From Projection to Identification

Adhyäsa is identification. Our mind often sings the song of
whatever it sees or experiences outside. Thus, when I go to condole
with a friend of mine on the death of his wife, I start weeping.
My wife is sitting next to me, wondering why I should weep.
But I weep because I identify with the sorrow in my friend’s mind.
And therefore, I too suffer. This is identification.
Go to a surgical ward, go to an operation theatre – and you
will find that very many people get dizzy and fall down. Why?
Sympathy. The patient doesn’t know anything because he is

Spiritual life is all-inclusive. A mere
SUBHA VARMA PATHIAL partial effort with one aspect
of your personality is not good
Newberg, OR, U.S.A. enough to register progress.
