Righto, but when? When you know so! Its like reading any mahaavaakya, for that matter. I humbly submit I'm not there yet.<BR/><BR/>PS: Guess-ji, I may have failed to guess your identity! Would you care to tell if I know you? Its easier to interact if I know some background, then I don't have to go on to repeat things I understand you know.Advaitavedantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04945896897761577866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105984.post-1118142249630513602005-06-07T16:34:00.000+05:302005-06-07T16:34:00.000+05:30the logic is "you are your own Master"the logic is "you are your own Master"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105984.post-1118036411816076622005-06-06T11:10:00.000+05:302005-06-06T11:10:00.000+05:30To me, these sound as contradictory statements. Wh...To me, these sound as contradictory statements. When you *surrender* unto your master, there's no *will* of yours; so the question of it prevailing doesn't arise! Its a sad state of pseudo-bhakthaas today that Swami points out to. He says you can't submit to the Lord to take care of you and then say "this is what I want"! (I guess you meant that too.) Let the Lord want things for you, then. Ramakrishna's was to test his devotees. Rakhal was a sweet one for him.Advaitavedantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04945896897761577866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105984.post-1117905060420995012005-06-04T22:41:00.000+05:302005-06-04T22:41:00.000+05:30If your WILL is strong enough, whatever you choo...If your <B> WILL </B> is strong enough, whatever you choose is your destiny.

The dynamic variable are too many, and they keep changing - with or without your knowledge.
