Follow the path best suited to your temperament

Dualism, semi-monistic, monists, advaitists

In our family, people that are dualistic-minded – I and thou – we allow them to follow dualism. People that are semi-monistic – they believe that we are just the branches of the tree – we teach them according to what they believe.  Then there are the monists, the advaitists, who believe that I and my Father are one, I am Divine, I am it all.

From dualism to non-dualism

A person progresses from dualism to non-dualism to monism. In the beginning, dualism is required where you acknowledge a higher force than yourself, and you pray to that higher force.  Then in non-dualism, you find yourself as a part of Him, like the branches are a part of the tree.  Then in the final stages, you say, “I am the tree.”

The teachings I give out to the world have all these aspects.  I do not deny anyone’s belief. I do not condemn and neither condone.  Follow the path best suited to your temperament.
