[Advaita-l] (no subject)

[Venkatraghavan S]

Namaste,

If realisation is what one is after, then please note that the one doing an
action is not the one who is free. So as long as one identifies as a
sannyAsi or a gRhastha and as one engaging in action, there is no
realisation.

The problem is identification with the body and mind that is engaged in
duties and that belongs to a particular group with particular rights and
responsibilities. The solution is to stop identifying. Stop getting caught
up with what is possible and when - that itself is an obstacle to
knowledge. It is possible, right now.

Regards,
Venkatraghavan
