The thought which occurs to me, is this: How can one possibly uplift another who is struggling to swim, without getting ones own feet wet again?
Surely, helping ones self is the assistance of another, themselves flailing, dying to be released; one must come down from ones abode, and get dirty in saṁskāra; I like to think that it is a matter of timing, which is why Jyotiṣ light is so very dear to me, that and my love of science ...
Pertaining to your questions smaranam; I have a though upon reading one of them:
Referring to the words and imagery of swami Lakshman Jū;
Those of the coagulation of conciousness; this covering might it be just that. The necessity of coagulation in order that memory's form, how else would we otherwise know of such beings? This seems to me that it could be the cause of such covering.
Thank you all for your reflection here, it is a positively delight to discover the language, knowledge and ideas, the legend, with which you are all so very well acquainted; I can't help but feel somewhat ill equipped for such a wonderful discussion, it is also a delight to be learning.
It is a pleasure to read and learn from you All; your devotion imbues your words with a sweet flavour, the dance of a subtle tattva born of devotion, as elemental as it is divine; is this rasa not its self, of the self, and as such also very real? The mood of the playground, if you will.
Kind regards.
