Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Seeking Lord without understanding love and compassion for burning out our karma and getting moksha is not being spiritual, it is just like pursuing our other ambitions of making money and attaining dominant position in society. When Jesus was crucified and left alone, there were two other thieves also crucified along with him, one of the thief asks jesus to show his power to free himself and others if he is really son of God, the other one feels very sorry for jesus and admonishes his friend telling that Jesus is suffering and dying for the good of others, Jesus gets so impressed by the love and compassion of the second thief that he promises "When I go to the father, you will be besides me". God sees love and compassion not knowledge or intellect.
