NO SATSANG TODAY.  I HAVE TO THINK OVER AND PONDER SOME THINGS DEEPLY REGARDING BEING A TEACHER.

 The field is so very crowded with teachings and teachers that often it feels pointless because it is too confusing for seekers.  Why add to the confusion?

 And the teachers don't want to communicate with each other, or debate with each other, or defend their teachings as was so common a thousand years ago.

 Few teachers are very nuanced and offer very simplistic teachings and most students want something easy to grasp, like basic Nisargadatta, basic Ramana, basic Tolle, etc.

 And most teachers discount the Manifest I as illusion, but to me it boils with energy and bliss.

 So I have to ponder what to do.

 I will never abandon my current students who have stuck with me so long, but I have seen so many students come professing great love, commitment, attachment, etc., only to run away in a flash of anger of unknown origin and I am tired by the constant sense of loss.

    EDJI, FUCK THOSE OTHER PEOPLE! THAT IS THEIR TRIP, AND WHERE THEY ARE AT. WE NEED YOU, AND WE NEED SATSANG. YOU ONLY FEEL ALONE BECAUSE YOU ARE HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST. PLEASE DON'T LET IT GET YOU DOWN--OR RATHER, LET IT--AND SHARE THE LOAD WITH US. WE ARE HERE FOR YOU. MATTHEW

    Sri Edji, You are real. Your not up on stage detached from devotees. I think your setting a new precedent which scares the hell out of the other teachers. You can talk about your day to day personal experiences with lots of emotion and feeling.
    Your not a robot living in emptiness spewing out what the audience wants to hear so you can build your coffers.
    Another teacher debate with you....my god you would have them undressed in the first 10 minutes.....most of them are scared to stand naked while you totally expose your insides so we can behold the Truth.
    You are at the TOP so you can't compare yourself to anyone. You are opening totally new ground, plowing a whole new way of Self-realization without all the bullshit offered by the older methods.
    We are here for you as it can't be any other way because you are living within us.
    Just like you tell me, 'this will pass'.
    Your writings are getting much stronger and deeper-we need you like we need oxygen to live. You are our heart and soul!
    You are a Rare happening at this time in history...badly needed.
    Only the deepest LOVE to YOU. steve

    Agreed, you are the only teacher like you---unique. Yes there are many others out there but for those of us wanting real truth there are few teachers indeed.

    If the teacher had Grace what more would be needed to grasped because it would be felt and understood - complex analysis is not needed when this happens - everything becomes simple. Why make it more mentally and emotionally involved when this is clearly the error - MAYA. Get out of error and move forward Spiritually - Simple.

    I could not agree more Steve!!! The ones of us who stay here truly love you. I still yearn to meet you. But either way I feel you right here, in all of this bliss and energy you freely shared with us. It fills my body, suffusing into my bones and muscles. My heart,throat and brain tingle and burn in delight. My face, my tongue, my nasal cavity...everything is dancing and moving. The more I relax the better it feels. It feels like its tingling the space around me, as if I'm vibrating in the space in and around me physically. When it is too intense, I feel I am learning to surrender, learning to let go, because it certainly feels like I'm going to die or go crazy.

    I'm rambling, I just want to get across a thank you and that I deeply appreciate what you have brought into my life. All of your teachings, your humanness, honesty and love have opened spaces in myself that I was much too afraid to explore or accept. Im happy you are giving people the freedom to love and learn themselves and others instead of dismissing all of the things happening in the world and in themselves for a kind of false peace.

    Dear Edji - your satsang and teachings are direct, lucid and consistent. And most importantly they are unique. The satsangs must go on.
    Many regards -
    Dinesh
