orleans vs mumbai (for Ashutosh and all)

[Guest guest]

Namaste Ashutosh,

 

You quoted a bible passage as follows:

>

> Bible says "only the meek will survive".

 

Other translations of the Christian Bible state that the "meek shall

inherit the earth". This translation has a different connotation

than surviving. For years, I've been puzzled by the meaning of this

passage. How can the meek inherit the earth when in fact it appears

that the strongest seems to dominate worldly affairs?

 

After learning some of the concepts given in the Bhagavad Gita, I've

found a unique understanding as to how the 'meek' can inherit the

earth. Aside from the inherent humility involved, the 'meek' are

those who are able to recognize the true basis of physical matter.

 

Contrary to popular belief, the basis of matter is not the physical

structure of the earth. The true basis of everything on earth and

the universe is consciousness. With this in mind, the 'meek' does

not relish in being attached to the apparent relative materials. He

knows that everything on earth is based on nothing.

 

In scientific terms, physical matter is structured on the minutest

particles of the universe which are the quarks (others say

superstrings). Some scientists have now given up on discovering

anymore particles since they are so small and cannot be measured by

instruments. In addition, they've found that these particles behave

differently when measured or observed by the mind.

 

Therefore, the meek 'inherits' the earth by appreciating the beauty

of creation for what it is, which is really the interplay of

consciousness. In other words, all of the earth's materials are

based on the ever changing manifestation of the Self or the Atman.

 

There's a phrase from St. Francis of Assisi's prayer which describes

the principle described above.

 

"....It is in dying that we are born to eternal life"

 

Dying here does not necessarily mean physical death. The word can

refer to the ability to transcend the relative experience. In vedic

terms, it is the ability to experience samadhi.

 

In this sense, I'm beginning to realize that the story of the Garden

of Eden has the same hidden meaning which most people do not

ordinarily see in interpreting this common biblical narrative.

 

Regards,

 

John R.

In my opinion, all of the thoughts above are related to the basic

concepts in jyotish.
