| Today
one of my fondest wishes came true... |
again
it was confirmed (for me) that when you make a wish and
release it to the Universe...the wish may take a while to be
fulfilled but it manifests beyond your wildest imagination...I
love being in the aura of Saints and
Sages...Click: In
touch with Masters
Today
I was invited at the Leela Kempinski Hotel to a room which
held about 150 invitees to meet His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
The host body was 'The Dharma Rain for Buddhist Studies'
His Holiness the Dalai Lama said:
When Buddha was asked whether there is an Aatman,a beginning
or an end (to Creation)... Lord Buddha diplomatically remained
silent...The Lama smiled and continued "Maybe we should
remain silent"
During the time came for Interaction, I asked His Holiness:
"Maybe God is beyond understanding and putting into words
and hence Lord Buddha remained silent?"
His Holiness laughed and said: "Maybe" "People
say (Dalai Lama) is a great Christian/Hindu... and I smile
Buddhists scholars respect all traditions and beliefs..."
To a question of how His Holiness views the Caste System, he
said: "I believe that all (humans) are created equal...
To a question, "Do you fight death in the case of a
terminal illness, or accept and surrender?"
He replied: "One should try and reduce pain..."
The rest of the discourse was intense...He urged that people
should not only bow to Scriptures but study them...
His Holiness 'ki mere oopar drishti padi' ie he looked at me,
while answering my query and I am feeling blessed!
The
young to be 10 year old Dalai Lama, Charak Rinpoche was
also there...he is believed to be a divine incarnation, and I
saw him...
My cup runneth over...
I
think that it was Osho who said: "There is no God only
Godliness"
Maybe
God is not in everything, God is everything.
Maybe
God is a verb...Maybe God is 'Godding'...
Maybe
God is not the Creator, God is in every atom of His
Creation...Like Nataraja (Shiva) and His dance is one...The
dancer and the dance cannot be separated...
You
do not have to BELIEVE that you HAVE a body...you KNOW you
have a body...
Maybe
similarly you do not have to believe in God, you know there is
God and maybe that God is you and everything/everyone
else...
