- Christian Trinity
Father - Iswara.
Son - "I' (Jiva)
Holy Ghost - Atman in which the Jiva realises His identity with Brahman.
Hence "I and my Father are one" and "He who sees the Son has seen the Father."
This can be translated as "Aham (son), Atma (Holy Ghost), Brahma (Father) - or the Son is one with the Father through the Holy Ghost.
- Ahimsa
Non-injury in Thought, Word and Deed.
Hinduism is built on the basis of Ahimsa.
But, if you are about to perish of hunger for want of any other food, in order to preserve the precious human life, you are allowed to eat flesh.
In order to make sure of this aim, you are warned that if the human birth is not directed towards Self-realisation, it is death - life not worth preserving.
- Reward
Do not look for external differences between a saint and a layman.
It is the inner attitude that counts.
The worldly man is attached to the action and expects reward.
The saint? He is unattached and expects no reward for his service.
- Self-Justification
Self-justification is one of the worst of evils and perhaps the greatest of our obstacles.
Even Rogue Ratnakar justified his actions!
And, there is nothing that can save us from that evil as Guru-seva or surrender to the Guru can.
When Ratnakar surrendered himself to the Maharishi, he "saw" the truth about the world and, eventually, God.
- Body
The body is perishable; it can be preserved in health if through it we can gain the imperishable wisdom.
