Thread: Chinmaya Correspondence Course advises choosing a lord

    Friends,
    I would suggest that one should not be attached excessively to the form... even if it is of the God !

    The Form you use as a representation for your own fulfilled Self waiting to be discovered ! Its You, the You who is formless and changeless Presence!

    Love!
    Silence
    Come up, O Lions, and shake off the delusion that you are a sheep

    Namaskar Silenceji,

    Point well taken. And agreed.

    For myself i can only say that what I meant was when one is new on the path, sometimes fixations on specific forms such as this are like guides, sign posts, kos minar. They have a significance, though they are only guides and will be gorown out of like childrens' clothes. Still, if one sees significance, one should study it a bit before moving on. But this has only been my own experience and may not apply to others.

    I realize they are not identical. I just wanted something as close to that as possible but it turns out that company can't even make one as small or nearly as cheap as I would like... Everything I can find is a little silly looking to me... It doesn't seem like it should be so difficult to find that basic model in wood about six inches high for about twenty bucks the way you can with Buddhas... Buddhas of the quality, size and price I would like are all over the place. I'm obviously not the only one by far that would like to have it... but I just can't find anything. I don't suppose anyone else has found this basic model in a small affordable form?
