Revenge is mine. My revenge is not to kill them, but to kill their ignorance. My most powerful weapon is infinite love. If you love me I will allow myself to be loved by you so that at last you find that you loved yourself by loving me. Similarly if you deceive me I will allow myself to be deceived by you, and at last you will find that you deceived http://dattaji-dattaswami.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-am-killed-by-my-children-on-cross.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dattaji)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490464442207634677.post-3314144108283241916Wed, 22 Dec 2010 14:30:00 +00002010-12-22T07:30:27.104-08:00Q1) The Bible (Matthew 19:12) says regarding becoming a eunuch (napuMsaka) for the sake of the kingdom of heaven “He that is able to receive it, let him receive it”. Does it mean that anyone who feels capable of remaining a celibate (brahmachari) for the sake of God should become one? A. The word eunuch means the removal of male egoism.

I see so many people who are having so-called "casual sex" even if they are already in a relationship. Free sex is not correct, because we are making an oath before God; we [husband and wife] should be loyal to each other. Jesus condemns this and Quran also condemns. All the other religions also condemn this.

Such a contention is meaningless because it virtually amounts to a nice sleep only. These people further misinterpret that such a meditation is concentration on formless God (Nirakara).

Sex is a biological need of the body like hunger and thirst. It is a biological issue at physical level because, when the food is taken, a part of it is supplied to the reproductive system, by which, it gives signals in the form of sexual desire for the growth of human race on http://dattaji-dattaswami.blogspot.com/2010/12/sex-homosexuality-spirituality.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dattaji)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490464442207634677.post-102102465234338470Sun, 12 Dec 2010 23:13:00 +00002010-12-12T15:23:37.136-08:00Marriage is for reproduction or generation of issues.

Realize that God is both the existent and non-existent items. Then you will realize that God exists”. This hymn needs an elaborate analytical explanation. You can bring another Vedic statement here (Tat Srushtvaa…, Satcha Tyat Chaabhavat…).
