Yes, but not one size fits all. This is the problem with christians as well.
Take someone like Agerg. You think the same stuff is going to work on him as everyone else?
I know you think you are telling it like it is, and that's fine, but where to from here? (I hope it's not the same ol',same ol'π
We gots to be more compassionate.
Give a d is or that- when it is neither.
So where to from here?
Surely not the science forumπ³
There is not a truth for one person and a different truth for another because we are all in the same world and all have the same problems..

Originally posted by FMFIt doesn't matter what I think. I know nothing so clearly you know something I don't.
Are you new to the forum? I have never tried to replace anyone's beliefs with my own on this forum. I am not going to try to replace your beliefs with mine. I have never tried to replace Dasa's beliefs which include the abuse-strewn assertion that no one is "spiritual" unless they submit to the "authority" of the Vedic teachings. Do you think he is right or wrong?

He was right. Look at us - me , you and rvsakhadeo. We are supposed to be representing Vedic religon and all 3 of us are like chalk and cheese.
Like chanting for example. I've seen those made Hare's rushing around chanting their heads off, even when it's internal, and I can dig that. But thats not what I do when I goto the temple. Never will.
Old fashioned Zen meditation and a bit of yoga in the morning is all the "spiritual" practice I do.
I think it is mad to think that we're all the same, even if we do all return to the same God head

Originally posted by divegeesterI see myself as trapped, voluntarily, in a piece of concrete poetry.
However my view on the FMF/Dasa exchange is that FMFs effort to act as a foil to dasa's incessant proclamations of truth-holding and his fight to combat spiritual and intellectual dishonesty, is the only thing that makes having dasa here a worthwhile enterprise.
Originally posted by DasaIt's because animals are not as "evolved" as the human race. π
With an animal you can be assured of their behaviour under certain circumstance and conditions - but humans have this thing called - hate, spite, envy, retribution, cheating, sadism, cruelty and callowness -that animals do not have.

I said we all have the same problems and that the truth for you applies to me as well.
Originally posted by tomtom232Yes. So , it is my contention that you must follow whatever path you are on to it's logical end.
Yes, if God is infinite then there are infinite paths that end and begin from God.
Either it leads you back to god, or you scrap it cause you find out it is illogical (wrong).
Lots of problems with misinformation /disinformation here.
I started a thread about chopping and changing religons but didn't get any bites , so .. I guess my point was so good that no one could add anything to it π
..or I am just getting ignored π

Some have learnt some lesson already (perhaps in past lives), and hence understand inherintly certain spiritual teachings whereas other will have to work hard on the same "problems".
