Is discrimination the key for Self-Realization

[Guest guest]

You are right Tim and I will pass this on to

as well.

 

Discrimination is a key, but perhaps not the key, or

it may mean different things to different people. One

could argue that up to certain point discrimination is

needed, and then one surrenders to the Heart.

 

Approaches vary due to the inherent tendencies of

people. If one inquires about the nature of the

discriminator that precedes discrimination, the focus

of the energy shifts. Different perspectives don't

imply right or wrong, just different angles of

visions.

 

The advaita doctrine of "neti, neti" is based on a

sharp sense of discriminating the real from the

unreal.

 

Merging with Reality, the "I am" sense of

individuality itself gets lost, so discrimination and

choices, etc. become a moot point.

 

It is taught in Advaita Vedanta, that the sleep states

and waking states should be carefully analyzed and one

should see how that which is real and eternal

permeates all states of consciousness.

 

Being fully awake while being fully sleep is called

Nirvikalpa Samadhi. The mind along with its faculty of

discrimination, choices, and possibilities is resolved

back into its source.

 

Love to all

Namaste Harsha et al,

 

Yes Viveka/Vairagya is necessary but there are so many

interpretations at different levels. All really leading to the point

where one realises that there is nothing to discriminate on, only

your own attitude, and mental state. This leading to the eventual

result that nothing is happening at all.

 

Re: Patanjali. There is a danger of getting side tracked here if one

is not careful, especially as the texts were obviously written by

more than one person.........Om Sakti.......Saktidass.
