mark 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 What is the purpose of mankind ? To achieve self-realistion and return to God, after struggling for so many past lives as animals, unable to reason Why has GOD created us ? We (our true-selves) are eternal spirit souls. God creates these bodies for us to live out our desires, but we will only be happy when we return to him, and not while we are struggling for existence in the material world, like fish out of water. why are there so many GOD ? means 1 would have been sufficient ? There is only One God - he has many names, and many servants, so many that it causes some confusion (and arguments) to those with little knowledge (this includes me too!) Why is GOD so selfish to make us worship ? He is not - we are the selfish ones, wanting to enjoy the material world and wanting to forget God who has given us what we desired (and in some cases what we deserve). When we start to worship its a sign that we are trying to find God and tell him that we love him and want to go back to him. Hope this helps, sorry for any mistakes on my part or any offence.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 23, 2005 Why doesnt GOD provide us the capacity to remember our previous births, and the suffering indicted on us during those previous lives, if this provision is made then one will take care to live his life without doin any sins. After all one learns from his mistakes and as GOD has deprived us of rememberance of our previous life we do we not from it. Also why doesnt he come and teach us personally ? Also what is the point in carring the results of our karmas to our next birth , instead he could give us the fruits in this birth only. for e.g. if one does a sin of killin someone he at once get the deserving punishment for it. Thus his case would be a lesson for everyone to learn from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 24, 2005 Why doesnt GOD provide us the capacity to remember our previous births --because we came to this world to forget that we are eternal.. so krsna through maya illudes us that we really take birth and then we die After all one learns from his mistakes --not necessarily... the humans are constantly engaged in wars and conflicts, we see the mistakes (deads and sufferings) and we make e new war harder than before Also why doesnt he come and teach us personally ? --he came... saints of all religions see him . Let us became saints and we'll see that god is around us and inside our heart Also what is the point in carring the results of our karmas to our next birth --because if our debt is of 1 million dollar and we have only half million, we have to take a new birth to work and find other money.. Karma is there to make us eternally bound to this world, not to save us. It is God who will save us if we surrender, not the fact that we recognize our mistakes.. there's no possibility to avoid mistakes in this world Thus his case would be a lesson for everyone to learn from. --prisons are 90% full of people who were once in the prison, but when he got free he demonstrated that lesson was useless and he quickly came back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
