Essence or Whole?
“If one looks deeply into nature, one can see messages strewn about in every single detail. When your consciousness touches nature’s, the consciousness in nature speaks to you and reveals to you the secrets of an awakened living.” – Bodhi.
Miracles and Visions Are Tricks and Traps!
Bodhi always says “Experiencing miracles and visions have nothing to do with spiritual greatness. In many cases, it is only a distraction, and the feeding of ego. Miracles create dependence, obstruct the path to know the truth. Visions create the illusion that he/she is greatly evolved. There is no ego greater and more destructive than spiritual ego.” “Agartala Maa used to say, “Visions, visions, visions! What good will they do? First try to know thyself. All are tricks and traps, meaningless, useless!”
The Teacher Teaches through His Own Life
He had prayed this for several days to the Mother asking Her to spare the betrayer’s family the onslaught of his dreadful crime. Now, looking upon the stool with some money, Bodhi laughed and said to me, “Life’s journey is like a flowing river. Losses and gains are the two banks on the opposite sides of this river. Most people spend their lives sometimes ecstatic and sometimes in an abyss of depression – all by being too attached to the riverbanks but ignoring the river’s destination. If one focuses on the destination, one will reach the ocean. One will reach the permanent Truth.”
Bodhi Returns to USA
Bodhi’s U.S. trips are usually very hectic, involving back-to-back travels, long flights from one city to another without enough rest, frequent gatherings, talks and satsangs. This time around it will be more so, since he is to be covering the whole trip in mere 10 days time.
