Theos-Talk Archives (November 2008 Message tt00231)

Anand,

You wrote once on Theos-Talk:

----------------------------------------------------------
St. Jnaneshwar writes in it that it is sin to consider ourselves
separate from God. He wrote that God is the only one who exists, all
forms which we see with senses are maya or illusion.
----------------------------------------------------------

Isn't the CORE IDEA that you say Jnaneshwar taught, isn't this the
same core idea given in these quotes from THE MAHATMA LETTERS:

------------------------------------------------------------
Pantheistic we may be called -- agnostic NEVER. If people are willing
to accept and to regard as God our ONE LIFE immutable and unconscious
in its eternity they may do so and thus keep to one more gigantic
misnomer. But then they will have to say with Spinoza that there is
not and that we cannot conceive any other substance than God. . . .

. . . according to Mr. Massey's philosophical conclusion we have no
God....He is right -- since he applies the name to an extra- cosmic
anomaly, and that we, knowing nothing of the latter, find --
each man his God -- within himself in his own personal, and at the
same time, -- impersonal Avalokiteswara. . . .

. . . We are not Adwaitees, but our teaching respecting the one life
is identical with that of the Adwaitee with regard to Parabrahm. And
no true philosophically trained Adwaitee will ever call himself an
agnostic, for he knows that he is Parabrahm and identical in every
respect with the universal life and soul -- the macrocosm is the
microcosm and he knows that there is no God apart from himself, no
creator as no being....
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Anand, I again ask you:

Isn't the CORE IDEA that you say Jnaneshwar taught, isn't this the
same core idea given in these quotes from THE MAHATMA LETTERS?????

If you think the Jnanaeshwar's teaching as given by you is DIFFERENT
than the teaching of the Masters as given in the quotes I gave, then
please tell us that and then tell us HOW Jananeshwar's teaching is
different from the Masters.

Can you do this???

Hoping you will try....

Daniel
