advait.

[Guest guest]

Namaskar,

In the ultimate reality, there is no difference

between both paths. Actually all paths are always individual.

There is no a collective realization, neither the

collective liberation. People are trying to speculate and discuss

matters

which are highly symbolical and metaphorical. No one

except realized souls can say what is true and the realized cannot

express it either,

since it is is beyond the intellectual perceptionn (

this is why poetry is so handy and popular within the Great Masters

...).

The true, spiritual experience starts where all

kosas ends and periphery of knowledge is transformed into pure experience.

Could you describe the taste of an orange without

tasting it ? and when you finally tasted this

specific fruit, can you describe it's taste ( in

true sense ) to someone who never ate it. Most of the scholars and

practitioners are only

speculating, but only few actually tested this Ambrosia

of the Ultimate Reality. Example: My wife's relative is a very famous,

world class

sanskrit and religious studies, scholar , dean

of the Asian Studies Department in one of the most prestigious US

Universities, but his

spiritual realization is minimal if not existing at all.

These type of examples are countless within so called pundits. It

is useless to talk about

all those matters for the sake of the philosophical

speculations. It is better to spend this time on practice and

service to all living beings.

I suggest to enjoy this beauty of creation, serve and

love all unconditionally and surrender to the inner and outer Mahasatguru,

who resides within all of us.

In Him,

Trilokesh

I do not know if this is relevant, but at one of

our discussions my

husbands spiritual guru said, that advaita and dwaita were more

individual pathways. ie is to say a shaiva siddanti or some one who

is

inot some yoga sadhana or the other tends to look from within outside,

this is also the basis for advaita while there a set of people who

look from out within you can call this bhakti, dwaita, vaishanva

siddantha. he also mentioned that there was more romance and ritual

involved in the vaishnava prakriti as compared to theshaiva.

I hope i have not treaded on anyone's toe.
