To the Kettle God
.
The Four Obstacles
.
The first obstacle is Sleep
Or the lack of control over it
To be overcome by discipline
The Body Mind neither deprived - nor overindulgent
.
The second obstacle is distraction
of senses towards exterior objects
The world as experienced by senses- is an obstacle
.
The third obstacle is Memory of past- experiences
.
The fourth obstacle is Bliss Ananda as it- separates
The feeling ‘I am enjoying’ is a separation
.
The resolution is Samadhana or Samadhi
One becomes ONE with Ananda no separa- tion(s)
No enjoyer enjoyment separation all merge
All ceases into the ocean of SatChitAnanda
There are no Duality. This is SatChitAnanda
.
This is the doctrine of Non Duality: Not Two - but ONE
The argument goes -
If God created the world; the God and World - are two
.
If God IS the creation then there is no duality
.
Advaita says that world(ly) is a manifestation
There is only ONE that is perceived as many
There is ONE that manifests itself variously
There is ONE- IT dwells in each and every
The ONE is projected on myriad screens
.
Who believes it? Not even Vivekananda
When master explained to young Naren
He responded - Are you telling me this kettle is God ??
