Headlines Today TV- Gopu ji, if I may comment...

[Guest guest]

I could not find the original posting so am taking the liberty of

responding to it from a posting quoting your message from the forum.

 

When personal experiences land on our sensorium, responses are

influenced by those experiences. I speak from recent and very

personal experience of losing some very close ones!!

 

You are right that personal experiences are what lead to our persona

and even biases.

 

I know of one very simple lady from way back when. She was one who

would win anyone's heart through her motherly simplicity. This is

based on observation, many observations!

 

The frail lady was one whom everyone would and did naturally tend to

be motivated to protect and shield from life's travails and

harshnesses.

 

Weeks or a few months after the infamous 1947 partition, when her

family was in Karachi, muslim friends of the hindu family warned them

that it was time to escape and not stay where they were, the family

trusted in a plan that their muslim friends made and saw through. The

lady and her 6year old and few months old sons traveled to India with

another hindu friend escapee. The father followed a few months later.

I do not know all the details of the strategy, but without those

muslim friends, the family would not have escaped and lived to ripe

age. The third son would never have been raised by this family --

though that is the least important part of this story!

 

Not all experiences have to be personally experienced, much can be

learned from observing! That is why I hunger for astrology! It brings

us closer to reality which is ordinary human life, lives and

lifetimes!
