So, this person moves toward the good. all of his actions will be expressed with lot of love and his understanding will make him be more open, patient and true. Now, if i'll see a person who is exacly the oposite of what i have described above, i defenitely won't think of staying in his shadow.. i will probably learn to not be that way, but that's all.. so, in my opiniion, an enlightened person should be good.. mira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 So true! Nightmares are just dreams, but who in their right mind would like them better than beautiful dreams or no dreams at all.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 mira, you make me laugh : ) you can never judge by appearances. you are describing a 'good human'. have you ever heard of a sage called an avadhoot? It literally means crazy adept. he's a kind of sage that comes to this world to tear your world apart...to see what you believe, your systems, everything you stand up for and tears you all to pieces. - " Athanor " <athanor <Nisargadatta > Sunday, January 26, 2003 3:36 AM copperbasil > not necessarily. > > > > > **** Maybe an enlightened person is the one who can give all the responses > full of love, with patience, always the truth, with kindness.. the one who > accepts the thing exacly how they are, and who can spread good mood around. > > mira > > ** well,than let's look at a diferent side of the meaning of enlightenment.. let's say that one person starts becoming interested of the inner life. little by little he/she starts seeing what is bad and wrong and rough in his life (supposing that good and well is the best part of one's life and everyone longs to be that way)..

But does good mean agreeable, even pleasant all the time? Sometimes, what's good for us is the hardest, bitterest pill to take. Best wishes, Pete Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
