Guest guest Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 Daily Words of the Buddha September 2, 2002 To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to purify one's mind- this is the teaching of the Buddhas. Dhammapada 183 Namaste All,IMO, It is real whilst one is in it, as Sankara said, so there has to be a certain purification of the buddhi and vijnanamayakosa to enable one to understand the concepts and science of moksha. http://www.geocities.com/aoclery/Talkonpurification.doc It is fine to talk nondualy and deny our senses etc, but if we don't purify we will always be no more than verbal non dualists, vndists! For it takes a great amount of spiritual maturity to really understand the concept 'Who am I?' and know what to look for.....ONS..Tony. ===== 'What is Truth?' (Pilate to Jesus.) (Jesus answered with silence). http://www.geocities.com/aoclery Another interesting Jewish view. http://www.netureikarta.org/ Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.

There is nothing to understand. All concepts are bullcocky. At best, Pointers to Nothing, not even the idea of Nothing. Which can't be pointed to! ..

Hya EL, Wise statement, but I doubt whether you can convince Tony and others alike. The chances that such folks will ever get it, ie. those who have heavy investment in (second-hand) scriptural knowledge and (perspiring) sadhana , is slim to none. I myself didn't get it until UG delivered a devestating blow in a conversation during my visit to him in Gstaad some time ago. He immediately turned to me and exclaimed " Now, did you get it!
