Oh for goodness sake. On the other hand, I appreciate all of this for

taking my mind off of the fact that my entire family is not speaking

to me, a significant lesson in surrendering. Surely it is a human

trait to want to have the last word, but I wonder if Shankara would

have characterized/judged people as letter aware, more aware,

moderately aware. I have always been drawn to eastern spirituality

traditions, in part because this type of judgement and

weighing/dividing people up is absent. (Of course, I know about the

rajasic, tamasic, and sattvic types...but this, I believe is a bit

different.) "Lesser aware" indicates an evaluation, and while saints

and sages may be well aware of a person's position on the

evolutionary path, I have not come across any that would point a

finger at them, evaluate them, or condem them. I am hoping that, as I

read on in this post, this last comment will have been the end of

this. Let's get back to sharing our own experiences with one another,

shall we? Shanti ~ Linda
