Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Many sages are adamant on this point: they experience a state of no separation while living in the phenomenal world of separation. So if you think you are a sage and still live as a separate person in thought, action and feeling, then perhaps you are not a sage yet. Maybe you are one who believes himself or herself as someone who understands what the state of a sage is, or who thinks he or she knows that there is no such thing as a sage.
