descrimination

What is the basis/reference to discriminate


Dear sir, I am talking about 'discrimination' at the spiritual and mental level; NOT physical, superficial discrimination based on caste, colour, etc


What is the basis/reference to discriminate at the spiritual and mental level



Oh, I see your point. This is an inborn ability, for people anchored in spirituality and the quest for God - realization. Relativism has no place in in the mind of a seeker. Interestingly, even if an individual starts off without any (as you said) "basis or reference", if his efforts towards God - realization are genuine and pure, he or she will soon gain a solid reference point / basis against which he or she can then discriminate mentally and spiritually. Such a person, in the words of Sri Ramkrishn Paramhans, becomes like a sieve - retaining the valuable, discarding the waste.

4 and we must know the context where to apply and not apply discrimination
thanks

The point is

1 every thing in the universe has different value at different levels of seeing , and these differences are valid and discrimination is right

2 at the same time, at fundamental level , we also see, all is the same one pure awareness, without any difference and discrimination is right but it is superficial , and we come out of conflicts in views
3 on relative plane we do / we must discriminate to avoid confusion
but i absolute plane we must also know that all are same, to avoid giving undue weight-age for differences, and create chaos , hatred, bias, negativity

rk treated gold and mud as one and threw both as a symbolic having gained access to true divinity in to himself , though he knows they have different value in market


In comparison with all other things at their all levels.....
like
in a periodic table of the elements ,
we see difference between iron and gold and discriminate , ascribe different values
we do not treat them as one,

but if we know the truth of our own existence, [ ultimate reference, ] that we are in essence only pure unmanifest awareness, then we come to know that every thing also is pure awareness in its essence, so we also overcome discrimination


Fantastic , thanks , i salute for your depth of knowledge. i concur
but a few more words,,,,,,

the basis/reference for 'discrimination' at the spiritual and mental level; and also physical, superficial---is the ultimate truth of existence


every thing, person, being, phenomena,

every article,particle, material,
every matter ,
including the mind and spirituality
have levels of existence, from grossest to subtlest to the ultimate beyond subtlest
from surface to deepest depths

if one gains access to the ultimate truth of existence, which is the true reference

he gains the ultimate ability to discriminate, to estimate value, categorize, rate, separate, and see in total perspective, seeing individual thing in comparison with all other things at their all levels
