Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 Namaste All, The reason Gautama was called the Buddha was because he had a purified Buddhi. Yes we are talking of the awareness sheath again. This has to be purified to accept the reflection of the Atma to enable final realisation. Verbal non -dualism won't do this, Why? Because thoughts and vibrations are the same thing. Words can only describe ideas that have qualities or gunas; ie. the thought or idea of non-duality. So even 'Who am I?', is a flow of thought, and cannot be absolute. Seekers are looking for knowledge not seeking to realise what is ignorance. Only in a purified Buddhi can the 'Self', be realised, Moksha is not possible without this purification. Which naturally entails sadhana. Vibrations are thoughtlike, and as such prevent the purification of the Buddhi. Even the thoughtflow, 'I Am', is impeded by these vibrations. They are all individual and have to be removed or cleansed. Therefore one stream of thought at the mental level may be non-dual but there are myriads of others. This is why the Buddhi has to be purified otherwise one is left with a stream of non-dual thought, but moksha prevented by other vibrations. This is one of the reasons Bhakti is much simpler than the jnana path, or the more difficult Vndist. The cleansing is done by purification and surrender.
