Acting, Believing & Being Like Brahman - Leads To Self Realization?

[Guest guest]

Whatever one thinks, that he becomes, for the source of imagination is

the omnipotent Self. One who believes that he is Brahman becomes

Brahman Itself. There is a story that a thief had by force of

circumstances to pretend to be a saint and he later on actually became

a saint. Even a Sattwika type of person, well established in religion

and virtue, would turn to be Tamasic and brutal in course of time if

he begins to act constantly the part of a demon in a drama. The

emotions that are roused when acting have got a lasting effect and

they affect the individual permanently. This theory is applied in the

Bhramara-Kita-Nyaya of Vedantic Meditation where the meditator affirms

his being Brahman and thus becomes Brahman actually.

If you want to be happy, act happy......

 

It's the "fake it 'til ya make it" principle.

act-u-all-y the acting is all pretty good in this stage

of life; however some folks take it way too seriously

and would kill and die to preserve their script.

 

eh?
