barney Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Janaka the man of wisdom (knowledge with feeling) plays the game of life but differently from the games played by those who remain deluded. The Self-Realised are not touched by virtue or vice, happiness or unhappiness, aversion or desire just as the sky is untouched by smoke or clouds. The Self-Realised are free souls beyond scriptural or social injunctions. Their acts emanate from their very own sense of Self with total awareness and do not therefore, neither sinful nor virtuous. They are unlabelled acts, perfect in themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilampoornan Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 does it mean that they are free to do prohibited acts, if so it is better to be bound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 For such people, there is nothing like prohibited or unprohibited. All the dualities have ceased. To give an analogy, rules of a game applies to those who play. The refree is not affected or effected by it. He is the witness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 It is often talked about the destination already reached but not about how to reach there. Just by changing our thinking, we can not reach the destination but needs rigours efforts of meditation. For rigirous meditation again we need to have either inborn taste of divine bliss or should suffer enough to receive a push towards divine bliss (atman).
