Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs." > > This is a common theme in neo-advaitin "realizers", the inability to > present a correct View (drsti) regarding the "two truths" (satyadvaya). > Being THE correct view, I am sure all realized ones agree on it.
