Guest guest Posted November 15, 1999 Report Share Posted November 15, 1999 Dear Shri Jaishankar, Let us end the current discussion. The senses are tempted by various pleasures, which increase ignorance; In the same way, the mind is tempted by argumentation. To continue too long with vainly airing disagreements, the mind is distracted, and tamas begin to predominate. So let us stop now, and let Sattva be the atmosphere here on this list. If you feel that what I am saying is causing people harm, it is your right to believe that, and to say it anytime you want. However, it is not your right or ability to prevent me from saying what I want to say. I hope you can accept that. On the same note, it is not my right to try to change your viewpoints, unless you invited me to do this. So at this point, this discussion is becoming a matter of the ego, and is unproductive and simply disruptive to the atmosphere of the list. You may continue to answer my posts, but I will not be responding, because the temptation of the mind to increase its view of dualities is only increased. Vivekananda speaks of the "interminable net of vain argumentation," and this being a strong temptation of the mind. It can even become an addiction. So I must stop now, and wish you only peace and love. Harihi OM, Tim ----- "Truth is One; Sages call it by various names."
