- Elderly
It will do no harm to children to have to exercise compassion and patience with elderly people.
Spiritually it will teach them a great deal.
- Heredity
Here is Weismann's theory of "continuity of germ plasm".
The original germ-cell splits into two; one half gradually develops itself into the body of a plant or animal - this is the Lumah-cell; the other half remains encased in the body, practically unchanged, and is transmitted in the process of reproduction to the offspring, that is, the germ-plasm.
Now, this germ-plasm is unbroken through the whole line of propagation.
- Indian Scriptures
Indian scriptures provide variety, present spiritual truths in a variety of colourful ways.
In the Ramayana, God is Man.
In Mahabharata, Krishna is statesman or superman.
In Bhagavata, Krishna is super divine, God.
- First Karma
The first Karma was the jiva's - soul's choice.
Why did one Jiva choose Satva - purity, Rajas - restlessness, or Tamas - dark inertia.
Why is absurd, for here we are not dealing with metaphysics but "history".
Why did Adam disregard God's command and eat the apple?
The question is absurd. That he did is fact, an event in history.
- Degree
Read these two statements together - "Before Abraham was, I am." - " What I have done, ye can do."
The difference between Jesus and you is not one of nature, but of degree of perfection.
Even you were before Abraham - you were not created after your parents decided to have a baby!
