A a Yeah,
All of them go to the same,
All spiritual paths go to the same core teachings.
It is just some people on the way who tried to make it a business,
Made it a spiritual industry and that's where it got all messy.
But the core teaching,
Whether it is the Buddha's path,
Whether it is Krishna's or Ramana Maharshi or Nisargadatta Maharaj or the Upanishads and Vedas,
Everything goes to the same.
There is only one ocean.
All rivers go down to the same ocean.
Some go from a very tall mountainous path,
Very steep and some are going from the plain ground very slowly at their own pace.
But everything goes to the same ocean.
What are your favourite scriptures?
Do you think if we study a few scriptures then there are so many to cover.
What are your top most?
No I would say whatever works for you.
Why?
Because you could be a person who likes chocolate ice cream.
I can't tell you,
You should eat raspberry.
Raspberry berry doesn't even chime with me.
So you understand that you have to take to that path which works for you.
If Ramana works for you then you dig deep in Ramana.
You go very deep in it,
Experientially,
Not intellectually.
Experientially make it your thing that I have to understand.
Everything that Ramana Maharshi said.
Not even one sentence should be there in that that I don't comprehend.
You have to stop there then.
You experience it.
It's not intellectually understanding it.
Experientially in my day to day,
Oh this is what he is saying.
Then you have the right to go ahead.
So study scriptures more like it is the guru.
Because the guru is not there with me 24-7.
The scripture is my guru.
Make the scripture your guru and that inner environment is my laboratory to experiment.
Yes and I am a scientist.
So I experiment with that laboratory like a scientist.
No beliefs.
Because belief conditioning then we go back to the old ways.
Dropping beliefs,
Dropping conditioning,
Fear experiencing.
