Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Dear Sanjay, Isn't that " linear " time scale an imaginary concept, born out of a belief system rooted in the cause and effect principle in the human psyche? Perhaps we are capable only of looking at things one at a time, by virtue of an objective reference for the sensory input, and therefore land up seeing them in only a particular way, which we call linear? And since everybody else agrees to it, we can easily mistake our observation to be true as well as that our sequential processing of sensory activity is related to " time " in the same one at a time way or in some way at least. Actually, using time as a reference is a mistake as well - not to be agreed upon. OTOH, if you look at things in an " acausal " way, where no sensory event is related to any other sensory event in any way whatsoever, the philosophy of karma ceases to have any realistic (i.e. measurable) impact. Ofcourse, we prefer to see something happening when we do something about something. Well, that is the choice everybody would make for himself!!! regards, nitish --- Sanjay Rath <srath wrote: > > ::Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya:: > Dear Hari > The story of the Sri Varaha avatar (read Rahu) shows > the intricate link between the node and > manifestation of each of us in this planet.
