Ram/Comparison Between Indian (I) and Western (W) Religious Thoughts.

[Guest guest]

Dear Ram,

 

Thank you for the kind words as well. My dream is the end of nationalism

altogether, where humanity is united into one world culture, where there

are no countries and all the best features of every culture in the world is

combined into one, where people can travel anywhere in the world free of

borders and free of fear.

 

India (and the rest of the East) has much to offer the West with its rich

spiritual heritage. The West has also something to offer India, I think

(although it also endangers India and other countries due to its

"absorbtive" nature). Each culture has its own unique greatnesses (and its

own weaknesses). I think Ramakrishna and especially Vivekananda would

agree with my dreams (and I know J. Krishnamurti did). Humanity is One.

Nationalism has to end some day or humanity will destroy itself.

 

A world without borders... just people, not "tribes" of people... think

about it... it's almost beyond comprehension...

 

With Love,

Tim
