Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Also you may have certain opinions about intoxicants and spiritual work. I'm not saying that I personally disagree with those opinions, but some might. What I have found is that we really only have a right to say what is right for us and to follow that path. We have no scope to say what is right or wrong for another's Path. How could we possibly know. Can there be any argument that Sombari Baba was/is a very highly evolved Yogi/Siddha? I have a picture of him smoking a chillum. Do you see what I am getting at? - Arjuna Friday, December 12, 2003 7:13 AM Re: RBSC : What if rudraksha rule broken unaware Dear Mahamuniji, Working professionally with addicts, alcoholics, and their families, I think I was quite rserved. I watch the deterioration of body, mind,heart, and spirit that occurs with the use of these substances. I hear the rationalizations for their continued use on a consistent basis, but they just don't hold water for me. To try to solve a temporary problem, i.e. my current emotional state, whether to highten a positive one, or to dampen a negative one through the use of a substance that in the long run has these consequences lacks construct validity. I have proven fro meyself and seen it in the lives of many others that the use of of intoxicants and spiritual work do not go hand in hand, expect maybe if you say that hitting a bottom and then moving into recovery is a benefit. Rudrokshas are not an antidote for destructive behavior. Neither do I believe that I commit a sin if I do something "negative" while wearing them. My experience is that they tend to bring the consequences of my choices more forcefully to the fore. Arjuna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
