Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 93 And again, "omprem" ))))))))))))))))))))))). U won`t miss a chance, yeah? Your "astonishing discovery" of the fact that "enjoyment and happiness does not come from the outside but from turning away from the outside and focusing within" is new for U, but kaulas knew that long ago LOL. Already Abhinavagupta cited the agamic verse "Anando brahmaNo rUpaM tachcha dehe vyavasthitam" which later appears in Kularnava-tantra. Before criticising something U have to understand it first. However it is difficult, i understand. So much mental strain is of no use for "yogins", yeah? So it is easy to go on comdemning that what U have neither knowledge of nor experince in. Finally, U are exactly wrong about desire. But this topic was already discussed recently, i don`t want to type all the stuff again. It is NOT needed to get rid of desire itself . Remember, we are discussing soteriology and doctrine of Kaula- tantrism. Maybe some hinayana buddhists or some other disagree, but we are not dealing with them now. MAYBE it is possible to reach same goal through unnatural, hypocritic and stubborn mathods of suppressing desires and straining oneself with unnecessary ascetism - MAYBE; but Prakriti is a the organic part of Godhead and not some kind of "devil", why to fight against Her?

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Your ranting emotionalism is an excellent example of why a bit of discipline (i.e. sadhana) has to be directed toward reining in desire in order to move from fear to bliss. from negativity to positivity, from darkness to light, from restlessness to peace, from ignorance to knowledge and from earth to heaven and from mortatlity to immortality.
