Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 " His (UG's) words and images will infect your mind like a virus. " Steve. ------------------------------ Try it this way. " The mind " is nothing but belief systems. Starting with the first belief system " I am " . Now, what does a virus do? It eats away at stuff. Are you a belief system? If so, then you have plenty to be concerned about. If not, then you have nothing to be concerned about. So it all comes down to, " What am I, really? " ..

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hi Everyone, I see there is lot of discussion about Nisargadatta vs U.G. I have read (almost) the complete works of Nisargadatta and very little of U.G. They both essentially say the same. Lets take just one example. In one of his talks Nisargaddatta, rather at the end of it, asks the congregation " How many of you understood what I said " ?..Some people raise their hands. He tells them not to come back. And then he asks " How many people did not understand what he said " .? Rest of them raise their hands. He tells them not to come back. U.G. says the right Guru is somebody who is going to give you freedom from him. I can quote a lot more. Afterall, how much can you interpret nothingness.? It still remains as nothing.
