Dear Nos:

Please review the BHAGAVAD GITA -- there is no "moment of
silence" that descended on Krishna the Teacher, as I read it. I
believe you will find that amore accurate statement depicts that
it was Arjuna, the pupil, who was momentarily stunned in Chapter
11, when he was shown (by the temporary gift of the DIVINE
EYE) -- the vision of the UNIVERSAL FORM of Krishna the
Avatara -- SUPREMELY WISE MAN --

This Universal vision, as I understand it, is a symbol of the
UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD OF ALL BEINGS.

We can all claim the ONE SPIRIT of the UNIVERSE as the common and
single source of our being, and, of our intimate and eternal
relationship with humanity and everything else.

Only those who tenaciously adhere to the notion of the
separateness of the personality (plunged in the delusions of
matter and its limitations) view their present independence as an
accident, a "bit of luck," and not as an essentiality -- and they
cannot account for their own uniqueness, or their future when
this life ceases.

But the BHAGAVAD GITA and theosophy does do exactly that. And
that is one of the reasons that it is important. If you read and
study the KEY TO THEOSOPHY (HPB) you will find how it is there
explained that the cooperative nature and the cohesion of all
aspects of the Universe, our would and our physical forms are
analogous, and have for center the Perceptive faculty (a "Ray of
the One Spirit") around which all their nature is aggregated.

Krishna was depicted as the god incarnate in EVERYTHING including
the highest essence of Arjuna ( see Chapter 10 description:
"Among the Pandava, I am Arjuna..." )

The BHAGAVAD GITA depicts the effort of the pupil (Arjuna) who
seeks to know ism own INNER and HIGHER SELF -- the ATMAN within.
Krishna is one who has achieved this and assists him is
self-discovery.

It is a most interesting and helpful treatise on the psychology
of all human beings.

Best wishes,

Dallas

What did Krishna do in that moment of silence that descended him
upon
during his battle?

And maybe I'm missing something but the conversation started with
a talk
on moral equivalence - now you're telling me MY world is the
simplistic
B&W one....lol...follow the thread dude.


New, old, same.

On the contrary Nos, the world Michele describes is the
complex world of living color. It is the world in which we
act. Your world of 'Why didn't we' , why don't we', and 'how
dare we' is the simple world of black and white. You fool
yourself when you look at the world through rose colored
glasses and convince yourself that the color you see is not
distorted.

No matter when we move to eradicate terrorism, you will ask why
we didn't move earlier. No matter what we do, you will
criticize our motives. Nos, we are selfish - same as you.
Can you deny your selfish motives, even in these discussions?
Do you hold us to a higher standard than you hold yourself?
The question in the end is who will win - the selfish US who
has historically raised the bar of freedom for one
disenfranchised group after another - or those selfish others
who continue to repress and/or attack every group that is not
them.

Not one standard,
Bill
