Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I find the teachings of nisargadatta the most awe inspiring that I have ever come across.Having grown up in organized religion I have a question. How does advaita explain where in the bible Jesus says whatsoever things you desire believe that you have received them and you would have them? or even all things are possible to him who believes? I mean how do you reconcile the two concepts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the dual and nondual models of reality concepts and personalities are so idealized that it's like mixing dairy with fruit...you never know what you will end up getting in the blender. During the time of Jesus there were greeks/romans present in the area and it's not a huge surprise that the indo-european concept of divine nature of man found its way and created a hybrid system which particularly came handy when trying to market it to the greeks/romans in asia minor since the jews were not interested.
