    Hard to say exactly, I was scouting around Panentheism, Solipsism and gradually got drifted to Pantheism. Its a wonderful to experience your oneness with The Nature!

    Free will? It may be just the brain tricking itself

    Free will? It may be just the brain tricking itself

    Lets consider Free will is real: Who/What is free? There's no unchanging subject/Self whom you can declare as having free will. Ego/self is transient, So its just Brain playing games. Does a patient in Coma have free will? Even though free will is an illusion, practically, its better to...

    Gaudiya Vaishnavism queries and discussion thread.

    The problem is it never was a spark to begin with, there's just fire everywhere. It only imagined itself to be a spark and then came up with philosophies to justify its imaginations. :)

    Gaudiya Vaishnavism queries and discussion thread.

    Dear Nitai! Spark and flame are not different, fundamentally. Spark can become an Inferno so can flame. A Query, Are all jivas same or different? What differentiates jivas?

    Infinite 0 vs Finite 1

    Namaste DeviChaaya-ji I think the person was talking in context to digital electronics(If not, that's what I infer from it). When Logic is High(1), Lamp Glows, there's Light and there's Krishna and When its Low(0), Lamp is OFF, no Krishna. Simple, isn't it? :)

    Vedic rituals after death {Scary}

    Yes, there's some unconscious fear/resistance to approaching death(Survival instincts?). Nobody wants to die, not even a thought, but Life has other plans. All things must pass away!

    Your Opinion on Osho

    Whatever Rajneesh was, only a power hungry man would call himself 'Bhagawan'. And later, he changes his name to Osho, Why? Nevertheless, his discourses are full of insight, clever man!

    Your Opinion on Osho

    As far as my opinion goes, i enjoyed reading his book, it gave me more clarity. Some of his ideas does seem crazy, so I don't buy everything he says. This thread is not intended for debate. Just give your honest opinion on Osho and his teachings. Thank you

    What's it like to have a Guru in your experience?

    Nor do I, where does Osho teach transgression of Dharma? By the way, I've only read a book featuring his talks "The Inner Journey" and it seemed alright.

    What's it like to have a Guru in your experience?

    I don't have a guru in person. Srila Prabhupada was my first guru, his books brought me into spirituality. Then I found Sri Kripalu Maharaj, enjoyed listening to his discourses on bhakti. My spiritual hunger led me to reading Swami Sivananda's works which took me to Advaita. After that, I...

    aham brahmasmi --why so confusion ?

    Whoever says "I am not Krishna"? its not you, its just a thought rising in Consciousness(like a wave in an Ocean). Consciousness is the witness of this thought. You are the Witness, The Knower, Krishna! Because you(The Self) are pure self-consciousness, which enables knowing (Knowing-ness)...

    aham brahmasmi --why so confusion ?

    In chapter 13 of the Gita, Lord Krishna says he is the Knower(ksetragnya) in all bodies. There are two things here, Knower and known, or The Self and Non-Self. And God says He is the Self, now you can't be Non-Self/jada. So you must be The Self/God/Brahman. :)
