Oh well, maybe he did, and certainly from my POV lives the Reality of the Vedas. And no doubt ime he has the ability to cognize them-- I'm not disputing that. But he sure hasn't had the time to *document* his cognition.:
Hridaya Puri: One doesn't live the reality of the vedas and at the same time is caged in by an inproper vastu, nor do enlightened have cognitions, revelations, or perform sidhis. Jim:If you or anyone else can explain to me how the Vedas can be cognized *before* enlightenment, I owe you a nickel. Such a foolish statement, which you have apparently swallowed hook, line and sinker.:-) Hridaya Puri: Cognitions are all to do with the transcient, it is only the unenlightened ones stil in the process that will have cognitions and revelations such as knowing whatever they want to know in an instant, unfoldiung the entire structure of Jyotish, vedic mathmatics, or the vedas. enlightened on Are the vedas, just Being- not persona Jim:I don't see an answer to my question, just some misdirection; playing Hridaya Puri: I think this is approximately how an enlightened one would answer. If I asked the 3 enlightened one's in my path for this answer, independantly, the same answer would come because it is coming from that same One. Jim:mind games with identification. Kinda boring.:-) Hridaya Puri: I state my reason for posting all this in the first place. There is a value to knowing if a master is enlightened or not because they are only going to take you as far as they are. One might consider when trying to figure out if the one they will entrust their faith with is enlightened by both being with this Guru, and then seeing the progress of the students- are they in confusion, are there enlightened one's etc. For those who are interested in enlightenment above all else, this is an important consideration. Ultimately, one has to use their own discretion, then live with these choices. I present my opinions because it is an option. The way it is received is not up to me but most certainly it will probably be hell for some and maybe heaven for some as well, and then anywhere in between that.
