Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Namaste There is no real difference between any of these practices, they appeal to different temperaments along the path to the same goal. Yoga describes the process and practice of realization in all it’s forms, it means realization. Sanatana Dharma means essentially the same thing, that which exists eternally and unites the mind with the absolute self. Puja leads to this realization by taking the mind and filling it with the form of love. Sufism does the same. It’s like Nangta who was Sri Ramamkrishna’s teacher of Advaita. Nangta had experienced Nirvakalpa but it was after a higher realization still that he threw himself at the feet of the Kali Murti realizing how limited his awareness had been. God is both form and formless, and it is God alone we see in all things and practices. Love, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking of the methodology to reach the goal... in that sense, and in that sense only, Sufism and Tantra are mystico-devotional in nature, and can be considered closely related. Jai Ma!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Dear All, The reality and truth stays unchanged,unaltered and pure eternally. No tinkering can have any effect for long. Ignorant view things in a biased way in order to keep themselves in the comfort zone. You have mountain of joy in your heart, try to find it. You have peace in your heart, try to share it. You have knowledge in your heart, try to seek it. May Paramatman Brahman guide your senses towards the ultimate goal through the route of your choice,understanding without disturbing your environment much!! Take your problems to Him and He will guide you for sure. Asis Bagchi New and Improved Mail - Send 10MB messages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
