Posted on May 7, 2017 #1 AuthorIt is good to know how to differentiate whether the deity being taken trance of is enlightened or not. We should only rely on enlightened deities as unenlightened deities have limited powers and cannot see whether the advice given is good in the long run. So, the advice given may cause us problems eventually.
Basically the key point is that when an enlightened being takes trance, they are given respect and homage instead of the other way around.
Good to know.
