Do the Vndists follow a sadhana?/Greg!

[Guest guest]

Hi Gloria,

 

Yes, this is partly the point I was getting at - the connotation is a

charged term, like an insult. Maybe Tony is using it that way, but it

doesn't carry that same weight in this list, and in most places in the

modern world...

 

Like you point out - there's also the sound of the word! People who

disagree with me are nast(y)kas!!

Greg,

 

The dictionary may be restrictive to the literal meaning of nastikas. When

I did a google search, it turns out almost any religion that does not

uphold strict Brahmanism and the Vedas was considered by them to be

nastika. This includes Jainism, Buddhism, etc...it was pretty much a

cultural,caste thing originally.

 

Obviously, this sort of term has many possible implications!

Are all Vndists "nasty nastikas"?? This is all so bad its getting hilarious.

Dear Tony,

 

I'm not sure what's your definition of a verbal nondualist?

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is

Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality

of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge,
