Spiritually Laid Back

As the shit begins to hit the ceiling of the Oneness University Dhyana Mandir, we realize that Vijay Kumar (aka Kalki Bhagavan aka Sri Bhagavan) is not an iota better than Sathya Sai Baba or the other megalomaniac freaks claiming to be divine:

"They both said the same thing independently of each other: the “Oneness Lehyam” is narcotic substances (one said it sounded like a mixture of LSD, Ecstasy and Ayhuasca). I do not know what Lehyam is, but I know that when they stopped using Lehyam in the 21 days process, people no longer got any peak experiences." - Freddie N.

"If you trust me, believe when I tell you that you are the pure awareness that illumines consciousness and its infinite content. Realise this and live accordingly.

If you do not believe me, then go within, enquiring ‘What am I?’ or, focus your mind on ‘I am’, which is pure and simple being."

Contrasting this are teachers such as J Krishnamurthy who ask us not to believe anything. To start with an unconditioned mind. Which makes sense too. But how do you get that unconditioned mind? JK speaks of meditation, but as yet (I have read half of The Awakening of Intelligence), he hasn’t yet explained his form of meditation. JK talks about this and that, good and evil, the problems of the world, religion, you name it … IMO well suited for intellectuals.

Ramana Maharshi did not spend his life talking about good and evil, and other philosophical topics. Bhagavan Ramana always pointed us back to the "I", the direct path. Ramana’s advice was for each person who came, not restricted to the privileged class.
