question about questions

[Guest guest]

greetings all and pranams

 

here is my question ... humbly offered ...

 

why does swamiji mostly attend to literal scriptural issues rather

than those of a more diffuse metaphysical or philosophical nature?

 

is it that, the deeper meaning of spirit itself, will best come

across through the traditional sanskrit expressions, like a bright

light that is sharply contrasted against the darkness? in other

words, the disciplined expression and restraint will ultimately say

more than indulging in metaphysical-type talk? or is it, that our

actions that are more important than fancy philosophizing?

 

i ask not to challenge, but to understand, as the intent beyond his

example is very interesting and appealing to me. if you know me, you

know i was chagrined by the dearth of spiritual examples available,

based on personal experience, but have learned over time,

if there is to be an example, it will have to emerge from the jiva

him/herself. but here swami and shree maa appear in contrast to the

others, their commitment seems completely sincere, not motivated as

a spiritual career, becoming a celebrity, and all that silliness. i

of course am still learning and getting to know about them ...

 

perhaps a master musician would be reluctant to interrupt his music

with talking politics ... maybe it is like that. or that, conjecture

is useless, and devotion and inner questioning to God is all that

matters. everything else will resolve itself in meditation.

 

that is my question about questions ... with my own attempts to

answer included. i hope it makes sense.

 

peace and love, gratitude and appreciation to you all,
