Will You Have One More Date With The Satan? Just One More?

Dear Shanthi,

After a while you tend to sing along with Sankara who roared, na paavam na punyam, na saukyam na dhukam, na vedo na mantro na theerthaha.
There is no sin, no merit, no happiness no grief, no vedas, no mantras, no holy waters... (So goes his crisp Nirvana Shatgam)

I am still unable to accept Deivam Ninnu Kollum. How can a loving God, how can a God whose first name and last name is Love, kill? And that too wait for the right opportunity to kill mercilessly?
Not at all. If sin is ignorance, punishment for it is the wisdom to offset it. Some get that wisdom only by suffering the same type of pain they inflicted on others. For some, wisdom comes in a flash and all sins stop then and there.
God is not silly enough to punish the mind the body which did the sinful act. She wants to just bless us with the wisdom that we do not commit the sinful act again.

So in this context, there is and cannot be any preparation for Her coming. Nor can She come from anywhere as there is no place where She is not.
Love,

 

dear krips,

those were all profound statemens, kripa. Thanks for adding sheen to this Satanic Thread, (as you chose to call it in your message).

But, Kripa, there is a problem. We have all been hearing that God is within us. That God is all love. And a thousand goody goody statements about Her. But the problem is that these statements stay just that, statements. Sometimes these simple incidents make us understand the depth of the statement, or to put it better, experience at least a millionth part of the truth of these statements.
As our experience becomes deeper and deeper then we tend to stay in God for ever. That's what all the gnanis have done.
But right now let us not bother about that state as another piece of information. We will go on living our lives. May be the next nanosecond, or a billion lives later, we may realise Her presence. After all when time itself does not exist, where's the hurry, tell me.
love,
