Don't make dream effort; Wake Up, instead. > Sat Nam, NS Namaste,NS, First a different point, in my previous message, I said Deva Prema, I meant Deva Premal and Miten. My daughter used her chant of the Gayatri at her wedding dinner, as a Grace. Now to NS. It is good that you are questioning, statements by Sages even. However you are not looking into the background and lead up to these statements. This is what I call Vndism or 'verbal non dualism 'without Sadhana. Much cleansing of mind sheaths is required through Sadhana to be able to realise what one already has an inkling of. Even Ramana alludes to a certain mental maturity to be able to even wish to practice self enquiry. You are right in what you say but you are ignoring the fact it is mind talking and full of samskaras and vasanas, which have to be totally removed and Vindism won't cut it.............ONS...Tony.
