RE: [SJC: Achyuta Gurukul] RE: [SJC: Varahamihira] Hindu Dichotom y Questions

[Guest guest]

Hello Gili,

Sandy is talking about the guidance for discipline by which one can

experience God. Guidance for discipline is religion, therefore religion is

inseparable from God. Most important aspect is how much devotion we have in

practising the discipline which ultimately leads us to experience God.

 

Best Regards,

Sadashiv.

//OM NAMO BHAGAWATE VASUDEVAY//

Dear Sandy,

Since the ultimate goal is the same which is to experience God, the

divisions should be ignored. Right now there are are so many things we don't

understand. May be later, on the path of spiritual progress, we will find

the answer.

 

Namaste,

Sadashiv Dharwarkar.
