trying to fix the dream, when the only game in town
is just to wake up out of it."

Ooh, way to go to stir the pot, chief. I may have to alert Gem to this post, if he doesn't respond soon.

Truth hurts.

ln case anyone thinks this is from me. A direct quote from Sri Aurobindo on krishnamurti:

I don’t think there is much either in this man himself or in his teachings. It does not seem to me that he is a yogi in the true sense of the word but rather a man with some intellectual ability who is posing as a spiritual teacher. His photograph gives an impression of much pretension and vanity and an impression also of much falsity in the character. As for what he teaches, it does not hang together. If all books are worthless, why did he write a book and one of this kind telling people what they should do, what they should not do and if all teachers are unhelpful, why does he take the posture of a teacher since according to his own statement that cannot be helpful to anybody? Krishnamurti was, before he broke away on his own, certainly the disciple of two Gurus, Leadbeater and Annie Besant

Really, durgaa and Auo, don't lower yourself to personal attack. Dissect, refute and dispute the man's wyrds, by all means, if you can?

“I keep remembering one of my Guru's teachings about happiness. She says that people universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you're fortunate enough. But that's not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don't you will eat away your innate contentment. It's easy enough to pray when you're in distress but continuing to pray even when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight to its good attainments.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

I am asking you to realize you are already that which you want.

[Miss Hepburn]

The love of God, the love of the Spirit, is an all-consuming love.
Once you have experienced it,
it shall lead you on and on in the eternal realms.
That love will never be taken away from your heart.
It shall burn there, and in its fire you shall find the great magnetism of Spirit that draws
others unto you, and
attracts whatsoever you truly need or desire.


~Paramahansa Yogananda

[Miss Hepburn]

Drop all identification with limitation and see what remains.
