The Father principle provides Purpose, the Mother principle provides Intelligence, and the combination of Spirit and Matter produces Consciousness.

In the Bhagvad Gita, Lord Krishna talks about Prakriti and Purusha!

We are all trying to explain the unexplainable.
Peace.

yes, coz language has its own limitations.
And, something that cannot be defined in words - is Self/Consciousness.

When you understand what I'm saying intellectually you will begin to leave people alone and shut up. You will not have anything to say because you will begin to see it's fruitless to debate. It's fruitless to argue. It's fruitless to come to any conclusions about anybody or anything. For everything is unfolding as it should. Everything is in its right place no matter how it looks. As we unfold on this path our job is to watch, to look, to see, never to react. Only to be the witness. Having no opinions for or against.

How can the thoughts belong to something other than what you are?
How can there be truth in saying that I have nothing to do with the world or this body .
This actual statement is build upon separation and illusion ..
Can you see that?

Good afternoon daz
Hope your staying out of trouble, well maybe not in this thread
A statement is one thing, doing is another and each holds it's own truth

I'm not someone who hears other's words and take them as truth.
On the contrary, I'm very sceptical, when it comes to spiritual teachers..
But Ramana and Robert are different...
Their teachings resonate with my TRUTH, and not vice versa.

I would guess that even the teachers would spit out their cornflakes if I counter question their realisations ..

Aren't these statements coming from the ego? #Justasking

Normally I do get avoidance of answering questions or the subject changes or peeps get a little narky and defensive lol .

I appreciate you saying you don't know the answer/s to my questions, it has more to do with that rather than we should agree to disagree .

I don't know EVERYthing - and it's okay!
Inner mysteries are available to Serious-Seekers only, who risk everything for the truth.

I hope it gives you a little food for thought rather than anything else and hopefully you don't put too much faith in what you read even if it touches your heart ..

I really appreciate the time and effort you have spent to share your insightful comments Thank you so much

This is something you must remember. When you are perfectly calm, time stops. When there is no time, karma stops, samskaras stop. Everything becomes null and void. For when you are calm you are one with the entire energy of the universe and everything will go well with you.

Agree, Robert met many teachers, Paramahansa Yogananda, Nisargadatta, Ananda Mai Ma, Neem karoli baba and Ramana Maharshi.

Robert devoted himself to teach ramana's teachings back home...

Certain mystical secrets can not be taught publicly,.... a master passes those teachings on to his best disciples....And, the path of the truth is arduous, so, sometimes, a guru is required...

The ego or non ego teachings is another red flag to me at times where teachers that promote non ego attachments don’t normally see their own reflection in their actions ..

ego isn't the bad guy .

"Deep down in your heart know that all is well. Understand that the Universe is your friend and can never hurt you. It is the substratum of all existence which is love! When you develop a loving consciousness there can be no problems.

Love takes care of everything. Love is the same as absolute awareness, pure intelligence, or the power of God. When you have enough love inside, there are truly no problems. Problems only arise when you believe you are separate and lacking love."

So when there is a history of acquired knowledge and teachings of other's and such teachings one holds so dear that they become devoted to spread the word, whose teaching's are whose? Whose direct knowledge is whose?

I am only pointing out that the scriptures were studied by many a master / guru / teacher and trying to illustrate / decipher what is self realized and what is not .

So when anyone becomes devoted to another teacher or guru they need to be clear where their devotion lies .

Even jesus supposedly studied the scriptures prior to teaching other's about the lord .

I am however not implying that learning the teachings of other's is a bad thing for there is nothing wrong with educating oneself .

I am as many have gathered more interested in the origin of the teachings that have been passed down the line .



In regards to the ego as I see it I relate to self awareness as the ego . There cannot be a sense of oneself without it .

I only know this because of there at one point being no sense of myself as many teachers would say when you are dissolved for use of a better word into 'being' for there is no 'you' ..

What has morphed somewhat in regards to ego people seem to only relate to the expression of ego and not ego itself and then associate a particular ego expression as something to get rid of or destroy lol .

It's actually the same ego expression that puts forward the notion that ego is bad or needs to be destroyed lol ..

So in this regard one needs to destroy the expression that emphasises the need to destroy the ego ..

Its a funny old game for sure . So many ironies and contradictions I am afraid to say .

Some people see them, some people don't ..
