Ding dong the witch is dead. But fear not, the compassionate Sister Klaus is just as capable of inflicting pain. Verily, her tough love is most therapeutic!

OF, if your dreams are getting rusty and your meditation sucks, and your realization of the unity of all things is falling apart, then why not visit the movie house to see something that can cheer you up?

Perhaps something like Titanic 2 in 4K-3D?

OK Fatso, if all else fails why not try the Soylent Green solution? You get to listen to some great classical music before your corporeal remains get turned into green doggie biscuits. It's also an eco-efficient way of ending it all. And with all that blubber that you and the Missus have, we also get the chance to make some high quality soap, just like that scene from Fight Club!

Respected Chi-Ting Master
I am really very disappointed with your reply. You don’t answer my question about my level of devotion. Instead you trample on our already damaged souls by making fun of our lamentable and deplorable state. I thought you were a wise man, but you are just as mean as the rest of the world. The Missus wasn’t pleased either with your offensive words. She called you a "nasty son of a bitch" ... And about my wonky wiener: there is nothing wrong there. He did his duty very well and is now in the state of happy retirement. No longer pining for the fjords or looking for greener pastures. After passing over he reached the realm of the blissful ex-wieners. So keep your bloody AC/DC (and the non-existent 5th dimension) and be careful not to choke on it. With mixed feelings,

Yours OF

P.S. How the fuck am I supposed to recite the word c##t or do you mean by any chance "cunt"? Why the sudden shyness?

2013-04-07T00:11:23.214+01:00

Tis, but I cannot name it, tis the sense
of majesty, and beauty, and repose
A blended holiness of earth and sky,
Something that makes this individual spot
This small abiding place of many men,
A termination, and a last retreat,
A center, come from whatsoever you will
A whole without dependence or defect,
Made for itself and happy in itself,
Perfect contentment, Unity entire.

Aghori
I don’t think anything, but I trust these words…

Arjuna: "How can I put into practice what you are demanding of me? The mind is capricious, unstable; it’s evasive, feverish, turbulent, tenacious. It’s harder to subdue than taming the wind."
Krishna: "You must learn to see with the same eye; a mound of earth and a heap of gold, a cow, a sage, a dog and a man who eats the dog. There is another intelligence, beyond the mind."

And…
"Allahu al Wahid, wa al Ahad!"

Et bien soit!

Dear Blubberguts
As I recently remarked to my great chum Sean (known in these parts as the Retarded One!): "Do not fret, the Church of Chi-Ting is a broad congregation, a veritable haven for the maladjusted of mind and body. Even our beloved Sister Klaus is hardly the Archbishopess of Normal!" So please continually repeat your sacred Chi-Ting mantra - "Karl Renz is a complete c##t!" - and all will be well.

Yours Sri Sri SRI Kevinandaji

P.S. For your wonky wiener, I recommend a Russian concoction known as Stalin's Lurv Juice (trademarked as ACD). The Missus won't know what has hit her as you will be transformed into a monstrous tantric sex god! Good luck and give her a right going over: your devotion will instantly quadruple and both of you will ascend to the 5th dimension in an orgiastic climax!

2013-04-06T12:37:19.497+01:00

Once again, Sri Kevinji Master Sir, a plea for a bowdlerized version of your undoubtedly very intelligent and erudite post, which causes us simpletons such unbearable splitting headaches. Please have pity on us, don’t deny us your wisdom. We may be silly and stupid, but we are also human (I guess).

My devotion is totally for the Missus. Even after all these years together she is still my hero, my sweetheart, my duck, the eternal beloved. Even if she calls me a brainless Frankfurter and a spineless snail, a bloody fucking idiot, an impotent fatso and a totally useless scumbag couch-potato: I still adore her tainted beauty, her sagging boobies, her croaking voice, her bulbous arse and her unsurpassed art of continuously talking bullshit and bullying me.

Isn’t that REAL devotion Chi-Ting Master? Or do you think I completely missed the essence of your post?

Hey Firefly if you think a pile of rocks is the same as your God-Self so be it. Personally I AM not 'seeking'!.... any rewards since I AM IS the gestalt. Yes you are correct about the 'circus' here.

2013-04-06T04:31:14.726+01:00

Aghori
There is no difference between Arunachala-Ramana and the God-Self (one’s I AM Presence) ... as long you don’t see that and you are still looking for a reward, you are still captured in dualistic mind-fuck states. There is also no difference between a spiritual rehabilitation centre and satirical entertainment, as you can clearly see if you stroll around in the Ramanashram area.

By one who is skilled in goodness,
And who knows the path of peace:
Let them be able and upright,
Straightforward and gentle in speech
Humble and not conceited,
Contented and easily satisfied ..."

2013-04-06T02:14:22.246+01:00

Dear Sirs,

One must try and keep an open mind on the question about which things work and which do not work for a given person. As Flann O'Brien has mentioned in The Third Policeman, “Strange enlightenments are vouchsafed to those who seek the higher places.”

I am sure for someone such as Firefly the rude stones and secret places of meditation which he has found on top of Arunachala constitute such higher places.

