    Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong.

    Dear "Faithless Devotee"

     

    Methinks it is your name that is the impediment. With a name like this you may as well call yourself Oxy Moron because that is what "Faithless Devotee" is - an oxymoron.

     

    Given the sort of questions you are coming up

    with you might like to change your name to

    Darasathi Dix. Or perhaps Darasathi Dixit.

    (Yes , that ought to fix it.)

     

    BTW, if are really and truly

    only 16 years old (as you

    say) please ignore my

    response.

  10. A War Between Here and Hereafter

    in Spiritual Discussions

    Posted

    <u>A SUMMARY</u>

     

    posting 1

    Satyaraja presents a parable to illustrate a perspective on the current world crisis (US and world democracies VS terrorism)in terms of dialectics coloured by the material circumstances experienced by the opposing camps.

     

    posting 2

    Valaya is triggered towards a broader view which transcends the dialectical opposition and invites a mutual appreciation of martyrdom and praxis.

     

    posting 3

    Satyaraja reduces Posting 2 to trivial issues to enable low level debate.

     

    posting 4

    Karthik_v digresses with a pedantic criticism of a tautaulogous expression in Posting 3.

     

    posting 5

    Satyaraja partakes of the digression and relies on scriptural support.

     

    posting 6

    Maitreya provides some incisive contribution to the digression.

     

    posting 7

    Karthik_v responds to Posting 5 's engagement in the digression by launching into further and detailed scriptural exposition.

     

    posting 8

    Shvu brings argument to question the scriptural position espoused by Posting 7 's engagement in the digression.

     

    COMMENT

    Valaya (Posting 2) honoured the foundational posting with a spiritually insightful thrust. His response has not been honoured.

     

    It is so often the case that the scripture is used to emphasise someone's error (or the <u>perception</u> of purported error) at the expense of promoting the genuinely illuminating response.

    With its war torn history

    Perhaps it would have been better

    If David had built it.

    "That which is beyond our power of conception is called acintya, inconceivable. It is useless to argue or speculate about what is inconceivable. If it is truly inconceivable, it is not subject to speculation or experimentation. Our energy is limited, and our sense perception is limited; therefore we must rely on the Vedic conclusions regarding that subject matter which is inconceivable. Knowledge of the superior nature must simply be accepted without argument. How is it possible to argue about something to which we have no access?" (Bhaktivedanta Swami TLC: Introduction)

    thanks, JR

    Yes perhaps such threads

    could be put in World Review section

    on this thread)

    I have heard of one

    who ate fish for nine days

    and then went out and WALKED on water !

     

    (But, then, no-one seems to have time for

    such stories these days.....)
