Guest guest Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 My Dear Friends,I am reproducing the contents of an email I received in another group who discuss our spirituality. This is from the book "Saings of Ramakrishana". Quote in red. Ramakrishna Parmahamsa (1836-1886 CE) says: 461. Once a dispute arose among the learned men at the court of the Maharajah of Burdwan as to who was the greater of the two Deities, Siva and Vishnu. Some of the courtiers said that Siva was the greater, while the others gave the preference to Vishnu. When the dispute grew hot, a wise Pandit remarked, "Sir, I have seen neither Siva nor Vishnu. How can I say who is the greater of the two?" Do not try to compare one Deity with another. When you see one of the Deities, you will come to know that they are all the manifestations of the same Brahman. Sincerely,Udayabhanu Panickaraum namaH Shivaaya OUR BODY IS THE ABODE OF THE JEEVATMAN, WHICH IS IN FACT THE PARABRAHMAN. LET US NOT MAKE IT A GRAVEYARD. LET US NOT EAT FLESH. LET US BE VEGETARIANS AND STAY HEALTHY. Animals are to be loved, not eaten. Eating flesh is good neither for the mind nor for the intellect, not even for the body. It distorts the basic character of human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
