Guest guest Posted September 22, 1999 Report Share Posted September 22, 1999 ~~~~~~ om shanthi om~~~~~~ Excerpted from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna p.96 Thursday 23/9/99 The Master Said: " God and His glory. This universe is His glory. People see His glory and forget everything. They do not seek God, whose glory is this world. All seek to enjoy 'woman and gold'. But there is too much misery and worry in that. " om tat sat ~~~~~~ om shanthi om~~~~~~ _________________ RE: Jay's comment: People like Murray Gell Mann of Santa Fe - have shown a distaste of anything that comes through as Eastern metaphysical approach to science. The call it 'a new-age flaky theory' and discard it. ____________ Comment: " I THINK NOT " When people are sitting on piles of scientific volumes and libraries are full to brim, are they going to 'trash' it all, and accept something new? I think not. The distrust of eastern metaphysical thought is only symptomatic, I fear, of a 'deeper' feeling of racial superiority and smugness. We will find the same oppositon in etymoligical circles, where Sanscrit and pre-Sanscritic 'root words', are disregarded [for the most part] as 'doubtful', in favour of [the more acceptable] Latin and Greek. Furthermore, Sanscrit is considered as 'just another branch' of the Indo-European Family of Languages, rather than as a 'source' of our common tongues. If someone were to prove this fact, etymological dictionaries would have to be revised. All past theories would be turned over, etc....is this going to happen? I think not. The 'average' western mind, sees the civilization of the Indian Subcontinent as poverty-ridden, chaotic and degenerated, and any theories, emeanting from this 'melting pot', would hardly be considered worthy of serious scholastic recognition. In other words, they don't see forest for the trees ! Hopefully, this is changing. om shanthi om +om ____ 123India - India's Premier Search Engine Get your Free Email Account at http://www.123india.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
