lol - I consider it to be a lot of judgement. That is all.

 

Don't ask the mind.

 

Everything is fine before you think about it.

 

Your feelings are not you. You cannot get rid of them.

 

See them in the moment as not you and you are free.

It is if they give you something that stops your suffering.

I am very patriotic and never assist people. (a joke)

Loss of a loved one.

If you can only find one, then you are selfish, but that's a good

place to start.

I take it you, Tony, you are a half-empty kind of guy. (glass half

Namaste Shawn,

 

I made no judgements quite the contrary actually.

 

I think the problem here is your understanding of the English

language is different from mine. Sentimentality to me has nothing to

do with past events that's nostalgia. Devotion is attachment that

may or may or not become Love. If it doesn't become love then it

isn't devotion or bhakti. Entertainment--you didnt provide an answer

really. Your answer on grief indicates that you missed the point

that love and attachment are not the same, and grief is really a

self indulgence for nobody dies. Condescension can never be charity

for charity should be nishkarma karma. You didn't get my point on

entertainment either. It was actually J Krishnamurthi's point. You

didn't understand my point on the relationship between Ahimsa and

inactivity/realisation. You didn't understand that if there has to

be a reason for love--it isn't. For love is the Sakti and is

everything.

In fact the problem may not be English at all, but my couching in

Vedantic ideas, which you may not be au fait with. However I don't

have the inclination to argue semantics with you. Hope this explains

it a little better than my one liners..............ONS..Tony

Forgive me if i disagree. You see, I see that all reactive

emotions are nothing but love in disguise.

Who can?

Thanks for making my point- so sentamentality is LOVE

condescention is LOVE

grief is Love ,etc.....

So everything is a reason because it IS LOVE ITSELF....

 

what a relief..

 

thank you,

~Shawn

Namaste,

Ultimately for the realised soul everything is Love, however without

that Moksha we have to deal with a certain validity. Otherwise it is

just vndism..........ONS..Tony

Congratulations Tony. :-)

 

You've got it all figured out.

 

You've reduced the infinite to the shapes and patterns

that then emerge from your mind.

 

Regards,
