mahmood mahmood

At another time, I would have taken you apart piece by piece. If god, allah, bhagwan, and hanuman will it, one day I still might. Right now I will only say, go in peace, mahmood mahmood. You will not change. Those of my friends who are waiting for you to understand and learn would unfortunately die first.

It is enough if at least some indic persons understand that 'evil' is not represented by my friend zee (who for all his reputation is ultimately a well-intentioned honest man) but by mahmood mahmood and his types.

Re: # 258 " remember a saying of a Hindu Jogi that in Muslims their contact with Supreme Being is usually at that level where we reach after tappasiya of 40 years! "


Now I understand why Ekalavya is margianly upset?

Thank you Maha_Pari for enlightening us. I have learnt a lot today.

Mahmood sahib,

(I remember a saying of a Hindu Jogi that in Muslims their contact with Supreme Being is usually at that level where we reach after tappasiya of 40 years!)

Verily, the Muslims are truly blessed!!!

Regards

Re: # 260 you failed to take a objective view of reality and compared things mere to argue for the sake of argument! I quoted reference fro his monotheism, have you any evidence to refute this? come out in open!

and try to respect difference of opinion.

Inqurier bhai, I wonder what mahfari's interest is for. It surely is not for understanding things as they are.

I bleed tears of blood being told that The Buddha was a monotheist.

At this rate, some of us will have to start preaching that Prophet Muhammd was a worshipper of shiva, and allah one of the gandharvas of arabia.

That's interest-taking, but not the interest-taking that mahfair bhai would appreciate.

We really need put an end to this kind of crap. There is no problem is staying ignorant. One doesn't need to know everything.

Re: # 214: Eklavya ji, Mahmoud is a muslim so it is creditable that he takes interest in Buddhist things. You are being a bit harsh about the content desired.

Re: # 255 thx. All sages and great minds reach on same conclusions , may be process and techniques are different, but they definitely reach at certain point o unity. I remember a saying of a Hindu Jogi that in Muslims their contact with Supreme Being is usually at that level where we reach after tappasiya of 40 years! So these are paths which lead to Ultimate Reality, the struggle is all for HIM whther by denying him or accepting HIM. He is the ONLY ONE!

Re: # 256 It is not dichotomy, think deeper, they make us to thinbk freely and liberate us from meaningless. It is not dichotomy as now no one claim that follow me as iam of divine Origins, now the message is important, the mental maturity of human beings is complete , now the evolutionary process of thinking is not marred by any NEW DIVINE intervention, it is as vast as our imagination can move,. The question of having some basic axioms as all the knolwdges have, take eample of why a trianglle has 180 degrees a circle 360 degrees ? Why they can not be otherwise. There are always certain axioms in all the fields which take us forward.

As to dichotomy, our knowledge is till that aspect , Dual nature of Particle and Hesienberg's principle of uncertainity is case in point.Freedom flows from understanding our limits.

Re: # 237

Mahfari sahib:

I am very familiar with Rumi's elephant story and his quotes. I had found a lot of similarity between his sayings and gita.

He also said in the elephant story we only are limited by our knowledge, as each of these guys who touched the elephant were. Yes, you are correct that is how concepts evolve. I agree.

Re: # 251 "I remmebr gandhi Ji;s saying taht science is a sharp razor in the hands of baby! So who gave this razor to the baby? now this is least important , now issue is how to save the baby, then discuss who gave it so that it does not happen again"

Precisely....agree with you there.

as an aside tell me, your understanding, why is there a big fracas over Iraq and Iran getting the nukes?

Will check the board out later...see you in a few mos.....

Re: # 250 you are trying to mix the channel and mesage as said in modern Communication studies, the level of person who delievers message especially which has moral and real implications becomes very important . I remmebr gandhi Ji;s saying taht science is a sharp razor in the hands of baby! So who gave this razor to the baby? now this is least important , now issue is how to save the baby, then discuss who gave it so that it does not happen again. If we say no it is process let the baby die... then htere is a great great issue which needs to be tackled!

Re: # 248 you need to dig a bit more deeper than that.

Yes, vested interests is a starting point. However, it is the definition of "truth" and the ability to perhaps define "process" and "message" clearly which has resulted in the difference........
