Our specific standard > of knowledge is that it is not speculative. I think we still can think and express to others what we think. What do you think? Or you don't think -- you "know" it. Seriously, but one should discriminate in between "I think"-s that refer to the philosophical conclusions and "I think"-s that are simply the way of expressing what we, the sentient human beings, do think. Otherwise, simply avoiding using "I think" will help just nothing in regard of determining wether something said is a sastric conclusion or not. You think so also? > We have to be honest with ourselves and ask, "Am I a pure devotee?" If > the answer is "no", then we should be aware of our shortcomings. .... and if the answer is "yes", then we should be aware of our being in illusion and on a very neophyte level in devotional service. What a "litmus" test-question. It always turns blue, wether you put in an alkali or in an acid. > So much trouble has been caused by "premature purity". You really think so? (just joking, I know that you are avoiding to utter "I think" in order to not look non-sastric) ys .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
