Vivek - homeless prophet

i don't understand everything he is saying (acoustically), but this man has definitly something special.
he is so humble. i feel ashamed of myself when watching this video (because i think i am so far away from being a truly lovin humble being).

the interviewers don't understand, what vivek is telling them. they're foling around - when yu watch this video, just focus on vivek.

what he tells is nothin new, but he touches me deeply.

Hi Alexander,

I found him inspiring to watch as well. He dares to speak what he experiences as the Truth and Reality of life, even though he acknowledges that he is he only at the very beginning of the spiritual path. If we wait until we have reached a high level of spiritual attainment, then people will likely put us on a pedestal. If we share ourselves freely even before this happens, they can identify themselves more with us, and realize that maybe they can dare as well to think and speak outside of what is considered the norm of their life or society. The challenge here is willingness to take the risk to possibly not always have an answer to everything people will challenge us with, and willingness to let the human ego be dismantled in the process of interacting with others. But it can be a great opportunity to crystallize, solidify and transcend our own awareness of Reality, when it's challenged by others.

Cool guy.

I thought everyone standing on the other side of the safety cone (and the close up) created a really humorous metaphor both physically and spiritually(intentional or not).

Well....dual levels here. I'm making mountains out of mole hills or molecules in his case.

The safety cone at the level of the pedestrians and the film crews consciousness might indicate that the crazy, psycho hobo was on the unsafe side and beware. Sort of a segregation of all that is uncomfortable from the rest of the "sane" world.

On another level, the safety cone could represent the dividing line between the truth and the maya.

Are you sorry you asked me? Heheheh. It is probably only funny to me.

LOL <---your queue to laugh out loud.....
