Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 I am aware of the venom that will come my way; but this being has survived much more then curses and hatred. As much value as i place in this group, even more dismay arises from the mis-use of some with a bit of knowledge and alot of conceit. Insulting and abusing members is not only non-helpfull but an insult to the True Masters and at least some of us who know we do not know all, but are sincere in our love for that part of non-duality that we do understand. Even worse is that this feeding frenzy of negitivity brings Judi to consume the blooded with her hatred in the guise of a misunderstood teacher. As a refuge of the ignorant, i result to quoting Nisargadatta: Did I ever tell you that you do not know and, therefore, you are inferior? Let those who invented such distinctions prove them. I do not claim to know what you do not. In fact, I know much less than you do....... So, bring it on, i can take it, but i will not confuse it as wisdom.

Nameste: john and by " i can take it " you mean - you won't dodge - you won't run away - you won't get upset - you won't get stuck on personal issues - you will answer patiently - you will show a real example of what should be a good behavior here right? i'll watch, i'll watch erix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Well said john, I would just like to add this quote from isa upanishad " .....Vidya (knowledge) might lead a person towards realizing the goal, but the people under the veil of vidya maya are difficult to convince about the nature of their ignorance. For, just by reading, hearing, or reasoning about the Truth they think and are convinced that they have realized the Self! Under this false sense of achievement they go on teaching and telling others, and also start behaving as if they have realized the Truth. These people without applying themselves to austerities, tapas, renunciation, and spiritual practices delude themselves and harm others as well. Therefore, it is said that those who pride themselves under the influence of vidya knowledge actually are pushed more and more into the darkness of ignorance. Therefore, it is said, " He who knows these two - both vidya and avidya together - attains immortality by transcending them...(Verse 11.)

If you get one drop of it anywhere on your skin, it sinks in and will never leave. It dissolves everything you thought you were, and offers nothing to replace it with! -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
