going of the narrow path

[Guest guest]

yI am following this point mentioned

at the advatin club by Greg

 

it is a crucial point imo

 

as I know that as Greg point to the on

his page one requirement is to have a

burning desire for liberation

 

I say and see online and everywhere

that at this point many go astray

 

you have to want liberation to wake up,

or get enlightened but

 

YOU CAN NOT! GO FOR IT

 

the minute 'you' do that it goes to build

the small-self-ego: the android

what is amply demonstrated with the glow-heads and other self-proclaimed

deluded gurus and teachers online

 

It is all on a razors edge and all

razors have 2 sides and most fall

on the side of the android o the mind

 

and mind is the Lucifer the apple

we should not have

 

to derail us to test us and to keep the

gate toward god clean

 

the right view the right aim the right

ethics

 

because STRAIGHT is the way and

NARROW the gate what leads to Light

[life]

 

from Greg's;

 

Shankara's Qualification List

Adi Shankara, in his introductory advaita text TATTVA BODHA (Knowledge of

Reality/Truth) actually lists four qualifications for the study into the truth

of one's nature. Basically, Shankara is recommending a well-balanced approach to

inquiring into Truth.

 

 

1. Discrimination -- The ability to discriminate between the eternal and the

timebound.

 

2. Dispassion -- Dispassion for the enjoyment of the fruits of one's actions.

 

3. The Six Accomplishments --

Control of the mind and emotions

Control of the sense organs, restraining behavior Responsibility, ability to do

one's duty

 

4. Patience and forbearance towards pairs

of opposites such as heat and cold, pleasant and unpleasant

 

5.Trust in the words of the teacher and scriptures/teachings

Ability to focus on a single object of mind

 

**6. The burning desire for liberation
