- What Peace
Read this with your blind eye!
I was listening to a Sermon and suddenly realised why it is said that philosophy promotes Peace.
It puts you to sleep!
- Truth
You ask for immutable truth in regard to God. You say that the Law of Gravity is true irrespective of our opinions and feelings. Yes - such a truth is "God exists" or "That exists". But when you ask, "What is my relation to 'That'?, it may be pertinent to point out that the question is misdirected. You have to ask yourself. Your feelings may not be the same as mine. You may like your coffee sweet - coffee without sugar may be sweet to me.
- Reincarnation
The Jiv-Atma could be an atom, the "root" atom, around which the body-mind complex has accumulated, though they are other atoms. The root atom has a computer build around it - the chitta which registers all it's actions and experiences.
At the body's death this atom surrounded by the computer leaves the body and is then attracted to that situation which is ill tune with the vibration-frequency of the atom - guided by the computer which is now the karma.
- Siva Lingam
Madame Blavatsky regarded the Cross as a Phallic Symbol. Miss Mayo called the Siva Lingam a phallic symbol. As this mud-slinging was going on we forgot that expressions like “phallic-worshippers" mentioned in some scriptures referred to people given to sex and sin and not to devotees of Siva Lingam.
- Walk on Unreal
Krishna danced on the hoods of Kaliya. Some accept it literally; others draw an esoteric lesson from it.
Jesus walked on water; maybe it was just a fact. Maybe, He wanted to teach us: “Walking on water is easy and sensible. But you are walking on nothing! Water is yet a substance. The hopes, aspirations, ambitions, wealth, power and relationships over which you are trying to march in your life - these do not exist at all. I wonder how you walk on these unreal shadows!
