Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 If it sounds interesting, check out a wide variety of advaitic teachings/teachers (Zen, Ramana, Nisargadatta, U.G., J. Krishnamurti, other indian gurus etc) & look for the 'common thread' in all. It's a potential way to judge 'clarity' or 'understanding' in the absence of a Roshi or guru (or some overwhelming " THIS IS IT " type experience) to confirm it. Otherwise, it's easy to get stuck in some advaitic endless loop that " feels good " but may be quite far from " It. " Peace... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" same source " indicates that there is another source. hogwash. all teachings and all words fall short in nothing. and nothing is all there is Joe.
