Many of us are sitting here only after passing through reverence and devotion to a form. After a particular stage , we are asked to go beyond the form. Formality is the procedure we adopt to worship the form. WITHOUT BELITTLING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FORM , WE ARE ASKED TO GO TO THE ORIGIN OF THE FORM AND THE FORMALITY. .. Form and formality play a very important role. ..Even Ramana Bhagavan who was full of Nondualism, composed Akshara Mana Malai, on Arunachal . He did not regard it as a hill, but considered it as Pure Consciousness...

One is sitting in UK, one is sitting in USA, one is in Australia, one is in Kanhangad...All are breathing...That is why we are here...

*******

Vanishing forms--- Anything we see is perishable ...They stay for short or long time...


****

Birth and death is common for all...

If we accept death, we will be free from possessiveness, hatred, prejudice

********


Self- assertion  as a separate individual existence--------at times spontaneously we come out of it...It is a natural outcome of our journey.. Not because we plan or decide intellectually...

Before  40 years, we were travelling from Mysore to Wayanad by bus. About 40 passengers had to get down in the middle of the forest since a huge tree had fallen right in front. One man belonging to a house nearby ran a km away in the torrential rain and got an axe and managed to pave the way for the bus. ... Huge amount was collected but it was very very difficult to make him accept. ...We remember that incident after decades because he had risen above body consciousness...
