Namaste toombaru, It isn't about advaita but it is more dvaita. Kwan Yin IMO being one's own Higher Self, and Grace is good karma...However one can still act in a dvaitic way and believe in Advaita---we have no choice really...ONS...Tony, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a world populated by gods and demons (concepts need opposing opposites) that mind creates and then seeks a sense of personal power by imagining those gods to be on their side.......and then develops techniques whereby the gods can be pleased in order to elicit their favor. There is nothing wrong with this... It is just mind creating a secondary world in which it will remain lost in dreams with a foreboding sense on incompletion. .............until somehow..in rare cases....it is able to apprehend its predicament....and become its own entirety. (All of this is said while praying to my personal gods to protect my grandchildren) LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
