I thought that an enlightened person has such strong radiation's that
maggots
could not destroy the body for a very long length of time depending on how
strong is his enlightenment. If degrees of strong radiation's have anything
to
do with it. Is there degrees of enlightenment? Do you know? I don't know! If
Master isn't strong enough to take care of himself then how enlightened
could he
be. In modern day if we don't have a job we end up just like your Master,
starving and eaten by maggots, or begging for handouts.
The body is a thing of beauty, and "God made". So, I respect it! What was
the
reason for treating it as a corps? Is it seen as a spiritual thing? I
thought we
were supposed to treat the body with respect and keep it clean and taken
care of
so it won't go all to heck and stop serving us by it's physical life being
cut
too short. I also don't understand that one should make themselves other
peoples
responsibility, and causing hardships on others who are trying to stay
independent so they won't have to end up in the streets. If they get dragged
down to the dependent persons level because of him then they all go down. I
don't understand!. I read a lot and one book says this, and another says
that.
I hear though that when people become enlightened then God takes care of
them in
such a way that they don't have to work. I know of two. These people know
they
are being taken care of as the fish in the sea, and the fowl of the air.
They
have plenty, and live very well.
Those who aren't enlightened to that degree yet need to get a job and learn
independence. That is unless they are too lazy by nature, and then they
won't.
Otherwise they can't learn to use independence wisely by not letting their
lower
nature take control. So, you won't have earned enlightenment until you do
learn.
That's the conclusion I have come to.
I could be wrong. Am I, or what?
I am not judging your Master, only wondering if there is indeed reasons
behind
what I am wondering about that I don't understand. ( You might say I am
mainly a realist in one sense of the word. So I hope I did not hurt your
feelings.) Pepper
