ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS with out theological guidance…from the correct interpretation of the Koran Or washed out Christian (EXTREMISTS), who lean towards the libeterians, and the teachings of Christ are a side show to Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis. Or the Jewish Zionist Who use scriptures for political and libeterian approaches to life , and discard the equality of all beings . Why pick on one .. Misunderstandings and exploitative interpretations have caused wars and exploitative practices.
Thus, the intelligentsia who understand body , mind, and scientifically how matter functions and its purposes within dualism are required. Men of real knowledge.. The Vedas recommends that . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
Generational hatred takes a long time to shift, and obviously, Israel are currently preparing the ground for more of it, fueling a fire that will be very hard to extinguish. Misunderstandings of political philosophy are common. Thus, the best of the Islamic scholars should be accepted by Hamas, as well as Jewish people, so the acceptance of both faiths and their rights and their lands can be accepted by both Israeli and Palestinian . Hopefully, not the kind of priests who formerly and supposedly followed the Old Testament, and had Jesus handed to the Romans and insisted on his crucifixion.. Of course, any new looks at old religious traditions are hard for the old guard to accept , but times move on , and religions need reestablishing .The truth in the material atmosphere becomes lost or altered . Throughout all theological cultures that occures , its not surprising. In Bhagavad Gita Krishna says again and again I come to reestablish proper religious practices , because over a course of time they get eroded by materialism and the representatives of religious traditions change the meanings or purposes of religion. Krishna comes personally or sends a representative. Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja , one of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas, received threats to his life , and the establishment of the Gaudia Vaisnava’s in the west could not be understood by many established traditions in India . So much so that Western people are not allowed into some Indian temples . AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada’s applications of Krishna consciousness in the West could not be understood even by his own Godbrothers in some cases . In the case of Jesus, the Jewish priests were cursed, and they were wrong , we can see the success of the preaching of Jesus worldwide .
Still, traditions can and should be carefully respected , and the people of old traditions can be respected in humble ways . There is no need for violence and hatred ,that demoniac, turn the other cheek , pay respect to one and all, and tollerance are the teachings of Jesus , that teaching is contained in every religion. Both Hamas and the Israelis can learn from that , as can many cultures or religiously inspired theological cultures.
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. http://www.thevedicspectator.com
The great trancendental spiritual and social mobility scheme that is channelling everyone’s energies from a greatly extended base which incorporates all kinds of persons in society and then is connecting them to various lifts and stairwells to the top of the trancendental pyramid . This is trancendentally transporting their lower consciousness in the form of further kinds of purified services and instructions that will gradually prise everyone away from the gross material energies that everyone within the mixed modes of nature feels attraction for , such persons who offer mixed services with personal interests . This trancendental pyramid brings offerings to persons who can offer pure unalloyed services to Divinity. Those persons who speak Sabdha Brahman who are in the topmost levels of God consciousness and are truthfulness , who see everyone as a spiritual being, and who are everyone’s well wishers . They and they alone are purifying the results of everyone’s energies and transforming those energies with the fire of pure devotional sacrifices and then offering them to Divinity Himself , who from His pure devotees feels obliged to accept.
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has offered everyone a chance to understand something of the greatest of the greatest heart , Srimati Radharani and catch a glimpse of pure devotional service.
She is like an ocean , but if you understand one drop of Her devotion, you will drown the whole universe.
Every theologically driven culture has its 1st class , 2nd class and 3rd class followers.
1st class . They have exalted faith and they are extremely well versed in the theological texts , they can expertly apply them in every situation and give current meanings , they can also see parallels in other religions and the sciences of the world to their own particular study. They are friendly to everyone and see everyone situated within Divinity . 2nd class .They have unflinching faith. But they are not so well versed in theological texts , they also have respect for other religious thinkers but discriminate for preaching purposes as to who is or who in not situated in Divinity 3rd class .Their faith is weak , they only see God in their own religions and do not properly respect followers of God in their own or other religions . But by association of the 2nd and 1st class they will improve .
The real feelings of separation as described by Srila Ragganatha das Goswami and our acaryas, such as Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur, are such that such matured intense separation brings forth the spiritual lilas , and the spiritually mentally conceived original spiritual body with specific form and service, this is possible by the practice of the pure Bhakti yoga process . Such devotees who have perfected their Bhakti yoga process are in the spiritual world , like instant communication in a spiritually quantum plane . They are engaged in specific services and experience the trancendental bliss and emotions within their spiritual forms. The example shown by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’ and his followers are that they go in and out of these forms , from Krishna lila to again Mahaprabhu’s lila of spreading Krishna consciousness, which many Gaudia Vaisnava groups are doing ..ISKCON or the like . The more the greed, the more the hankering, and the more the separation, leading to degrees of union .
“We are not on that level, Prabhu,” many devotees say .. But Srila Rupa Goswami describes the beginning, the middle, and the end . Black….white …. Many shades of grey …
But by good hearing , chanting, and remembering the activities of Radha Krishna, one proceeds from black to white in the many shades of grey . Faith carries one a long way …Srila BR Sridhar Swami would say. But..Ragganatha das gives advice for swift progress . Offences of all kinds halt the development of meditations ….so one should avoid them , and humbly proceed with faith under the instructions of all our acaryas ….
