Tantrasara quotes - 1

''The transcendental reality is pure and infinite conciousness, possessing omniscience and omnipotence as well as a spiritual urge to manifest outwardly its divine powers in a playful manner. There is nothing existent in it which is to be removed away. The impression of duality is not any substantial truth that is to be removed away. It is only an absence of the experience of one's real nature. ''

  • Tantrasara of Abhinavagupta, Chapter IV

"When a man can eat his own feces with a real love for it, he has achieved a little bit. Not in perversion, but true oneness with all existence. You enjoyed the food which produced the feces; the only thing between the food and the feces is you. Is it really so repugnant? Feces is Atma just as your body ot consciousness. So who is feeding what to whom? Atma is feeding Atma to Atma."

  • Swami Vimalananda 👳

Besides vedic system being preliminary system of learning, in oneness there also operates intelect with its faculty of discernment, surely operating intelect can see the design that humans as expression are not design to eat faeces. In samadhi its possible that being immersed in oneness one doesn't differenciate, but then afterwards have no reccolection of deeds and here seems that swamini talks of practices with the effect in mind, so clearly she didn't arrive. But hey, everyone have its own journey, right?

Pretty sure it's a metaphor lol. The world feeds us shit every day (suffering). We have to learn to appreciate it as part of an immaculate and blissful whole.
