Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 People have their favourites, in songs and such. They have favourite teachings and teachers too. You could almost say that those seekers are prejudiced about the matter and the master who instructs them on those matters. This is just a symptom of a deeper state of affairs. They assume things about the teacher and the instruction.. and that little assumption of theirs is the real parent of that prejudice. The people on the path are just the victims of their very own prejudice...the symptom, as I've said, of their underlying disease. But this of course assumes that they have a choice in the matter and a will to even make that choice. Who knows eh? ......bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be a problem.. a little rub, with either one of these loves and the trainings in them as diciplines...they may if not utilized and enjoyed correctly, prevent the realization and enjoyment of higher perceptions. Be Warned! my teacher always said. ...........bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
