But why do u want to have a new God? I mean I would like to know how this God is going to be different from the “religious god, the one in bible, quran, or most hindu books. “

Also since u seem to be speaking very confidently about religious books , can I know as to which of the Religious books that u are referring to / and have read completely.

This is also because since u have asked me to read about your “what is God” I would like to know the source of ur knowledge.

I ve heard a lot of people talking of their own without much base to what is being said . And as u would be aware, most things which are not authority either by it self, or by quoting an authority usually lacks depth.

Also I am not aware of what the God people have in mind. And any way I don’t let myself be bothered by what other people think of God.. .

I will surely read ur post one of these days.

There is an essential difference between “baksheesh” and extortion. The former is given in happiness the later is done against the giver’s will.

If bribe is to be condoned and considered as sinless - then what are these people getting their salaries for?

You are too simplistic in your theories first about bribing and then about corrupt politicians and have arrived at a theory that both are to be considered as “necessary evils”.

It shows up your immaturity.

I predict that Your next post will now be on how rape, child molestation etc is part of regular human behaviour and should also be condoned.

That is “contrarian theory”… contrary to what is CORRECT and obvious.

CAn u tell me what it is to “believe in the conventional sense”. I just would like to know. Seriously.

Becasue i havent heard of 2 or more kinds of beliefs.

But my exposure to the world is so little i wouldnt know how most people do most things.

Thanks for ur comment .

But let me tell u, I am no one to ” interpret” even a single sentence , much alone a verse written by the great Sage Vyasa , who is the author of Gita.

What i ve written is only a word to word meaning of that sloka.

Also i felt that u are a foreigner to “GITA”. . . not that it matters to me. Just thought so.

But i am glad that u could read at least one verse from there .

Unlike the Bible, Koran which are books mandatory to be read by the followers, Gita is not obligatory to be read by any Indian or anyone “claiming ” to be a Hindu.

But it is one which has stood the test of time . . .

No one knows for sure when it was written . . .

I see u ve put all the men under one heading and all the women under another heading….

I have yet to see two human beings who think in the same way about any one single subject. . . .

Of course u speak about what uve seen/ known . I ve said about what i ve seen/ known.

And if marriages are going smoothly it s because of a belief that relationships haven’t been de-railed because of outside relationships.

And that s why discretion is so important. It is the people talking that is the greatest hassle. A finger is pointed at the entire family . . .

When it is a man it is one family against the entire society .

When it is a woman it is usually the husband/children and the entire society against the woman.

And of course there are the cultural differences.
