Guest guest Posted October 15, 1999 Report Share Posted October 15, 1999 I wanted to write how much I appreciate Shri Madhava's post of his message: > > Scriptures are definitely helpful for somebody who thinks that he is >bound, who thinks that he wants to get liberated. Scriptures are saying >that "you are not bound". > > How do I know that I am not bound unless I am told by somebody or >something? I would name that somebody as "Guru", and I would name that >something as "Scripture". In the absence of a Teacher, one should always >look at scriptures ("tasmAt SAstraM pramANaMtE" - Bh.G). Bhagawad Gita >itself is a scripture. It advises "traiguNya vishayA vEdAh, nistriguNyO >bhavArjuna", "vedas speak of triguNas, you should be devoid of triguNas." Scriptures are helpful and for some are the awakening stimulus to persue truth further, for others, they are a mainstay on the road to recognizing truth. Even the chanting of sacred scriptures sets a vibration energy which elevates the soul. As complex, interdimensional beings we should be open to every avenue that can remind us who and what we are! - Art Gregory lgregory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
