Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Is this quote why it is particularly futile to criticize an awakened person's personality? Is this true?--Anita " Surrender, when it is final, instantly brings personal evolution to a halt because that individual then becomes a messenger of the divine. Whatever the motivation of the one who has taken that leap, the condition of the personality becomes fixed forever at the moment of surrender. That is why it is so important that the purification of the vehicle be sincerely and systematically cultivated--only then will the personality be released from the ego- driven desire to be somebody PRIOR to the catalytic event of unconditional submission to the Absolute.
