Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 I joined this Club to learn about Hinduism.<br>What have I learned? Hindus fight among themselves; suffer wounded egos; attack with little provocation.......sheesh! Sounds like the conflicts of Christians, Muslims, Jews........<br>At least the Buddhists seem to be a peaceful lot.<br><br>And I thought you were different.........<br><br>Blueraybird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Dear Blueray bird,<br><br>People are people where ever you find them and whatever labels they attach to themselves. You will find true saints within Hinduism, Christianity, Islam and Judaism as well - but of course, they are few and far between. This is the age of quarrel and hipocracy - you will find those characteristics present everywhere. You will have to learn to 'find the nectar in the junkyard' as the bees do.<br><br>Hindus are different though. You would be hard pressed to find anyone elsewhere with the audacity to claim that they are God and yet be involved in such pedantry.<br><br>your servant,<br>Audarya lila dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 Dear Audarya:<br><br>Thank you. How true.<br><br>Ahh...but I have found the nectar, though I wouldn't call this club a "junkyard" )<br><br>I just become a bit disturbed when people are wrangling and attacking each other's credibility.<br>(It's the Buddha within my heart......)<br><br>Well...moving onward..........<br><br>blueray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 Dear Blueray bird,<br><br>I am not sure how well the analogy fit either - I was taking some poetic liscence.<br><br>Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was most generous in this regard - he said that we should judge a person by their goal - the vision that they have - and we should over look any faults we might percieve. All who come here are striving to improve themselves and have some vision of divine life - so it certainly isn't a junkyard in that sense.<br><br>Your servant<br>Audarya lila dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
