PART4: Is it how divine intervention works? Is KrishiNA then just gently reminding us how to intervene divinely for ourselves. David the Lantern ( sic) silly moi, I mean Nichtern, tells us to use ‘the very fabric of our secular experience for spiritual practice’ No need then, to romanticise visiting a remote Buddhist monastery hidden far up the Himalayas only to be beaten, humiliated and infuriated then offered mind boggling koans.
PART 3: Consider that our souls also carry all we will do in the future as well as the past? A simple future prediction then does not affect free will but INTERVENTION might weave a separate fate. For example if a holy enlightened one (maharaji) PREDICTS, then journeys to meet his beloved disciples coincidentally (Allahabad) and plans a surprise meal feeding and serving all fifty friends.Is free will compromis?
Is it that each individual’s own soul or witness as ram dass calls it, knows what it has done and endured for maharaj-ji to reveal it? What really bakes our noodle is the prospect of our futures being revealed. Of course the point being that we clearly often have not yet made our decisions, ...but does it mean no free will or that it is pre ordained
Your very guru, neem karoli baba accurately informs ram dass of events in his past about his mother at the time of his initiation ,Bhagavan dass tells us that maharaj-ji informs the westerners about their pasts 'just like jesus at the well.' Yet how did maharaj-ji come to intimate to each one very personal stuff
I don't believe that "it is written" in the sense that it is preordained - I understand it to mean that we don't have impact on what happens in any moment but this one. "Freedom is in this moment." Thank you, KD.
Put a tilak and a dhoti, you will be succesfull as a guru cheater in Iskcon.
