OnlineHost: *** You are in "Life - Beliefs Hinduism". ***
Cng18: hey finally somebody
Sitaram: hi
Cng18: hello SITARAM
Sitaram: hello
Sitaram: you have several people here
OnlineHost: PremJ has left the room.
Cng18: no discussion going on
Sitaram: so .. what brings you folks to Hindu Beliefs?
Cng18: curiosity
Sitaram: just something new to do and see..
Sitaram: is anyone in here Hindu
LenCrag: let sitaram speak and expound
Sitaram: well.. you are welcome to visit my web site.. with 100 pages on Hinduism..+other religiions ... that should keep you busy for at least 1/2 hour
OnlineHost: LenCrag has left the room.
OnlineHost: Daintydevl has left the room.
Sitaram: o lord. that cleared out some people
Cng18: SITARAM can you please quote sth from GITA
Sitaram: well.. one of my favorite verses is ch 4 verse 11... which is... "In whatever way people approach me (to worship).. I accept them (and their worship)... people everywhere follow My path"
Cng18: SITA one more prayer before I go to sleep
Sitaram: and my other favorite is ch 9... verse 26 ... "Whoever offers to Me.. with sincerity and purity of heart.. a fruit..flower..leaf ..water....that offering I accept"....
Sitaram: which. in a way .. is related to the Christian Eucharist.. offering bread and wine...
Cng18: that was a nice one
Sitaram: and in the greek orthodox church... they say.... during offering: "Thine own... out Thine own.. we offer unto Thee.. because of All and for All"
Sitaram: so.. you see.. we humans have nothing...
Sitaram: and yet.. if your child comes to you with a stick.. or a stone or a feather...and offers it.. out of love...you have no need of that stick or that feather...and yet you most certainly accept it... and.. perhaps even put it away.. and bring it out years later... to look at
Cng18: that was beautiful
Sitaram: thank you... yes.. it is .. there are many beautiful things.. but we must have eyes to see...when Arjuna asked Lord Krsna to show him the Lords Universal Form...it was necessary for Lord Krsna.. to give Arjuna.. "spiritualized visiion".... so.. you see.. even for us to "see".. requires a GIFT.. which is from Kripa.. or Grace...: if you were given truly spiritualized vision at this very moment... you would suddenly see.. that God is all things... you would not be able to endure that vision... the very fiber of your being would be undone... that is why... we are protected ... by Maya.. or Illusion...
Cng18: SITA I am getting lost
Sitaram: we could not bear to see the actual glory of all things....
Cng18: please keep it to simple prayers
Sitaram: well.. is it not time for you to sleep...
Cng18: here I have one from Imitation of Christ
Sitaram: ahh.. let us hear it...
OnlineHost: Cng18 has left the room.
OnlineHost: Cng18 has entered the room.
Cng18: lost connection
Sitaram: you lost your connection
Sitaram: yes.. I guessed
Cng18: Christ: My child, if you desire true happiness, then... I must be the ultimate goal of all your works
Sitaram: yes...
Sitaram: how interesting.. that is essentially what Krsna says to Arjuna.. in the Gita
Cng18: Too often your affections are inclined towards yourself and other creatures;
Sitaram: "Whatever you do.. offer the fruits to Me... do all things for Me...
Cng18: direct them toward Me, and they will be purified.- end
OnlineHost: YOGIBOB has entered the room.
Sitaram: also.. I heard interesting advice once from a spiritual person...
Sitaram: they said that whatever is troubling you.. offer it up as an Offering...
Sitaram: for whatever is offered.. is accepted and sanctified...
Cng18: that was nice
Sitaram: even.. anger.. lust.. anything.. illness.. pain... can be offered .. as an offering...
Sitaram: just like.. the little pebble or feather.. which the child offers
Cng18: ok SITA time to hit the bed.
Sitaram: if we see the world and life with spiritual vision.. then whereever we are.. is a holy place
Sitaram: good night..
Sitaram: nice to meet you
Cng18: good night
