Your initiating guru is not always the same as the one you follow for much of your life and you may outgrow several gurus.

Sometimes I think there should be an automated feature on forums, that says "In my opinion," before every statement. Sometimes we (readers and writers) forget. I checked out your blog, BTW.

Friend DK,

@zenzero - I don't drink tea. It often throws people off. Sanatan dharma means different things for different people but the basic translation is the Eternal Law, although dharma can be translated to mean path or way as well.

Good!
Could you explain as to who or what is that *I* that does not drink tea??

Love & rgds

Friend Vinayaka,

Mind itself is the automated system that has already assummed that it is *his* opinion however the question remains who is that, who opines.
Here the words personal understanding is used cause though understand that there is no *I* but a part of that whole and this part is not perfect as it is yet to merge with that whole and being a part it interacts with the other parts of the whole and in doing so, it refers to that part of the wole.

Thanks again my Friend and pardoning my more assertive than intended or can actually be, reply. I practice remember the 'subject' discussed in these two quotes... but I haven't always mastered that intentionality.

Friend DK,
Thank you for your response.
Had seen the clip before.Interesting!
However there is no confusion as you point cause if you understand what a BEING is you would understand that Jesus's cross and Gautam's middle meant.
A being is always at acrooss road, in the middle between form and noform between body and spirit. Like water- ice at one end and vapour at the other.
Like all beings lie on the path of evolution except that efforts are used to revolutionize the evolutonary process by being in the exact middle or that centre of the cross where one is neither bounded by time/space and is simply Here-Now!

Kindly remember only by responding appropriately are we sharing or else the tree was/is/will be beautiful even if not said as it too is a being and part of that whole which includes me.

Love & rgds

I think whenever Lord Vishnu took an avatar he did so to deliver the people from adharma. He destroyed or subjugated the adharmis(evil doers). Whereas Jesus himself was a victim of adharma. Jesus was a sattvik person(a pure soul) always thinking of doing good to the people. He can be compared to Mahatma Gandhi a selfless man. The word Mahatma itself means a great soul. I would prefer calling him Mahatma Jesus.

Very logical argument.

Thanks brother. Krishna says, "The seeds of faith, only when sowed in the soil of logic can grow unabated." So i usually try not to accept anything that defies logic.
