One day the Master asked, “What, in your opinion,
is the most important of all religious questions?”
He got many answers:
“Does God exist?”
“Who is God?”
“What is the path to God?”
“Is there a life after death?”
“No,” said the Master. “The most
important question is: ‘Who am I?’”
The disciples got some idea of what he was hinting
at when they overheard him talking to a preacher:
Master: “So then, according to you, when
you die your soul will be in heaven?”
Preacher: “Yes.”
Master: “And your body will be in the grave?”
Preacher: “Yes.”
Master: “And where, may I ask, will you be?”

Dear Dapa,
The quote I shared above reminds me of one of Sheikh Al Alawi's sayings: "There are two who know God, one who knows himself and one who knows Him directly. The one who knows himself is the greatest."
I suggest reading father De Mello's book "Awareness." It's his best work "live" plus it's available for free over the internet in ebook format.
Love,
Ananda |

Hey,
great post thanks Ananda,
i read "are you sleepwalking". its really challenged me to change the judgements i have of myself and others. After coming out of hospital i seem to have taken a step backwards to take a step forward.
i.e. more stability in the mind but more of a sleep walking mentality.
thanks again.
