The Master Said:

" Once a salt doll went to measure the depth of the ocean.

It wanted to tell others how deep the water was.

But this it could never do, for no sooner did it get into the water

than it melted. Now who was there to report the ocean's depth? "

 

om tat sat

The meaning of the word " Naustika "

 

Some time ago I was discussing Gnosticism with

some Hindu friends of mine. They basically

said that Naustika in their understanding

meant an " atheist. " I later came across

another definition for Naustika as one who

does not accept the authority of the Vedas,

such as a Buddhist or Jain... Can someone

help me out here?

nAstika is a masculine noun, meaning an unbeliever,

an atheist. And nAstikatA is a feminine noun, meaning:

atheism, irreligion
