Well, I must confess at the very beginning my leanings towards Advaita and the reason for this post is that I don't find many posts nowadays.

I feel that there are two different approaches that are adopted by two distinct types in following the path of self knowledge. I say this very tentatively as all generalizations are prone to error.

Let me give extracts from three different traditions to explain the difference between self love & Self Love. First from Gurdjieff:

The teachings of Vedas are not easily accessible to us but we do get a good summary of it in works of Ramana Maharshi and to some extent Sri Nisargdutta Maharaj.

"There is an Eastern tale which speaks about a very rich magician who had a great many sheep. But at the same time this magician was very mean.

There have been lots of posts regarding the scandals of Preachers (Indian Gurus). Though I had briefly stated my views, yet this is such a core issue that it would be proper to discuss it in detail.

The first step in the Spiritual path is to realise that no matter what we do or whatever path or method that we follow, we only strengthen this center of egotistic activity.

In my previous two blogs I had written about the ailment and its cure. In itself this should have been sufficient but some have endavoured to seek the very essence of excellence.

We had briefly stated (previous blog)the cause of our ailment and suggested the method of Open Heart Surgery.

The mankind is in crisis and it needs an immediate Open Heart Surgery.
