"He who has realized the Self, which is innate, unborn, and inconceivable, is not contaminated by any evil, even if he acts in whatever way he likes. And once he is free from ignorance, he cannot perform any action. For that reason the self-controlled mendicant is never bound." Avadhut Gita II. 30 Translation Sw. Chetanananda, Publisher: Advaita Ashram (Ramakrishna Mission) "Surely the heart of one who has known the Self is not touched by virtue and vice, just as the sky is not touched by smoke, even though it appears to be." "Who can prevent that great souled one, who has known this entire universe to be the Self alone, from acting spontaneously?" Ashtavakra Gita IV 3 + 4 Translation: Sw. Nityaswarupananda, Publ. Advaita Ashrama (Ramakrishna Mission) "Therefore, do you arise and win glory; conquering foes, enjoy the affluent kingdom. These warriors stand already slain by Me; be you only an instrument, Arjuna." Bhagavad Gita XI. 33 Jayadayal Goyandka Gita; Press It seems Neo-Advaita is quite ancient. ------------------------ Yahoo!
