Note - Read this with KOHAM - WHO AM I ?

NOT THIS ,NOT THIS appears a negative approach to life. This statemnt is actually a negative appreciatin of NOT THIS, NOT THIS. Macualay was not the only man who misunderstood such great truths and called us lazy, lotus eaters.
Not that only foreigners had no intellect or patience to follow our Vedic truths, our own intellectuals fed on western philosophy fail to benefit. ; Nehru for one; Naipul for two .
Maayaa is another word totally midsunderstood.MODERN SCIENCE CALLS OUR ANCIENT SCIENCES OF AYURVEDA, ASTROLOIGY ETC WITHOUT ANY SCIENTIFIC BASIS.
A brilliant student when told -Not this , not this, he shoots back -if not this then - WHAT IS IT ? THAT BURNING QUESTION ONE HAS TO START WITHiIN THE HEART BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER.
We in this blessed land should realise we ride high on the broad shoulders of spiitual giants. We need not feel let down by our elders. We need not feel ashamed to do what our elders thought of and did." Read, try to understand , put to practise and verify,"says KALIDASA. EVEN AFTER VERIFICTION, VEDANTIC TEACHERS TOLD US- ACCEPT IT TENTATIVELY UNTIL YOU REACH THE TRUTH. THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY DID NOT END IN FINALITY WITH EINSTEIN. Even Ramana Maharshi had pointed flaw in it, though not a matriculate himself !
Deeper you dive , more precious gems you collect. More and more you study , the less and less known aspects of a thing you come to know. Collecting talking points, will not make you wise.
OUR SEERS began lookong for GOD outside. HYMNS AND PRAYERS. Vedas .Not satisfied they turned within. Result : we have UPANISHADS.
We walk ,we talk , we go to the moon and such statements shows we identify ourselves with the body. In sleep there is no body . Discarding the body as NOT THIS I AM is the first shackle to be thrown off your back. "I am the body ," is the originsl sin man suffers from. All problems begin with this sin.( Adam also committed this sin: eating the forbidden apple is next in.
We think, we compose poetry and such statements shows we identify ourselves with the mind. IN sleep you feel no pains you went to sleep with as there is no mind to feel. YET YOU FEEL HAPPY. Cast of the mind as NOT THIS.
SEEK THE REAL I THAT YOU ARE , WHO WAS PRESENT IN SLLEP TOO AND WAS HAPPY BY ITSELF ,IN ITSELF.
