It’s not about facts. It’s about conceiving from within.
The Veda exists within every point in creation eternally.
The ‘story’ is great, but what lies deeper is much greater.
The story points in a direction where few think to go.
Ask what is the underlying principle in nature. Conceive that.
How to learn from a Spiritual Master.
Step one, be sure the master is for real!
From what I have seen, few people do step one well.
It is not about emotion, hype, drama, flash, vogue, etc. Look as deeply as you can. It is not about if it resonates with something within you. It is about what within you it resonates with. As Adi Shankara said, “The spiritual path is the path of discernment”
It is not about personality or conformity with your preconceived notions. If it was, then where is the learning.
It is not a popularity contest, or a social gathering point
Common sense, spirituality, depth, in-sight
Really it might all too often just come down to motivation… what are you really wanting?
Looking into the Mirror
When he/she holds up a mirror, what do you do? mirroring
When something is not consistent with your views… think or better said discern. Where do you go when on the edge? Do you learn or reject? Do you deepen your thinking, or reject and judge.
Do you embrace your issues, or truth.
All too often, “your truth” is really just your issues.
Assuming the person is truly a spiritual master, how do you learn from that person?
Listen carefully, observe, reflect, the mirror shows your beauty and your limitations. If you are willing to look, it points in the direction of your growth.

A recent comment:
I have been reading the Mahabharata, now some things bother me about it, why is it that great sages are feared so much because they curse them , aren’t they supposed to be more compassionate,
And those people all seem superhuman like they get pierced by 100 arrows and don’t die, i really enjoy reading this but some things just blow my mind
And I have the feeling you hold back on things because it is too much for people what I absolutely understand

Laws of Manu… do they make sense to you? on some level?
——
We have a very narrow bandwidth of what we are capable of assimilating

Disregarding what we do not want to hear… Where is the growth

superstition vs deeper truth… The Path of Discernment

Vedic literature touches a deep place within, can you feel it? can you allow it? Culturing deeper levels within, Not hook line and sinker but refinement of awareness
