That pointer applies also to " others " -- the words of " others, " the

views of " others " ... A pointer to " turn to oneself " (words used

loosely) rather than focusing on externals like a Guru, or scriptures.

If " no-doer " is assumed, there's no choice in the matter... either

a " life path " goes a certain way or it doesn't. Did anyone here

choose to choose to ? :-)

 

Also, " no I " whether one is perceived or not, it couldn't depend on

anything at all -- what " happens, " " happens " -- like it or not.

 

Cheers,
