Point of Human Experience
If the final goal of spirituality is to relinquish the world as illusion, then the logical conclusion of all humanity coming into the Kingdom, would be the end of humanity. What’s the point of the human experience? To say that it’s something we need/have as spiritual beings doesn’t make any sense.
Yoga Belongs to All of Us
Although Prof. Aseem Shukla has got the bit between his teeth, I doubt that there’s much enthusiasm for his ideas. If there is a movement to return yoga to its Hindu roots, it speaks in a whisper. I’ve never encountered it in India. Having loaded his quiver, what target is Shukla firing at? Nobody is stopping Hindus from claiming yoga as their own. Christians can claim prayer as their invention if they want to. It wouldn’t make the claim less false — sensible people accept that prayer is universal. (more…)

Corruption of the Body and Soul
For some time, something has been intriguing me and I am sure that you will be able to clarify this for me. I have come to believe that we are all spiritual beings with an occasional human experience. Then it must also be the case that the very basic nature of ‘soul’ is spiritual in nature. We also know that we (‘souls’) have found a place in this material body for our journeys through the time and space. Our body is merely a reflection of our soul and is governed (all its actions) by the very nature of the soul. So my question is that why when the basic nature of soul is spiritual, some ‘bodies’ do the worst things imaginable (the things that are unacceptable in the general society such as violence against other humans etc). Does that imply that those very ‘spiritual’ souls have been corrupted – here I am thinking that the soul is and will always be spiritual. I think that the body (symptom) cannot be corrupted by the source (originator or the soul). I am failing to connect the dots here. Who and What is then corrupting the soul (if in-fact it has been corrupted). Please advise.
