Russel quite rightly points out that the foundation is unknown and unknowable, it is as Russel says infinite - a concept humans nod their heads at but can never fully understand Hi Ardy, Russell Here is where you differ with Vedanta. Because according to Vedanta this infinite is nothing other than ...

I have spend many months now discussing Vedanta with him and now find that for him enlightenment is not some great mystical state, but just an alternative way of understanding the world. Here is the difference: The common view assumes that space and time are the fundamental reality of the world, con...

Ha Ardy! One can also say that cultists can recognize each other. Does this mean what they believe in is true.

The answers I have gotten so far have only increased my confusion on the matter. It seems as if enlightenment is not a objective thing but a matter of opinion.

I am slowly getting around to what he is saying. His worldview is making sense to me as an alternative way of seeing things, which at first appears quite strange but slowly grows on you. He says that my thinking in terms of enlightenment as a "grand" achievement is false, he says it is mor...

Kunyab, there is teaching, and there are enlightened teachers. In the act of writing, your “husband” is teaching. Is he an enlightened teacher? Cahoot, I asked him this question. His reply was that he reads to like spiritual literature and books. And so he put his insights into words so that he can...

Fairly simple to test at some level anyway. Get him to write a poem defining his enlightenment then post it here. Not sure there is anyone enlightened here either and if you don't get solid replies then send it to a major Buddhist monastery addressed to the Abbott and see what they have to say. If ...

I don't know...I can't imagine what Kunyab is going through... I always dreamed of having an Enlightened yogi to be my husband... Kunga its not like there is anything wrong, I am just concerned. After all one does not want near and dear ones to be delusional. First of all I am very skeptical by nat...

Love him anyway.
Peace.

Not losing control but losing context and connection. I just wanted him in this real world not in some fanciful abstraction.

Obviously this is some pathetic way to spam the blog here. And if he couldn't get a wiser or less gossiping wife, he surely has little wisdom! Sorry Diebert, it is just that I feel that our world have grown so apart. I living in this earth, whereas he has gone off to a different reality. I thought ...

Kunga, Thanks for your words and the link to the story of Rumi. This is also what my husband keeps saying There is one eternal, simple truth: I AM. And because that is so, everything is because I AM. I AM God the Creator, everything else I am not, although I can be if I so choose. But I say you have...

So my husband claims to be enlightened. He had always been interested in spiritual stuff and some of this is part of our traditions as Hindus. However, enlightenment is a very rare occurence and mostly confined to people who have gone through a very strong spiritual experience or have a completely d...
