  • Is "KNOW" the next stage of evolution ?

    In artificial intelligence we have the 4 parameters LEARN, SENSE, PLAN & ACT (REACT)

    Now the stars, planets, etc have only REACT. The next phase of evolution the plants & trees have SENSE & REACT. The next evolution till human have LEARN, SENSE, PLAN (from almost nil to not so strong) & REACT. It is only at human level we have all the four and also the PLAN part is getting stronger and stronger.

    Now if we see, then the ability is being shifted from external capability to mental capability. The mental growth / evolution is getting stronger and stronger.

    So what might be the next phase of mental evolution - Is it the KNOW part ? i.e. we will be able to see / feel / hear without being present physically ? Is it that I can read others mind ?

  • A body with mind can only have life or soul. What is your opinion ?

    The evolution has two major division. The evolution till earth (from simplest gas to complex stars & planets) had ingredients like the Space, the Fire (stars), the Air, the Water and the Earth. These became the placeholder for the next evolution - living creatures from the simplest and with the combination the most complex (like humans). The difference is the life and a mind of its own.

    So is mind the placeholder for soul ? i.e. without mind, body does not retain the soul ?

  • Hindus : Soul, being attribute-less, can it carry the karma charateristics to next body?

    Soul or "I" is supposed to be part of all pervading soul or "I" or God and is supposed to be attribute-less. Otherwise God Himself will be full of our karma characteristics. Then is it the soul (which is suppose to give us the life) the carrier of karma characteristics to next body ? or is it the mind, which retains the karma characteristic, carries the same to next body ?

    Please mention the philosophy (dvaita, vishita-advaita and advaita) of your answer.

    Question is for Hindus and people knowledgeable in Hinduism.

  • Is what Jesus preached, a mixture of Buddhism & Hinduism packaged in Judaism?

    Again a question for open minded and research oriented people.

    Considering the fact that so much is common with Buddhism and Hinduism (which is not so with Judaism) right from some of the rituals, phonetics, symbolic representation and also partially the highest knowledge (and the way it was proposed), is it possible that Jesus was influenced by these two philosophies which were influencing much of the world at that time ?

    Only intelligent, thought provoking and well researched answers are appreciated.

  • Two Wise Men from East & infant Jesus?

    Question for open minded & research oriented people.

    Did the story of Two Wise Men from East visiting infant Jesus was to prove greatness of Jesus to the people of that era ?

    Considering the greatness of India (the major Indian influence was till present day Iran) in terms of wisdom and spirituality recognised world over during that era, any reference of Indian wise men recognising and visiting infant Jesus would have assured the people of that era about the greatness of Jesus.

    Only intelligent and thoughtful answers are appreciated

  • Is Mind the seed or cause of this physical Universe ?

    It is said that the residual characteristics of the mind (ego, desire, anger, envy, hatred, etc) led to the churning of the unmanifested universe (in the form of energy) which ultimately resulted in this creation. Is this the future of the Science ?

    Interesting isn't it ?

  • What moved the energy which resulted in Big Bang?

    Think of this - energy (in form of force) moves physical bodies. But what moves energy ? Why I am asking ? Because the big bang is a result of concentrating huge energy to a singular point. What moved this huge energy ?

  • What prevents the muslims in non-islamic countries to campaign against "blasphemy" laws in Islamic countries ?

    Whereas they expect and / or allow the Islamic countries to comment on their country's policies vis-a-vis their status and activities.

    The blasphemy law is supposed to be a symbol of intolerance and setting inequality amongst the citizens. This law has been misused also by criminals as can be seen in Gojra, Pakistan.

    Doesn't it show the double standard of the Muslims ? Is it not that their religion is being seen in bad light by all others ? How is this law justified ?

  • In Hinduism how is the Karma transferred to next birth ?

    The soul being an observer only, is not a part of the karma. It does not go through birth - rebirth cycle. Only the physical entity goes through the birth - rebirth cycle till it attains moksha. Again as soul does not carry the signatures of karma to the next birth, what might be the entity which carries the karma to next birth ?

  • Do you still believe in Dravidian and Aryan story ?

    1.The recent DNA mapping does not show much variance.

    2. The discovery of the Indus valley civilization and Saraswati civilization debunked that theory.

    3. How come the nomadic hunters of central asia, who had to roam around for daily needs, had time for coming up with such great philosophies ?

    4. If an offshoot of the great civilization had come to India, where is the main civilization and where is the same or higher philosophy maintained or discovered ?
