    The God Element

    Ambarsaria ji, A: Confused ji I wrote that knowing the danger but felt it will be worthwhile to contrast. I can correct or change as you explained. Con: I thought that this more or less might have been the case. :-) == A: In terms of the following, Quote:more to do with working...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    I have expressed my intentions for writing here before. If you don't like what I write, and especially since you judge them as “going on and on and on”, why do you continue to read them? But don't tell me to go to a Buddhist forum instead; my posts are aimed at Sikhs, so where but in a Sikh...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    Chazsingh ji, Well, it requires many levels of belief and imagination does it not? First, you have to conceive of such a “one” which you can only do with reference to what you know, namely that which is based on sense experiences. Second, you must have some basis for believing that what...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    Tejwant ji, How perceptive. I'm being sarcastic, of course. Yes there was some aversion. But not to worry, because I'm one of those people who, although we get very angry, very fast, it goes away almost immediately. Besides who can get angry at Gyani ji for long? He comes across to me as...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    Gyani ji, So you were quick to make the comparison and you think that this gives credibility to your line of reasoning against karma. But what kind of argument are you actually relying on? I wonder what your reaction would be if each time that I argued against the concept of God, I came...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    Luckysingh ji, The idea of “knowing karma accounts” is wrong in any context. But understanding karma is called for in all situations (whether it happens or not is another matter) given that there is some kind of action, mental, verbal or bodily, all the time. Not understanding means more...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    Chazsingh ji, Replace Waheguru and Satnam with Jesus, Krishna, Ram, Buddha, Dao, Om, THAT etc. and you may begin to have an idea what this really is about. Allow me to explain. There are a number of meditation subjects enumerated in the Buddhist texts which when contemplated upon...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    Luckysingh ji' Karma is action, and you are suggesting that it be ignored and instead to focus on God Realization for which particular actions be taken. Sounds like a contradiction to me. And like it or not, you are making a case for karma and why due consideration should be given to it. Let...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    SP ji, That is not what I was implying. But your question has reminded me of one particular application of the belief in karma, so I’d like to say something more. When we interact with other beings we do it either with unwholesome state of mind or with wholesome state of mind. Anger...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    Ambarsaria ji, Causes are experiences such as a moment of anger, sensuous attachment, pride, miserliness etc. on one hand, and kindness, compassion, generosity and understanding etc, on the other. Resultants are such as the experience of seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and tasting...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    Ambarsaria ji, As I said before, it is pointless to try and indentify a particular cause and its corresponding result. Indeed with a little understanding it will be seen that this can’t quite be done. The point is to understand different experiences and come to see how some are of the nature...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    Tejwant ji, My response to you is in blue. I would like to forget all this *** for tat thing but one thing caught my eye which forced me to write this post because it needs a lot of knowledge and clarifications. You write: Quote: Other than simply stating that the Truth can't be...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    Ambarsaria ji, So this means that Karma is used to mean action as well? Some people appear to insist that In Sikh teachings karma is rejected because it means “consequence of past actions”. Also, if karma and karam are mentioned in the context of doing and acting only, does it follow...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    Tejwant ji, I think I would have snapped at you and be on the warpath, had it not been that I just read a couple of pages from a book on adult ADD I started reading a few days ago (which is one reason I made use of the concept instead of my usual reference to particular mental states). In...

    Controversial Why Is The Law Of Karma Rejected?

    Tejwant ji, More later, but for now just want to say that I appreciate your work at the Govt. Clinic. Keep it up. The reason I questioned you was not because I was offended, just that I consider other things more in need of attention than having ADD.
