Do you for a moment think 'animals ' or for that matter even the green 'grass' have no cosnciousness or 'feelings' ? ... Once , Sri Ramakrishna Pramahamsa was meditating in the Panchavati garden when he heard some cows grazing on the green grass. Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was disturbed by the sound of the cows grazing nearby and he came out of his meditation session - Sri Ramakrishna then summoned the Dakshineshwar Temple servants to 'shoo' away the cows and asked them to feed the cows ! Then Thakore removed his shirt and the temple servants saw 'red red marks' on Thakore's back - the servants were taken aback -and the reason for all those 'red marks ' on Takore's back was he felt the 'pain' the Grass was suffering when so many cows trampled on the Grass , crushing them under their feet! After i read this story, i never like to walk on the 'Grass' anymore nor do i like to pluck a flower from a plant ! Believe me , plants or trees do have 'cosciousness ' of sorts ! ( We honor Maa Prakriti in any form) ! so, from this i learned even grass has 'consciousness' ! ( is it *inhuman* to think so? ) |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Namaste DhyanaSaraswatiji, Good to hear from you in your own words about the continuum of consciousness. Anything that exists is Consciousness. People seem to be shy about engaging in a discussion about the Vedas and Darwinism which is odd as by repute most of the expats are of the engineering class with background in science. Do you see any conflict there yourself? Best Wishes, Michael. PS. Tell Swami Ramdev I will accept a seer of Brinjal Oil in liue of fee for the propagation of my thoughts.
