Guest guest Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 This era already HAS its " Avatar " and that avatar, Shri Ramakrishna Paramahansa, and his consort, the Holy Mother, Shri Sarada Devi, were unequivocal in stating that bodily appetites must be transcended and renounced if one expects to make GENUINE spiritual progress towards " union with God. One CANNOT have yoga (union with God) and bhoga (enjoyment of animalistic pleasures)at the same time. Are we now expected to believe that God has suddenly changed the rules, because someone like this says so? There is NO empowerment for women as long as they too are caught up in animality and bodily cravings; we lose ALL our credibility and our spiritual freedom by indulging such things. There is NO question that we are definitely living in the " End Times " ; Shri Ramakrishna stated plainly in " Shri Ramakrishna The Great Master " , that he would return to gather his devotees together after 200 years (this would place his return around the middle of the present century; he died in 1886) and after that, " there would be NO spiritual liberation for a VERY long time " . This is entirely consistent with the nature of the Kali Yuga; eventually it will develop into " Ghora Yuga " (the " Fearsome Aeon " or " Apocalypse " ), where the Earth will be cleansed of its filth, and then afterwards Sat Yuga will be re-established. In Sat Yuga God is VERY far away, and thus liberation for Jivas (souls) becomes a remote dream. It is not until Kali Yuga that spiritual progress becomes available to all those who pursue it with dedication. Therefore those who desire to evolve had best do it in the manner which the TRUE Avatar of this Aeon has said it should be done, by renouncing animality and bodily cravings (and NOT by wallowing in them,) and by calling God's name with sincere devotion. Those who follow false teachings by self- proclaimed " avatars " will eventually find out to their everlasting sorrow how much such teachings are worth when they are " left behind " to flounder around in the demonic realms for endless aeons!!
