Parabrahma is the most abstract thing possible. Something without attributes, but, yeah perfect The word ‘Digambara’ certainly means undressed only. This word should not be taken in its literal sense and such literal sense results in concluding that Lord Datta appears undressed. This is the climax ...

What's your point? When the Lord comes in the human body, which follows all the rules of the nature, an ignorant person insults Him seeing the ordinary human body, since he does not recognize the value of the internal form. This is told in Gita (Avajaananti Mam Mudhaah). The Lord can make His body ...

PARABRAHMAN What does Parabrahman mean? It means something, which is other than Brahman. This word does not directly tell us anything about the nature of Parabrahman, since it is impossible to know Parabrahman. Sages have indicated Parabrahman by negative analysis, which means, discarding every ite...

Y do U keep misspelling GUITAR as GITA? The spiritual knowledge is called as Jnana Yoga. The force of confirmation of it through concentration is called as Bhakti Yoga or devotion. Unless the knowledge is associated with devotion, the practical implementation, Karma Yoga, will not materialize. The ...

The atheist says that God does not exist. For him God is nothing i.e., vacant space. This is the first stage. When he sees miracles he becomes a believer in God. He accepts God as some power or energy. The power or energy is also formless, like vacant space. So this concept of God is very close to h...

EQUALITY OF HAPPINESS AND MISERY The Gita says that equality in situations of happiness and misery is yoga (samatvam yoga…). Generally, people misunderstand this concept. They think that keeping oneself inactive towards happiness and misery without any disturbance like a stone is the meaning of thi...

How about Brahman? Is Unimaginable God the same as Brahman? Can we not know Brahman directly? I am that I am? See the unimaginable God Himself is Brahman. Brahman means greatest in the category of times. Suppose God is there and this entire creation is there. When we compared God with this entire c...

I think that everything is interrelated. I believe in spiritual reality. I believe in Dieties. I believe that Deities judge our actions and punish us when it is needed or guide us when it is needed. I don't believe the rest of the things you said. I have spiritual experience for over 15 years. So w...

I imagine the unimaginable god to be a figment of one's imagination. In the imagination domain random figments are scurrying all over the place hoping to never get caught. If you do catch such a figment it only amounts to a single minnow in an ocean of minnows. Any item in this world can be imagine...

The existence of any item is experienced in two ways. In the first way, the existence is realized by direct perception. You realize the pot existing on the floor by looking at it with your eyes. This is direct knowledge. In the second way, the existence is realized by indirect inference. You infer t...

Is he even still alive? I noticed he joined in 2010, posted hardly anything, then suddenly reappeared again in 2022. And his voice isn't on his videos--it's some woman. Odd. I noticed a woman's voice on a video that focused on his being a deity. I didn't realize minions were making all of them. I t...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzjiIbmGJMk I cannot watch the video because we don't have access to youtube in my country. Could you please shortly describe the content of the video? Shall we believe in astrology or not? Astrology is a part of the subject of God (spiritual philosophy) although it ...

Osho accepts Godliness but not God. What do You say? Q1: Osho accepts Godliness but not God. What do You say? [Ms. Thrylokya asked: Osho says that good qualities like love, egolessness, etc., are God. He accepts these qualities as Godliness and does not accept God. He says that Godliness, which is a...

I will ask, AGAIN, How, EXACTLY, could one 'enjoy' 'misery'? The essence of the entire message of Lord Krishna, Bhagavad Gita, is to develop the highest state in which you can be in the state of continuous enjoyment and happiness through entertainment. If you can enjoy the problems also, such conti...

What are you ON ABOUT? Here we have FURTHER PROOF of how these people, back in these days, would look for just absolutely ANY thing, in the hope that it would somehow back up and support some previously CLAIM they made, which I have just QUESTIONED them about. Thank you very much for your replies. ...
