Why? Walking or running in the rain is a wonderful experience. You are living in a sterile techno bubble world if you don't periodically run, walk and dance in the rain. And jump in puddles. > > Can we say that an experiential identification with Brahman Heh, good one, "identification with Brahamn". If there is something still to be indentified with anything, Brahman or whatever, its all simply mood-making. Slumber on. > Identification with Brahman haha, there you go again. This is great stuff. Do you write comedy professionally? > is a state of evolution, It gets better. "state". "evolution". > because we work > to achieve it, and it does take considerable work... hahah. And I bet considerable "desire" is needed too. That which is outside/inside/mu -- not even a correct concept -- of Desire, "reached" hahaha by "Desire". I have not seen such great satires of advaita-speak ever. > This IS NOT to say that identification with Brahman is BETTER than > any other state. Then why is it desired and worked hard for. hahaha the multi-dimensional, mobious loops the mind gets into when it "imagines". ------------------------ Yahoo!
