If you can ask GOD one question, what would it be? if you don't believe in GOD then just pretend you do.

mine: What are the next super lotto numbers?

Isn't there a topic like this somewhere else?

yeah there is somewhere i think.

in the spirituality sec.

I would ask how to end all war, and world hunger!

I would ask God . . . "How's my Mom doing? Tell her I Love her and I miss her so much."

I would think really hard, then ask him...


'Was Eve buff?'

Is there an after life?

I would ask him what direction Im going right now (heaven or Hell)

I would ask him, "Why?"

Why is this world so chaotic, when you created it for a reason?

Well I'm an Eve and I say yes!!!!

I would say, why didn’t you make the apple tree in the garden of Eden a crap apple tree? No one likes crab apples.

Then ask him to remember to leave the key under the doormat, I might be late home.

Could you please nicely ask those religious Christian fanatics (and wannabes) to leave me alone?

God you are too nice and very patient with us. i thank you.

I love you

my question:

Why do you love us inspite of our attitudes?

the question would be to myself: why am i dreaming this silliness? (that there is some god to ask something of)

if it were to a god defined by others though, the question would not be so peaceful. I would ask it to meet me in battle (to the death). I do it not because i enjoy battle, but with the destruction of gods man can finally reach his potential.

mine would be: Say hellew to the family, tell em to drop in every once and a while, and dont touch any more of my peoples!

why...


why...


Why...


WHY WAS I BORN WITH ONLY 2 ARMS?1?1?1/1?!?!1?1? :>

I would ask him to cure my Grandmother's cancer.

Same here!

I'd just ask the obvious. What is the true meaning of life?

I was gonna say that too

I'll have to think of something else now............

Ah! I Know! "Prove you exist" And since, as Douglas Adams points out, proof denies faith and without faith God is nothing, this will cause God to cease to exist......

What would love do now??? Namaste Sheri

I WOULD ASK

"YOUR FRREAKIN KIDDING RIGHT???"

If he was real and all knowing he would know what you were going to ask before you did!

dont know if this has been said before but i would ask him. who created you and who do you worship?

now let me be the smart aleck one here.


since God is omniscient (all knowing), He would know all the answers to my questions before I asked them. So it would really be redundant.

but anyway...

mine:

how do clams reproduce? (i've been wondering this one for AGES.)

source

you have now been set free!

It would be hard to think of just one question to ask. And i'm sure hypetheticly if one could walk up and ask a question to god i bet i'd draw a blank or have a brain fart and stand there like a dork. But The question Why sums it all up perfectly. Why was i created, Whats the grand sceme of things, why does he/she take so long. And most importantly when can i come home.

I would ask him if there IS such a thing called reality.

Ho Hum

Whats stopping you asking him?

Spirituality , Secularism & Capitalism

Secularism really means that the same medicine is present in every cup and you can take the medicine present in all the cups with equal liking. Secularism also means that you can take the medicine from any cup and respect other cups with equality. But the present secularism has ended in a horrible sense by which the medicine is not taken at all from a single cup or all cups. Such sense is misunderstood or misinterpreted secularism. Mahatma Gandhi prayed Eeshwara and Allah equally and that is the real secularism. But in the present secularism you neither pray Eeshwara nor Allah nor both with equality. Instead of such pseudo secularism, it is better not to have secularism at all. Let us like one cup only and take the medicine from that cup. It is better that India remains as a Hindu country and follow the spiritual knowledge of Hinduism sincerely. In the present false secularism, India neither takes the spiritual knowledge from Hinduism nor from any other religion. The government feels shy in uttering even the word God, which is above all the religions like the medicine, which is not related with any cup.

Even in the concept of economic equilibrium of the society, the spiritual knowledge gives the permanent solution. Capitalism is one extreme end and Naxalism is another extreme end. In between these two lie the socialism and communism. Capitalism grows industries by the help of a few rich people and by this several poor people earn their livelihood. Naxalism takes away the concentrated wealth of this few rich people and distributes it among the poor people by force. Socialism and communism try to achieve the same result of Naxalism without force. But these systems have not given permanent solutions. Duryodhana robbed the wealth of Pandavas. Dharmaraja requested Duryodhan to give at least a little kingdom and he was like the socialism. The other Pandavas threatened Duryodhan regarding the consequences of war like communism. Draupadi was highly emotional to kill Duryodhana on the spot like a Naxalist. But all these were controlled and guided by Lord Krishna who is the Lord in human form. When Krishna went to Kauravas, He requested like socialism, threatened like communism and showed His readiness to kill them through the vision of Viswaroopam like Naxalism. Therefore the decision of the ultimate divine government is final and when the right time comes the Lord Himself will become the Naxalist. In such case the present Naxalists are not necessary like Arjuna. Therefore all the people should act under the guidance of a spiritual preacher like Lord Krishna.

