Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 On one hand an interpretation of advaita points that once we realize our true identity, what is required for happiness can be had anywhere without effort or material possession. As elegant as it may sound, this view represents only one part of the human experience. On the other hand we have the fear that all our efforts and education in search of truth may not give happiness once we discover the non sugar coated version of reality. It takes tremendous courage to face the end of the personal dream before it's over. Our lives move between these two positions, being sweet personal something to " beingness. " The realization of one's identity may not be as sweet and the after effects of the bitter reality pill may not be as bad as we expected after all. hur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
