More on Advaitin, Gods & Moksha

[Guest guest]

Hari OM,

Subsequent to my mail to this enlightened list members yesterday, on

reflection, I wish to add the following:

1) Advaitins are Hindus who are on “Soul Enhancement Course” like some of the

academics doing post doctoral research. So their day to day external behavior

is not a clue to their inner thinking or soul development. For example, even a

senior academic may have an Hamburger at McDonald like most students, but that

does not mean he is at their same level in other ways. The rigorous nature of

Advaitin reasoning after review of existing scriptures, requires substantial

intellectual faculties and thus is not for lay man, though no one can

prevented from taking an interest in the subject.

 

2) Hinduism was always an all inclusive religion and culture even at the risk

of diluting the focus. It accommodated under a vast umbrella a spectrum of

thought process like a University offers various majors. The students share

same common behavior. Hinduism from the inception concerned itself with

development of Soul and may be the first “SOUL” university. One of the

advanced courses, some may even say, the most advanced level is Advaitin.

 

Pranams.

Namsaste All,

 

I would say that the above piece is true in the aspect of Hinduism.

However I am not a Hindu yet I am on the advaitan road. I consider

myself a follower of Sanathana Dharma. I don't think it is complicated

or difficult at all. There is only one soul in the universe, all else

is an entity or thought construct. There only is God, and that is

illusion in itself, ultimately. Even a child can understand that

everything is God, before its mind is filled with superstition, dogma,

belief systems etc. Once this has happened then only one in ten

million can understand advaita intellectually, says Nisargadatta.

 

Tony.
