[ramakrishna] RK DIGEST 129

[Guest guest]

Dear Tom,

If someone is Jesuist he is in his mind. If one just takes good

things out of any thing will that be bad. Anyway i think nothing is all

bad or good. The story which jody posted i didn't knew who the jesuists

are or wat do they do or whether the saint who said this is jesuist or

not. If i find something to learn from this story it's good. It was a mere

story nothin more than that.

 

And i think wat Sawmiji said was that he don't want people to

spread some kind of limited religion in his name like some people are

doing. But he never said that wat ever they did in their life that was all

bad.

 

There is one incident in Ramayana after Lord Rama has broken the " Amrit

Kalash " situated in Ravana's navel. Lord asks his younger brother Lakshman

to go to him n learn something from him for Ravana was a great knower of

knowledge in many fields n expert in those fields. Lakshman went there

hesitatedly. He asked him some questions n Ravana gave him knowlwedge.

 

So u see nothing is all bad or good. A saint can get knowledge

from even a prostitute. Nothing is all bad or good. We have to just take

good things leave the bad ones. All or on the same path some behind n some

ahead.

 

n tom please don't attack someone dicusss to see n help people see light.

I also fail in wat i am saying but that's wat is truth.
