I feel that the world would definitely be a better place if religious fanatics, those who are caught up in the "My way is the best" game, undertook a similar test and proved their "best" claim by leaping from the top of the nearest mountain.

[FairfieldLife] More Shankara-dig-vijaya: "...as lightly as a bundle of cotton."
(72-77) Having thus humbled the pride of the Buddhists, the Brahmana sage [Skanda as Kumarila Bhatta] now began to expound the meanings of the Vedic Mantras in order to enlighten [Indra as] king Sudhanvan. The king thereupon said, "In wordy controversies, success and failure depend only on the learning of the respective parties. It does not really prove the truth of the thesis. I can accept the religion of that party as true, who can jump down unhurt from the top of yonder mountain." At these words of the king, all the scholars merely stood aghast looking at each other, unable to take up the challenge of the ordeal. But the Brahmana sage, with his mind concentrated on the Veda, ascended the mountain top, and declared: "If the Veda is the true scripture, my body shall not be hurt by this ordeal." With this mighty declaration, the sage jumped down from the mountain top, as the spectators shouted in wonder of the sight: "Oh! Is it king Yayati coming down from heaven on the expiry of the merits his grandson had transferred to him!" That best of Brahmanas now touched the earth as lightly as a bundle of cotton. Is it any wonder that the Veda protects one with whole- hearted faith in it? Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

