RELIGION:-12.

-

Such a one among us mortals is a Godman. He is a saint, a Mahatma, a prophet. Such were all our great masters and such are all true men of religion. Religion promises us a world peopled with a generation of Sri Ramakrishnas, Vivekanandas, Sankaras, buddhas, christs and Mohamads. What more we need?

Three Avasthas, VII. Moksha. Post-38. ========================================================================= CATEGORIES IN VEDANTA : Introduction : The Prakriyas or the different categories in the philosophy of Vedanta are the fundamental rudimentary principles with which its ethics and metaphysics are built up. They take into account both the Unmanifest and the Manifest, Brahman, Maya, Isva ra, Jiva and the universe.

Post-7. =================================================================================== When we say God works, it does not mean that somebody else is working.

Chapter 5: Maintaining One's Position-3. What are you going to understand when you are trying to understand yourself? Where is the object? And which is the subject there? When I see an object, I say, "I see this. I know this table, this desk, this person, this something that is in front of me"; but I am not in front of me, so I cannot make such statements in regard to my own self.

All knowledge fails when it becomes a means to the knowledge of one's own self, though it becomes a great success when it is a weapon to know what is not itself. There is this peculiar difficulty which is easy to miss, because of the fact that the only thing that we miss in our daily o...
