What about non-dual Inuits, Mayans, Maoris? I know non-dual Jews, Catholics and African-Methodists. Truth is truth and it is glimpsed by many of us. Living it is another matter.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2000 Report Share Posted March 7, 2000 Namaste All, Based on Maharaj's % s we have about 60,000 people who understand advaita vedanta, or non-dualism, on the planet. My guess is that 'realised', persons is about 1 in a billion, or about 6, based on statements by sages. The North American share is about 1 or perhaps 2. I notice Jodyr is saying Jerry is a realised person, and now she is commenting on what realised is. Jerry you never commented on her assertion about you! Is this because you don't discuss these things or what? My question is, 'are you a jivanmukti?', if not please correct your deluded disciples. This is the problem with too much education, too many thoughts and each one a step away from the Self.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2000 Report Share Posted March 7, 2000 Hello Tony, The Universe is for me Realised, or a jivanmukti. The strange thing is when i ask it to teel me if it is not realised, it does really answer back. Antoine Tony O'Clery wrote: Jerry you never commented on her assertion about you!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2000 Report Share Posted March 7, 2000 Hi Tony, There are so many definitions now of words like realization and realized, enlightenment and enlightened, etc... so many very different conceptions of what these terms mean... that the words themselves have become relatively meaningless. To use one of these words now, you really have to explain what you mean by it... and then immediately someone will want to argue about your definition. ) Why do you care so much about categorizing the state of everyone else's spiritual progress?
