Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 What the ascending path does not take into consideration is the power of the Absolute Truth to make Himself known by the avaroha pantha. IOW, the empiric speculators take the a priori stance that there is no God to inform about Himself. Therefore they are considered less intelligent. ys, jdd > Hari bol > pamho > > Would anybody like to add to below conclusions some Vedic references?
