Inherant or inherited……..learn to love
The big thinking topic , our origin ourr path ..
Free will and determinism
For me , free will and expression is inherant in the soul.
Love , in its ultimate condition is also never static ..but ever increasing ….
We are familiar with the expression learn to love …. do we not experience that even in this life …
And according to association our love may increase ….both in the material and spiritual plane
Mahaprabhu has come to give something never before given ….
In the Sastra there are examples of devotees changing their type of relationships and love for Krishna .
For some reason our love and attraction for God was not initially displayed or appreciated , we , are expanded from Lord Balaram , our independently given love was not given to God , or not developed to experience spontaneously to God , but in other expansions of God it was , their spontaneous deep loving attraction was immediately felt in them .
But we get to know of God’s qualities from others who do , they come amongst us and we can begin to learn to love Him , along with discarding our false covering …the body and its fake entanglements
But once you love God that’s not the end , Love and learning is ever increasing ..for God is unlimited ….
I think Christian theological thinking is very broad but probably too widespread ,some of it highly speculative and infiltrated by non theological thoughts .
Some really good .On the other hand God has an individual relationship with each living being , everyone is on a path or some kind , but relationships and love are never fixed or static , equally the proud theists, should never say ” you ought to love God the way I do or see God the way I see God “
So if one wants truth and love , God will show someone truth and love , if one is not really looking for pure truth and pure love , mixed teachers will become prominent for them . One of my Christian Siksa Gurus is Hildegard Von Bingin.
For me , she is very pure in her teachings , in her arts , her music and writings , very Vedic…St Catherine of Bologna another , I think these Christian mystics much closer to Jesus , than some of the formal institutions.
