How woman is a man or how girl is a man a man control human technology can control each other So they arefile users how cycles can control one's So in every situation this noir is there.
Every situation.
Now we keep the difficult situations aside,
Just the simple normal daily routine.
Start becoming aware of the noir.
Again and again.
Can I be aware of the noir?
That's where you are actually going in your uddha retreat.
It's not different from this.
There you are just going step by step with closed eye meditation.
Here Advaita is saying go directly.
That's the only difference.
In that you are going step by step while purifying your mind,
Purifying your mind,
Emptying the mind of raga and dvesha so that the noir shines very clearly.
Here we are saying even if it's faint you still know the noir is there.
Now with your goal set,
The destination is set to be able to see this noir clearly,
Now you start purifying your mind of that craving and aversion that is coming up.
Both the paths actually lead there.
It's just this is indirect,
This is direct.
Yeah.
I think in Buddha's path,
I guess we probably haven't reached that stage in Advaita where you have directions given as to how you bring out that knowingness.
Whereas in Buddha's,
You kind of know non reaction.
Something comes up,
You know you have to be non reactive and all of the other vows help so much in such situations that they feel like they are their tool.
Correct.
So that's what you purify first and then you become clear first and then it will shine.
Yeah.
And this it is the other way around.
It is shining first,
It is not so clear but I can see it even through my dirty muddy window.
Now my job is to clean my window.
But in Advaita again,
That path that Buddha has of you take this vow,
You clear up this,
You do this,
You do that,
Those are not detailed.
Now you figure that path out.
Hmm.
Yeah.
So whichever way you go,
You know that you've already tasted the destination.
So the false expectation of oh I'm going to have some great mystical experience,
Some light is going to shine,
Some wings are going to glow out of me and I'm going to start flying and walking on water.
You realise nothing like that is happening.
Yes,
Those were all stories.
So actually it becomes very clear when somebody tastes at least the theory of both the signs and then that clarity dawns about what really is the end goal and what is the path that works for me.
