Collage of cliches -Reflections


Today's thought has been inspired by an excellent critique of my unease with "scholarship" by Gulpa. This is in the form of a collage of cliches (they appear less as quotes).

Here I go :

1. You are a scholar and so you have scholarship. It's not because you have scholarship that you are a scholar.

2.Aspire to be a scholar, but don't be fascinated by scholarship.

3. Sankalpams lead to scholarship, Sankalpam -less meditation leads to realization .

4. There is no point in pursuing "Knowledge" , YOU ARE.

5. As YOU ARE in realization, You will just "be" 

    Ubiquitous, all-pervasive effulgent, for ever, in PEACE, HARMONY, & BLISS. 

6. Don't just be fascinated by "advaitham". experience & become an  "advaithin". (one who has realized) 

Remember that famous line of Lord Krishna in that Bollywood film OMG?

I am GOD so I perform miracles; I am not GOD because I perform miracles.

Any further Bhashyam would dilute the import of these cliches /quotes is my honest feeling.

Love

  1. Cypress folks' comments :

    That's too scholarly for me to attempt a bhaashyam on.

    Thanks for preemptively precluding even my considering one.
