see God everywhere

[Guest guest]

"...We cannot interpret properly because our minds refuse to accept all this

intellectual drama. The easy method to reach Him is through Bhajans. Then

there is Vedanta, which is the final path. It is discussive in nature and is

quite

interesting. The result is a big waste of time. That is why Nama Sankeertana

is the best method. Silence yourself and sing internally. Don't hurt any one

else. Look after yourself and see God everywhere. His plays are complicated

and

we cannot comprehend all that...."

So do i understand correctly, even Nama Sankeertana is useful only if

combined with silencing oneself, not only outwardly, but silencing one´s

thoughts,

wishes, etc,

with Ahimsa - not hurting anyone, not even with one´s thoughts

and with seeing God everywhere?

so in this case these two paths Bhakti and Vedanta are very similar in my

opinion, as in neither of them one can escape from silencing inwardly, being

alone a lot (remember the maidens bangles), Ahimsa, non-violence (also in

one´s thinking, not only in one´s deeds)

and seeing God everywhere?

the self inquiry in Vedanta serves the purpose of seeing God everywhere, so

there´s not a lot of difference between the two?

and singing without silencing oneself mentally , without ahimsa in words,

deeds and thoughts

and without seeing God everywhere will

lead nowhere?

 

Anyone any opinion? if so, please mail to either Dattavani or

ps: to be silent, alone a lot, see maidens bangles in 24 teachers of Lord

Datta,

seems to mean to be without a cell phone, tv set, radio etc, internet during

one´s being alone time,doesn´t it?
