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.

Osho Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state. Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on...

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 ...