In fact Lord Krishna is the real capitalist who is the actual owner of this entire creation. Thus the spiritual knowledge can alone bring the real solution since the Lord is the ultimate authority. Dhrutarashtra who represents the human government supported Duryodhana. But Lord Krishna who was the ultimate government destroyed still Duryodhana. The capitalist tries to find out new ways to hide his wealth, when his wealth is forcibly taken away. Some times the capitalists are discouraged and do not apply their talent to grow the industrialisation. All these paths fail because they beat around the bush. The spiritual knowledge directly hits the bird in the bush. The spiritual knowledge emphasises the unreality of these worldly bonds. These family members were not related in the previous births and will not be related in the future births. Therefore these family bonds are present in this birth only and therefore they are temporary. Any thing that is temporary is always unreal (Yadanityam tat krutakam—Sankara), (Nasato—Gita). The dramatic bond, which is unreal before and after the drama is also unreal during the drama. All the human beings, weather they are your family members or outsiders are having the only relationship with you that is that they are your co-actors. You are cheating an outsider and rob his wealth for the sake of your family members. Both outsiders and the family members are equally related to you as the co-actors only. Why do you cheat one co-actor and favour another co-actor and earn sin? Your family members will not share your sin. They have not asked you to steal the wealth of others and feed them by it. This was the answer given by the family members of Valmiki, who was a robber. One day he tried to rob the sage Narada. Narada told him to go to his family members and put this question. Lord Krishna started Gita with the analysis of self.

All the family members are related to this gross body only in which the blood flows. The self, He referred in the second chapter of the Gita relates to the casual body along with its subtle body. When you fix the word “I” to the casual body along with the subtle body, all the relationships with the gross body vanish. The Lord compared the gross body to the external garment. This again reveals the unreality of the dramatic bonds that exist with these family members. Such divine spiritual knowledge can only transform the rich people and the solution for economic equilibrium becomes permanent. If you appeal a rich man to follow the economic justice without removing his blind family attractions, it is like reducing the temperature by applying ice on the body without killing the bacteria, which are responsible for the fever. Even the realisation of the unreality of these family bonds cannot make him active to continue with his work so that the poor people can be fed. He may become inactive because the ultimate goal is not clear even if he finds all the human beings equally related. The concept of existence of God and that He is pleased when you work actively with a broad view treating all the human beings equal should exist. Thus by following the path of justice and rejecting the injustice one can please the Lord. Pleasing the Lord gives the encouragement. Without this concept the practice of justice becomes dry and useless. This may gradually lead to the practice of injustice also. Thus the kingdom of atheists without God finally ends in the injustice. The atheist will not recognise the underlying divine government. He only accepts the visible human government that established courts and police as executive system for implementing the punishments given by court. Now the atheist will think that if he can mislead the court by false witness and intellectual advocates, he need not fear for the injustice, which gives more enjoyment by accumulation of wealth. He does not fear for God or hell. He fears only for courts and police and knows how to manage them. At present the pseudo secularism is almost like atheism.

In atheism you deny the God and in pseudo secularism you forget the God. Both are one and the same as far as the final effect is concerned. The atheist often argues to show the hell and heaven but I ask him one question, “Have you shown me the entire space of this cosmos and it’s boundaries to show the absence of the hell and heaven”? Of course my question also ends with 50% probability for both existence and non-existence of the hell. But if you practice the path of justice there is no harm to you even if the hell is absent. But if there is hell and if you do not follow the path of justice you are harmed severely (Nanyadasteeti—Gita). Thus the present system of pseudo secularism or atheism is a total failure because the divine government is not recognised properly. Even when we conduct the Independence Day celebrations we are neglecting the recognition of the help of the Lord in achieving the independence. Mahatma Gandhi achieved the independence with the grace of Lord Rama and he was always chanting that divine name. Remembering the fighters for independence without the Lord is like praising the Pandavas for the victory in the war without mentioning the name of Lord Krishna. When Jesus was mentioning about the kingdom of God, a fighter for the independence of the Jews from Roman-rule misunderstood that the new kingdom meant the independence of Jews. He approached Jesus for the assistance in such fight. Jesus clarified him and the new kingdom was meant for the revelation of the invisible divine kingdom. When that ultimate government sanctions, anything happens in this world. Thus in every walk of life, the Lord is neglected and forgotten. People think that praising the Lord is an individual activity and not a public activity. The divine atmosphere is not created in the public offices so that people forget God in the public places where their activities are important. Remembering God at the home only is not affecting their activities because in the home, they become inactive and take rest. Thus you have to extend the spiritual atmosphere in every inch of the earth to remind the government of God that is functioning everywhere and always. I was very much pleased to find the printed statement on the dollar note, which says, “In God, we trust”. On the currency notes, the familiar pictures of God should be printed, which remind the divine administration. The pictures of the heads of human government and other natural scenes should be avoided.

