Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'm reading " Duet Of One " commentary on the Ashtavakra Gita, by Ramesh Balsekar for about the 5th time, front to back since I got it about 5 weeks ago! I have to admit, it's " grabbed " me much more tightly than the Bhagavad Gita ever did. Ramesh's commentary is extraordinary. Other than " The Teachings of Ramana Maharshi " and " Spectrum of Consciousness " and " No Boundary " , both by Ken Wilbur, no book has ever resonated as this one has. I'm ordering " Back to the Truth " at the end of the month and based on comments about it, the book will serve as sort of a compendium, I think. Point of all the above, all the sources seem to indicate that at some point all practices just cease when one has the understanding. In the mean time I feel BOUND to practice and take that statement in the two ways it can be interpreted! Attached to practice, maybe. I'm wondering what would happen if I did stop asking " Who am I? " and related self-inquiry questions through out the day? I sort of get scared when I think of doing that! Have any of you stopped whatever " practice " you might have been doing before? Would like to hear from you if you did. I sort of intuit that at some point I'll have to stop--just not yet! I wonder sometimes if practice is a kind of addiction that the separate self loves....?
