be true to yourself , pray and development a deep yearning for god, your own mind will become your guru.

does religion have alot to do with the spritual growth and development of the yearning soul ? or is religion the first grade in spirituality that once crossed serves no purpose afterwards. i feel too much time and effort is given to religion and society forces one to come back down to this "first grade" to fit in with everyone .

the ideal life would be to eat to survive without causing harm to any creature. this is imposible, for us to live something has to be eaten, that's where plants come in .

what impurity is there that the name of god cannot purify ?

sex in marrage is good like everything else in proportion , its when sex ( expression of love in a physical way) turns to lust and desire starts to cloud the mind , then does it become harmful. there is time for everything. this is the second stage in life , the householder, just think of god and this is god's toy to you to enjoy only for a while, enjoy with god's blessing and still try to keep your focus on the real things.

from my reading i have come to understand that foods with pungent or sharp smell and tastes are to be avoided. not because of sin, but as an aspiring spiritualist, avoiding these foods would help in controling of desire, be it sexual or taste wise. i think it depends of the level of control that the individual has that would determine waether or not they should eat hese foods. as sri ramakrishna says " a young plant must be well guarded, but when fully grown, an elephant can be tied to it " the plant would be your spiritual life and by avioding these things in early spiritual growth, later on when control is there, there is no need to abstain because you now have control over desires

if you are desirous of performing the fast, it should be followed by the recitation of the mariaman thalitu.

i have been to the kali temple in pasea . the one operated by pujarie Mootoo's wife, i believe the faith and goodness have dissappeared from this temple. in my opinion, this temple is only a front for making money !!

i believe that all is possible to one with faith, from my personal experience, when one becomes more god concious then one yearns for a quiet, peaceful place free from distractions.
