    Is this god concept incoherent?

    Concepts are bound to be diverse. But the truth cannot be many. Religionists, irrespective of culture, have spoken of the bliss that characterizes it.

    What does your scripture say about non dual source of all?

    Not at all.

    Transcending space-time 'Interstellar' style and 'Yoga Vasistha' style

    A free human perhaps.

    Probability of nature coming up with Beethoven's 'Fate' by chance?

    These are crap answers, presuming miracle.

    What of God is manifest in us?

    Existence-Consciousness is prior to space-time-objects. Is your 'love' prior to space-time-objects?

    Atheism and arrogance

    Hello. I gave you a like for your courage. I understand that the ignorance of being a separate (ego) self leads to all sorts of issues, including that of arrogance and disrespect. And I think that 99.9% of people (including this of course) suffer from that ignorance to a lesser or greater...

    Is Love a prerequisite for Understanding

    It will depend on what you mean by love. I think preference of positive or negative kinds both may cloud understanding.

    If Religions are Entirely Bogus, Why are so Many Good People Religious?

    The golden rule of all religions is: na tat parasya saṁdadhyāt pratikūlaṁ yad ātmanaḥ. eṣa saṁkṣepato dharmaḥ kāmād anyaḥ pravartate. One should never do that to another which one regards as injurious to one’s own self. This, in brief, is the rule of dharma. Other behaviour is due to selfish...

    Misconceptions

    That does not mean that it is not universally applicable. Why? I just stated what I know.

    Misconceptions

    I am afraid that is not true. MIT researchers can now track AI’s decisions back to single neurons. Howsoever fuzzy the decision processes may be, in principle the tree can be traced back.

    [Hindu Only] Yoga Vasistha

    You are asking about ‘where’ and ‘now’ — two components of space-time that are, according to you inadmissible for brahman. You are correct that space-time is inadmissible in respect of brahman. But is your question admissible then? Only consciousness is real. Yajnavalkya and Shuka exist...

    [Hindu Only] Yoga Vasistha

    Are you the ego self or are you the Turiya? You may shout hoarse 'advaita' but all your actions-posts are of an old egotist. As long as i acts as an ego self, i is controlled by deities hidden in Shushupti and ultimately controlled by the Turiya-Prabhu.

    [Hindu Only] Yoga Vasistha

    It seems that you are intentionally selective about quoting others and you are fixated on your ideas. You disregarded the red part altogether.:D

    [Hindu Only] Yoga Vasistha

    Paramarthika is not a separate realm. Paramarthika is a concept signifying the absolute lack of ignorance that veils the truth from mind. And when there is no veil-no ignorance, there are no A and B. There is only the non dual, the eko advittiyam. Even in vyavarika state of mind (ignorant state)...

    [Hindu Only] Yoga Vasistha

    I agree. But then is 'A' (an illusory Bin) equal to B (brahman -- the truth, intelligence, infinity)? That is why it is said that brahman is beyond mind and word. :) In my opinion, we are saying the same thing but the sameness is lost in semantics.

    [Hindu Only] Yoga Vasistha

    Yes. Shankara himself prescribes 'Vivekachudamani' as guideline for discriminating the atma. The advaitic tradition teaches 'drigdrishya viveka' -- the discriminative sepration of the seer (the subject) from the seen (object). Without such discrimination and abidance, the meaning of 'tat tvam...

    [Hindu Only] Yoga Vasistha

    A is an individual. B is the whole: Truth, Intelligence, Infinity. How can A, Bin Laden, be same as the limitless brahman? A and B are not same on literal terms. Shankara bhasya on 'tat tvam asi' gives detailed clarification on this. The atma is identical to brahma. That does not mean that Bin...

    [Hindu Only] Yoga Vasistha

    Wrong concept. ''Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma" does not say that A (Bin Laden) is equal to B (Brahman).
