Guest guest Posted April 3, 2001 Report Share Posted April 3, 2001 i am still here silent soul! i have a major exam this saturday to take that was taking so much of my time. In fact, babuji scolded me for posting instead of studying!<br><br>This thought came to me regarding bhakti and jnana yoga as i was reading something else..<br><br>"There is no difference between devotion and perfect knowledge. A person who is engrossed in devotion enjoys perpetual happiness. And perfect knowledge never decends in a vicious person adverse to devotion." Siva Purana<br><br>As far as our journey goes, there is neither good karma nor bad karma. Both states are only experiences that provide us a chance for spiritual growth. Even the most dreadful karma when faced with wisdom is merely a catalyst for profound spiritual enlightenment. The mahajanas tell us that it is want that mires us in repeated birth and death. Escape comes by renouncing our want and submitting ourselves to the want of God.<br><br>om tat sat<br><br>>:*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 Ref: 606<br><br>Dear Sir/Madam, and also Vinod,<br>I am sorry if I am replying out of turn. I suppose this is in response to my writings wherein I say that Shiva and the Gods/Goddesses were all human beings once upon a time; and I go about seeing mythology as history.<br><br>Re: “I don’t agree Shiva with…”<br>What can be definite then? Shiva has lived such a long time ago that to get to the bottom of it, and to get the truth as is; is like searching a needle in the haystack. So “Just go for it…” irrespective of the results, people will respond in different manner, and there would be a common factor in the majority that is the nearest to the part concerning Shiva during his times. This is so as all the scriptures through out the world basically deal with the very basic nature of man; and which has remained unchanged through out the ages, the only thing that has changed is the priorities.<br><br>How much ever mud slinging is done on these Gods/Goddesses, even if they were really humans in flesh and blood once upon a time, tarnishing them is out of question; as they are our direct or indirect ancestors, and our ancestors are the reason for us to be here as on today, and we value ourselves.<br><br>Re: “What about those criminals and rapists…”<br>I believe that the heaven, the earth, and the hell are all here; we start from a point and end at the same point. What are criminals and rapists? Why are they so? Could the society (which means us) also be responsible to give rise to such “antisocial” elements?<br><br>This does not mean that the antisocial elements should not get the punishment. It simply means that after the punishment is executed does not mean that the core problem is solved, and a hint is given to the potential antisocial elements. What is required is also to peep within ourselves to see where could we have gone wrong.<br><br>Thank you, and with regards,<br>Jai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
