If one is not eating pudding, then one is no longer eating pudding.
What is the substance of the drool if not pudding?

Good morning AC! Another example may be the sausage vs the sizzle!

And a jolly good morning to you too Buzz.
The weather was unacceptable to go to town to pick up the item for me mum...wait...

Aww spring is busting out all over, I have this feeling that when it finally rains it will be relentless.

Don't worry I just like throwing out metaphors, once in a while something will stick. Kinda like the busted clock being right twice a day. Oops theres another one!!! I better go and mske hay while the sun shines!!

Greetings..

pretty much sum up most of
what is discussed in places like this?
So am I safe in assuming that the only proof of the pudding is in the tasting and if we aren't eating the puddimg, we are simply droolimg down our shirts?
Or did I read that wrong?

You are generally aware of my perspective, though the 'drooling' analogy is not a way i would describe those who "aren't eating the pudding"..

Be well..

Simply my meaning was the difference between the 'being' and the 'grasping'. It's one thing to have an awareness another when the mind grabs hold and installs it's significance into the mix.

Well said, Buzz. It's all the difference in the world.

You can't say things like that here Neville. Some people feel they know what oneness is. Go and have a word yourself.

Way to go Nev!! Hehe...

As silly as Advaitic discussion is, it is becoming more and more frequent as a form of dragging spiritual discussions about oneness and no self on and on and on and on and on and on.......it is a technique easily mastered and simply designed to bore your opponent to a state where physical death would be a prefered alternative to further discussion. Please help stamp out this form of human cruelty!!!!
