unbothered. moisturized. happy. in my lane. focused. flourishing.

grrrrrr.... cloudflare make me mad!!! georgia smash!!!

@nerthos @anemone @lizzie and God being exempt from dharma isnt a paradox. all unattached free beings are exempt from dharma.

@nerthos @lizzie @anemone I'm not a pantheist I'm a panentheist. God doesnt have humanlike thoughts. the mind is just a faculty like the senses, when you go beyond mind, intellect, and ego, there is Brahman.

yea baby

@nerthos @lizzie @anemone I see them both as being true and important. when Brahman is called "sat" that means that God is eternal truth, existence, and goodness. of course nothing truly exists but the good! yet, Brahman is also called "asat", but this means that Brahman is both being and non-being, and collapses/transcends the dual of both

nighttime potato time?

@lizzie @anemone @nerthos I very much agree that dharma is divine, little p perfect, but perfect in the "perfect example of what it is" way that a saint can be perfected, not Perfect like God who is the absolute truth, all encompassing and infinite beyond all fathoming is. its a basic hindu tenet at least as far as I know that while God upholds dharma He/She is totally above it. So God may lie for instance in a place where a human can't (like to an evil person for the purpose of delivering the fruit of that persons karma, or to a good person with a greater plan in mind), not just because sin can't touch God who is unattached and harbors no malice, but because God is genuinely Good beyond the pre/proscriptions of dharma. for instance its pretty obvious that while God can kill a child with an infectious disease based on that child's karma, a human who is not Perfect and unattached like God cannot infect a child with a disease like God can while incurring no sin. its more than it being Gods station to kill as He/She sees fit, God is genuinely transcendently Good beyond common notions of good and evil. God is also nirguna (without the human notions of attributes) but thats another can of worms. its so hard to describe that thing from which all words turn back...

@lizzie @anemone @nerthos what that mean

@Lux even if I'm pure evil inside I dont act evil in my discoursing with others. you, on the contrary, are quick to judge and quicker to anger.

@nerthos @anemone this is true for the Supreme Lord who is above dharma and adharma and all human laws and proscriptions, but the devas follow dharma like the dharma humans are meant to follow or they wouldnt be devas. manifestations of the divine, devas or amsas/kalas, that appear fearsome or disgusting are actually quite beautiful and benign to the eye and heart of a yogi.

@nerthos @anemone sometimes agree with the latter but not the former. if the lofty station of deva (or even lower celestials like gandharvas) were not higher than a human in almost every way, these beings would not be given such power and would not be worthy of sacrifices and other worship.

@Lux nah its beneath me

I havent told anyone on fedi except pedophiles to kill themselves or die in years. honestly its a defect in character

@Lux @technicallydifficult you claim to support the palestinians who are mostly muslim yet you dont give a shit about the Islamic terms and concepts we are discussing. bro you just hate jews.

@georgia @anemone + a lot of the times worship of capricious gods end up being transactional and transactionality is a feature of the fall imo

@lizzie @anemone yes the mimamsakans were criticized for their reward-seeking rituals. its not highest dharma thats for sure.

@lizzie @anemone so true bestie
