- Caste
I believe that the caste - the racial conflicts - are not so much religious or ethnic as political, social and economic conflicts.
Once inequalities in opportunity and status are removed , all concerned perceive not only the meaning but the need for division of labour based on talent - Guna) and occupation - Karma) that the caste system implied - and, though grudgingly, concede that these can even be inherited.
Ford's son is a Ford - the Queen's son is the future King.
The Fact that caste is termed Varna has no racial bearing.
The labourer who works in the sun most of the day is dark; the Kshatriya - warrior is ruddy; the sheltered Vaisya and Brahmin are light skinned - the austere Brahman becoming pale, and the rich Vaisya, rosy.
When you say that in the eyes of God there is no evil, how do you account for His incarnation to destroy evil?
God, being omniscient, knows our limitation and hence that we see evil. He comes to remove that - from our view.
Just as a Mother knows that a doll is not a child. But she knows, too, that her little daughter treats it as her baby, and so she gives her the doll.
- A twinge
I had a twinge in the shoulder blade for just a few minutes this morning, and I was admiring the wisdom of God - Who compels us to depend on one another, by pinching me where I cannot scratch myself.
- Evil Eye
You know the superstition "Do not show this ... jewel, etc. to the neighbour; his evil eye will spoil it".
It is only an indirect way of saying, "Do not show it to him; he will become jealous" - and indirectly you are also responsible.
Do not tempt others.
- God
Develop the feeling that you only have God to protect you.
Everything that happens and everyone that looks after you and everything that you have is God only, and is God's Will.
God comes in these forms to give us guidance and comfort.
- Contol
You have control over nature?
Yes? Then you are sitting on a bomb!
Even a madman throwing a cigarette stub can blow you!
Modern civilisation has given enormous power to Man - power without restraint.
Like a motorcar with an excellent accelerator but without brakes and steering.
