Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 B: Those who ridicule such are nothing less than fools. P: I have no problem with being regarded as a fool, but I won't plead guilty to trying to ridicule you. I think the role of emotions of joy, rapture, love, gratitude etc is a very important area of inquiry in realization. Most masters regard the seeking, or overvaluing of such emotions as another form of attachment to pleasure, and any attachment is a hindrance to freedom.
