Stephen - I guess you're caught up in how politely someone presents his ideas. Seems a silly criterion to me. Did you ever listen to how Nisargadatta spoke? This list was inspired by him - and he was often very definite about what he said. Buddha also. Jesus, even moreso. Truth isn't ambiguous, isn't a suggestion. It hits you over the head. It knocks you out. It reconstitutes you on its terms, not your own terms. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a silly criterion to me. You completely missed my point. I prefer people who are questioning, who are leaving things open because they know that there might not even be an ultimate answer. I prefer these from those who pretend that they are representing the ultimate truth but in reality are simply confused and afraid of this confusion. Besides that, I value respectfullness and sometimes even politeness. When you think masters who are hitting someone out of compassion are disrespectful you are way off. And moreover it does not give you the right to hit others... you will just create unnecessary bad feelings. Have you ever lived with a master? When one decides to live with an enlightened master one surrenders the ego to him, because he WANTS to be hit. Come down a little, Dan.
