Namaste All,

Harsha thanks for the adwaitin post, how do you join

Tony's answer: Finally some straight truth!!!!!!!!

 

My questions that I recently asked, I already knew

'my', answers to. I wasn't searching as such. Thanks

anyway to those who responded.

 

I wanted to see where the people on the list were

coming from. They were asked to provoke discussion

thats all.

 

It is a fault or judgement of mine that I don't seem

to be able to fully trust people unless they go

further than words. For example if someone spoke

spiritually to me for days and then went and ate a

steak. I wouldn't be impressed for it would indicate

to me, either no work on samskaras or a total lack of

awareness and compassion for the animal. Jivanmuktas

notwithstanding.

 

Yet I don't condemn my wife who sits across the table

from me eating meat. This is where she is at, and it

is perfect for her. She is making no claims about

being, realised or enlightened or other spiritual

claims. Some of my children eat meat some don't it is

their choice, but they make no claims of some kind of

knowledge that is in the minority/elite of the planet.

 

I understand Adwaita pretty well, that all is one, it

is an appearance, a projection and finally it never

did happen at all. There is nothing to find out or

see. Moksha sees absolutely nothing!

 

However as Sankara said, 'it is real while you are in

it'. We have to deal with it.

 

I suppose what I am saying is one should put one's

money where one's mouth is or it is just bullshit!

 

Warm fuzzies are not enough, only the acid test.

 

I personally have a long way to go also, but I am

working on it, despite lapses.

 

I tend to think that there are few Jesus's and Buddhas

on the planet. Which also seems to be the opinion

expressed by known sages.

 

Love and Om Namah Sivaya, Tony.
