Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Reminds me something I heard somewhere: What never questions for anything, but gets very hardly pressed for answers all the time? A DOOR BELL :-) If your call is not answered there are only two possibilities (a) Either You are pressing the wrong door bell -- or (b) People living inside the household are not in a position to hear you. :-) In case of this Advaitin list the possibility of point "B" never arises. Advaitin list objective is to discuss the Philosophy taught by our Great Acharya Sri Adi Shankara. Now the question, are we ignoring the vedas by indulging more in discussions? In my opinion, the answer is NO! However, you don't get to see much discussions on the other subjects, otherthan Advaitic philosophy, because you can't discuss everything under the Sun! We respect all the paths. Of course, we are the believers of that great Rigvedic saying "aanO bhadrO kratavO yaMtu vishvataH" - Let noble thoughts come from all the sides. Which ever is noble, what ever does good to the humanity --- is always welcome. In that perspective, Advaita not only talks/teaches about the highest goal that a man should attain, but also indirectly points out "how to achieve peace and hormony in the present day living society"... So I believe by discussing Advaita we are making a human a noble human; we are making a man a happy man!

My point was if this is the case are we forgetting to take notice of what naturally lies on the way ? May be in the Quest of the "Self", solutions that we often hopelessly seek, knock at our door, is it likely that, many a times, we don't even hear the knock ?
