Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I have been reading this word a lot lately in postings. Since most advaita folks tend to be psychological i looked up the definition. What do we mean by compulsive? Do we agree on this definition? Psychology. a strong, usually irresistible impulse to perform an act, esp. one that is irrational or contrary to one's will. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/compulsion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
