Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Dear Brothers, Great explanantions. Thanks I agree with Br. Vinayaka. The below explanation will also be added to your replies, as I heard from one of the Siddhar, Sri KagaPujandar said with an example. "Assume oneself in a room, where it is black dark no light. One cannot see any object in front of him or his body is also not visible him. But the moment when the light is on, all objects are visible to him immediately without any explanation. Sri Arjuna was like a person in a dark room. It was in a negligible amount of time (moment Lord Krishna preached GITA) Sri Arjuna got the wisdom" Also I unserstand there are people who are beyond *unit*, *place* and *time* .. regards Aras On 1/1/07, Vinayaka <vinayaka_ns > wrote: > > advaitin <advaitin%40>, "Ram > Chandran" <ramvchandran > wrote: > > Gandhij stresses the importance of faith and conviction while > reading Gita in the following paragraphs: > > " A prayerful study and experience are essential for a correct > interpretation of the scriptures.
