Guest guest Posted August 12, 2001 Report Share Posted August 12, 2001 It's interesting to note the response that GodRealized can trigger. To take a neutral postion about his statement about being realized, is difficult. It engenders a feeling of self-righteousness, judgement, etc. Perhaps a self-realized being, living by his own rules of conduct, may post a website and e-mail us as he did. Hmmmm??? Didn't Jesus say, " I and my father are one. " ?...a statement that could be interpreted as a proud declaration of enlightenment to be scorned by " those in the know " . Whatever the case may be, it behooves me to watch for self-righteous judgements in myself. I know that my initial response was to ridicule and judge " GodRealized " and to immediately discredit him for his declaration when in actuality, it doesn't really make any difference to me whether or not he is enlightened. The important thing in this instance is to observe my " reaction " to his statement. I learned something new about me that can be an obstacle on the path. What difference does it make if he is enlightened or not? What difference does it make? I have my teacher; I trust my path. What need have I to ridicule him? So, that's what I got out of the whole deal. LOL!!! Chandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 Namaste CHandi That was a good reply. But it is also good to know that what Jesus revealed was to his chosen ones, not to the whole world.
