Re: Is homosexuality a sin

[ This is the sickness and the insane madness that is the human mind of belief. Fortunately, the mind is a myth, it's just some imagined story, no one thought of, spoke of, wrote, or read. There's just what's happening, that no thing, not a thing makes happen, nor can make unhappen. When you produc...

Re: Is homosexuality a sin

And then let's go in another direction: what is the role of a parent? Your question is very important since children are the future generation and anything enters the brain of a child easily, especially when preached by their parents due to the strong confidence present in the hearts of children to...

Re: Is homosexuality a sin

Apart from your seeming ignorance of the laws in the coutries of the people you are writing to here, you don't seem to realize that consenting adult unmarried sex is legal in your own country.

It can be a Lotus flower or a conch shell. But, the root meaning is fixed in one item only (rudha) as pe...

Re: Is homosexuality a sin

If sin is breaking the law of god, you have to ask why would homosexuality be a sin, when sexual orientation is not a choice. Because if sexual orientation is not a choice then it has to be natural - or a choice of god. The sole aim of marriage is to produce children. This point is defeated. Hence ...

Why is the love among souls temporary and unrealistic?

Why is the love among souls temporary and unrealistic? Swami replied:- Compared to the absolute reality, the relative reality is unreal. Shankara told that any temporary thing is also unreal by itself in all the three times namely past, present and future. This can be proved by the cinema shooting ...

Re: The Tragedy of Life

It seems like an oxymoron to be able to 'enjoy misery'. So, how, EXACTLY, does and could one 'enjoy' 'misery'? Also, from what I have observed those who appear to be far more miserable, and thus could be considered to 'enjoy' being 'miserable' do NOT appear to be in a 'blissful' state AT ALL, let a...
