Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 Wouldn't you know it but this bloke lives 10 minutes from my house!! So yesterday afternoon I turned up on his doorstep to speak vedanta. He was surprised at first but he let me in for a chat. Three things he said stood out. One was " if one tries to find a reference point to the question who am I? one cannot find it " . The second thing was " There is no center therefore no circumference " , and the third thing was " you are being lived, relax and let it happen " . He said many other things that make me think he has a very good understanding of non duality, but I don't know if he is fully realized. Another thing he said was you cannot grasp that with the mind you can only Be that, and you are that anyhow, so just relax. His main advice was just question and have a look. Like when you meditate, who is meditating and what for? Another thing he said was look at the resistance from the point of non resistance, hence no struggle!!!, just watch it. Anyway it was a good meeting and I'll probably go again today. have a nice day --- Mario Laing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
