Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
NIRMALA: Some people call me the metaphor man, I like
metaphors.
WIZARD: Our friend, Ganesan, Ramana Maharshi's grand
nephew, left us with a wonderful quote one day, and it was “every
action is perfect”. And boy, that just takes care of everything.
NIRMALA: Yes, because it all gets included. Then you can still
distinguish how perfect, how true, how important, different
actions or thoughts are. Of course you quickly find out that most
thoughts aren't that important, aren't very real. But they still have
some reality, the simple thought of remembering where you live
has some reality, some significance, just not very much in the
more cosmic scheme of things.
TRIP: If somebody asks me what's your radio show about, then
the short answer is I give them is radio Satsang. And I read on
your website, you had a really wonderful explanation of the true
meaning of Satsang. Can you share that?
NIRMALA: It's in line with that we've just been saying. I say that
Truth is what exists, Truth is what's always here, it's everything
that we experience. So we all have this capacity to experience
Truth, and ultimately to discriminate Truth, ultimately to realize
that that's what we are also, that we are that same light or Truth or
oneness. Satsang is that recognition, and the gathering together
for that recognition. Satsang is a gathering together for the Truth.
WIZARD: It's profoundly affirming.
NIRMALA: Yes.
TRIP: I've got a lot of questions for you. This is just a fun
question, just to get to know you a little bit, but in several places in
your writing you talk about desire, and you use the example of the
desire for the perfect lover, I saw that in several places. I know
that for me and my storyline that was definitely part of it. I was
looking for that perfect mate, was that part of your storyline too?
