Garbage We Are
Tuesday is garbage day. Some days I feel like garbage, with refuse streaming through the mind. I have a long way to becoming pavitram or pure. Fortunately, I have a mantra to work on my internal contaminants. That’s a daily affair. Every day is Tuesday then, in terms of addressing the demons.
That brings to mind a topic that I’ll be speaking on this Sunday, regarding “Is there a hell full of Satans and is there a heaven full of demons in hell? Is their actual punishment, torture and flames to be felt, in condemnation?”
One thing I can say on the subject is that hell is something we have created; it is primarily within us. However, we must not discard the fact that an actual geographical place exists for getting one’s just deserts. The great book, Bhagavatam, and the text Garuda Purana detail such unpleasantries. It appears that such descriptions are divine scare-tactics; an approach to straighten out those who are stubborn to reform.
One observation that I’ve made is when the law enforcers are not around, at times of need, it becomes a problem. People think twice about committing a crime when they know that prison could be an outcome for wrongdoing. What would it be like in an anarchy state? Thank God for the Kshatriyas, upholders and enforcers of policies. Just look at that word “policies.” It’s so close enough to the word policing. Who set the standards anyway?
Could it be God who lays down the law for us to follow? The Vedas say it’s Manu.
May the Source be with you!
