dattaswami Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Rebirth--? The same God gave the same spiritual knowledge in all religions. If we see the concept in Hinduism about re-birth, it is misinterpreted, twisted and polluted. The concept of Christianity and Islam must exist in Hinduism also since the same God gave the same spiritual knowledge in all religions. God cannot speak some thing in two religions and some thing else in one religion. Therefore, the same concept of Christianity and Islam existed in Hinduism originally. God is omni-potent, which means that He has the power to violate the rule. God can violate the rule but He violates only in a few exceptional cases. The omni-potency of God is also accepted in Christianity and Islam. If they say that the rule is never violated, it means that God is not omni-potent. We can only say that the rule is not misused but is violated in a very few deserving cases only. Therefore, the word Durlabham (almost impossible) is used instead of using Asambhavam (strictly impossible) in the case of re-human birth in Hinduism. Therefore, even in this point there is no difference between the three religions. But Hindus extended the violation power of God to every case of human being. Such extension of the point in Hinduism is wrong. At the same time the impossibility of violation of the rule is also wrong in Christianity and Islam. Those two religions were benefited by such misinterpretation that the rule can never be violated. Such misunderstanding induced real and complete fear in them. But in Hinduism, the misunderstanding of the rule of violation harmed the people. The benefit and damage were both in Pravrutti (Path of Justice) and Nivrutti (Loving service to Lord in human form with out any desires) simultaneously. If you take Pravrutti, India is not developed where as the countries of other two religions have developed tremendously. If you take Nivrutti also, Christians and Muslims are very serious about their spiritual efforts. But Hindus are very lenient. Hindus think that there is always human rebirth for every soul and so the chance is possible constantly. If you see the life of Shirdi Sai Baba, He was scolding a snake and frog by uttering their human names of the previous birth. This shows that the human rebirth for every soul is not sure. The permanent hell of the other two religions was thought as the pe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
