Originally posted by DasaWhile I think I understand the justification by which you rationalise this behaviour, I fear you are at variance with the guidance of your faith. By becoming the agent of offence towards others, however misguided you believe them to be, you are accumulating negative karma and polluting your spirit. Your own guru, assuming you are in touch with such, will clarify this point for you if you doubt it. Whether or not you feel that you are causing offence is irrelevant, what matters is what they feel.
Transcendental knowledge is like a knife......it cuts and divides, and what is left is falsity on one side and truth on the other side.
When this happens persons who defend falsity will always feel offended, but all they have to do to rectify this to give the falsity, up and subscribe to truth.
I personally do not offend anyone....but the truth in and of itself will always offend the untruthful person.
