Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 hello ers, thanks once again for the wonderful way you all have received me on this site. i feel so lucky to be a part of this little ganesh family online. i may not understand every single thing discussed here but i sure do learn alot and i enjoy getting to know the different people who post here like sy and ananda yogi and aum ganesh, and also the new ones like rajat. i guess one thing about ganesh that i keep coming back to is childlikeness. i don't know if this is something he is particularly known for, but for me it seems like this is an important facet of ganesh. also, he reminds me to be simple. for me, i just view my experiences with ganesh as simultaneous with my experience of god, although i may not conceive of the absolute in the same way as some of you all. this is o.k. i have no problem with a little diversity now and then as long as there is ongoing charity and good spirit all around. i think one day all of us will be surprised when we leave behind all our illusory thinking and enter into a more perfect union with the divine. to me this is a call for all men, not just people of particular religions. the spiritual life is not for experts or deep thinkers only. it's for us all. have a great day! bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Namaste Bill, It is our good fortune to have you too. "God" is an experience in whatever way an individual conceives him to be. He leads us on merry dances and by the same token, also to some adversities. In seeking Ganesh, adversities only turn out to be blessings in disguise when in hindsight. The Son of Shiva also poses in a Dance Form (dancing like his Father). This form of Ganesh is rare though. Perhaps another Ganesh Bhakta can tell us more about it. Indeed spirituality is for us all.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2001 Report Share Posted August 17, 2001 Dear bill, Very rightly said SPIRITUALITY in not for only deep thinkers (well at times contradictorily ,those who r deep thinkers are most times involved with their reasonings while a FOOL might be a greater SPIRITUAL SOUL as HE just knows nothing except FAITH, LOVE etc.) but for all of us. respects rajat i think one day all of us will be surprised > when we leave behind all our illusory thinking and enter into a more > perfect union with the divine. to me this is a call for all men, not > just people of particular religions. the spiritual life is not for > experts or deep thinkers only. it's for us all. > > have a great day! bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
