Because GOD is GOD and gets HIS ministers to their work otherwise why have some? BUT ALLAH doesnt ask us to ask through the ministers but says ask HIM directly (isnt it better that the voice reaches the highest authority in its original form rather than going through filters?) so my question still stands...Why do Hindus ask the ministers over the king?
Well if they are of the same GOD then why in different forms/ colours and why does GOD have to come down himself? Esp when he has ministers what use are these ministers if they dont even do their own work and make god come down?
If the supreme GOD is the same one residing in the GODs he created and living things, The prayers will reach him anywhere , any time. So one can call him with any name, pray him in various ways and also can reach him through various practices in accordance with the Dharma. Cosmic soul is the one which is taking these forms.
Regarding GOD coming down as a man. It appeals to mankind in a wonderful way if GOD shows the right way in human form by living a human life.
Taboo today was not taboo back then and vice versa....Again was God not far sighted enough to see the change in eras....BIG changes like Sati needed to be taken out...heck who even put it in what was the purpose back in the 7th century for that?
How and how can this theory ever be tested?
Times change and laws change, there is no law that works for all the times at all the places, I believe reason why GOD is siding with Science and Reason in present day, both combined is like a modern religion.
How and how can this theory ever be tested?
The experiments are happening to prove that the 5 th dimension and higher dimensions exists, they are smashing the particles and are searching for the traces of Gravitons(Gravitons are the reason for gravity). Gravitons can travel from one brane to another brane proving the existence of higher dimensions.
There is a new theory called String theory which claims that it can explain every thing from celestial bodies , the laws associated with them down to the level of atoms and energy.
For long scientists are trying to find a bridge between Quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of relativity, space time etc..etc...
The holy grail is to explain every phenomena happening in this universe in a single equation. That is like decoding the cosmos.
I believe every thing that exists is a relative, if develop a program, you are like god to this code, you can enhance,introduce virus, develop anti virus etc..etc....
Then how and when did he teach?
After achieving Niravana Buddha started his teachings. After his death he integrated himself with the cosmic soul.
Appreciated to know they are your thoughts and yours alone...The next Hindu will tell me totally different stuff!
It would be true ONLY if you can quote it from your book otherwise it is your personal addition to the religion!
What I have told is Vedic knowledge.
Vedas ---> Upanishads ----> Bhagawad Gita.
Vedas are divine revelations ---> Upanishads are the synthesis of Vedas ----> Bhagawad gita is the synthesis of Upanishads and Vedas.
But one needs some basic vedic knowledge to read them. Unfortunately I have to read them in English some of the important versus and I also received some guidance.
In Vedas there are various hyms related to pleasing nature and its forces. But the core and important thing is "Aranyaka", this chapter is all about Rishis meditating in Forest and receiving divine revelations, the hyms about Atman and Brahman.
Where does it say so? Or again your thoughts? Fharmic philosophy didnt allow it you guys forcefully introduced it by claiming its time to change!
Surrender to GOD and accept what he says do not think beyond is the Abrahamic motto. Dharnmic philosophy is liberal from the beginning.
That is up to them like it is up to you to add and subtract at will
MOST verses are addressed with WE the holy WE will punish them which means GOD will punish them not humans
Other verses are starting with O Muhammad do this and that like in Gita oh Arjun fight your cousins! likewise O Muhammad fight the WRONG DOERS....
Right and wrong is not always believers vs non believers.
The only fight prescribed in the Quran FOR human is strive for good
Yet we have ethic-less and moraless scientists
There is always Good which stands against bad, reason why we exist.
