Who created chaos?

A physician, an architect and a politician exchanged words endlessly to prove shoe profession was the oldest. The shrewd politician suggested that each of them should cite proof to establish his claim.

The physician said; “Eve was created out of Adams’s rib. It was a case of surgical operation, Hence my profession is the oldest.”

The architect told. “Before the surgical operation, there was chaos, order was created out of chaos. And that was the task of an architect. Hence, my profession was the oldest. “

The politician quipped; Who created chaos? It was definitely the job of a politician. “

No misery for him

“Everyone remember God during misery, but forgets Him when there is prosperity. If one were to remember God during prosperity, there would be no misery for him”

Worship of Trees

Worship of Nature has been great phenomenon of Hindu religion from ancient times. Among the objects of Nature worshipped trees are the foremost Nature has given the Hindus a umber of trees considered sacred or holy. They are the largest of all living things and one of the oldest on earth.

In foreign countries also, trees are held in high esteem e.g in America, thee is the ‘cow-tree’. Its sap is used as milk. In ancient India, trees gave the rishis peace, beauty, happiness and seclusion. So they liked to stay in forests

Without trees our world would not be fit place for human beings, animals etc, to live in . Many diseases will continued by exist. For the medical profession would not be able to get quinine and strychnine. Our wild life would not find shelter anywhere.

The twigs of the tree are uses in sacrificial fires. The milky juice possesses medicinal value.

Without performing proper religious ceremonies, trees should not be cut down in villages, quarrels arise if a tree is felled without the consent of the people.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Karma, Knowledge, and Liberation

Here, for the sake of distinguishing between knowledge and karma (i.e. scriptural rites and duties) we enter into a consideration of the question as to whether the supreme goal (emancipation) results from karmas alone, or from karmas, added by knowledge, or from karmas and knowledge in combination, or from knowledge aided by karmas, or from knowledge alone.

First opponent. As to that, the supreme goal must be the result of Karmas alone , since a man who is versed in the full import of the Vedas is competent for karmas, in accordance with the Smriti. The Vedas, together with their secret , are to the mastered by the twice-born.  And the mastery must be along with the purport of the Upanishads, which consists in the knowledge of the edge performs a sacrifice, The knowing man gets the sacrifice performed, it shown everywhere that a man of knowledge alone has competence for karma And there is the further text, After knowing, follows the practice Some people verily consider that the Vedas. as a whole, are meant for karma. Now, if the supreme goal be unattainable through karma, the Vedas will become useless

Answer, No, for freedom is a permanent entity. That freedom is eternal is surely an admitted fact. It is a matter of common experience that anything that is produced by action is impermanent. Should liberation be a result of action? It will be transitory; and this is undesirable, since it contradicts the logically justifiable Vedic text. ‘As in this world the result acquired through action gets exhausted, in the very same way the result acquired through virtue gets exhausted in the other world.

IF HE EXIST

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting seven precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting seven minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste seven minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.