"'The best thing for being sad,' replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, 'is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then--to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you. Look at what a lot of things there are to learn--pure science, the only purity there is. You can learn astronomy in a lifetime, natural history in three, literature in six. And then, after you have exhausted a million lifetimes in biology and medicine and theocriticism and geography and history and economics, why then you can start to make a cartwheel out of the appropriate wood or spend fifty years learning to being to learn to beat your adversary at fencing. After that you can start again on mathematics until it is time to learn to plough.'" Merlin, in "The Once and Future King," by T.H. White Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Bush claimed God told him to invade Iraq, Afghanistan: BBC
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20051006/ts_alt_afp/mideastbritainusiraq_051006214432 LONDON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush allegedly said God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, a new BBC documentary will reveal, according to details. Bush made the claim when he met Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and then foreign minister Nabil Shaath in June 2003, the ministers told the documentary series to be broadcast in Britain later this month. The US leader also told them he had been ordered by God to create a Palestinian state, the ministers said. Shaath, now the Palestinian information minister, said: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. 'God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan'.' "And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq...' And I did. "'And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East.' And by God I'm gonna do it'," said Shaath. Abbas, who was also at the meeting in the Egyptian resort of Sharm al-Sheikh, recalled how the president told him: "I have a moral and religious obligation. "So I will get you a Palestinian state." A BBC spokesman said the content of the programme had been put to the White House but it had refused to comment on a private conversation. The three-part series, "Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs", charts the attempts to bring peace to the Middle East, from former US president Bill Clinton's peace talks in 1999-2000 to Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza strip. The programme speaks to presidents and prime ministers, their generals and ministers, about what happened behind closed doors as the peace talks failed and the intifada grew. The series is due to be screened in Britain on October 10, 17 and 24. __ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com __ Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Lynch at Brown U
"It made for a, well, Lynchian scene when David Lynch, the force behind such dark works as Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, touted the power of transcendental meditation (TM) to a packed Brown University audience on Sunday, October 2, clad in a rumpled black-and-white suit- and-tie ensemble while three associates, including John Hagelin, a Harvard-trained quantum physicist, were turned out in understated beige. The auteur, who recently created the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace (www.davidlynchfoundation.org), faced a few tough questions including one about the merits of ontologically privileging transcendentalism over other states of consciousness but mostly charmed the crowd with his humor, Midwestern twang, and enthusiasm for TM." http://www.providencephoenix.com/features/tji/documents/05019546.asp Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] On Buddha and other Avataras of Lord Vishnu
Vishnu Incarnations (Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji's speech on 3-9-96) Compiled and translated by Sri H.V.Prasad The incarnations of Vishnu are countless. Ten of them are popular. But 21 are very special. In each of these, Vishnu Tattva has spread. Krishna Avatara was the greatest. . Imagine two small boys playing on the beach. One of them builds a sand castle. The other too builds a rival castle. They build as if they are emperors. They take happiness from that activity. Seeing them, the parents feel very happy. The father calls them and asks them to go home. Then these boys destroy what they have built. This also they do happily. They do that so that other boys cannot derive pleasure from their labor. What they have done, they finish it. The boy who had built a rival castle was planning to take over the other's castle after his leaving. He is disheartened that the castle was destroyed by its creator. He is disheartened as if his labors were wasted. Who was right and who was wrong? Is the first boy who built and destroyed so that the other boy could not enjoy his castle, right? Or the other boy who was planning to take over the first boy's castle and was disheartened when the first boy destroyed his castle before his departure? Give me your answer tommorow. There are three characters here. Who is the third? Is it God? No. It is the father, who encouraged his son to build a sand castle and enjoyed his son's labors. Of the 21 incarnations, some are important. The same God is in me and makes me speak. The same God is in you all and makes you hear my words. I speak because you hear and you hear because I speak. You are here out of Love for Swamiji. And Swamiji is here because you all have Love for him. The same God has brought us together. In this case, God is the first boy, I am the second and you all are the third boy. The first incarnation took place at the beginning of Krita Yuga. That is at the Sandhi Kaala. The begining of a day is very important. The intellect is in a special condition then( from 4.30 to 6 AM). The second important time is when the sun is at the top, i.e., noon. In the evening the sunset time is also important. Our body is a temple and requires special treatment. Special treatment does not mean special food. To keep the body in good shape and to keep the mind sharp, sadhana is necessary. At these three periods of time, God enters our body. We must be silent and comtemplative at least during those times. At least for five minutes. Many complain that Swamji does not come in their dreams. To them I say, 'I tried but you were very busy and not prepared to accept my presence'. We must think of Him so that he comes to us. We must thank him frequently saying "Because of you I exist. I thank you for keeping me alive till now." In the Yuga Antara time Manvantara was giving Arghya in a river and when he took a palmful of water in his hand, he found a fish in his hand. It requested him to care for it. He took the fish to his home and as the fish grew day by day, he could not care for it. He asked why he was growing and why he had come to him? The fish said that in seven days, a water pralaya (total destruction) would occur. "Take a boat. Saptarshis will come. Take samples of all living things. I will come and lead you out of this pralaya. A demon will steal the Vedas and hide them in the sea. I will come and protect the Vedas." A demon stole the Vedas. Then Hayagreeva came and rescued the Vedas. God came in the form of a fish and sustained the creation. This is Matsya Avataara. The Pralaya occured to weed out the wicked and evil souls. Next is Kurma Avatara. The incarnation as a tortoise. God came and got Amrita for the Devatas. The demons were deprived of it. God did it in a very wise manner. Feelings are important. Scold somebody in a foul temper. He will be hurt. But smilingly correcting someone will be taken in a light manner. If wisdom and gentleness are there, it is not enough. The Rakshashas [demons] had strength. So to take Amrita out of the ocean, He needed the help of the demons [for strength]. Then the Devatas went and surrendered to the demons. The demons became happy. The Angels served the demons. Right from Indra, all the angels served. It is said that to get work done, one has to pray evento a donkey if necessary. After some time passed, the angels submitted a plan to the demons. If we together, churn the milky ocean, Amrita will come out and by consuming it, we all can become immortal. They accepted. Mandara mountain was brought and placed in the ocean. Since there was no support for the mountain to float, it sank. Then the Devatas prayed to Vishnu to help them. He took a special incarnation as Kurma, i.e. the tortoise. When the Lord supported in the form of a tortoise, the mountain floated. Vasuki, the celestial snake became the churning rope. The mountain became

[FairfieldLife] Vasishta on Pseudo-Jnani's...Was Pseudo-Advaita
Hari Om Tat Sat >From Yoga Vasishta, VI.2:20,21 O Rama, one should strive to be a jnani (man of wisdom or direct experience) and not a "jnanabandhu", a pseudo-jnani. Who is a pseudo-jnani? He who studies the scripture for pleasure or profit like a sculptor studying art, and who does not live up to the teaching, is a pseudo-jnani. His scriptural knowledge is not reflected in his daily life. He is more interested in applying scriptural knowledge to promote his physical welfare and sensual happiness. Hence, I regard an ignorant man as superior to the pseudo-jnani. Jnana or wisdom is self-knowledge; other forms of knowledge are but its pale reflections. Jaya Guru Deva Datta Yahoo!

