He also was arrested on the early morning of August 29 on suspicion of burglary.

Officers were dispatched to a liquor and vape shop before 2 a.m. in his first alleged robbery. Police say they saw Gilbert walking toward the exit carrying a bag, after finding a glass door shattered with large cement chunks from the parking lot.

The total value stolen was worth just under $1,700.

At the time of his first arrest, head coach Matt Rhule said the 21-year-old sophomore was going through some personal issues.

"Had been really proud of the job he had done in the spring and summer, but, to be honest, during camp he's had some struggles, and he's been working to overcome them," Rhule said. "We have a great group of people here trying to help him, and obviously last night happened. Disappointed for him and his family and disappointed obviously for the business owner, and we'll have to work through it as we move forward."

Gilbert is still awaiting NCAA eligibility after he transferred from Georgia, where he spent each of the last two seasons. He also played at LSU for one year.

Gilbert was a five-star recruit who was the top-ranked tight end prospect and 2019 Gatorade National Player of the Year.

He transferred to Georgia and sat out the 2021 season. He played in three games for the Bulldogs last season en route to their second straight championship.

The Lumpkin County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to a request to send records of the arrest.

33 Crore Gods (Devi / Devtas) of Hindus

33 Crore Gods of Hindus For the believers of God, it is an accepted faith across the globe that God is one. Hindus too believe so, but then there remains a question often shaped as a mockery over Hindus about the various practices of worship rendered to innumerous God in their faith. And this question is often thrown by people, who are philosophically and religiously recognized. How come Hindu religion has 33 crore Gods? Is it sensible at all to believe and practice this? I have a question – How can one decide what is sensible and what is not, particularly when none of those great thinkers have attained perfection in realization of God, none of them have seen God, none of them have heard God. There are numerous instances where religion, religious books and their beliefs have tried to define God. Criticism is an easy thing to do but we have coins with two sides always. Realization of the positive side and its practice is not only hard to recognize but difficult to accept as well. Critic...

OSHO on Ramakrishna

Sri Ramakrishna Enlightenment Osho : There is an episode in Ramakrishna’s life.... For his whole life he had been worshipping Mother Kali, But at the very end he began to feel,”It is duality; the experience of oneness has still not happened. It is lovely, delightful, but two still remains two.” Someone loves a woman, someone loves money, someone politics; he loved Ma Kali – but love still was divided in two. Still the ultimate nonduality hadn’t happened and he was in anguish. He began looking out for a nondualist, a Vedantist – for Some person to come who could show him the path. A Paramahansa named Totapuri was passing. Ramakrishna invited him to stop with him and asked, ”Help me to have darshan of the one.” Totapuri said, ”What’s difficult in that? You believe there are two, so there are two. Drop the belief!” Ramakrishna replied, ”But dropping this belief is very difficult – I have lived with it my whole life. When I close my eyes the image of Kali is standing there. I drown ...
