Guest guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Without evil there will be no value for good. And every human posses a evil side which is most of the time suppressed or unleashed. If given chance or there would be no law and fear of God are we ready to do any evil thing. Bad are those just got caught Good are those just suppressed the Evil side of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 You forgot without evil, most " moralists " & priests would go out of business, as there would no one to preach their morality to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Bhadraji, personally I dont like this word " evil " - it gives the wrong idea that there is something inherently evil or wrong in the world or its people. There is no evil- only ignorance. All sins are done in ignorance of our true Nature as beings og Truth-Conciousness-Bliss. In fact, anything done in ignorance can be called a sin. >>Bad are those just got caught >>Good are those just suppressed the Evil side of themselves. There is no repressed evil in anyone- rather there is only a lack of wisdom. This lack of wisdom forces them to make the same mistakes again & again, but that isnt repressed evil, just a lack of correct thinking. Why call certain acts/people evil? If Hitler hadnt destroyed Europe, countries like India would still be slaves. How can we judge what is required for the Divine plan? Rather, think of a Divine Plan that moves slowly towards its goal, inspite of all the mistakes of the Plans main actors. love, Shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 HOW TO DEFINE WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS BAD? ITS ALL PERCEPTION, NOTHING ELSE. BY VIRTUE OF OUR TRADITIONAL INHERITENCE WE HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO LIVE IN LIMITED SPHERE OF LIFE, WHICH IS LIMITED TO WHAT OUR SENSE ORGANS CAN PERCIEVE. ENJOYMENT IS YET ANOTHER STATE OF MIND. SO VOLATILE IN NATURE. SOMETHING GOOD FOR ONE IS BAD FOR ANOTHER. POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE OR EXTREME POLAR NATURE OF EACH AND EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD IS COMPLEMENTARY TO EACH OTHER AND IS MUST FOR SURVIVAL. TO CONCLUDE, PRACTICALLY AND BEHAVIOURLY, SOME HUMAN BEING ENJOY A PARTICULAR STIMULUS PERCIVED BY THEIR SENSE ORGANS AND AT SAME TIME SOME PEOPLE DONOT ENJOY THAT. IT ALL DEPEND UPON THE ATTITUDE AND CULTURE DEVELOPED WITHIN. OM NAMAH SHIVAY Sick sense of humor? Visit TV's Comedy with an Edge to see what's on, when.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 In my views evil character is developed due to negative direction towards destruction either may it be the creature itself or the surroundings. It is flow of life energy towards negativity. When the life energy is constructive we may say its godly nature or else if it is reverse its evil nature. The energy never differentiates whether its flowing positively or negatively. Only the human throu which it is flowing has to understand it & divert it. The sheer reality of god is beyond evility or godlyness. --- shanracer <no_reply > wrote: > Bhadraji, personally I dont like this word " evil " - > it gives the wrong > idea that there is something inherently evil or > wrong in the world or > its people. > > There is no evil- only ignorance.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Humble Obeisance! Gurudev, I would like to ask a question with your kind permission. Dev, please let me know why there are evil, miscreant and destructive thoughts when I close my eyes for meditation? When eyes are open, I can concentrate on photograph of Bhagavan Shri Rama for certain time. But I have heard that meditation or concentration, chanting etc. are to be done with closed eyes to held up Prana Shakti and with open eyes it is projected outside and there is certain loss of it. Dev, if you or anybody of our group can guide me, I shall be highly gratified and grateful unto you forever. Heartful regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 There is no need to worry about these thoughts-they come up because they exist- whenever you do strong puja, all your bad vrittis come up to be destroyed. If you get scared & stop puja, they go back into subconcious. The correct way is to not to worry about them- your worrying & thinking about them gives them power. Instead, ignore them & they will die a natural death. And as a bonus, they will release the energy they were holding up, which will boost your meditation. While it is true the inner meditation is more powerful, it shouldnt be forced. If you like focussing on picture of Sri Ram, continue doing that. Same with mantra- it can be chanted loudly. Once you have become an expert, the process automatically goes inside- you will be able to visualise the picture & chant mantra in mind- but this process should happen automatically after practice. love, Shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 , " BHADRA RAO JANAGAM " <bjanagam wrote: This world was manifested when Adi-shakti divided herself into two poles, male and female, consciousness and shakti, evil and good, positive or negative. The day the universe started manifesting positive and negative energies are struggling with each other trying to annul each other or establishe its supermacy. Now positive energies are not necessarily good and negative energies are not just bad.... it is a perspective of the mind....who plays the game of reaction towards certain energies and treats them as positive or negative. For a theif, the policeman who tortures him to get information about the stolen goods, is Evil....for the owner of goods police man is a positive force trying to solve his problem. Hitler was Hero for germans and evil for jews. Shri Krishna was thought to be Evil by Kansa, Duryodhana, shakuni and shishupal.... where as for his bhaktas he was God. Yes there is only one thing which we call evil...that is any energy which hinders the way to spirituality.....but that too is temporary evil....not really evil in absolute terms. Evil is very necessary for this world. Evil forces us to fight with it and kill it or it forces us to step back from the war and re- consider our own energies. Evil awakens our positive energies. SURPRISINGLY, no Bhakta, no gyani no Yogi could force God to incarnate. It was so called Evil which forced God to come down as humans Had it not been Kansa, Krishna would not have come down. Had it not been Duryodhana shakuni etc, Mahabharat would not have occured. Had it not been Ravan, Rama would not have taken birth. Evil need not be hated...evil must be understood why it has been brought to fight...whether to show our weaknesses, or to awaken our positive energies... or if we are weak to destroy us. with love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babaji, I always thought it was Parashiv(or Ardhnarishwar) who divides into Concioussness & Shakti(Male & Female). Yet, the Durga Saptashati says that " Ya Devi Chiti rupena Sanstitha " , " Ya Devi Chaitnyabhidiyati " . What is the nature of Shiv, & how is he different from Shakti? Can you pls enlighten? love Shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Brother, there is one shruti vAkyam ' Eko aham bahusyAm babhuva:' For very large span of time the Suprimo was alone. He thought of creation. One alone can not create anything hence He provlaimed like this and divided Himself into two. Male & Female. The play between these two is the creation of universe. In this universe there is everything good and bad(evil). Evil is that portion which quite opposing to good but completely dependent of good and has no independent existence. It is shadow of good. Everybody is scared of darkness. Evil is that darkness. When we accept good, we have no choice to refuse evil. Hence it is quite natural that alongwith enjoyment of good, we are bound to enjoy evil diminishing/reducing its seriousness or harmfulness. While travelling through dark we use torches of various kinds and thus eliminate intensity of darkness/evil and go ahead. For better progree we have to enjoy evil to learn how to avoid impediments in our ways. That's all.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 When the eyes are closed the outflowing prana (cosmic) energy through which knowldge of our world is gained, diverts inside.But it will make the mind activities more energified and hence when the start of meditation is always noisy and full of thoughts which were hidden or invisible when the mind was busy in other activities. When the visualiser (the principle life energy) just observes them and shakes not a moment with the crowd of thoughts, takes away energy from the thoughts and hence the thoughts go down to minimisation. the process continuies till a single thought of a vision of likes god like rama and the sound of a particular repeated mantra is visible and be heared by inner senses. This is the way to entrance to dhyana state. --- keshav daund <keshav_daund wrote: > Humble Obeisance! Gurudev, I would like to ask a > question with your kind permission.
