Help from you

[Guest guest]

I have been asked to write an article on Unconditional Love and how the

different cultures and religions have conceived it thru history. In

other words, its not only about cheking how its perceived in different

religions and expressed but also, if there has been an evolution

inside each religion regarding the concept of Unconditional love.

 

Its a quite big issue, we could write tons of books about it, but well,

this little magazine with no budget and no money can´t print more than

28 pages...

 

Its my first experience as journalist writing about spiritual issues,

so I feel a deep sens of responsability in doing this. When I was

journalist, I wasn´t spiritual and now, after an awakening period well,

I feel kind of wierd going back to the old field of journalism with

this new and transformed being-non being called "me".

 

My question to you is if you can give me some hints on what hinduism or

Indian spirituality considers to be Unconditional Love and how it has

been evolving thru history, if there is such an evolution.

 

This is a non profit magazine and a non profit work in terms of

material profit... lol

 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

 

 

 

Ps. I am covering already the christian view, the buddhist one, and I

will be asking aswell help from our jewish friends in the path as I am

not too familiarised with judaism...if anyone has clues on judaism I

would also be interested in hearing from you..

 

It is funny how we teach what we need to learn...heheh what a message

for me from the Universe! lol

I do not, given its total commitment to the notions of the existence of unending

hells, and you only get once chance at the Brass Ring, pay much attention to

Xtianity's notion of U.L....

Good luck with that article!

--About unconditional love in the Hinduism: for finding a

reference, it is easy, the famous Bhagavad Gîtâ is an Hinduist

hymn to unconditional love. For instance :

--"Devoted- with a heart grown pure, restrained

In lordly self-control, forgoing wiles

Of song and senses, freed from love and hate,

Dwelling 'mid solitudes, in diet spare,

With body, speech, and will tamed to obey,

Ever to holy meditation vowed,

>From passions liberate, quit of the Self,

Of arrogance, impatience, anger, pride;

Freed from surroundings, quiet, lacking nought-

Such an one grows to oneness with the BRAHMAN;

Such an one, growing one with BRAHMAN, serene,

Sorrows no more, desires no more; his soul,

Equally loving all that lives, loves well

Me, Who have made them, and attains to Me."

--(from the Chapter XVIII, translation of Sir Edwin Arnold").

--Namaste.

---About unconditional love in the Hinduism as expressed in the

Bhagavad Gîtâ :

"Such an one, growing one with BRAHMAN, serene,

Sorrows no more, desires no more; his soul,

Equally loving all that lives, loves well

Me, Who have made them, and attains to Me."

--"Me", there, is historically the God Krishna. But in the Hinduist

thought, "Me" is also metaphysically the other Gods: Shiva,

Ganesha...; all are various manifestations of the Whole Unity,

called the Brahman.

> --Om Ganesha.

--About the unconditional love in Judaism: I am not a Jew. But I

can repeat a reading from the more lively core of the judaism, the

Talmud:

--"Be a man who loves peace, who follows peace, who loves the

mankind and let it approach the Divine Law (the Torah)". Talmud,

Pirke Abboth, 1, 12; author: Rabbi Hillel, one of the most famous

and peaceful rabbis of the middle history of judaism.

--I. Epstein, another and more recent commentator ("Judaism",

1959 and re-editions), says that this sentence applies verily to all

the mankind, not to jews only.

--Om Ganesha.
