Follow-up Qstn to #544--Definition of the term "causal"

[Guest guest]

Thank you Swamiji for teaching us that word Vinamrata. Your teachings

seem to be timing into a devotee's needs and readiness.

 

When you said the "Divine I has taken his or her mind into

complete absorption in the causal body" ... does "complete" indicate

one's mind is absorbed into the causal body without returning?

 

In your view is it possible or desirable to live one's life completely

outside the relative mind?

 

Peace and prosperity,

 

steve
