    When is anger wrong?

    Generally I find anger to be of little service, it just keeps one bound to the isolated individual existence that feels it is being threatened. Yet there is nothing that can actually diminish you, or divide you, only your own mind. Yet I cant dismiss anger altogether, because we do live in a...

    If it was proven that God doesn't exist

    nothing in my life would actually look any different; i would still meditate because it brings such equanimity and peace. i would still strive to be a kind person, but wise and tough. I would feel an emptiness where a huge source of energy came from though. i would actually probably be part of...

    Is the Mind Too Petty or Limited to Know God?

    Jihad -internal or external

    i dont understand the external jihad at all. I like to think of Islam as a religion of peace (i can hear the hands slapping forheads right now) and all the violence and jihad i dont see as Islam, it is politics. But the spiritual self-perfection you mention above, well that to me is the only...

    do you have a teacher?

    yes in my experience a real guru recognizes the real guru in 'the student', he plays the role but knows there are none. he doesnt see a person as their conditions, yes the conditions are necessary to examine for insight and liberation, but a guru seeing your infinite purity and freedom...
