Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 " The most important tension between the particular and last judgments has to do with time. If the souls of the dead must pass through a period of time between death and the Last Judgment, where do they do this? Where are they now? Have they not been judged at all? But if they have been judged in the particular judgment, then why must they wait for the inevitable confirmation of that in the Last Judgment? But if no time elapses between death and Last Judgment, then the soul is never disembodied. If the particular judgment and the Last Judgment occur outside of time, in an eternal moment, then why does time elapse on earth while bodies decay? Does the Last Judgment occur on the last day of time (or any day in time) or in an eternal moment or past the end of time? " Jeffry B. Russell Professor of History University of California Santa Barbara " But these are special time, the Blossom Time. They call it the Last Judgment, you can call it the Resurrection Time, you can call it the Qiyamah, they call it in Koran. It is said that people will come out of their graves and will get their Resurrection. I mean what is left to the graves is nothing but a few stones and a few bones. No! All these souls which are dead will take their birth, take human body and take their Realization in these special times. This is a sensible thing to say and is also happening. " Shri Jayatsena Devi Lakshmi Principle, Diwali Puja, Moscow, Russia — November 12, 1993 Jayatsena (788th): Having victorious armies of Divine Forces. " In those days of complete chaos and anarchy, He stood up and talked about Truth and about such things like Spirit, like ascent. I mean, they were all blind people. They didn't know what it was He was talking. And He talked about it. There's lot of myths that exist in the Bible and one of them is that when the Resurrection Time will come, your bodies will come out of your graves. It is not only with Christianity, but also with the Muslims and also for the Jews. Now think of it, after so many years, what remains in the graves? Few bones and these few bones, if they come out, how can you give them Realization? Think of it. It's a big myth. One should understand. Logically, it's not proper. So, what is the thing? I must say, Nal Damayanti Akhyan, in the Indian philosophy they have given a clear cut idea that when this Kali Yuga will come so many great seekers who are seeking God in the hills and dales, mountains will be born again and they will be given their Self-Realization. Their Kundalini will be awakened. This is what is said and that seems to be a very logical thing because we are doing that and today's population growth is also because so many have taken birth. I don't know how many will get their Self-Realization, how many they are going to get it, but those who have got it have to establish themselves. " Shri Ksara-Ksaratmika Devi Christmas Puja, Ganapatipule, India — December 25, 1993 Ksara-Ksaratmika (757th): She is both eternal and destructible. This phenomenal Universe which has an end, and the eternal self called `Kutastha' are both Her forms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
