Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Some spiritual seekers are like food enthusiasts... Sufism, Zen, Tao, Christianity, Hinduism, Devotion... they want to sample them all and they want to rave about them all! Nothing wrong with That! Yes, Italian, Indian, Mexican, French, Chinese all cuisine is Great... But, nonduality/self-realization is 'ONLY' about knowing the 'tongue'! ....it is a Mistake to confuse it with 'one of the cuisine'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling somewhat hungry, he sat down and looked over the menu.. + Tourist: $5 + Broiled Missionary: $10.00 + Fried Explorer: $15.00 + Baked Democrat or Grilled Republican: $100.00 The cannibal called the waiter over and asked, 'Why such a price difference for the Politician?' The cook replied, " Have you ever tried to clean one? They're so full of shit, it takes all morning. (stolen from 11-11 group.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
