What if rudraksha rule broken unaware

[Guest guest]

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?

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.