There are so many...

Why was I born the way I was?

Why did I have to go through all the stuff I went through because of the way I was born?

Why did my grandmother have to die the way she did?

Why did my sister act the way she did?

Why did my grandfather act the way he did and what was wrong with him?

Why was my son premature?

Why did my sister lose her baby?

Why do people do the horrible things they do?

What was the point of this hurricane?

What is the purpose of my life?

Will I ever have another child?

Why did what happen (Not gonna tell on this one. LOL) HAPPEN?



So, uh...yeah. Mainly WHY????!!!! With a few whats.

Dear Mary,

You are getting everything according to your present deeds and also the past deeds. The Lord has arranged the cycles of your births. In each cycle happiness and misery are alternatively arranged leaving the sequence of good and bad deeds. Even if you have done two sins subsequently the fruits of the two sins are not given to you subsequently. The result of a good deed is penetrated in between these two sins. Like this the Lord has arranged all your life cycles at present and in the future. If you are pestering Him, He will bring the result of good deed from the future cycle to the present cycle as a pre-matured fixed deposit with reduced value. By such interference your future life cycles will be filled with misery. Then you will scold the Lord crying “Oh! Lord you have given me misery from birth to death”. You don’t remember your foolish interference in the past birth.

The other way is that the Lord in human form should transfer your sin on Him and should suffer for your sake. This path is possible only when you don’t aspire for this path and worship the Lord in human form by sacrificing all your bonds of the world. This is possible only for a true devotee who never wishes that the Lord should suffer for his or her sake. Such true devotee will be worshipping the Lord without aspiring anything in return. One has to understand the theory of Karma and the devotion towards Lord. The Lord suffers for the sins of His true devotees only who are really serving the Lord in practice by doing Karma Sanyasa (Sacrifice of work) and Karma Phala Tyaga (Sacrifice of the fruit of work) in His mission without aspiring anything in return. In such service even an Iota of desire should not be present even in any biological cell of the human being. This is called ‘NISHKAMA KARMA YOGA’ AS EMPHASIZED IN GITA.

At the Lotus feet of Datta Swami

um.....yeah.

I am not even going to pretend that I understand ANY of that. LOL!!

I am sorry but it makes no sense to me and I am almost sure I dont believe that stuff anyway.

But....thanks for your input.


Oh, but let me say that having another child has nothing to do with "why did what happen....happen?"

My son was born premature but he is fine now. He was a month and a half early, had to be induced due to severe pre-eclampsia. He was 3 and a half pounds when he was born...spent a month in the NICU. It as been 6 years. And I am wanting another child really bad. But it just cant happen right now.

The other thing had nothing to do with my son or wanting another baby. Well, it sort of did but not really.

This is a quot from one of my favorite songs.. "A Few Quesionts": by Clay Walker - but sums up my questions for God..

Spiritual Solution For Tensions And Anxiety

Realisation and repeated memorization of the true knowledge is the only one solution for this problem. The ignorance is responsible for all the anxiety and tensions. One should know that every one has climbed the time (Kala), which is the running train. Death is the station at which one has to get down. Then every one should face the Lord for the enquiry.

After the enquiry one will get either permanent happiness or permanent misery. The journey of this train to that station is the human life, which is only a fraction of second when it is compared to the infinite stream of time set up from the beginning of the creation. To think that the life is very long itself is ignorance. Every one is sitting in a closed compartment and realisation of the truth is the window through which every one should peep to find the infinite time stream. Only on such comparison the human life becomes a small fraction of a second. When the realization is absent and when there is no comparison the lifetime appears to be very long. First one should cross this illusion of time. Similarly, the illusion of the place. The earth looks very large under the ignorance.
But if one realises the infinite space of this universe the entire earth is a small fraction of a pinhead. Similarly one gets a comfortable seat and sits on it thinking that he is settled in the life.

