Ishna | Ishna ji we treat our dog with Chicken Biryani, Goat meat (no spices cooked with just some ginger and Garlic) and sometimes McDonalds french (maximum 2 or 3) fries as a treat. We cut down his other feeding during these days as he is on weight control dietwinkingmunda
He share 3-4 raw almonds a day when I have mine and one burki of Chappati/or paratha.
He shows great affection and care and we do the same.
Life can get complicated if you let it.
Sat Sri Akal.

I'm guilty of giving my pet mouse too many treats... a snake would have a hard time eating him now... hehe Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/questions-and-answers/34206-did-i-feed-the-birds.html
And nice reminder about finding God within oneself first!
I was in no way encouraging looking for God within "objects", I was taking about the "empty" space between your face and the object you're looking at, which would be occupied by air I guess, but what's in the space between atoms???

Everything is God, right?

Ishna ji in terms of the following, I was in no way encouraging looking for God within "objects", I was taking about the "empty" space between your face and the object you're looking at, which would be occupied by air I guess, but what's in the space between atoms???

I have been searching for the answer to this as soon as I discovered the ability to ask it of myself and others. I have not found a straightforward answer I am sure scientist/physicists probably fully understand it. I also ask myself complementary which is what is beyond the beyond, meaning where does matter end and what is nothingness?
Great question so it just shows how our minds at times quite similarly while never knowing of people thousands of miles away and never having met them?
I believe I quoted it before that my father used to say when we were very young that " You can spend all your life studying a single blade of grass?" Indicating the vastness and depth of nature.
Life is wonderful at that level.
You ask very refreshing and direct questions. Great mind.
Regards.
Sat Sri Akal.  |

Let me try and find a good source of it online.
