if a discourse is based purely on direct experience (evidence) and not at all on authoritatively settled doctrine, i feel comfortable saying "with no dogma". Maharaj does not refer to any teachings or doctrine other than being instructed by his teacher to let go of all of the illusions attached to the concept "I am".
His questioners in the book do sometimes bring up doctrine from their personal history, but Maharaj always responds directly from experience of reality.
- rhizome 16y agoI appreciate that, but my point is more that the assertion that reality has a nature at all is dogmatic. This may be an issue more with your description than the actual teachings, though, which is fine. I'm not saying anything is worthless here. :)
