rp bibra,thank you for your very detailed post,you seem to credit me with much,and suggest that I "know" in theory almost everything that is to be known of reality/spirituality,and suggest a little more sadhna(putting into practise all thatone knows of reality)were that the case bibra,I would certainly see the wisdom and merit in that suggestion,however I feel that
you have greatly overestimated my position,which is this;I am aware of one
basic reality as to me,and that is of my ignorance!And that what I "know"
as they say in England would fit on a postage stamp.With room to spare!
My position is that I "know nothing",but can have access to all?I have not
read Ashtavaka gita,but will look up the one you suggested by Bart Marshall.
I do indeed understand what you are saying,with regard "kill the mind"?
Lastly I feel that there may have been a misunderstanding about the word mind,maybe awareness would have been better!
The doorway to wisdom only opens if one knows and accepts one vast amount of ignorance,such is the law of life!

kind regards michael.
