POST 2 - decisions based on, & balanced by, "dharma" or righteousness
First use your common sense, then your discrimination, otherwise meditate within for 20 minutes for the intuition/solution to your problems....and then hand over the fruits of action to Providence.
Thus, another idea is to share the various mystic & spiritual teaching with some discrimination...?!.. ie. not too literally but "in context" (ie. fundamental discrimination) to avoid getting in a guilt trap and going "dharma-crazy"!
COUPLE OF TRADITIONAL HINDU EXAMPLES:-
1. "Love All Serve All" ..... if taken too literally= dharma-crazy!... BUT
+ Discrimination =
maybe better understood that it is not possible to love all and serve all BUT one can Love All for God's sake & Serve All in God's Name
2. "Matha, Pitha, Guru, Devam" .... (ie.service to mother then father then teacher lastly God) ... if taken too literally ... and your parents need a psychiatrist = dharma-crazy!... BUT
+ Discrimination =
your real mother is Love, your real father is Truth, your real brothers are devotees, your real friends are yogis, your real son is Wisdom and your real daughter is Peace.
And that ... Duty with Love is desirable, Duty without Love is deplorable and Love without Duty is Divine.
So unless these attachments are dealt with discrimination, they can lead to another symptom of Dharma-crazy!... burdened with too much guilt and responsibility when all one can perhaps can do is pray for them?!
So another idea for the blog is to develop quoations of various religious, mystic or spiritual teachings but with contributions for multiple interpretations from different faiths and perspectives for a holistic tolerance and integration of view points
