Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 i was wondering wat i guess feeling does a tree have?!. ••very little.. much less than someon on coma and therefore are u actually killing a soul when u cut down a tree? ••no soul killing, but killing. When you can see the difference between alive and dead, there's a body with a soul inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hare Krishna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! PAMHO. A tree is a species in the darkest mode of ignorance. Therefore, it has no feelings. Also, you can look at the life of a tree as a great austerity--that is, a tree suffers so much wind, rain, snow, etc. and still it gives men shade and fruit to eat. The difference between body and soul: Body: material, born at a certain time, destined to die at a certain time; you can also look at a human body or such as simply a bag of bones, muscles, blood, mucus, vomit, stool, organs, etc. You can also look at the body as a means for the soul to attain spiritual perfection, and to rise to the stage of Krishna Consciousness. Soul: spiritual; part and parcel of Lord Krishna; dimensions are: 1 ten-thousandth part of the tip of a piece of hair; eternal; never born, never will die; the true self--yes, it is YOU, and you are NOT the body; it is the marginal energy of Lord Krishna--that is, it can rise to the spiritual platform, or fall to the material platform; its true nature is Krishna Consciousness. you probably know all this, and that was just a few thought-less wording of yours, like i do all the time. thank you, your servant KrishnaBhakta-Dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
