He is saying, even without your marvelous effort of using their logic against them by turning it [the logic] on its head thereby(?) exposing their hypocrisy, they will still realize the truth in due time. I am not sure if he is also suggesting that your commendable use of reverse logic might not expedite their realization of the truth or exposure of their hypocrisy.
Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 per cent Of everything you think, And of everything you do, Is for yourself —And there isn't one
I just realized how messed up this whole "using their reasoning" is in the sense that a true worshipper wouldn't care about the world as a reason to worship God. No matter how bad the world was, the wickedness/faultyness/poor condition of the world wouldn't obstruct them from worshipping God.
If they do feel connected to the world. It would be that of responsibility. And they would praying to God for answers. That sense of responsibility would stir them from within. That is the catalyst that creates a spiritual-leader.
Spiritual-leaders act the will of God. It is in the will of God for Him to appoint leaders who care the most for his property.(world)
The above mentioned people are pessimists who take their pessimism as excuses.
Devotion to God is seeing any reason as the reason all the more to worship God, aversion to God(dvesha) is to criticize and seek any reason to all the more not-worship God. Truth of the matter is no single reason is enough for worshipping God. Because we owe ourselves to God more than we can ever recognize.
http://simcha.ilovetorah.com/Do you find it difficult to think positive thoughts? There is so much for which we can all be thankful. Rabbi Avigdor Miller says, “A person who is depressed has a lack of hakaros hatov (appreciation) for what he has been given.” Make a list of everything for which you are grateful and read it every morning.If you find your mind dwelling on negative thoughts during the day, read the list again. Do we ever thank Hashem for the simple things? Walking the hallways of a hospital or nursing home, it is virtually impossible to ignore all the things we take for granted. Does seeing someone on a respirator help us realize how much we should value our ability to breathe? Are we thankful for our functioning extremities when we see someone in a wheelchair, being fed because they lost use of their arms as well as their legs? Do such sights encourage us to take better care of our bodies and appreciate the gift of life? Or do we squander our lives depressed about things we cannot change, failing to recognize the limits of our own mortality? Rabbi Chayim Zaitchyk said, “Be aware of the great value of being alive. When you realize the great treasure that lies in every second of life, you will experience the great joy that is in inherent in each moment. This awareness will motivate you to utilize each moment to its fullest.”
Two guys of two diff religions. All saying essentially the same with regards to the same thing (religious topics).
Sooo... how is religion a "man-made" thing? How is it fancy and against human nature?
We never had anything to do with each other. Never read what each other said.
The only common thing we have is our approaching/love for the Supreme Being.
That shows we are not speaking "on our own". I know I am not "correct" because of what I said but rather because I look up to the Lord. He likely feels the same way of what "he says". What we both stated are in tandum with each other.
From my side all I can say is, I extend my heart out to people like him out of a sense of brotherhood in our adoration of the Supreme Being. And their adoration of a Supreme Being is the topmost thing that is considered when they are being evaluated.
If only we can settle our differences and resentments on this basis.
Actually they have done more against me... all I'm ever doing... well is to point things out.
Anyways I bet that guy is a Cohen... Or well atleast... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_J-P209_(Y-DNA)
Not to sound rude or anything or offend anybody but...
keywords: depression, non-appreciation, things to be grateful for, value of life
Only those of us speaking about religion and being religious are the ones drawn to God.
We are the main guys and the guys who matter.
So... how are others "chosen"? When they just mostly people who are taught, who follow and are almost always being led?
Notice how we both said what we said as responses to what other people asked/said?
I want to come on here to discuss about religion. They drive me away.
If universe is the cause of all misery so be it. Does the universe do it intentionally, does it have awareness of what "he" is doing?
Let us say you walk down the road. There is a terrace and a big pot over there. The pot falls on your head by chance and it hurts. What would be your reaction? What would be your reaction if the pot was actually thrown at you by another person? Would your reactions be the same?
I don't think so. The first case would be dismissed by most of us as "bad day" and we do not go to the court to sue the pot. In the second case we would be furious at the person who threw the pot at us and demand justice.
More importantly, think about whether all the cruelty and misery in the world is relative or absolute. Is there any definitive event or entity in the universe that can be declared "absolutely evil"? Every day your immune system is killing millions of bacteria so are you an evil person?? If the bacteria claim that you are an evil tyrant and mass exterminator would you accept that?
God, from his own point of view is beyond our notions of goodness and evil. If humans decide God created evil based on their own limited perception of reality, then how does it matter to God?
Guard your Dharma, Burn the Myth, Promote the Truth, Crush the superstition.
