Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Good and bad are only conventional in Pravritti because the sin in one religion is good in another religion. In Nivritti, the good and bad are true not by their criterion but they exist based on some other reason. Whatever God liked is good and whatever God did not like is a sin. Thus there is a basis of the concept of sin in Nivritti i.e. God does not like this. Otherwise both good and bad qualities are feelings only which are designs of awareness and are totally unreal. Therefore good or bad is not valid by its own nature, because they are unreal. So one should not do sins based on the disliking of God, otherwise, sin is a totally unreal feeling. Therefore, ethics are also based on God only. When the sinner is beaten in the hell, the servants of Lord Yama will be shouting at the sinner by saying “Why you have done that deed which is not liked by God?” They will not say “Why you have done the sin?” Therefore the concept of sin is only, disliking of God. The list of the disliked items by God is given through scriptures like Dharma Sastras of Manu. Therefore, you should not do the sins mentioned in scriptures because they are disliked by God. Otherwise a sin (bad quality) or a good quality is just an unreal feeling and has no value by itself. at the lotus feet of swamiji surya skywhilds <skywords wrote: --- In Nisargadatta , " Johan " <yohansky wrote: > > Pap is what Mozart's " Jeune Homme " , Jorn Utzon's Opera House and your > wardrobe have in common! .
