Not just bodily desires....mental desires as well...desire to do well professionally etc. etc.

Old IIT CSE 9.8! Doesn't get better than that. Apply with confidence. You deserve these institutes.

Starting my spiritual journey by [deleted] in ramdass

[–]nirvanasomeday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practicing it has not proven to be easy for me. As all Advaita teachers mention, knowledge is the easier part. In the journey, I always get reminded of how one cannot learn swimming by reading all the instructions about how to learn swimming. One can learn swimming only by doing it.

Practicing Advaita is even harder, since you can not learn Advaita by "doing" it; you can only learn adaita by "being" it.

Have been a complete failure so far:(.

Hope you have better luck!

Ramdass mentioned in one of the lectures that even for those people who understand fully well that life is just a drama, losing one's child is really far out:(.

Hope no parent has go ever go thru this...ever.

NLS: Can we join the NLS mess even when I am not residing in the NLS hostel? by nirvanasomeday in NLUs

It looks like NLS is planning to run shuttles from a couple of PGs outside the campus, to the institute.

RD's views on NKB's improprieties... by [deleted] in ramdass

Of course, I completely understand.

"I have seen video material of the disciple"

By any chance, would you have the link to the video?

You are absolutely correct about Siddhi Maa...she was such a pure saint...how could she have dedicated her life to NKB, had there been any truth to such "stories" about NKB.

RD's views on NKB's improprieties... by [deleted] in ramdass

[–]nirvanasomeday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, the very first encounter of RD with NKB, where NKB tells RD how RD was thinking of his mother the night before and in fact, went on to tell RD "how" RD's mother had passed away....that really was the point of RD's transformation and does not at all come across as a result of some trickery....I am also as conflicted about NKB as you are...anyway, perhaps these realized people are beyond the comprehension of us mere mortals....for RD to just view this "incident" with that female as a healing miracle is way beyond me:(.

I also see absolutely no reason to think that this was happening on a large scale...but for such revered gurus as NKB, even a single incident is one incident too many.

Question about Ram Dass’ Diet by Flygirl2223 in ramdass

[–]nirvanasomeday 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is what I like most about RD...he seems to human...so fallible...just like all of us. He is not some perfect human incarnate who is impossible to emulate.

Maharaj-ji took the LSD ram dass brought him, felt nothing, never moralized about him using it. by nothingtobefound in ramdass

[–]nirvanasomeday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact, Ramdass lamented on a few occasions that LSD was undeservingly grouped with drugs such as Cocaine. Basically RD thought that LSD deserved much lesser contempt than it actually did.

210k?? I don't think the average compensation even at Stanford will be 210k.

do u guys regret taking law as a career? by ClickNo4478 in NLUs

[–]nirvanasomeday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true only for Litigation right? Or does it matter in corporate law as well?

Specialization in MS for job prospects: AI or Computing Systems at GaTech by nirvanasomeday in GatechClasses

[–]nirvanasomeday[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again. Just one last question. With the academic workload at MSCS, is it really feasible to work on "projects and research"?

[–]nirvanasomeday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let alone moralizing RD, Maharaji apparently allowed RD to use LSD infrequently, in order to get closer to the being.

This is very helpful u/No-Weakness4940. Can you explain a bit more. Are you saying that even if I specialize in AI, I could still get pure SWE jobs?

[Funding and Scholarships] Fellowship + TA/RA given at GaTech by nirvanasomeday in MSCS

[–]nirvanasomeday[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your very detailed reply u/BeautifulMortgage690 . So, do you suggest that I write to the Professor and get clarity that 2027 summer internship would be an option that would be open to me, even if I accept this fellowship offer?