The whole concept of the education of children within the boundaries of the Darwinian’s who follow scientific materialism drastically differs from those who understand and realise dualism.
That the body is inhabited by the consciousness is understood throughout many many cultures.
The Vedic systems are one of children revisiting life and revisiting things previously learned , a reminder and as well an opportunity to take learning further with skills and talents that are inherant within brought out further . Whatever state of consciousness one leaves the previous body , one automatically takes up a similar state at rebirth , Lord Krishna says, in His Bhagavad Gita.
Great musicians, for instance, will tell you of their great attraction to music from early age , it would be a shame if all the good things we learned somehow disintegrate at death , lost forever , dont worry they don’t.
Divinity is constantly encouraging us to learn and understand many things about life , and He sets up natural educational systems, the wise are always eager to help others become wise , sharing is essential, even in the animal kingdom.
The matriarch shows the way.
In the Vedic cultures, we think about learning differently,
Never mind the “jnana” ( speculations and contemplations) of the best of the philosophers that can even lead to all kinds of liberation, according to the Vedas . Never mind either high academia or even great opulences of Karmic rewards of money, beauty or fame , brought about by good action in a life , they are after all intoxicating , the Vedas warn they can bring a certain type of pride , making one feel independent and self reliant , without an exclusive need for God . We should, of course, know all such opulences are all swept away in the course of time , and time and tide waits for no man or women . The Vedas therefore recommends the best of paths that are open to all, whatever one’s condition or circumstances . The results of the best of the recommendations are easily obtained , especially in present times . Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has granted special benediction in this age our acaryas say , and once given and accepted, it becomes a permanent asset never to be taken away by time . Like a touchstone, it is increasingly experienced in newer and newer ways . What is it that everyone is ultimately looking for but can’t quite find . Is it not a blissful loving relationships and comradery that can be experienced in ever new and ever enthusistic ways ? See at school’s out time and the joyful expectations of great times with young and exciting friends and lovers as, for example, remember when you had that opulence? Within the fourteen planetary systems of our universe, some semblance of those types of pleasures may be experienced . But time degrades any enjoyments and zest for life , old age and anxiety slips in , this is the material world. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s devotees are telling us to become friends with Krishna along with His friends and also become friends with Srimati Radharani along with Her friends. The Bhakti Bliss of trancendence is an immediate effect of such friendships , one immediately experiences the spiritual kingdom, you don’t need to wait for death , that is Mahaprabhu’s gift who was Himself glorifying the condition of Srimati Radharanis “golden” heart Whatever you are, whatever you have, add Krishna consciousness, and your life will become sublime, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami writes in his Srimad Bhagavatam purports . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
If you haven’t got it you didn’t deserve it ,in karmic terms that has to be balanced out with ….I didn’t deserve it in the past , but I am working on deserving it now and into the future by my actions , mentality and my dealings . The karmic situations are always in flux one way or another. We should always remember the greatest of persons have no interest in deserving or desiring anything of this world , they can live like the poorest or homeless persons and without being noticed but they have hearts of gold and when gold is put in the fire of devotion to Divinity it becomes purer and purer . The Vedas teach us how to desire deserve and forget.
In the Vedic community, the Vaisya or the businessman knew his place ,and he knew how to benefit the community he lived in and the workers he employed , under the supervision of the Brahminical person, the administrative classes would regulate the business dealing.
There is no question of a businessman having insights into how the whole of society knits together, he is only profit minded , and needs supervision.
That deserves are fairly dealt with is Vedic culture, without that what someone deserves they don’t get , because they get exploited . The sciences of psychological conditions fit well with the types of persons who take up the essential elements and duties. Krishna says, “Don’t have the wrong person doing the wrong job , that leads to disaster for everyone.”
The perfection of how to feel emotionally fulfilled..
Since every single emotional experience and any internal feeling originates from Divinity , our own attractions and searchings are perfectly complete when we exclusively exchange any of ourselves with him . Everything that is relative is reconciled and can be perfectly experienced in full and in wonderous ways with the absolute who has no limits to what he can feel or the number of persons he can reciprocate with .. The Vedas tell us this , and Maharaja Pariksit had to be reminded in the Srimad Bhagavatam that even if one thinks of God as an enemy, one stands to benefit , what to speak of otherwise . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
During the Copenhagen agreement discussions between Bohr and Schrödinger sometimes they were intense .Schrödinger at times, became a little frustrated with some of Bohr’s approaches.
Bohr , the great master of quantum physics theories …
Richard Feynman said much later ..
If you think you understand quantum physics and the wave particle puzzle, that means you don’t. ..
The incomprehensible engineering of the universe . Sir Fred Hoyle said that someone has monkeyed with the universe. He and Bohr had the correct approach in trying to get some insights into our universe and consciousness , currently scientific materialism is like a dark cloud that hangs over humanity along with the Darwinian hypothesis that is still regarded as all fact based science. Macro and Micro cannot be equated in any way, the math isn’t there . http://www.thevedicspectator.com
