[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 214475, member: 14641"] You love doughnuts, just like me, given the nature of your writings, is the love of doughnuts something to be fought or should one observe discretion given the level of one's own understanding? agreed nice sign of humility, a nice trait. Respect can be a thing in time, for instance men, many years commanded respect as they were good slave traders, a man who kept his wife under control, in years gone by, commanded respect, a man moulded his daughter in law's into meek child bearing slaves, commanded respect, so the respect that society deems can be misplaced, surely only the truth commands respect, but until it is understood and lived, than all other 'respects' are man made and many times misplaced, we put on pedestals those we hung yesterday.I believe we all free to follow our own path and understanding, I do not believe one person's experiences and understanding are universal, there are universal truths, but I do not believe any of us can see that clearly,and if we can, then there is trouble following it, why? the love of doughnuts. Rarely happens, I know, I have tried, there are several distinct stages love the teacher learn from the teacher want to equal the teacher want to be better than the teacher take what the teacher has despise the teacher well that is how it has panned out for me, so after twenty years of teaching or ruining, depending on how look at it, I give up, I think I have done my time on the teaching thing, I accept I have nothing to teach, it makes life so much simpler. For sure I probably did it wrong, my biggest problem is I find it hard to get angry, and after years, people get used to unconditional love, and worse, they expect it and test it, pushing to see just how much love there is, each time, I lost a load of hair, and had a heart attack, the experiences drained me, love, money, the lot, I know a bit now about people, agendas, relationships, love, hate, I don't want to share it, people have to make their own mistakes, that is how they learn, are they qualified? can they teach professionally? will they possibly make the situation worse by imparting incorrect teaching that has to be undone by a professional? so many of our good intentions can cause more harm than good, but it never gets seen , after all, its a good intention, and good intentions cannot be bad, right? agreed oh that is easy, those in deep maya wish to stay as deep as possible, what is unusual yesterday is accepted today, we are naive if we think we have complete free will, a lot is imposed on us by those with agenda, rightly or wrongly. again, sorry to bring up the doughnuts, can one love doughnuts in this state? Uhm speak for yourself on that one, not sure what a Bhagat is, but it sounds important, as Groucho Marx once said, "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.", yes, I agree, but how much do you give up? all of your lust/anger/greed etc? a bit? enough to survive in the world, but then define survival? surely if this is followed to its logical conclusion, then we spend our last days on a farm growing our own crops, and being free of everything, and blissfully happy, so do we aspire to that state at some point, or begin it straight away? Why do we refuse to accept it, and do we know of anyone, other than a preacher, who lives in this fashion? also, describe the ideal lifestyle that would reflect living this way, what would be allowed, what would be off limits? I take it you are on this path, I hope you do not find my questions impertinent, these are questions that genuinely bug me thank you [/QUOTE]
