Sounds abusive enough, but was he rather pointing this guy to investigate the source of the " you " (or me-entity) ? From one standpoint the " me " never came into existence, it simply doesn't exist; yet from another perspective it appears to have a relative existence and an origin. Confusing, contradictory.. well ask the dude called Nagarjuna he was master in switching standpoints at lightning speed, yet he was clear as daylight - free from all standpoints while accepting all viewpoints. The return trip of the " you " and the origin of " me " are they the same or different ? In What does the " me " arise and cease ? some thoughts to ponder..and while we're on it - is there re-incarnation or not ? if so what reincarnates ? A guy who goes by the name 'Easy' on the advaita forum mentioned that Ramesh B. once told him that he must have been into this sort of thing in the past, why else would he have been to India at such an early age ? Was Ramesh joking ? ~dave _______________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
