Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Hello, 1. If you were to get a splinter in your foot, do you remove it? Or do you realize there is no foot, no splinter, no pain. Ramana sat to close to the fire once and severely burnt his legs. 2. I am told you non-dual types believe in nothing. Do you believe in yourself? If you only accept your awareness, do you accept mine? If you accept mine, you must accept God. That in which we live, move and have our being. Qualified non-dualism. 3. Do you accept qualified non-dualism? Or do you only practice non- dualsim? If so, do you have sex, enjoy food, etc.? The difference between tasting sugar and being sugar. Do you act non-dual(ie Ramana) or are you a hipocrit and really practice qualified non- dualism(ie papaji). Act non-dual as well as talk non-dual.

At the absolute level, there is only One. At the phenomenal level, you, I, my property, your property, etc. are all valid. I cannot mix up the levels and say your property is also mine. Only the attitude has to be advaitic, i.e., non-dualistic. Non- dualism is attitudinal and is not to be recommended at the phenomenal level. The attitude itself has to start from saying "Your sorrow is my sorrow", "Your pain is mine" and when that attitude slowly sinks into our system then the vision of oneness will begin to unfold.
