Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 To get a human body is a rare thing. Make full use of it. There are four million kinds of lives which a soul can gather. After that one gets a chance to be human, to get a human body. Therefore one should not waste that chance. Every second in the human life is valuable. If you don't value this then you will weep in the end. Because you are human, God has given you the power to think and to decide what is good and bad. Therefore you can do the best kind of action. You should never consider yourself weak or a fallen creature. Whatever may have happened up to now may be because you didn't know, but now be careful. After getting a human body, if you don't reach God - then you have sold a diamond at the price of spinach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I will need to " Be careful! " This post has received a number of responses which I cannot post. I was doubtfull about the decision to approve the initial message anyway. I saw it in the main as simply someone's spiritual message rather than holding a specific religious belief. Some of the words could be looked at as the opposite to tha,t but overall it's theme was general, and seemed to me to basically promote someone to value life and one's relationship with a higher power, and to seek spiritual/religious values, even if I did not agree with every word. The problem is that although we would like to promote the idea that most would benefit from searching and/or finding a spiritual/religious sense to life, we have a rule against posting messages of a specific religious nature. It is a very hard road to walk and that is why we don't even have many messages with a general spiritual nature. Since this whole area is really of a very personal nature, the rule is that way so that anyone can come here no matter what their spiritual/religious view without others trying to tell them how/what to believe and to not let that intrude into our discussions here. I do not think that anyone has the right to tell anyone else what they should/should not or could/could not believe of a spiritual/religious nature or prosthelize (sp?)in the face of unwanted efforts. In the future, if anyone wants to post things of spiritual/religious nature it must be of a very general nature, so please read them carefully before submitting or don't be upset when they don't make it to the board.
