[Advaita-l] Advaitic experience

[Venkatesh Murthy via Advaita-l]

Namaste

It is like Smashaana Vairaagya everyone gets. In Smashaana when they are
cremating his relative's body everybody feels there is no meaning in
earning wealth and enjoying life. He will look at the cremating body and
think what money and property he made in life they are not able to prevent
his death. What is the use of all this wealth? But after he comes out of
Smashaana and after some time he goes back to old habits of making money
and enjoying material pleasures.

Like this sometimes anybody can get Advaita Bhaavanaa. He will say we all
are one. But try to ask him Give me your house and possessions to me. We
all are one. I am you and you are me. What is yours is mine. Your bank
account is mine. See what happens.

True Advaita experience is not temporary. The Advaita Experience Effect
will be permanent and change the life of the person permanently.
