Guest guest Posted November 9, 1995 Report Share Posted November 9, 1995 Now we are getting somewhere. The last two are thoguht provoking, but still not satisfactory to me, thanks to my ignorant status. I felt all living things had souls, hebnce my earlier statement that all souls are conserved. I gather the debate between advaita and visihista- dwaita is whether the Paramata and Jivatma exist apart. I look at one's own life here as an occupation of a seat or body and return again to get another seat, except of course you skip the musical chair game, if you attain nirvana. Then you hover around up there next to the paramatman . The question is what do you do while here. I still feel that purpose of life here is to have mental peace even when time is hanging on you. Most of the time , you are busy with work or kriya. You are in sleep o f death a third of the time. Will you be in a state of calm or bliss if you find something to do, that does not affect other souls around you? Or should you be in a state of bhakti? How do you come to terms with the modern world of technology and physical knowledge. I cannot accept that our Acaryas of the past could have visualized all this and the world of 100+ nations. I do not in anyway ignore their remarkable wisdom and wit. Bajgovindam attests to it. If there was one God, would he have tried to reveal himself as the one for all the universe? Or is it his "maya" that we continue to live in ignorance. Does one have to ponder on these or skip it and get along with hsi immediate tasks and await death? If I have been out of place, excuse me, it is muy way of getting to know what does PofL mean? Krish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
