Your post is contaminated/deluded by the repeated use of "I". As long as "you" are "attached" to your "I"-ness you cannot propound anything valid beyond the delusion of your "self".
http://www.ourpathtogod.com/bhagavadgita/chapter2.html "One who abandons all desires, and becomes free from longing and the feeling of 'I' and 'my', attains peace. (2.71) O Arjuna, this is the super-conscious state of mind. Attaining this state, one is no longer deluded. Gaining this state, even at the end of one's life, a person becomes one with the Absolute. (2.72)." Sarbajit On 10/2/12, Russ Abbott <russ.abb...@gmail.com> wrote: > I liked my post on attachment. (Perhaps I'm attached to it.) Did it get > lost?
