namaskar,
the upanishad talks about the tree having
'consciousness', while science discovered that trees have 'life'. is
'consciousness' in the bhashya equivalent to what science calls 'life'
?
of course, who knows, trees may also possess consciousness, maybe in a
cruder form as compared to us humans. only some light has been thrown
on the
softer problems about consciousness, but answer to the hard one still
evades
science.
kindly correct me wherever wrong. would be glad to hear comments on the
topic.
best regards,
pranav

subject: [advaita-l] regarding conduct of swamijis

dear people,
my pranams to all of you.
some mails are being circulated which is telling about the conduct of
swamijis etc.
i would like to say that we should be clear about what we want from
swamijis. whether he moves only with the priests or brahmins or some
other people is totally irrelevant.our only goal should be that of unity
with our true self.
after all what we want from swamijis is the grace and blessing hence
we need not break our head thinking about their daily conduct towards
outside world.
i offer the words in this mail to the lotus feet of the divine mother
hari om
