Sin is a Christian term. Why bother defining it? Eastern conceptions of karma consider the effects of actions as bringing negative or positive results. The negative result referred to in this text means that mindless eating will burden one with the weight of the food. Food eaten without consideratio...

Perhaps the discussion should center on defining the word "offer"? Your question seems to relate to your understanding from the "good old days." If you think the only way to make an offering is to bring a plate before a deity in a temple and ring a bell and so on, then your eatin...

Thank you for finding out where I discussed this in a lecture. It saves me a lot of trouble. Most of the time, I have discussed things in lectures. After all, that is why I gave them! I appreciate it when you forum readers find out where and post it. Thanks!

Anything created can be destroyed and before that it can be modified. Therefore, it is not absolute. Laws, principles, structures, and the like always exist and assist us to delineate and define our lives. Anything that affects us will by definition depend on how we feel and experience it. This is c...

Only God can say if you are wrong! It is how you feel now. Later on, if you are inclined, you can modify your statement to fit your updated experience. Who am I to state that creation is a certain way? I can only give my opinions. You can accept or reject my opinions based on your experience and inc...

You could always avoid people who exploit and be of service to those who do not. You could try to be of service to the exploiters by assisting them to become better people, yet not getting entangled with them. This is an art and I am not sure it can be taught. Unfortunately, even if you know the art...

Hmmm. The word "master" has so many connotations associated with it that discussing this in depth requires far more energy than I can muster right now. Master-student? Yikes! How about teacher-student? Sounds better, is more realistic, less demanding, and it reflects an open interaction wh...

Being co-creators of God we ought to do something special, we should coordinate our deeds with Him or Her to have real fun! But now it appears that we are living here like rats in the ship. Everyone lives in his own small world, care about himself and his offspring and seeing at others as at enemie...

Oh am I replying late! So sorry. Big work here, no time, exhausted and no brain power to reply, but your question is easy! or it is better to find the spiritual world or heaven just now in present moment and that all without any goals to go there in future,? Yup! Because if you do not get it togethe...

We create our own destination according to our choices. We create heaven or hell by our actions as we cultivate our consciousness and our environment. Our lives on earth reflect that reality within the structure of the facilities we are offered at birth. How we use what we are given determines how w...

I can easily develop a method that goes from the start to a very high level, however, I am not the best person to teach a beginning method. Teaching the beginning is something that others can do and must do. I could, hypothetically, teach those who had the capacity to go from the beginning to a high...

A contamination is anything that is not naturally occurring in our pure spiritual essence. Removing contamination means removing anything that is unnatural to essence. If spiritual realization depended entirely on removing all contamination, no one would realize anything. The practical task of optim...

The most significant problems with religions are their institutionalization. Religion is best tasted near or at the time when their prophets shared their sublime realizations with the people around them. Before distortions appear, before politics, exploitation, or structures appear, religion has the...

This question contains many words and phrases that one can discuss. It is too big a topic to be covered in this forum. Thousands of books discuss anger from every point of view. What more can I add to the discussion? However, I disagree with the premise as it is phrased in the title of the topic. Wh...

1. I am not sure. Please ask some scholar of the literatures.

2. Perhaps they were not as aware of Radha then. Someone needed to make them more aware of the possibility.
