Kurtz: [intercepted radio message] I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream; that's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor... and surviving. www.imdb.com/title/tt0078788/quotes
I've been watching a lot of "guru" or Eastern philosophy videos over the years and would say Papaji's are good because each is different from another and is more like a class. Even Thich Nhat repeats the same thing over and over and over again. I also have serious problems with the way people in these videos worship the teacher. I don't care what knowledge he has to share, no one is more human than any other person. Respect is fine worship is obscene.
Higherarchical structure is necessary for society to function. I have no issue with showing deference or respect. My comment about repetition was literal. Thich Nhat will spend an hour talking about how to come home to your body when the concept was thoroughly explained in the first ten minute. That's all.
Hello Clint....after coming face to face with a Master - whether Papaji or anyone else - somehow, one feels a reverential attitude...it's not about putting a person on a pedestal - that reverence is for the one who is not a person anymore. Essentially, it's the Absolute that is being 'worshipped' - not the person....and the Person/Persona of the Guru is a gateway or a window to the said Absolute. Devotion flows naturally towards a Master - but there may be a few expressions of said Devotion that one doesn't like. For what it's worth - I say this from my personal experience and not as a quote from a scripture. Pranam!
I wouldn't do it myself, but you are forgetting the point that people are free to worship whatever! A million gods if they relate to that. Its their freedom to worship and kiss his feet and that only deserves respect even if I dont behave the same way.
He knows and repeats the teachings of Ramana Maharishi , but he himself is not a spiritual Enlightened being , the same as Ganga ji , she is just a carrier of words but has no spiritual understanding or her own Spiritual wisdom, just her opinions and self made concepts.
