Heh, I just meant it's not practical to correct everyone we disagree with in the slightest. Thankfully I am not anyone's guru or teacher. As your post implies, it's enough work correcting myself. I'm not against a sincere discussion for the sake of learning, though.
I thought Sri Ramana's statements on the ajna point were helpful so I shared them. You can just think about it logically. If God is all, he can't be only between the eyebrows. But concentrating on that point, as per the Guru's instruction, may be the means for someone to get that realization (that God alone is).
It is a strange thing this thing called faith. We practice something to some extent and find that there was truth too the instructions and their assertions. Then we realize we have only chipped a little bit at the surface and there is much much more to discover and manifest in our lives. We recognize that we are in a sense just beginners who have yet much to uncover which is our true nature. Outwardly speaking we are not aware of spiritual progress. Yet now we have the buzz; we are inspired for action. Yet what is the course for us from here on out?
We can't but help recognizing that we have a veil obscuring that realization. We just can't find the light that removes it. So we use every tool available and we hope to see more clearly the flaws in our own character that keep us in the clench of darkness; In the self- satisfaction of our daily routines and finding little tid-bits of pleasure offered by this world.
It is a strange world we have been accustomed to that seems to rob our happiness intermittently with glimpses of happiness. For the most part we see what the eyes and the senses show us. But we have had encounters beyond the senses. Now we are told by the Masters we have chosen to follow that there is much more and we have just scratched the surface. They seem to be pulling us into something larger then ourselves. We begin to experience that pull. We realize more and more that it is our only salvation. We witness these Masters in action and recognize they have something we really want. We recognize they are delivering us from harm. They are coaxing us onward. They are our only hope because as much as we practice our dharma we still believe what our mind and our habits and desires tell us.
Am i alone in these thoughts? Or does someone or something respond to them? Perhaps it is a way to get them clarified to make sense of them.
