F.: In regards to the reference to “your power,” do you have the power to change the condition on the planet for billions? Of course not. You don’t even see the condition. Do you have the power to change the condition on the planet for even a few? More to the point, do you have the power to change the condition for you—for that person on this planet who is so dedicated to singing songs of praise to him self that he cannot hear the shouts of agony rising from the sufferers who are scattered across the planet and whom you obviously feel “separate” from? You are “detached,” you report. That means you might be the witness, but you are “the subject” of subject-object witnessing. The “I” (which you take yourself to be) is witnessing those “others” who are “wallowing” and have not accomplished all that you have accomplished. That leaves you trapped in the duality of “me-them.” You claim to know Brahman without even knowing Your True Self. Only from that True Self platform of the Pure Witness would you be able to know the Oneness and become aware of the relative-existence-misery and suffering of “others” that you too are experiencing but denying. You do not understand that because you believe you know it all. You, too, believe yourself to be on third base because you hit a triple, but many who have such pride have had more opportunities given than opportunities made.
Now, to return to the relative existence in which you are actually embroiled as a result of not understanding any of the Advaita teachings. Here is a suggestion regarding your relative existence conduct, which can be taken as an experiment in “Applied Advaita”: for a time, forget using the teachings to “detach”; let ego dissolve so you can detach instead from the glorification of your successes and your illusion of power and the delusion of your Brahman status; go find one hungry child; and then…offer food. That is all that ever happens on this site: every now and then, persons who are hungry for something show up, and sometimes…they just happen to be fed. The irony is that it is not their mouths that must be open in order to be fed. Please enter the silence of contemplation.
