Sacred CowsNo sacred cows survive the realization of the nonconceptual,
and one's realization becomes independent from any belief or teaching.
He recognizes that who and what he is is ultimately beyond any
category, including all the spiritual categories. He realizes
that Reality is not a description, and that any description, any
teaching or belief system regardless how useful and accurate,
falls short of Reality as it is. He recognizes the uniqueness
of his realization without having to compare it with others, and
appreciates the differences between the various teachings without
having to rate them. His realization has gone beyond conceptual
categories and, hence beyond comparisons and ratings. He believes
in nothing, and adheres to no teaching or religion as final and
ultimate. He has become a universal heretic, embracing all, yet
free of all. (Inner Journey Home, pg 343) |
