[QUOTE="pk70, post: 78111, member: 5889"] Pk70 let me explain again what exactly I am trying to relay, I think there might have been a degree of misunderstanding or misinterpretation. Amar ji asked, Is god a healer? The answer from me would be; no. My comical answer would be; if god is a healer he/she needs to go back to med school. (now that’s just for entertainment) [U] My proof: reliabilism[/U] [B]You have brought a smile on my face[/B]. My point: We put parameters on God…as individuals. Which is wrong but natural and understandable because we, as the pesky humans, are plagued with self-consciousness and do not wish the destruction of the self which death may bring. So what do we do? We pray when death is near, hoping that someone will hear our pathetic, vulnerable and meager calls. I know this sounds myopic and a very elitist but this does occur amongst the people living the ‘unexamined life’. (heck may even occur with me when i am on my deathbed) [B]Speaking in context of this world, I agree and smile the way you put it. [/B] Another observation: But we must be careful; we cannot pray for too much…we stay constrained within the boundaries of reason whenever we pray because we are scared of disappointment. If god does not follow through it may be a blow to our belief system (again destruction of the I), which we spent years of our lives constructing like a pyramid. Although we have a perfectly rational excuse in Karma ideology if he doesn’t answer our prayer, we continue to keep our prayers within the laws of science and physics, unless you are 5 years old, when you pray for more extravagant things…like the power to fly through walls and rob the local sweets shop, or in this case the ability to regenerate limbs. [B]How can I call it incorrect; however, my pick was the true seeker who asks nothing, and literally neither good or bad things can leave any affect on him/her[/B] Discourse con’td (feel free to disagree): However what I found intriguing is this: If you have accepted the death of absolute uncertainty That is another brain exercise but by hinting at it, you made me feel relaxed Quote: Originally Posted by [B]pk70[/B] [B][I]Why to pray? Just accept it, by the way, limited reason is itself an insult, it is question of admitting it [/I][/B] And are no longer just praying for it …. Why do you so adamantly believe in the existence of love? A state of Absolute Uncertainty would not allow it. [B]May be because death hasn’t occurred yet as said above.[/B] And if absolute uncertainty does not allow it…then it is unreasonable to say that someone has accepted a state of absolute uncertainty. This is where I think you are confused with my statement “let us pray for the death of absolute certainty” (because no one, including myself, will ever reach this state; I am absolutely certain of that) [IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Gurdeep/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG] [B]Here I have missed it if compared to the above statement. Stephen Colbert, he is very good. I miss his show, no time these day. What he did in white house, it is still fresh. [/B]We can only pray for the death of absolute certainty… however it is unlikely to come to any reality. Thus the enlightened spiritual seeker is one who is beyond this prayer.

A formal forgiveness is a gift you give to strangers and I see no strangers amongst us. I hold no grudges [B]Now you get a star:star::star::star: [/B] Cheers (no joke) Something to ponder: Is absolute uncertainty = absolute certainty My premise: To be absolutely uncertain about something is to be certain that there is no answer. So absolute uncertainty may entail some degree of certainty. However, you can also be uncertain that the answer to the question is absolutely uncertain. [U] These are both regressive arguments…stretching to infinity[/U] Thus: Absolute uncertainty = Absolute certainty [B]You have buried me under double edged words, let me have a deep breath [/B] [B][FONT=Verdana]Last time I talked about you with aad ji, I mentioned how some of your statements[/FONT][/B][FONT=Verdana] turn into brain exercises.
