A thoughtful person can perceive that all is energy swirling about creating thought forms here and there and believes they have achieved enlightment.
They have partially reached enlightened yet but it is only the first step in an eternal journey with infinite steps whilst bonded to this material Maya.
Breaking free from this endless journey is available to the Mahatmas who desire the lotus feet of the Supreme enjoyer and the Lord and master of Maya.
Their desire for intimate relationship with the Lord enables them to tread a different path culminating in eternal relationship with their beloved Lord and the suffering of the wandering soul ceases.

Very informative. Thank you rvsakhadeo. It would be delightful to hear the devotional singing in situ. I find Hindu instrumental music very evocative also. Some can quite transport the spirit.
There are many instrumental music CDs esp. by Ravi Shankar and many others centred on Devotion.
Originally posted by vistesdDasa,you may be knowing where Indian Devotional/Instrumental music CDs may be available in Australia.Taoman may be informed as he is staying in Australia,he can get some easily.
Wonderful! I have a translation of the Divine Flashes, and revisit it often. The river of nondualism forges rich streams in nearly all religious expressions.
Clear light
refracted through a prism—
then people fight over
which is the one true color…

Originally posted by TaomanI will definitely follow it up. I do have some fine Hindu music already but its good to know where there are other good sources. What I meant by "in situ" (an unclear statement, my bad) was hearing the music in its natural home, amongst the community that sings them, in India itself.
Thank you Dasa. Thank you rv...

India was called disparagingly, by an anglophile named Nirad Chaudhary(otherwise a brilliant writer of exquisite English),as Continent of Circe ! It is not exactly that but certainly it is a continent of Music.

1.Krsna Meditations and 2. Hare Krsna Classics and Originals.
Note: There is Indian music.
And then there is Indian devotional music and Indian devotional music is very nice.

Originally posted by TaomanThank you.
The hard bit is realising that the "fighting over" also is part of the "prism" of life through which the Clear Light shines.
All the colours arise from the white clear light of Awareness.
With Desire and Aversion the wondrous play of Manifestation is differentiated.
Without seeking and rejecting, the Whole Shining appears.

Originally posted by TaomanThere is a CD on the Indian market- recently released-called "Sufiana" consisting of Sufi vocals. I have not heard it but is said to be selling a lot. Try if you can get in Australia.