IMO,i notice that people who have completed a few sesshin have a calmness and degree of patience missing in long-term TMers. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

[FairfieldLife] The Argument Clinic (was Re: Dangers of Pseudo-Advaita)

A reception desk in a sort of office building. Receptionist: Yes, sir? Man: I'd like to have an argument please. Receptionist: Certainly, sir, have you been here before...? Man: No, this is my first time. Receptionist: I see. Do you want to have the full argument, or were you thinking of taking a course? Man: Well, what would be the cost? Receptionist: Yes, it's one pound for a five-minute argument, but only eight pounds for a course of ten. Man: Well, I think it's probably best of I start with the one and see how it goes from there. OK? Receptionist: Fine. I'll see who's free at the moment... Mr. Du- Bakey's free, but he's a little bit concilliatory... Yes, try Mr. Barnard -- Room 12. Man: Thank you. [...] The man knocks on the door. Mr Vibrating:(from within) Come in. The man enters the room. Mr Vibrating is sitting at a desk. Man: Is this the right room for an argument? Mr Vibrating: I've told you once. Man: No you haven't. Mr Vibrating: Yes I have. Man: When? Mr Vibrating: Just now! Man: No you didn't. Mr Vibrating: Yes I did! Man: Didn't. Mr Vibrating: Did. Man: Didn't. Mr Vibrating: I'm telling you I did! Man: You did not! Mr Vibrating: I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half-hour? Man: Oh, just a five minute one. Mr Vibrating: Fine. (makes a note of it; the man sits down) Thank you. Anyway I did. Man: You most certainly did not. Mr Vibrating: Now, let's get one thing quite clear... I most definitely told you! Man: You did not. Mr Vibrating: Yes I did. Man: You did not. Mr Vibrating: Yes I did. Man: Didn't. Mr Vibrating: Yes I did. Man: Didn't. Mr Vibrating: Yes I did!! Man: Look this isn't an argument. Mr Vibrating: Yes it is. Man: No it isn't, it's just contradiction. Mr Vibrating: No it isn't. Man: Yes it is. Mr Vibrating: It is not. Man: It is. You just contradicted me. Mr Vibrating: No I didn't. Man: Ooh, you did! Mr Vibrating: No, no, no, no, no. Man: You did, just then. Mr Vibrating: No, nonsense! Man: Oh, look this is futile. Mr Vibrating: No it isn't. Man: I came here for a good argument. Mr Vibrating: No you didn't, you came here for an argument. Man: Well, an argument's not the same as contradiction. Mr Vibrating: It can be. Man: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a definite proposition. Mr Vibrating: No it isn't. Man: Yes it is. It isn't just contradiction. Mr Vibrating: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position. Man: But it isn't just saying "No it isn't". Mr Vibrating: Yes it is. Man: No it isn't, an argument is an intellectual process... contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says. Mr Vibrating: No it isn't. Man: Yes it is. Mr Vibrating: Not at all. Man: Now look! Mr Vibrating:(pressing the bell on his desk) Thank you, good morning. Man: What? Mr Vibrating: That's it. Good morning. Man: But I was just getting interested. Mr Vibrating: Sorry the five minutes is up. Man: That was never five minutes just now! Mr Vibrating: I'm afraid it was. Man: No it wasn't. Mr Vibrating: I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to argue any more. Man: What!? Mr Vibrating: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes. Man: But that was never five minutes just now... oh come on! (Vibrating looks round as though man was not there) This is ridiculous. Mr Vibrating: I'm very sorry, but I told you I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid. Man: Oh. All right. (pays) There you are. Mr Vibrating: Thank you. Man: Well? Mr Vibrating: Well what? Man: That was never five minutes just now. Mr Vibrating: I told you I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid. Man: I've just paid. Mr Vibrating: No you didn't. Man: I did! I did! I did! Mr Vibrating: No you didn't. Man: Look I don't want to argue about that. Mr Vibrating: Well I'm very sorry but you didn't pay. Man: Aha! Well if I didn't pay, why are you arguing... got you! Mr Vibrating: No you haven't. Man: Yes I have... if you're arguing I must have paid. Mr Vibrating: Not necessarily. I could be arguing in my spare time. Man: I've had enough of this. Mr Vibrating: No you haven't. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
