Guest guest Posted December 26, 2000 Report Share Posted December 26, 2000 If you read in the news that someone have taken some children as hostage and is asking the government for 2 million dollars as an exchange for those children then you are certainly aware of that some children are presently being abused. But that awareness doesn't make you into a criminal, even if you don't take any measures to prevent it. Awareness of something criminal doesn't necessarily make someone into a criminal. On the other hand if you personally take the responsibility to establish a school and within that school the teachers are also personally authorized by you to teach, then if those teachers are sexually abusing the children and you are perfectly aware of it and are not taking immidiate actions against it then you are considered a criminal according to both material and spiritual law. It is not possible to love God and at the same time have children being sexually abused under your personal authority while you are aware of it. Not only that you are aware of it but you are not taking measures to stop it. If someone wants to establish that such a socalled spiritual society is approved by the Lord then I am the first one to reject such a society as being a bluff and not a society meant for developing love of God. -- There are fifty qualities found in the Lord that sometimes are also very minutely exhibited in living beings. Apart from those basic fifty qualities of the Lord there are five other qualities of the Lord that are partially present in demigods like Lord Siva. Omniscience is one of those five extra qualities. Lord Siva is not only a mukta but he is also a tattva by himself and thus he stands above other living entities but still the quality of omniscience is only partially present in him. Partially means not fully. Madhya 23.76) " 'Krsna is the Supreme, and He is always glorified as the Supreme Lord and controller. Thus all the previously mentioned transcendental qualities are in Him. The fifty qualities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead above mentioned are as deep as an ocean. In other words, they are difficult to fully comprehend. Madhya 23.77) " 'These qualities are sometimes very minutely exhibited in living beings, but they are fully manifest in the Supreme Personality of Godhead.' Madhya 23.78) " 'Apart from these fifty qualities, there are five other qualities found in the Supreme Personality of Godhead that are partially present in demigods like Siva. Madhya 23.79) " 'These qualities are (1) the Lord is always situated in His original position, (2) He is omniscient, (3) He is always fresh and youthful, (4) He is the concentrated form of eternity, knowledge and bliss, and (5) He is the possessor of all mystic perfection." -------- Conclusion: Only the Supreme Lord is fully omnisicent. (At least if we shall belive the teachings of the Lord Himself. The above teachings are delivered by Lord Caitanya Himself.) Y.s.
