Guest guest Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 Hello Tony & all, Just a comment here. I have heard of such accusations in the past. i am not for or against Sai Baba, but from a non-dual perspective, this is just another distraction for the mind to become involved/ travel with; to get involved with the world of Maya and take ANY appearance for the Real. It's Cosmic Illusion Theatre. Just another image appearing on the screen. Don't be fooled : ) ! Namaste to All & Everything, ~jessica - "Tony O'Clery" <aoclery Friday, September 22, 2000 10:08 AM Truth will out, its been a long fight! Namaste All, For your own information----ONS Tony.

No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
