Tony-How to enhance your awareness sheath,

[Guest guest]

Praying to a "divine mother" (or any other avatar or mythological

Hindu god or goddess) is dualism. i don't see the difference between

that and praying to Jesus Christ in conventional Christianity.

 

The "me" is strengthened... illuminate *my* intellect and dispel *my*

ignorance, make *my* intellect serene and bright. Utterly self-

centered, and the word "enlightened" does not belong anywhere near

such an egoic petitionary prayer.

 

Vedanta means "End of the Veda." In other words, the end of

Vedic 'knowledge' and the coming of the Upanishads -- also known as

Advaita Vedanta or *nondualism*.

 

If you want to preach dualism here Tony, i guess that's ok, but i

don't see how it is on-topic or has anything to do with "truth."

 

Namaste,
