Can someone solve my dilemma? If all that there is is one undifferentiated Consciousness, the concept of jIva, the individual itself will be an erroneous notion. Then how it possible for a jIva, to reincarnate, because in essence there is no separate jiVa from this Universal, Undifferentiated consciousness. What is it that is going to reincarnate? If there is no recarnation, why should we even bother for Self-Realization, and what is the value for moral framework in the society? Can anyone of you solve this dilemma?

Why someone else should do it;

are you too lazy to do it yourself ;)?;)

 

 

Or, do you " believe " that others are so

much better, smarter, 'realized', more

knowledgeable and so 'different' than you ;)?;)

If earth is one,

the concept of countries like USA,

India, China, Africa will be an erroneous

notion, but... is it?

Perhaps, in the same way that countries

and people talk about reducing pollution

and 'saving the planet', though, those who

are trying to 'save' it are part of the same

planet.

It is all in your desire to 'be happy'.

If you don't care about being " happy " ;

who is bothered ;)?;)

It is all about society being 'happy',

'peaceful', orderly, harmonious and

'easy to live in'.

 

 

> Can anyone of you solve this dilemma?

 

Sure ;) Did I solve it for you ;)?;)
