Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 In matters of the Spirit, secrecy is never a good idea. Secrecy inhibits self-examination, discrimination and dispassion. It promotes vices and other obstacles to spiritual realization. The adherent of secrecy has something to hid, something to be ashamed of, something that is preventing an upward progression to Self-Realization. Besides, there is no such thing as secrecy to even the mildly aware person. One's unproductive behaviours and words are open to all. Negativity is apparent to all (especially to animals). The Guru or any spiritually advanced person knows the intimate conscious and subconscious thoughts and urges of the aspirant, even those which the aspirant is unwilling to admit or is unaware of. The road to Self-Realization depends on discipline and purification. Secrecy inhibits both of these. , "childofdevi" <childofdevi> wrote: > Hmm... very interesting.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 there is something to be said in favor of secrecy. Secrecy is advocated because it helps you hold dear what you have and then helps in developping. Not the type of thing secrecy has become. just4amusement <just4amusement wrote:In matters of the Spirit, secrecy is never a good idea.
