This is what i am saying: Everyones life is ticking down to death, and after death they will have to take birth again in this world of suffering, and do it all again.........and what are people doing?
Their worshiping sports, or women, or money, and they are doing nothing for their spiritual advancement, this worship of mundane things is illusionary ...[text shortened]... birth, and just chase sense enjoyment, which even the hogs, dogs, camels and asses can achieve.

Aye,aye...still they might give out a bit of biff but I doubt even they are stupid enough to die for their "religon"

Would you have that he made us mindless drones?
praise be to the god who stands back and lets people kill each other over who's more wrong about him than the other as opposed to just stepping in and settling it once and for all 🙄

I really don't see your justification for that positon :]
Originally posted by karoly aczelWorship of substitute religion, will not end the cycle of birth and death, because substitute religion doesn't raise the consciousness to the required platform for returning to the spiritual world.

If people are accepting error in the place of truth, then they will not be successful in returning back to Godhead, because to return home to Godhead, one must have correct knowledge and understanding of the Lord.
If one doesn't have correct understanding, their so called love will be only cheap sentimentalism, and ineffective .

-Removed-You have been living for eternity in this material creation, in every cycle, but because you have not taken to the spiritual life of devotion to God, you keep coming back, time and time again.
And now you find yourself in this age, but it doesn,t matter what age it is, because now you have been presented with the solution to end the cycle of birth and death.
So now that you know that you can take to the spiritual life and end all this birth and death, will you do it....its up to you.
And the society continues to decay, because the people are not choosing the spiritual living, but choosing the materialistic life. ( they are creating their own conditions )
I am doing it (the spiritual life)...... and I know lots of people who are also doing it, (doesn,t matter what the age is)
-Removed-The vegetables are growing, for something to grow there must be the presence of the soul.
The soul doesn't become the vegetable, it is within the vegetable as the living force, and when the plant dies the soul takes another birth, then another, until it gets the human form of life......and when it has the human form it can question its own existence, and then decide to take to the spiritual life, and go back home to God head.
Originally posted by vishvahetuOh, there has to be more than a soul present, don't you think? Unless water *is* sould.

My vegs die sometimes, when I grow them. Does this mean they lack a soul?
When I eat a carrot from my garden, am I then a murdere?
