ON BHAKTAS , GYAANIS AND EGO

[Guest guest]

ANUSUYA I THINK YOU MISTOOK DIETO.

 

SAADHAKS THIS IS MY QUERIE- I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THOSE ON PATH OF

GYAANA SO PLEASE DONT BE OFFENDED BY MY WORDS OR QUESTION. RATHER I

WISH YOUR VIEWS AND EXPLANATION ON THIS BECAUSE I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE

WITH THERE OUTLOOK ON CERTAIN THINGS. SOMETIMES I FEEL SHOCKED TOO.

DONT MIND PLEASE. WHY PEOPLE DWELL UPON ESOTERIC THEORIES TOO MUCH? IS

SADHNA ABOUT THEORIES AT ALL?I ALSO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THINGS THAT

PEOPLE BELONGING TO SOME SECTS OR SCHOOLS SAY IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER

THEY ARE GYAANIS OR BHAKTAS. THE ISKCONISTS CALL THE IMPERSONALISTS

EITHER ATHEISTIC OR MAAYAVAADIS. I DONT THINK THERE EXISTS ANY SUCH

THING AS ATHEISM OR DELUSION IN ANY PHILOSOPHY. ATLEAST I CAN SEE NONE.

ARE MY THOUGHTS WRONG?

I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY GYAANIS SAY- WE WONT ACCEPT ANYTHING WITHOUT

TESTING. TO ME IT SEEMS ARROGANCE.AM I RIGHT OR WRONG? THEY REJECT

BHAKTAS PHILOSOPHIES AND SENTIMENTS BUT ISNT LACK OF FAITH ALSO A

DETTERENT AND A RESULT OF NARROW OUTLOOK? WHY DO THEY BLAME BHAKTAS

ALONE?

 

GYAANIS SHOULD NEVER MAKE A MOCKERY OF BHAKTAS BY SEEING THERE

SENTIMENTS AS FANATICAL. FAITH AND LOVE IS HIGHEST WHEREAS IN

COMPARISON LOGIC AND ARGUEMENTS ARE LOWLY

KRISHNA SAYS THAT BHAKTAS AND GYAANIS ARE DEAREST TO HIM.

HE ALSO SAYS- " SHRADDHAVAN LABHYATO GYAANAM " . " WE WONT ACCEPT ANYTHING

WITHOUT TESTING " SEEMS STRANGE TO ME BECAUSE A MEAGRE AND IGNORANT

PERSON ISNT IN THE POSITION OF QUESTIONING OR TESTING. HE DOESNT KNOW

ALL.SO HOW CAN HE QUESTION HIGHER AUTHORITIES?

 

ALSO I THINK THAT ALL PATHS ARE ACTUALLY NOT DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER

REALLY. THE GYAANIS ARE PRONE TO EGOTISM AND LACK OF FAITH IS A RESULT

F THIS EGOTISM.IT IS NECESSARY THAT THEY OVERCOME THIS. BECAUSE THERE

IS NO SUCH THING AS BLIND FAITH . AS FOR BHAKTAS THE DANGER IS THE SAME

IE EGO. THEY HAVE UNFLINCHING AND UNQUESTIONING FAITH AND

INNOCENCE.THIS FAITH AS JESUS SAYS MOVES MOUNTAINS. WHICH IS EXACTLY

WHAT HAPPENS. GOD BESTOWS A LOT OF MERCY UPON THEM AND FULFILLS ALL

THIER FANCIES AND WHIMS SOMETIMES ONLY BECAUSE OF THIER LOVE AND FAITH.

THEY BECOME UNGRATEFUL. THE SCRIPTURES ALSO CONFIRM FOR EXAMPLE KRISHNA

DISAPPEARS WHEN TH GOPIS START THINKING " I AM THE BEST " WHEN HE ACTS AS

THEY DESIRE.ONE DAY URVASHI JI SAID THAT CHANDRAVALI WAS MORE

DEVOTIONAL BECAUSE SHE WOULD NEVER SAY I AM IN KRISHNAS HEART BUT THAT

KRISHNA IS IN HER HEART....
