Symbol of conch and personal stuff

[Guest guest]

Greetings Jen:

 

You have raised several valid and important questions

that arise in everyone's mind sometime or other. There

is nothing unusual about such thoughts and they always

come and go. Dreams and thoughts are quite alike and

they bring happiness and sorrow, courage and fear,

good and evil, etc. We do recognize that dreams are

not 'real' and consequently they have no effects

except for some temporary emotional disturbances

during sleep.

 

I don't think that I am knowledgeable enough to answer

all the questions that you raised. We raise questions

when we have doubts and our doubts create fear and

confusion. The best source for finding the answers

for your questions is 'Bhagavad Gita,' and many

translations of Gita are available and you can buy

them in the internet from Barnes & Noble or Borders or

Amazon.com. If you search the archives of this list,

you can collect the complete discussions commentaries

for the first four chapter. Gita is also available in

the Internet in the electronic form in different

languages. I have no doubt in my mind that if you

read and follow the messages of Gita, you will be able

to understand, that 'we don't need to renounce the

world that we live.' On the contrary, we recognize to

renounce our doubts by just focusing our life with

faith and conviction.

 

I have addressed your question regarding Conch in a

separate post.

 

regards,

 

Ram Chandran
