If someone has worked out related types of karma on a subject then it is no longer in them, which does not mean they can't like it and thus fight for dharmic truth... Btw there was a world of hurt that Gandhi (and countless others over the ages) did not like and who thus fought for truth!!

"Advaita Vedanta is a major school of Hindu philosophy (darshan) focusing on non-dualism, positing that the individual soul is identical to the ultimate, formless reality Propounded by Adi Shankara, it teaches that only Brahman is real, while the perceived, diverse world (aka duality, my insert) is a manifestation of illusion maya" from Ai And it sounds to me like some or certain schools related to Buddhism and their interpretation's are along that line.

There is that saying that if there is something you don't like then its a reflection of what's in you, or a problem of yours. Well I don't quite buy that huge generalization, granted it may be true in some cases but not in others... hells bells does your introspective head hurt hurt?

right, don't know much about it but it looks messy in picture below. Wonder if a earth ear, nose and throat specialist could help this guy?

Thank you Mark, that was finely written and informative! "The fundamental point sits zazen, and what is that other than this consciousness, right here?" Can seem like light years away but is always right under our noses, so to speak...

who is supplying the ectoplasm, and is it organic non-gmo?

not so for some schools...

in non-dualism ok but not in dualism...with some schools in complete denial of dualism which is not my cup of tea.

which is what i more or less implied....yes?

I'd say as long as there is time and space and vast multitudes of various emanations repeating in endless cycles, then there is also dharma and adharma going on. I also like that saying along the lines of : "samsara properly understood is nirvana"

ok, true mystics are not limited to the 100% dualistic orthodox Bible interpretations via its text or other such teachings. In fact some outspoken or otherwise mystics have been murdered by "orthodox" forces over the years.

if dharma is delusion then we're in nihilistic like trouble...or such trouble is ready to take over anytime, anywhere with anyone. I prefer to put unanswered questions on an agnostic like shelf where they don't have to immediately be black or white. Btw, some tricksters (obvious or not) can also be taken as teachers.

Haribol, to me your quotes are strangely located after the Nataraja image and quote? FYI I did bring up the Bible one about not to worry earlier. Btw, dualistic orthodox Abrahamic religion's per the Bible and other Abrahamic related teachings will never cross the bridge to non-dualism. Agreed?
