(Here we are trying to understand " Adavita " - One without a second -

to know " Aham Brahma Asmi " .....

Does the process of learning - removal of Ignorance - Dis-Covering -

lead one to " create " boundaries ? like Hindu and non Hindu?

How can process of learning - moving from " bondage " to " freedom "

that is " Moksha " relate with walls around?)

 

Pai-ji ! You are absolutely right ! In the bigger scheme of things ,

there is no demarcation like Hindu /non hindu , male/female ,

brahmin/shudra , advaitin/dwaitin , shankara advaitin/tirumular

advaitin etc etc etc etc .....

 

your post brought to mind the following verse from my favorite poet

Ibn Arabi

 

Marvel! a garden amidst the flames.

My heart has become capable of every form:

it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks,

and a temple for idols and the pilgrim's Ka'bah,

and the tables of the Torah and the book of the Qur'an.

I follow the religion of Love: whatever way Love's camels take,

that is my religion and my faith.

 

furthermore , read what Poet and philosopher Khalil Gibran says

 

" Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;

For love is sufficient unto love.

 

When you love you should not say, " God is in my heart, " but

rather, " I am in the heart of God. "

 

Yes! Religion of Love ! What a better place the world would be if

there were no such demarcations or divisions like hindu /muslim,

christian/jew , etc etc etc ..

 

Paiji , there is a verse in Patanjali yoga sutra which goes like

 

viparyayah mithyajnanam atadrupa pratistham viparyaah

 

Incorrect perception is based on false information and on perception

of what is not the true form.

 

Yes! We are all guilty of this from time to time - Viparayah!

Incorrect perception! in simple English , this is called 'prejudice'

 

paiji , sometimes i wish i were a child like my granddaughter ( now

8 months old) - she is completely free , innocent and always happy

and smilling ! i am now 64 and mind is cluttered with all this

useless knowledge and information - a storehouse of prejudices and

peconceived notions - concept of sin etc! i cannot even breathe

freely!

 

IN TRUE RELIGION , YOU SHOULD NEVER FEEL 'BOUND' - IF ANY RELIGION

BINDS YOU , THAT IS NOT A TRUE RELIGION!

 

I WISH I COULD FORGET EVERUTHING AND START ALL OVER !

 

Love and regards
