Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I did not want to write on this topic as I have very little knowledge and I dont think I have any capability to write on this but just wanted to share my thoughts too. Does reaching God or attaining moksha necessarily require chanting of mantras or continously thinking about God? I think there can be different ways .If you do something entirely for the love of it (not for fame or money or for any materialistic pleasure) genuinely from your heart and soul, wont that show you a path takingyou to God? e.g. I love music and Indian Classical music has a lot of potential. If one completely immerses oneself in meaningful music (I am not talking about superficial ...sorry to say....pop or film music),wont it lead to a pathtaking you to God? What if you dont chant mantras but help the needy, the poor, try to be good to be others , never intensionally hurt people ...wont that lead you to a path reaching God? just a thought Manoshisanjaytechnology <sanjaytechnology > wrote: All:There has been some level of discussion on Moksha on and off today. I would say one thing, whenever the desire to do something wrong pops-up (greed, lust, anger, possessiveness, fear, excessive sexuality...) just let go and pray to God with your heart. Very difficult, coz the weakenesses of your planets pull you towards it. Imagine this negative pull, this is not an ordinary gravitational negative pull, this negative pull is nothing but the reflection of the infinite cosmos. At this time, let go, let go,... and pray to God with faith. And you will see the difference. You have cleansed your soul immediately by two notches (a figure of speech), kind of a flushing process. And you will suddenyl find that your life is becoming more beautiful from the inside. Take care of your family, wife, kids, parents, friends, dont cheat, do your good karma. Similarly the powerful planets, pull you towards it in positive ways. Abstract and make sure that we dont get absorbed into this process of "desire and wanting" more and more. Lets abstract the positive energies from these planets and control them to make living and life better.This is the cleaning of the SELF and is a very powerful remedy.But we still suffer, and one of the times when we question "faith and astrology and all that" the most is when you lose some one whom you love a lot and very close to you suddenly (death or otherwise). Imagine losing someone who is next to you 24 hrs all the time suddenly. Then at that time you go through a self - evaluation process. What is life all about? Why me? At this time let go, let go, let the process take its course, do your prayer with your heart, and I am sure there will be peace somewhere. Very difficult to do, but these are the only chances you will get :-).Hope it makes some sense.Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti.--Sanjay Aggarwal~!

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Dear Friend, I feel that anything you do with heart and soul is a form of penance ... and it surely adds to your elevation spritually ... of course as long as it dosent harm anyone I think JK's theory is on similar lines?? anyone been thru jiddu krishnamurthys theory? --- Manoshi Chatterjee <khallopapa wrote: > Dear Friends, > I did not want to write on this topic as I have very > little knowledge and I dont think I have any > capability to write on this but just wanted to share > my thoughts too. > > Does reaching God or attaining moksha necessarily > require chanting of mantras or continously thinking > about God?