As ever,

Yours faithfully,

Myles O'Blarney

2013-04-05T18:05:18.646+01:00

Once a PWD inspector asked Sri Bhagvavan: 'How can we live a pure life in this world?' and He replied, 'You know the nattan-kal (a standing stone fixed at a road junction) we have in our villages (in the Madurai district). See how many uses it has: villagers place their head loads on it when they take rest, cows use it as a scratching post, betel chewers wipe their surplus chunnambu (lime paste) on it and others spit on it.
We must live in this world like those nattan-kals'

"The examples are endless: just look at the Catholic church and their endless paedophile scandals"
Yes it's true the church has a lot to answer for! Criminologists stats also show that married men with children are often the greatest perpetrators of child sex abuse. Often gravitating towards jobs as teachers, swimming instructors, scout masters etc ... So celibacy as such, has very little to do with it.

2013-04-05T12:11:06.802+01:00

Yes Firefly “All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you.” I have been telling the 'goddess' this all my life...and she loves it.
Just image for a moment if your 'attention' and 'devotion' was directed to your God-Self(one's I AM Presence) instead of the mountain/Ramana what you might outpicture-experience as your rewards?
Just because the sister has some issues does not mean some of the information is not correct. Did you forget this is an 'entertainment' site not a spiritual rehabilitation center.
Kevji can only have so many 'bowel movements' per month so he has to aquire some extra 'shit' from some place.

2013-04-05T11:11:12.262+01:00

Firstly, I can’t believe you take that crap written by that sexually twisted bullshit artist Sister Klaus seriously. She is fucked in the head and yet you devote a whole post to her distorted mind! I don’t deny that there is a lot of fishy, kinky stuff going on between Guru and devotee. Much of it is probably of an S&M nature, but to apply that to all Guru-devotee relationships is too easy and looks like cheap sensationalism. Also you only get this abuse and power when both the Master and devotee are actively looking for one another.

I am a devotee of the mountain, Arunachala - and its devotee, the one named Ramana. I don’t see Arunachala as a benign, punishing or forgiving God (as some idiotic commentators suggest) and I don’t see Ramana as the Guru who knows what is best for me. Actually I don’t know anything about the connection I have with them, it's just undeniably so. I am not hoping to get something out of it nor do I have anything to give. All I can say is that I am a devotee of a Mystery called Arunachala Ramana and that’s enough for me. It makes me a happy person and that’s why I live here and call it my home. To quote a rather silly song, “All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you.” Is that not enough?!

2013-04-05T09:04:02.222+01:00

So abstinence and sexual repression are the answer? You seem to think you are better than me because you are denying yourself "life's little pleasures." This is exactly the same kind of moral superiority complex that we highlight in the post. The whole point of what we are saying is that formula and prescription are useless whatever form they may take. If self-denial and control were the keys to heaven, the whole of the Christian world would be illumined. But look around you, it just ain't so! In the case of India, sexual abstinence and repression has been nothing but a recipe for sanctioned rape and wife-beating. Celibacy is not a decision: it doesn't need to be imposed. If it occurs naturally, organically and requires no effort, then so be it! But denial always creates an equal and opposite counterforce. The examples are endless: just look at the Catholic church and their endless paedophile scandals!

"Sexually repressed zombie" Ahh thats the sticking point! So you don't intend to deny yourself life's little pleasures for even a moment!

2013-04-05T04:15:34.482+01:00

Most people are doing self-enquiry because they think there is something wrong with themselves and with the world. They basically need therapy to rediscover their self-esteem. They are attracted to religion because it reinforces their deep belief that they are morally flawed. Usually abuse victims, they are replaying their original trauma but don't know they are doing it. It can take years of deprogramming before they can see that they have been handing over their personal power to someone else and/or a method to make them happy; placing happiness in the future; and believing that some people are more spiritually evolved than others.

In many ways Advaita is more dangerous than Jim Jones, Waco, & the Japanese Aum Doomsday cult. Ramana had all the hallmarks of a saint. He spoke to animals. He never refused visitors. He just sat in Silence and answered people's questions. He wasn't killing or dominating anyone. So self enquiry is surely some quiet, harmless practice that makes you feel better and so contributes to a better world - what could be wrong with that?

Looks can be very deceiving. Could you cope if you never did self enquiry, ever, again? Do you criticise or look down on others who don't do self enquiry? Do you feel the majority of those in Tiru are not here for the right purpose? Do you think the real purpose of life is spiritual practice and self-purification? Do you believe deep down that others just don't get it? - If only they would look at themselves and return to inner practice rather than getting lost in the world?

These are all the hallmarks of an extreme psychotic state. You are playing God and think you have all the answers. This is an advanced superiority complex where you yourself are the victim.

As a psychologist, I can say that many of the people attached to Ramana Ashram are confused, emotionally stunted, human beings who need an external system to tell them that they are good. But feeling good can never come from the outside. You have to start from that feeling. If you are without it, you can never find it, however hard you try. Self-enquiry will not help you. But dropping it will. When you let go of this artificial instrument for conjuring up an artificial state of perfection, you will just be yourself with all your perfections and imperfections. You'll be just like all the rest of us - battered, bruised, a great survivor and a wonderful human being despite it all - and able to feel some love again.

And by that I take it you mean joining the legions...

2013-04-05T02:38:16.012+01:00

And by that I take it you mean joining the legions of 50/60 somethings, who talk endlessly about self-enquiry but only succeed in getting more neurotic by the day. Rocking the cosmic boat does not mean becoming a sexually repressed zombie!
