But, toombaru, you got to admit, it's great entertainment! No informational value, of course, no " nutrients " , but as a piece of literary fiction, it's great entertainment! This brings up the " issue " about minds' propensity to name things, label things, and then BELIEVE it's own namings/labellings as being real entities. As such - >>now here this, now here this<< - there's absolutely no difference between brahman and atman, and snow white and cinderella. For one " person-yet-to-be " (who probably never will) to believe, and give >>publically expressed<< recognition and credence to one set of made-up characters {brahman, atman} as being meaningful, spiritual concepts, while dismissing the other set {snow white, cinderella} as being merely imaginary... well, that only shows the extreme gullibility of mr/ms. " yet-to-be " . ~~~~Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
