The Chinese are very ancient people, Homo erectus descendants from what I understand who evolved differently to the second wave of 'Out of Africa' migration of Homo sapiens. Yes/No?
I think we should observe America like we should observe all the nations of the world as a global humanity, commenting from analysis so that it is kept in the public eye for people in America and outside America to learn from and develop themselves from the knowledge of how another section of...
Hindus like me also worship God thorugh our actions, our work in preserving the Creation in which we live, this is what Vishista Advaitists do, gently and sensitively. We also go to temples and take part in pujas if these come along our paths from circumstances, otherwise we just go from one...
Lovely thoughts from such a divine hearted sage mawlana.shaykn.nazim. They are truly words of wisdom superlative. I too look at Creation in that manner. Every part every bit of Creation is Divine. It is for us to treat it all gently and sensitively.
Thank you for welcoming me. I loved being in Religious Forums for some years, then I took an enforced break to experience life a bit more. Hopefully I am a bit more wiser now.
I see that there is only one religion and all religions are dharmic in various manifestations. Christianity in my...
Pranam/Namaskar Aumanyavji, Thank your for your compliment. I am fine now after a few turbulent years, which has taught me lessons. I still have my small family unit with me here in the United Kingdom. I love the British people for their patience and open-minded tolerance that gave me the time...
When you are able to fearlessly act nonchalantly, spontaneously and unpremeditately each moment of the waking time, you have truth as your guide. This is faith in oneself.
It is what karma is, karma is the essence of Bhagavad Gita: do your work and do not look for the rewards of that work: then you will get mukti that is liberation from work alone, but do not do so with any ulterior movtives: just follow the leads as they come and traverse the path to your...
There is something certainly within us, apart from our body. Where is it? that is a good question? what is it? that is another good question. What is the mind, that is yet another good question? What is the soul? that is also a good question, what is atman? also an important question. Finally...
Attachment is the single worst attribute that prevents spiritual upliftment, have no beliefs, aims, targets, strategies, missions, karma, dharma, (duties and righteous actions), etc and free your mind into total stillness to rid the mind of the debris of the past moment and start afresh on a...
It is possible to have material liberation as well as spiritual liberation, that is by taking part in Creation, immersing oneself in one's nonchalant, sponateous and unpremeditated actions: that is what moksha/nirvana/liberation is for me, for my mind is perennially at ease and is peaceful that...
In Vishista Advaita we distance ourselves from God, we only relate to a Supreme Entity by raising our minds in elevating it above our bodies desires, wants, wishes, missions, aims, objectives, schemes, tactics, the need for karma, or even dharma (duties and righteous actions) as we navigate the...
I have lived through to 64 years of age and I have never ever been able to form a sustainable friendship with anyone. That is the truth. When a person knows that others are less inclined to talk to a person who has a different ideas and is theistic in substance, they cannot understand that and...
From what I read in the Bible that I had years ago, I seem to recall that Jesus was saying that we should submit to oppression and preached tolerance towards them as well as loving all our Neighbours, do you think that this is something that even momentarily makes one uneasy, or is it truly an...
From what you have read about Jesus, was he very proactive in what he preached, or was he truth accommodating but still incurred the wrath of the Roman State authorities?
When one comes to living ones life free as a libertarian, one is facing enormous challenges because whatever a libertarian does, he or she comes into conflict with society and the State which would suppress his desires and oppress him from his quest for freedom from the State.
When one is...
