Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Dear Shiva, Brian and EC all this talk of asuras bring to mind an earlier post I read where Swamiji translated, Apavitra pavitra va...as, "The impure and pure reside within all. Who remembers the Lotus-eyed Consciousness is conveyed to radiant energy." Are we purity obscured or are we impure in need of purity? For me that's difference between Christianity and Hinduism. The real message of Swamiji's translation is not about pure or impure, but that to remember the name of God is what makes us ONE with Her. To remember the name of God transfers all to radiant energy.
