- Organ
Spiritual organisation is absurd.
By its very nature, the it is organless.
When you beat it into the shape of organs, the spirit is dead matter.
- Caste
Varna and Ashrama were like the warp and woof of cloth - one cannot stand without the other.
If Varna divided society, Ashrama united members of different castes who were all the same evolutionary level.
It removed the caste-stigma, while preserving the healthy features.
- Punishment
In the Puranas we hear God punishes.
He lovingly restrains us from further sin.
The sinful hand is paralysed - the sinful tongue has cancer - the evil eye is blinded!
Wisdom and worry do not go together!
If your wisdom cannot guide you, what is it?
- Guru and disciple
To tune in, you have to be of the same nature. Only if you are of the same nature as the Guru, will you receive His Grace.
As in -
(1) water mingles with water because of sameness of nature (perfect yogi)
(2) milk partly mingles with water, though partly retains its individuality (first class spiritual aspirant = sattvic)
(3) honey mingles with water after a lot of heating (the rajasic aspirant, who strives hard through service to become one with the Guru)
(4) stone will never mix with water - it is of entirely different nature (tamasic type of worldly man).
- An Absurd Ideal
Consciously cultivate godly nature by learning to say things like "God's Grace", "This is God's Will", and become aware of God more and more.
Ultimately as a whole, what all this is, we shall never know, because we are part of the part, and have no means of objectifying the whole - which is an absurd ideal.
