What Krishna was supposed to have preached to Arjuna is only a
rediscovery of a timeless truth. Thats why the truth of Sanatana
Dharma is never fixed in the form of an unalterable text - continual
rediscovery presents the same truth in different outward forms in
different epochs.

The truth is so powerful that India's outward degradation and having
been vulnerable to conquest by invaders for much of its history takes
little away from it.

The Chinee people know that time is timeless. I had written about that
before.
And how things can be achieved through time. Try the following post if
you are
interested.

One big difference is that the Chinese version allows for change. In
contrast,
reincarnation or metampsychosis is just a way for the powerful to fix
the game to

I don't know why you make such a big deal about time as if it physically
and objectively exists. You better spend some time to brush up your
knowledge of Einstein's general theory of relativity.

Well, you have to write a big thesis to prove this point how indian
philosophies so and chinese philosophies not. And even if so, then
so what.

The (correct) understanding of physics very much within time and
place. Physics is a particular kind of philosophy.

Metaphysics, or philosophy is, never beyond the
> scope of
> time.

Metaphysics is not philosophy; it is the source and direction of
philosophy. Metaphysics by definition is beyond the scope of time and
everyday knowledge, for it is both the source and direction underlying
all comprehension. There could be various different metaphysics,
relating to various social groups. Some are more developed, some are
less developed. Some are more dominant, others that could be more
refined are latent. Metaphysics relates to revelation from Divine
Grace; only the Poet has genuine access to Metaphysics.

Philosophy is simply the love of knowledge and the wisdom resulting
from same, and a philosopher is he who can express that as coherently
as possible.

Cheers,

Arindam Banerjee.

Why don't you read the article portion of it quoted in the beginning
post and
try to understand why the Indian author wrote the following:

"... the disintegration of Hinduism did not throw up a new thought-
system
secularizing action and Nature, and supporting it by the notion of
achievement as the essential motive- force of life. The reason for
this can
be simply stated : When the life goes out of a tradition which
systematically
and relentlessly d?values and discards the highest achievement at ail
levels,
its heirs are left in a tragicomic situation : they are incapable of
the higher,
and indiff?rent to the lower. (The indiff?rence is principial :
concretely it is
manifested in the mental and moral laziness of the people). "

Please try to understand what A.K. Saran was talking. After that, you
can
either agree with him or disagree with him. If you disagree, we can
then
discuss how A.K. Saran is wrong and you are right.

Christianity began with Jesus. If Jesus was wrong, Christianity would
fall with
it. In contrast, Hinduism "has no founder and event inaugurating its
is merely
an aspect of the awareness of eternity and consequently indifference
to history
which permeate Hinduism."

I have fully gone, dear bundree. Far away from all the mentally and morally
lazy people led by the abominable gargs - of whom you are a very worthy
representative. No jhoom barabar jhoom sharabi for you and other gandians,
I am afraid. Here, now, life flows like a lovely dream...

Actually, "Paul" passed through my mind. He was the one who made
Christianity Christianity. Concerning Jesus, there are literature
about
him using material independent of the Chrsitian bible. THE JESUS
DYNASTY by James Tabor is one such example. Anyway, AK Saran's
article treated Chrsitianity, Islam and Buddhist as a group in
opposite
to Hinduism. The article also mentioned Marx. You can look it up
yourself.
