I was talking to a very good friend today – and she told me something, which I think is the one piece of completely sane, logical and justified philosophy iv ever heard. Probably, you have heard it somewhere too :

“Advaitam is nothing but believing that God is you. You can do that in two ways – you can think You’re Aarabi and God is some little tiny thing near the end of your toe. Or you can think that Aarabi is some tiny little part of you. What does that leave you with?”

First off, I loved the beauty of the reasoning. If you’re dominated by ego, God will be a small part of you. But if you let go of the ego, you’re almost full part God!! And amazingly well put, the thought, too. The word ‘ego’ actually never features anywhere in it.

Again, the advaitam is left to you to practise in the way you want. But this has its own implications. You canbrag and think you’re God OR you can not brag and actually BE God. But not both together.

Now, I just believe God is a cool guy sitting up there somewhere and iv never philosophised or thought much about who He may be.

But sure as hell There are more things in heaven and earth, Aarabi, than are heard of in your philosophy
