Dear ALL,
Further to earlier guidelines in preceding post, above - all are requested to also be familiar with the guidelines in the post made to a member, earlier, below -

Dear jaycdp,
Earlier, there used to be a lot of ‘back-biting’ - directly, indirectly, or subtly – on this forum, between members affiliated to different groups and having different opinions about the Knowledge. Most of such members no longer post on this forum, and many of them have even left the Knowledge completely.
Presently, mostly everyone appreciates that there are going to be different groups, with differences of opinion about the Knowledge, until the end of Confluence Age. Therefore, they are facilitated to post in a group to which they belong to – exclusively - without feeling the need or urge to interfere with, or even comment about, the ideas or opinions of anyone else posting in any other group, or sub-forum.
Since, you do not appear to belong to any particular group – currently - you have the liberty to express your views on any post of any topic of any sub-forum, but it would be better to restrict your personal
CONFLICTING posts to an individual topic of your own, which has been created for you already. You are advised not to keep on posting your
CONFLICTING personal views and opinions in different sub-forums, since you may not be entirely clear about the belief systems to which other members may be affiliated, and who may feel offended by your
CONFLICTING personal views and opinions.
NO ONE will feel inclined to respond to your such CONFLICTING posts!
You can refer to any post from any topic of any sub-forum by creating a link to that post, but your
CONFLICTING post should appear only in the individual topic of your own, viz., = Personal Views and Questions of ex-BK 'jaycdp' = created exclusively for you in the sub-forum, = For Ex-BKs & Common Room =
You are always free to ask for genuine clarifications from anyone belonging to any group,
PROVIDED same are positive, constructive and for your own benefit, WITHOUT creating an impression that you know better than what anyone else believes in, and WITHOUT inadvertently causing any possible offence to anyone else!
The process of quoting from any other post of any other topic of any other sub-forum, was sent to you very much earlier, but you paid scant attention to same. The same has been referred to you, once again, in post dated 11 Dec 2022, in the topic = We receive our inheritance through Jagadamba = and in the sub-forum = Questioning, Discussing & Debating =
The relevant guidelines are reiterated below -
In order to quote a particular point in any post of any member, you have to click on the “Reply with quote” button appearing on the top-most right-hand corner; this will automatically open a new window, along with the entire original post, which also contains a link to the original post. If there are several points in the original post, you can delete those which are not required, in the window itself, and retain only the one which you are commenting on, taking care to retain the topmost line, and the second line which indicates the date of the Murli, if any, and the bottom most line, as in the example below -
The first OPEN "quote" line which contains the link - within brackets, viz. []
The second line which has the date of the Murli - if any
The required point within the original post which you wish to comment on
The last END "quote" line - within brackets, viz. []
Alternatively, you may simply copy the topmost line, along with the second (if any), and the last line, and paste same separately on a word file on your laptop. These lines should appear separately, one above the other. Then copy the required point of the original post and paste same between the second and the last line. After this you can make your required comments, after leaving two lines below the last END "quote" line.
This would then be the actual post which you require to make.
Simply copy this from your laptop and paste same in a COMPLETELY blank window of your new post, and you will get the same result.
Since you are now requested to restrict your own
CONFLICTING posts to only one single topic of your own, viz., = Personal Views and Questions of ex-BK 'jaycdp' = created exclusively for you in the sub-forum, = For Ex-BKs & Common Room = it would be best for you to proceed as follows –
1. Click on the “Reply with quote” button appearing on the top-most right-hand corner of ANY post, of ANY topic, within ANY sub-forum.
2. Copy the topmost line (OPEN "quote" line which contains the link); along with the second line (which has the date of the Murli - if any); and the last line (END "quote" line), and paste same separately on a word file on your laptop, one above the other.
3. Then copy the required point within the original post which is to be quoted, and paste same between the second and the last line - or the first and the last line, as the case may be. (This will ensure that the required quote appears in a SEPARATE block, above your comments – which you have to make BELOW this block, and NOT within it)!
4. After this you can make your required comments, after leaving two lines below the last END "quote" line (which will then appear below the SEPARATE block when you finally ‘Submit’ your post.) This would then be the actual post which you require to make.
5. The topic designation of the original post which you desire to quote will appear in the Subject: window - on top of the original post which you desire to quote. Just copy this topic name from
THAT Subject: window, and paste it right on top of your new post,
ABOVE the first OPEN "quote" line which contains the link, so as to identify the topic of the post which you wish to quote. This will appear above the quote block of the original post, when you finally ‘Submit’ your post.
6. Simply copy this from your laptop, after checking for correct usage and grammar of the English language on your laptop itself, and paste same in a COMPLETELY blank window of your new post, which you desire to make – but this should NOT be made out in the original topic of the original sub-forum – but this should be made out in the single topic of your own, viz., = Personal Views and Questions of ex-BK 'jaycdp' = created exclusively for you in the sub-forum, = For Ex-BKs & Common Room = The topic designation of your current post will appear automatically in the Subject: window - on top of your current post, viz., = Personal Views and Questions of ex-BK 'jaycdp' =
7. After pasting above in the edit window, you may carry out further editing in the edit window itself. The topic designation of the original post may be made B (Bold); and Large (which can be selected by clicking on the arrow pointing downward in the 'Normal' window on top). Please note that for any of the top commands to take effect, you have to
FIRST SELECT the word, or words, or part of a sentence, or the whole sentence, or the paragraph, which you need to apply the command to - whether
B (Bold),
I (Italic),
U (Underline),
Colour,
Size, etc.
8. You can also check for any errors of the English language in the edit window on the forum itself. You can also 'Preview' your current post to ensure everything is in order before finally clicking on 'Submit'.
And finally click on ‘Submit’. That’s it!
