Who cares? If you’re reading this, everything is just a Lila and we’re all playing our parts. I just don’t take my roles that seriously.

I should have asked him to elaborate on this when I had the chance. All we did was talk about boring ol' emptiness and dependent origination. sigh. Alas!

Proud to be part of this lineage. My parameshti guru in Advaita Vedanta. Swami Chinmayananda was a lion among teachers. A powerful orator and an embodiment of wisdom.

IMHO, no one stands above him as an expounder of Vedanta.

To me, one of the clearest pointing out instructions. Cliffnotes version below:

You are the sky, not the traffic:
• Thoughts are just noise; awareness is the open space.
• Look back at the one who is looking; notice the gap.
• Stop striving. Rest in the luminous presence that is already here.

All philosophies are mental fabrications. There has never been a single doctrine by which one could enter the true essence of things.

@nosilverv @twim6rs Ha! This brings me back. Such a long time ago it feels. Oh I’d love to have you at one of my retreats.

@stephen_zerfas This was never about slow replies, missed events, or personal friction. My focus is simply student psychological safety and preserving the principle of dāna, that the Dhamma is freely given, not commercialized. I look forward to speaking with you directly in December.
