Namaste,

 

I will add to the above by saying we are all Jnanis now but many

don't know it. Mostly as they are waiting for some type of experience

from their fantasies and don't recognise the real thing--so to speak.

This is because they are expecting some participation from an ego,

and this interferes in the purity and simplicity of the event. It is

not an event of ego mind or action---or even consciousness it

is 'Awareness'...but it ends due to samskaras and the mind wanting to

get on with its game of life........In the end result it is all

illusion but it helps sometimes to use a thorn to remove a

thorn...Cheers Tony.
