and Mortal. Indifference and Compassion. Avessel which accepts all states. In that - is Oneness of Multitudes. Now if I said that you would dismiss it as just words and tell me that everything is meaningless. Or heaven forbid if a guru said it or if it was written in some sacred text that would be even worse. Lol. |

Lol. You asked, and I expressed. It is meaningless regardless. There is nothing sacred. If you had said what I said above - I would have told you that you are lying. I would have said this because there are a lot of holes in your Vision. I would have known that the above words did NOT come from you directly, were not owned by your Self.  |

I hope you got through that recent storm in the Philippines okay. I read Anja's posts. I think she was also present in Jed's first forum. I never participated in his first forum, just read some of the posts, not many before he shut it down. Anja was exceptionally smart, but crazy. I am as sane as the sane gets.Ermm.. you keep telling yourself that. |

Ermm.. you keep telling yourself that. No need. I know what/who I am, and what/who I am not. And what is it that you are not? |

And what is it that you are not? and this has many human implications. You want to tell yourself that you are not an untruth? |

Good question. This you to which you refer is me, the individual personal aspect. Without attachment to ego there is no vulnerability, only invincibility, which means no fear. |
