Ragmaala

whichever comes from experience, when people want talk to me about spiritual issues personally, usually i avoid. if i have to talk then i request them to share what they exactly believe based on daily life experience, not what they know. they were surprised to discover a vast gap between the two. we usually can talk, discuss, and debate limitlessly what we know, however, the same is not about what we experience.

for my own purposes, i divide this issue into three following stages:

1. knowing (mainu patta hai) - based on intellect (always huge knowledge), and implies that i know mote than others and i am right also, therefore bitterness, hate, and contempt for others.

2. actual knowing (bujhlia) - inner understanding that unfolds mysteries (mostly limited based on naam abhyaas and shradha), that mystery has unfolded inside and it is always evolving, and there is nothing to do with others.

3. experience (anubhav) - inner experience where knowing becomes real how much limited that may be, again based on naam abhyaas and shradha. 

what i found most interesting that many of those wanderingin stages 2 and 3, skipped the stage one and tent not be positional and contemptuous of others view point. however, those in stage 1 were there forever and spent whole time to prove they are right and others are wrong, regardless of the fact whether they are or not.

if this is too abstract, my humble apologies, but it is real.
