Re: Why is daily sadhana important?
Dear Seeker ji,
Namasthe!
From your posts , I read that 'everyone is a prince'. I believe that everyone is capable of becoming a prince.
This is not what our scriptures are saying.
Their claim is : you are Purna, Complete. Full.
Not that you have to become complete. You are already complete, that is their claim.
Sri Adi Shankaracharya has a story to illustrate the point: The story of 10 disciples of a monk. They were to go somewhere for some function... for which they had to cross a river. The guru told them to take care of each other ... so after crossing the river, they count themselves ... and each one counts all leaving himself : they conclude that 1 person has drowned in the river.
so the 10th man ... the person who counted ... has to become the 10th man or is he already the 10th man ?
Seeker ji, for the example i have given ... i explained a point through the example. one does not extend the example ... its considered not a logical approach to extend examples. One has to discuss the idea presented through the example... not discuss the example. In the present case its ok, but usually when we discuss a topic ... its not appropriate to extend any examples... look at what is pointed through the example and talk about the indicated point, not the example itself.
Love!
Silence
Come up, O Lions, and shake off the delusion that you are a sheep
