Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 the thought "I am" (i.e.: I am an individual that is different from other individuals) causes all other thoughts, such as "I want", "I don´t want", "I am afraid of", "I am angry aboutI am happy aboutI enjoy" and so on. So the "I am" is kind of a root thought. it is the root of all addictions. jgd, carolin > Something to think about, or not: ;-) > > "Thought is the narcotic of the masses, because it is the first great > addiction, from which all other addictions arise." > > jai guru datta, > > pradyumna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 "I am not." is the first thought of duality which gives rise to illusion, because "I am [all of this]." is Truth. Jai Guru Datta. bhakti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Yes, it is the same, no matter whether you say or think "I am" (different from others) or you say "I am not" (of all this) "Different from others" is the same as "not of all this" these are only words. Both is the same and is the root of all addictions. jgd carolin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
