The purpose of studying scriptures is to integrate one's experience of enlightenment more completely. Also to smooth the process which I understand can be quite jarring.

He was living them. (See my post with the SBAL quote.) he never appeared interested in learning more - whether about Catholic/Orthodox Christianity, Yogic Vedanta or Shankara’s Advaita Vedanta. I attribute this to a lack of genuine humility although he was constantly espousing a pseudo-humility. Could anyone on this forum point out where Robin demonstrated any knowledge about Indian Vedanta or Yoga other than basic TM practice and TMer lingo? Apparently Robin was not very well-read in the Hindu scriptures.
