Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Dear Friends, <br><br> I have received a very thoughtful question from a co-sadhaka. He writes ......" There had been many incarnations of God like Krishna Rama Buddha etc. and there had been many of his great angels coming down to earth to teach us the message of Love, peace and religion. Great souls like Christ, Mohamed, Guru Nanak, Kabir, Vivekananada, Yogananada, came to earth and spread the message of God. BUT they all togather could not eradicate the sorrows and grief from the world. I see the world after these great soul's arrivals did not change. We are as mean as we were, we are as non-religious as we were, and we are as non-loving as we were. Still there are wars, still there is hatered and still there is tyrranny.<br><br> Does it mean God him self or his angels all could not fight with the evil in us. Did God's Mission Fail ?? """<br><br> I request all my co-sadhakas to present their views on this question, so that I could send him a well discussed reply.<br><br>thanks<br><br><br>silentsoul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 A very important question silentsoul, especially for some of us who so very much want to draw a clear line between good and evil.<br>It seems that with the advent of all the great souls, there always has taken place a quantum jump in mankind's understanding of spiritual issues as a whole. One suspects a supreme intelligence working behind these happenings(incarnations) to cause the evolution process.<br>Although Vivekananda is not here now but his teachings still echo and all of us are still in the process of assimilating them. But why does it appear that when the very same teachings when told by Vivekananda directly had a tremendous impact upon people ? even on seemingly spiritually unievolved ones ?<br>What is this force behind the teachings of all the great ones that make them so effective in our spiritual evolution when coming directly from the 'horse's mouth', so to say ?<br>Though wars are sad, but aren't they the culmination (karma-phala) of certain faults within ourselves ? Hence wars are sad but why are we bent upon labelling them as BAD while actually the fault lies elsewhere !<br>It is something like blaming the effect rather than cause. But the series of cause and effect runs very long for each cause is an effect of another one.<br>Why shouldn't we go at the root cause of all "evil" ?<br>The wars, the hatred and tyranny are all but effects of some of our faults.<br>All the great ones, it seems, have come to remove this chain of cause-effect as deeply as possible rather than remove the gross efects like wars. That would be just symptomatic relief !<br>It is said and many of us may have observed sometimes that when we get the graces of a satguru, why do we have to pass through terrible difficulties and struggle at first ?<br>Do the teachings from books do this kind of 'proper' job ? May be in some 'ready' people.<br>"For I am still a fool after aeons of learning, that you have to come again and again to gently teach me", wonder how long will this gentle teachings go on until we, due to our inherent foolishness, really #@$% it up.<br>Excuse the 'emotions', but no better word for what mankind is headed to.<br>regards really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Dear Silentsoul....<br><br>I must reply to your co-sadhaka's question: "Did God's mission fail".<br><br>God never fails...we do. Because we were given<br>free will, God won't interfere with our nonsense of war, inhumanity, hatred and all the other perversions of His divine will. He simple wants us to quit misqualifying His Light and return to His consciousness...that's what the ascension is all about.<br>In addition, the angels won't interfere unless we invoke their assistance.<br><br>With all the Messengers, angels, prophets that have been sent to raise our consciousness we still outpicture hate and hate creations because we simple aren't listening but become caught up<br>in the human side of life and don't outpicture the divine.<br><br>Thank you for letting me put in my two cents' worth.<br><br>Respectfully,<br><br>Blueraybird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Hello silentsoul.....<br><br>I for one do not think God's mission failed, I think if it failed we would not be here talking about this.....Tell your friend I do not choose to think of the negitive...I can feel the love flow into my body as I am trying to come up with words, I choose to send this love out to the world, If we all choose to send this love out to the world who knows Gods plan might be right on target.......heehee<br><br>I am sending peace and love for one another and it is on the wind......Namaste jeffrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Dearest Silent Soul!<br>This will never happen. Remember, we are awaiting the last yuga incarnation of Lord Krsna as Lord Kalki who will destroy the demons, restore dharma, and rescue the faithful. There is not coincidence that this incarnation resembles the return of Lord Jesus with the same mission.<br><br>jaya kalkiaya namah<br><br>>:*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Om mahotsAhAya namah!<br><br>We chose to experience this human existence because of an misunderstanding that we are individuals. Through study of scripture, like Sri Sankara's "The Crest Jewel of Wisdom," we learn right understanding about our oneness and through meditation we verify the Truth.<br>God's mission is right on, acceptance of this can aleviate a lot of mental gymnastics. <br>Namaste'<br>In Love and Peace, Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Most of the people the great saints came directly in contact with, with were blessed. Many more were inspired. <br>Incidentally, most of them were not there at the same time on this earth. If they were, may be the world would have been a different place.<br>God didnt fail, I dont believe God can fail. God tried to deal with humanity in a peaceful manner. <br>As Peggy said, and as many religions have talked about, it is time for God to come down and judge mankind.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 hmmm.. interesting question...<br><br>i am reminded of the countless times in this life<br>that i have looked at my life and spiraled downward<br>into depression as i reviewed what i saw as my<br>failures... in hindsight convinced if only i had<br>done this or that.... i would not have failed...<br><br>i was taught as a child that god is omnipotent, <br>omnipresent, omniscent... i have come to believe<br>that this is true, that there is only the One...<br>all-present, all-knowing, all-powerful...<br><br>this weekend i went for a psychic reading... and<br>was told that i find myself now on path a... in<br>about three months, i will make a decision to take<br>either path b or c... but that i am really headed<br>for path d.... and that path b and path c both<br>lead straight to path d... <br><br>who am i? am i divinity manifesting? if i am, how<br>can i fail? or am i rather a creation of divinity?<br>if i am, will divinity abandon me to fail? and if<br>divinity is all-present... where could i go to <br>become abandoned? where is there not divinity?<br><br>i am so small... so insignificant in this large<br>wonderous beautiful creation of endless universes..<br>and yet, whether i am divinity, or child of<br>divintiy, it seems as if there is no possiblity of<br>me failing...and if not me, then how can god fail? <br><br>is there such a thing as failure? and if i choose<br>path b, when i reach a time of struggle, will i<br>forget it leads only to path d? and look back, and<br>say, oh i should have taken path c.. i have failed.<br><br>this sight of mine is so limited... how much of<br>what i see do i truly understand? how much do i<br>truly understand of the vastness of the one? those<br>happenings that i label as successes or failures,<br>are they in fact either? or are these ideas of<br>success and failure only a sign of the limited<br>understandings of my mind?<br><br>i do not know... but i think the divinity does... <br><br>namaste.<br><br>om shanti shanti shanti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 dear hermitsrus and peggy It is not a question of Negativity or the next incarnation. If nine incarnations of Krishna could not do anything to restore peace, we can not expect more from tenth.<br><br> The question I feel deals with the human psyche. So Many incarnations and prophets, could not change the world. A man of today is not better than a man of yesteryears.<br><br> I think the prophets and incarnations gave a certain way to attain Moksha and those who follow them correctly get it, others continue with their plight. and the chosen ones are not many, the best are a few.<br><br> I also feel, there can never be total peace in the universe because there can be No positive energy without negative energies.
