There
has been a lot of this lately and most often, people will just copypaste and run.
However and that being said, there are forum rules also against this and need to be pointed out to staff to prevent one-sided arguments which consist of nothing more than walls of text (bonus points if you can provide the source of plagiarised material).
There is a great example I will share about all this to illustrate how ludicrous it all is.
Yes, I am a Hindu and I use that terminology and reference because I can relate well on
that level, whereas a non-Hindu may find it very difficult.
Even though I am open to new ideas, I am not open to totally dropping what I believe in, what has served me well just because another's view serves
them and they believe it will serve me too.
I am totally tolerant and open, but not at the expense of betraying my core...my own heart and if a person, for example says "stop loving Shiva and love Jesus instead" that would be something I have no conscious control over...it would be like telling the sun not to shine.
Having said that, not only am I a devotee of Shiva, but I'm what's also called an Advaita Vedantin which means that I am a also a non-dualist.
The term Advaita means 'non-duality' and yet, some in the school classify Advaita into Neo-Advaita and Traditional Advaita which is, of course duality. lol
I've argued about it, but there's no point.
There is a big secret...everything IS subjective
until the time we physically die...and then Karma will decide who is going to be up for another ride on the 'squidgy human train' and who's going to jump off at 'Moksha station' and only the Divine knows it...so all one can do is say "yep...whatever...we'll see what Yama has to say about all your 'beliefs' when that time comes".
