    why not?

     

    is not this what normal people do without any voices in their head?

    I had an interresting convo about this yesterday acctually. The spiritual is in one way primary, and the physical secondary (made by conciousness). But why are we here? I think we are here to build and take part in the creation, making the secondary primary, in a sense.


    second part: yes, thays what humans do. I am human, arjuna is human, my neighbours are human. I was exploring the concept of dharma, finding once purpose and human flourishing. And no, you dont need a voice in Your head to find it.

    Hello all, wanted to share what i got put of this text. Ill hapilly listen to what you got out of the gita, or Your thoughts on the topics.

     

    here we go:

     

    Dharma

    • O Sun, sole traveler of the Heavens, controller of all, Surya, son of Prajapati, remove thy rays and gather up thy burning light. I behold thy glorious form; I am he, the Purusha within thee.
      Isha Upanishad
       

    Over 3,000 years ago, two rivaling royal families stood ready to battle in northern India. Arjuna, the rightful heir to the throne, was prepared to fight for his rights. But as he looked at his relatives, teachers, and friends on the opposing side, he was overwhelmed by deep sorrow. How could he kill his own kin?

    It was at this moment that the Supreme Personality of god, Krishna, revealed Himself to Arjuna. In the text, Krishna is described as the source of all existence. Arjuna humbly asked for guidance: "Now I am your disciple, and my soul is surrendered to you. Please instruct me."

    Krishna/the Supreme Personality of Godhead said: "My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you? They are not at all befitting a man who knows the value of life. They lead not to higher planets but to infamy. (...) Give up this petty weakness of heart and arise."

    Through gripping dialogue, Arjuna learns about the transient and ever-changing nature of the material world. They explore temptations, desires, and suffering and how these affect our lives. They learn about the three qualities that govern the universe: goodness, passion, and ignorance. Krishna also reveals the essence of the soul and its boundless nature: "I am the soul, O Arjuna, which exists within the hearts of all beings. I am the beginning, the middle, and the end of all that lives."

    The soul goes through a cycle of bodies, just as a person changes worn-out clothes for new ones. Although Krishna teaches us about the illusion of the material world, it does not absolve us of our duties. It teaches us that we must perform our roles selflessly, with love and devotion to God. In the end, Krishna reveals His universal form, showing that He is the source of all creation and destruction.

    "The Bhagavad Gita" addresses profound philosophical and ethical questions and provides valuable guidance on how to live a life of purpose and meaning. Its teachings have inspired countless individuals on their spiritual journeys and continue to be a source of wisdom and inspiration for people around the world."

    "Karma in line with dharma leads to liberation and spiritual growth. The text provides us with timeless guidance on how to achieve this liberation. Furthermore, by acting in Krishna consciousness and performing actions with love and devotion, we can attain yoga - union with the divine. Krishna consciousness strengthens our personal connection with the oversoul and provides a deeper understanding of the divine aspect in our lives.

    Sri Krishna said: It is far better to perform one's own duties imperfectly than to perform another's duties perfectly. Even though they may be imperfect, one's own duties are related to one's natural disposition, while performing another's duties without fully understanding them can lead to danger.

    The illusion of the material world does not free us from our duties. The Gita teaches that one can practice dharma (righteousness) through karma (action). These actions should be performed without attachment to the results. Understanding and living in accordance with this not only is virtuous but also leads to self-realization and purpose. A teacher teaches, an apple tree bears apples. A leader delegates, inspires, and leads in battle. A baker bakes bread, and a good baker bakes good bread. Karma in harmony with dharma leads to liberation. By acting in Krishna consciousness, with love and devotion, one can attain yoga: union with the divine.

    Are you aware of the origin of the term scapegoat? I find it hillarious at least. Back in biblical times the jews had a sermony where they «threw» their own sins on to a goat, and sent the goat out in the desert. The goat presumebly dies while the jews got cleansed of their sins. I think there is a similar tradition still going on, but with a hen. And after it has magically absored the peoples sin it is… smashed to death.

    I am a little confused how this forum works, and my last welcome post didnt get accepted (yet, atleast).


    anyway, point is, i have it on good authority that this site is qaulity. Ive recently had an awakening, and would now consider my self a monist.

     

    I belive in the divine spark in all of us, but also the oversoul. Its obvious, i think, that we are not god, for we are limited.

     

    Problem is, i dont know what the oversoul wants. This is one of the many things id like to learn and explore with all of you, if i pass the golden dawn initiation test ;)

     

    hope to see you!
