Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 How can I recognise a Sadguru or true Mukta Guru? First of all a True Guru will call you and you will know from inside...the heart..However they usually share some common signals. 1. Teach vegetarianism .....for Daya, Ahimsa and self purification. 2. Teach recognisable Teachings from Vedanta and other Muktas. All is One and the small 'I' is false. 3. Usually they are not over active and don't travel a lot if possible....Nowhere to go!!! 4. They teach a lot by silence like Dakshinamurthi.....and are not given to long road show discourses... 5. They do not write copiously..but may answer questions.....but not usually from dilletantes.. 6. Have the ability to answer obtuse questions without being tertiary educated... 7. You can usually feel their energy and they can give Diksha or initiation and Saktipat.... 8. They are usually not making, generating and selling Books, DVDs, and asking for donations. 9. They are not given to siddhis and miracles although things may happen around them. 10. Regard all beings as being equal including animals. 11. Sometimes grant Moksha to animals......and advanced humans... 12. They usually prefer to more reclusive than expansive.... 13. Demonstrate or advise some kind of sadhana...and meditation. Those road show gurus are not usually Muktas and although do good work for everybody and themselves cannot impart initiation as only a Mukta with power of the Self can do that... The best way is to become a mukta oneself.....Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong, Dan ! The world of consciousness is the world we are communicating and sharing. It is this sharing which builds up and constitutes society. You are the world and the world is you. You must know this expression of K, Dan, because already since 10 years you are a member of the Krishnamurti list.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Visitor: Is the relationship between the Guru and the disciple similar to telepathy?  Maharaj: Yes, telepathy can function if the receptivity is good. Some have a buffalo like skull; no amount of thrashing affects that dull animal.  V: Would Maharaj speak about the Guru and disciple relationship?  M: The Guru links the relationship of the disciple with Self-knowledge and the disciple nourishes it. The Guru links you to Self-knowledge, that is you Guru, nourish it. The knowledge ‘you are’ is the Guru, once linked don’t disturb the relationship by identifying with the body. Once a woman is married to a man, it’s done, each must behave accordingly. Once linked with the Guru, you must not identify, with the body. The knowledge ‘you are’, be there with full devotion, the knowledge ‘I am’ is not the body.

You who said everything is consciousness, and consciousness is its contents. You've never followed through on what you yourself said. If you followed through on it, you'd realize that all your comments about what others are doing, are comments about the contents of your own consciousness. And the comments also are contents of your consciousness. But although you can say the words, you can't actually see this. Because you are invested in having a complaint about what others are doing. Never realizing that the complaint is about you, and the complainer and that which is complained about are not apart from each other - as they are equally contents of Werner's consciousness. - D - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You who said everything is consciousness, and consciousness is its contents. You've never followed through on what you yourself said. If you followed through on it, you'd realize that all your comments about what others are doing, are comments about the contents of your own consciousness. And the comments also are contents of your consciousness. But although you can say the words, you can't actually see this. Because you are invested in having a complaint about what others are doing. Never realizing that the complaint is about you, and the complainer and that which is complained about are not apart from each other - as they are equally contents of Werner's consciousness. - D - true, D but don't forget that " Werner " is also only of the content " D " during the time " D " is involved into an appearent " Werner " etc .... in fact....there is Nobody you could ever explain this your consciousness/content issue. .... except it's part of this your worldly business....means, of worldly existence.....in selling such spiritual ideas and concepts... .... just like the one who is selling some fresh salads on the market... ....

You who said everything is consciousness, and consciousness is its contents. Hey Dan, Repeating a lie again and again won't change it into truth. We had that already but because your mind seems reluctant and stubborn to remember what I really said here it is again: I never said 'everything is conscsiousness' but I repeatedly said 'consciousness is all there is' and with a bit good will and pondering you will reaslize that there is a vast difference between both statements. > > You've never followed through on what you yourself said. > > If you followed through on it, you'd realize that all your comments about what others are doing, are comments about the contents of your own consciousness. > > And the comments also are contents of your consciousness. > > But although you can say the words, you can't actually see this. > > Because you are invested in having a complaint about what others are doing. > > Never realizing that the complaint is about you, and the complainer and that which is complained about are not apart from each other - as they are equally contents of Werner's consciousness. Dan, surely there is just my own consciousness, we don't have to discuss that. But for a nondual guy without any blood in his veins it is very difficult to allow a bit commonsense: I myself now open the door very wide and say hello world, hello trees and meadows and clouds, hello wind touching my skin, hello friends and neigbours, hello, hello, hello - I embrace you all. And you poor philosopher, Dan, selfrighteous and totally stuck in nondual phrases, you never will understand what commonsese is.

