Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Hello Baba, it all depends upon our perpective of seeing things. If that swami was so realized and newly ended up in such a bliss state of ananda, he must have had a different way of seeing things. I dont reject the possibility of everything he said being correct and true. His words are symbolic though and hide meanings which we could analyze. For example when he says that he did nothing, he might have done a lot. Either he takes his enlightment as a gift of god or he did not identify himself with the actions he did, thus there was no ego nor action of his side involved. It is widely known that people who raise their kundalini or are on the spiritual journey are a bit weird. LOL. Practically, people do benefit more from practicing the spiritual techniques. They are free to practice and claim that god is practicing through them... as long as they practice ). So, we can use many ways to express the same things. The concepts behind them are more important in this case. Enlightment is not something that can be proved to anyone by the depth of specific knowledge. Only other enlighted people can recognize other as such. But we can use our instict and the little god hidden within us, to judge a teacher for example, before trusting him or accepting as one. So generally, small amounts of objective and practically useful knowledge, are much more apreciated than "wooden-language" and repetition of scriptures without understanding the true meanings.
