Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Dear Omkar I have tried to answer one of your questions....jay - " Omkar Nisal " <omkarsnisal > God has no form and is present every where. > also that, what you believe is true. > > if that is so, why do people struggle over > the possession of what they call their God and their place of worship? ===response===== We can approach the concept of God 'only on an individual basis'. Our own characteristics and limitations will decide what approach we take. As such all such approaches will be true 'relative to the individual'. The problem arises when two religions or two sectarian bodies compare notes. They are both quite sure of their own ideal and will strongly oppose any other approach to God (can we blame them for that? ). Hence the conflict in the approaches. Only a mature understanding can resolve this and give correct guidance. Sri Ramakrishna gave an example. Two people were quarrelling over the colour of a chameleon - they finally went to a wise man who lived near the tree where the chameleon lived. He resolved the conflict saying both are right and yet the chameleon is not limited to the colours each one observed - he is much more than that! Hope this helps.. regards jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