Another person is moving in the compartment in search of a comfortable seat and according to him he is not settled. But when both these people look out through the window, which is realisation of truth, then both realise that both are moving. Similarly one thinks that his co-passengers are his close relatives and is worried about them. But they get down at their respective stations and do not remember this fellow at all. Nobody remembers their relatives of his previous birth. If one realises that the so-called close relatives like parents, wife, children etc., are only the co-passengers who get down at their stations, he will not have any tension or anxiety about them. He does his duties without these two. Similarly when one thinks that he is his body itself, he feels that diseases damage him.

But if one realises that this body is only a dramatic dress needed for his role in the present drama, he is not worried about the damage of the body. He feels that as if his shirt is damaged. During the journey in the train one must constantly think about the interview and prepare for it. In such case he gets permanent happiness after the enquiry even though he is traveling in a comfortless third class compartment. If one forgets the interview and is attracted by the factors in the closed compartment, he is going to get permanent misery even if he travels by a first class compartment.

Thus, something is good according to the ignorant people and that is bad according to the realised scholars. This world is full of ignorant people and only very few realised scholars are present. Therefore the behaviour of a realised soul is criticized and mocked by the large public. But all the souls will realise the truth after the death when they face the enquiry. But it becomes too late by that time and nothing can be rectified. Thus, a realised scholar never cares for the public and proceeds in the true path decided by the true realisation.

Only such true knowledge can remove the tensions and anxiety. The path of devotion can make you forget the pain temporarily for some time. It cannot remove the pain and anxiety on a permanent basis. No other methods like rituals, worships, etc., can solve this problem except the frequent memorization of the true knowledge. True knowledge is the comprehensive outlook of the whole situation i.e., realised by looking through the window of the train. Ignorance is the limited look inside the closed compartment, which is related to the comforts of seats and the bonds of co-passengers.


At the Lotus feet of Datta Swami

i would ask if you' re God all caring and forgiver of sins why do you take so many in such awful ways? fire, flood, hurricane, plane crashes, terrorism are all of these people sinners?why do you let children die and allow murderers rapists and evil people rome this earth? oops thats more than one question but hey!

Tali (wiccan)

Nature Of Lord-Nature Of Teacher

Lord Datta is essentially a teacher. His very nature is the nature of a teacher. If you study the nature of teacher, you have understood the very nature of Datta. The aim of mother, father and teacher is only the welfare of the child. But, mother and father may become lenient due to their blind intensive love on the child. But, the love of a teacher (Guru) is never blind and is always aimed at the welfare of student. The love of father and mother may sometimes spoil the welfare of the child. Therefore, Datta treats all the living beings in the creation as His students and not as His issues. Therefore, the teacher is more than father and mother.

The Lord created fruits for both good and bad actions. Why should He create a fruit for an action? Let there be acts without fruits. The child does mischief, but the mother or father does not punish. In that case, there is no fruit for that action. Similarly, let the Lord not punish our sins. If you expect like this, the answer is that the Lord does not behave like father or mother but behaves only as a teacher. The child gets spoiled if the mischief is tolerated. We are seeing this in the world. The teacher will never tolerate the spoiling of the child and therefore, He will not tolerate the mischief.

God uses the fruits of your sins as punishments and the only aim is your welfare. This is the reason why Datta is always called as Guru Datta. Therefore, guru or teacher is greatest. The results of bad deeds are used as punishments to transform and uplift the student. Therefore, the result of a bad deed is very very useful for the transformation of the soul. The results of your good deeds are given to you just as a relaxation between two punishments. When He punishes systematically, He is called as Yama. In the interval when you receive happiness, He is Indra. Sometimes He gives severe punishments with roaring sound. He is called as Kala Bhairava at that time. The hell is the special equipment for punishment. The aim of the punishment is only the real welfare.

Is there other intelligent life out there in the universe?

"what's the purpose of life huh?"

Paper or plastic?

The purpose of life is to realise God through present Human Incarnation.

At the Lotus feet of Datta Swami

If I asked god a question, it would be: "Do you know any cheats for judge dredd: Dredd Vs Death" Thats what i'd ask

THAT'S EASY. I'D ASK WHY WE ARE HERE.......

I would ask if I will ever find a man that is right for me and my daughter.

Is there really psychic powers?

or
Is there extraterrestrial life that is peaceful and intelligent?

I'd ask......where the hell have you been!!

I wouldn't ask anything...I would just stand there in awe....
