Guest guest Posted July 10, 1999 Report Share Posted July 10, 1999 Namaste, Just a reminder that ALL PATHS LEAD TO GOD. How can this be so? Because GOD IS THE SOURCE of those paths. And in truth, WE ARE EACH OUR OWN PATH. God made it so. Some paths may appear to take longer than others, but who are we to say? How do we know when someone started, and how close they are to the goal of CONSCIOUS UNION WITH GOD. Does it even matter? ALL IS NOW. To say that one being's path is inferior to that of another is ridiculous, and stems from an ego that is out of control. And to quote the words of a being who is CONSCIOUSLY ONE WITH GOD---without understanding that consciousness, or the context of those words---is dangerously close to being dogmatic. We must remember that whatever labels we use---hindu, zen buddhist, jesuit, cult member, whatever---are only labels and nothing more. We must not just accept, but EMBRACE, all " paths " as different aspects of our own. And we must always experience the wondrous joy of BEING, for that is what we are and ALL THAT IS. bismillah, Thomas Angelfire for your free web-based e-mail. http://www.angelfire.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a student we may only follow words of our spiritual Guru and path showen by him. existance of other paths and talk about them is required only to have respect to those who apperantly following other paths with respect to us. Once I reach my goal, automatically realisation that all paths lead to the saME COMES. Thakur, however followed different paths but probably after realising his Mother and probably being GURU, just to show us the facts. But he also said I have done so much only for others you need not do so much only have faith in THIS(pointing to himself). So as per him let us go to a protected corner, follow Gurus word and realise Him. After that even we mixup purity will remain. Thank for reading this.
