So that is your objection to Advaita? People calling themselves God? I think you are totally missing the point. We are only saying that Lord himself became many, and there is no question of "I being the God", when something is present everywhere. God is just "I am" and not anything specific as you or me, which are just points of desire that will vanish some day.Originally Posted by tatvam
I dont see any difference from my own monistic guru whose teaching is the goal of life is to be in divine service ~ divine service is what?? What does God want as service? What does he lack? Does he need me to serve him coffee every day? This is just meant to be a human analogy. I see the same thing in Alvar hymns, and no real contradictions. People are encouraged to involve in divine service so that their love towards God may ripen, that does not mean that is end point of the spiritual journey. There is nothing called worship or service ultimately - that means God is lacking in something. The ultimate Godhead cannot be worshipped - it is beyond any such concepts.
Aftering talking so much about purifying oneself by loosing "I" and "mine", and yet you talk of divine service, with "I" serving "He" . Can you really cheat the Lord this way? This talk will vanish when the wisdom dawns. What to do? He himself is desiring to do service to himself. Let us just respect his wishes and move on...
Qualified monism has to finally end in monism only, beyond these levels of divine service. No objections to the aim for the goal of divine service, and it will certainly carry you to the very high in the end.
Thank you.if Avidya can't be explained for those in avidya..then you also don't understand that , and even Shankarachrya didn't understand that..because all of us in avidya only..then how to get solvation?
