Thank you Steve.

I did a quick look for the video mentioned and didn't find it? Anyway someone went to a lot of trouble to make a touching video if that is what happened...

where is at?

Thank you Mr. Cash !!

Why is Lord Shiva called Neelkanth? During the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan), a deadly poison known as Halahala emerged, powerful enough to destroy the universe. To protect all of creation, Shiva selflessly consumed the poison, holding it in his throat. His neck turned blue from its impact, earning him the name Neelkanth, the one with the blue throat.

and certain brands of beer...but not Modelo imo.

true from just or only varying human perspectives, and I'd say that if only varying human perspectives were possible then we'd be SOL to ever know, be satisfied, and rest in a greater truth and beingness/source that is beyond change, corruption, ups and downs, etc..

Thanks, btw who doesn't suffer in one way or another over the adharmic or evil in the world including self realized saints and masters? (that feel for their students and all beings)

the working of karma is perfect but karma itself veils the perfect....

right, thanks

not needed since you come off as seemingly knowing everything from A-Z...

"cherry picking" is not exactly a diplomatic term as generally used in conversation, if used for picking a motor out of car it has a more precise in meaning. And to me your explanation leaves lots of room for further interpretation. Btw, I'd say most Buddhists know of the story in their doctrine of how the historic Buddha almost killed himself through extreme methods that he picked which If I remember correctly included near starvation as being one of them...

think about your first sentence above Keith....Did not the historic Buddha teach to question things which you seem to be demeaning by calling it cherry picking? Btw did not that Buddha also do his share or forms of cherry picking along the way which almost killed him?

and of course Advaita Vedanta is only one of the many schools that range from A-Z in Hinduism (so to speak) and thus does represent all of Hinduism as some seem to take for granted.

not the same when or if written off as or bound in illusion.
