Sri Jibankrishna discussed:

What will you say about Creation – existence – dissolution in one word? It may be termed as motion isn’t it? See, a man is born, then he becomes 4 years, then 10 years, then he attends the old age and ultimately dies. So in one word it means a motion, isn’t it? It is the manifestation of the latent capacity. But in God what is there? All the forces minus death. But Buddhists to a certain extent conceived it. They use to say disease, old age and death. But Vedantists say besides these three things there is another and that is Atma or Soul. What is another meaning of Atma? The form of this body which you see in dreams, trances etc.

About 9000 thousand years ago, Rig Veda is saying, ‘Ekam Sat’ (One only exists), but could not say what is that ‘one’. Then they said, He is merged with this universe as Paramatma or Supreme self. Now can anybody say anything after this? This is a sophistry and big poetic finish, so that nobody can say anything against it. Then comes ‘Tattamasi Svetoketo’ (Svetoketo you are that He) and then comes ‘Aham Brahmasmi’ (I am Brahma or God).

Noi siamo eredi di tutti i buoni pensieri dell’universo, se ci apriamo ad essi. Tutto ciò che unisce con l’universale è virtù. Tutto ciò che separa è peccato. Nessuno può essere felice finché tutti non sono felici. Quando fate del male a qualcuno, fate del male a voi stessi, perché voi e vostro fratello siete uno. (more…)

Jibankrishna discussed:

A part of complete works of Swami Vivekanada Vol-II was read thus: “According to Sankhya, nature is omnipresent. One omnipresent mass of nature in which are the causes of everything that exist. What is meant by cause? Cause is the fine state of manifested state. The un-manifested sate of that which becomes manifested.”
