I do negate this philosophy
When energy is influenced by Maya it see itself is non-different from the energetic, due to the lack of desire to serve the energetic, but to try and imitate the energetic's position.
I think that would be a bit extreme. Although i think that the majority are not Guru's in the real sense of the term. I do consider someone like Radhanath Swami as a bonafida Guru.
The Vedic process is to follow Guru, Sadhu and Sastra. You can't just follow Sastra and Sadhu. It is not...
sambhūtim means God there is nothing wrong with Prabhupada's translation. It is the impersonalists who misdefine God to be some kind of impersonal energy. If there is energy there must be an energetic.
What example can you give of energy that has no source?
It not practical right now because your methods depend on tons of oil, but don't worry it will become practical in the future. It is practical in terms of self-sufficiency.
The Śrī Īśopaniṣad is considered to be sruti and it says:
oḿ pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaḿ
pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate
pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya

"And no one, so far, has figured out how to make a cloud."
I think rain comes from clouds, at least that's what they taught me at school. If your understand of how it works is so thorough then why can't you make clouds?
I'll start that in another thread
But then how could I preach to you...
I disagree. I have seen farmers in India who have lots of time. Your only very busy at harvesting and sowing time. If you keep your needs simple then you don't need to over endeavor for economic advancement.
In the varnashrama system everyone serves God through their work. So even working...
Unfortunately cloud seeding still depends on clouds and "And no one, so far, has figured out how to make a cloud." Except God!
Every living being is evidence of God
Thats because you are nescience teacher :)
Speak for yourself. An animal is a living being that's life is dedicated to eating...
Who's standard? The standard of the impersonalists. What sampradaya does your "standard" interpretation come in.
Srila Prabhupada translates sambhūtim as the eternal Personality of Godhead, His transcendental name, form, pastimes, qualities and paraphernalia, the variegatedness of His...
Yes this the interpretation of Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Sampradaya. As I already said it only through parampara that we can understand the Vedas, it not up to us to interpret them in anyway we want. Why? Because we are in maya. Only someone who is not in maya can properly understand the meaning of...
Like I said there could a transitional phase, but ultimately I don't think that this technological civilization is going to survive. That is one of the reasons why I think people should start being more agrarian in first place.
At the end of the day the point is to live simply so that we have...
