- Reincarnation
Does man believe in it because he is not prepared to face personal extinction?
No, man's reluctance to accept death is not the cause of, but is a sign of his everlasting Life.
He is immortal. He refuses to believe he will die.
A woman cannot be convinced she is a man - not because she does not want to accept it, but because she is not!
- I made a mistake
It would be a mistake not to make it if it was necessary.
I realised that it would be a mistake if I did not realise it was a mistake.
Relax! All is well.
- Sometimes Good, Sometimes Evil
God is infinitely good.
But we can appreciate it only from the Infinite point of view.
When we look at His will from the finite human standpoint, it looks sometimes good, sometimes evil!
- Dis-interestedness
Interest means "a profit which we desire, but do not deserve" - as when a usurer charges interest on a loan.
We should avoid this profit motive.
- Namesake
This word has perhaps originated in an expression like this: 'Please help him (someone who has your own name) at least for his name's sake.'
The help part of it has dropped in course of time and the two words have become one.
