Well at least you got one thing right, haha.< nasrudin caught a "non-dualist" picking fruit in his orchard. "what are you doing?" he asked the thief. "nothing" said the cheeky guy, "the trees, me, the fruit - all is one! so it is just the unity enjoying its unity..." nasrudin beat him soundly with his stick. "what are you doing?!" screamed the non-dualist. "nothing, really" said nasrudin. "all is one - the stick, my hand, your ass... unity within unity! how can you say "i" am doing anything?" and kept trashing the bastard... >>And...............so what? You seem to miss the point of your own parable, lol.

You're probably just another pseudo-advaitin half-wit who thinks that quoting Mullah Nasrudin stories is a substitute for direct experience. __________________________ 'a-dvaitin' is the indian origin of the english translated term 'non-dualist'. how can one be 'pseudo' the non-existent? (advaita is the cessation/absence of individual existence and any other distinction, in spite of apperances. thus does not exist for those who see "existence" versus "nonexistence....) now, 'half wit'... hmmm.... half of what? "nasrudin, some call you wise, others an idiot... how do you call yourself?me?! i do not call myself. why should i? i AM myself" yosy (himself and no other) _______________________________ Yo go, Yo.