D: Werner, saying all is consciousness doesn't change the point I'm making about your mode of response. You respond as if you are addressing someone existing outside of your consciousness who is being arrogant, as if this weren't a content of your consciousness. As all is consciousness, when you complain (for example you repeatedly complain about others' arrogance) - your complaint is about the arrogance arising in your own consciousness, which " being all " as you say, is the arrogance. The arrogance is a content of your consciousness, and you object to it as if it is coming from outside of you and is not you. > > You've never followed through on what you yourself said. > > > > If you followed through on it, you'd realize that all your comments about what others are doing, are comments about the contents of your own consciousness. > > > > And the comments also are contents of your consciousness. > > > > But although you can say the words, you can't actually see this. > > > > Because you are invested in having a complaint about what others are doing. > > > > Never realizing that the complaint is about you, and the complainer and that which is complained about are not apart from each other - as they are equally contents of Werner's consciousness. > > > Dan, surely there is just my own consciousness, we don't have to discuss that.

D: Embrace the arrogance you attribute to beings outside of you. > And you poor philosopher, Dan, selfrighteous and totally stuck in nondual phrases, you never will understand what commonsese is. > > D: The self-righteousness you object to is a content of your consciousness, Werner. You repeatedly locate it outside of you, as if you could address it as the property of another being existing separately from you. Your friend Krishnamurti repeatedly suggested that you are the greed, you are the arrogance, you are the fear -- so stop avoiding. Yet, although you claim to respect the teachings of Krishnamurti, you repeatedly place the locus of arrogance and conceit (which are fear) outside of yourself. With lots of condenscending personalized remarks - which you clearly enjoy. What you enjoy is having a defense against the fear (and conceit and arrogance) that you are. Consider that the deflection and pretense can stop. You can now understand that it's not a matter of parroting words and concepts from others, like Krishnamurti. As he said, this is urgent, the world is burning - the time is now. Clearly you enjoy using online forums to find ways to put down others. There are many who go no further than to relieve their frustration at the expense of imagined others, who they make a point to demonstrate their superiority to. Your remarks repeat a theme of how you're superior, how others are arrogant, how others aren't as smart as you. Of course, this is as far as many can go with the teachings they have read. They use whatever they know as a way to make a demonstration of their superiority, in one way or another. So, I don't think you are unique in resorting to this kind of defensiveness. And maybe this is as far as you can take it. Maybe here you are satisfied and will rest in complacency. Of course, I realize that you don't listen. Your mode of response is basically saying over and over " I'm not listening. This is about me, and you're not worth listening to. You are full of nondual nonsense, etc., etc. " I'm not kidding myself that you hear what is being said. And I know you will deflect what has been said here, and treat it as if you are dealing with someone else existing apart from you. So you won't know first-hand what it is to be " consciousness that is all " or to understand that there is nothing you are dealing with that isn't the contents of your own consciousness, including the " one called Werner " who is " speaking out " about others. As for me, I'm fully aware that the " Werner " I'm addressing is my own construction. And whatever I say to you about this is for the fun of voicing the fact that the " you " I'm addressing is nothing other than a configuration of " my own awareness " or " consciousness " as you like to call it. - D - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is. And although its obvious, it's defended against nonstop. Why? To keep a personal sense of existence going. To keep a stance vis a vis the imagined other. To keep " me " as " mine " and " not yours. " My words keep you away from me, and me away from you. And that is the payoff. With all the frustration involved in me vs you being misunderstood, and projected outward as " something that is wrong with you.

Hangs out on list(s) devoted to 'nonduality' and complains about 'nondualists', like someone hanging out at a car dealership and complaining about automobiles.

Nisargadatta put it this way: " As the sun knows not darkness, so does the self know not the non-self. It is the mind, which by knowing the other, becomes the other. Yet the mind is nothing else but the self. It is the self that becomes the other, the not-self, and yet remains the self. All else is an assumption. Just as a cloud obscures the sun without in any way affecting it, so does assumption obscure reality without destroying it.
