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 ??
