Death and Marriage

"If death or any other condition is brought on by ourselves, why do we groan and wail at the time of departure," asked the disciple, who was fascinated with the phenomenon of death.

The Master then explained this paradox of death, "Newly married girls leave their parents, relations etc. of their own accord, happily and yet they weep and cry at the moment of bidding good-bye. We change our old friends for new ones for ourselves and then we miss the dear old relations," said the Master. 

He said he was like a child walking into a library, and you see the books and you know somebody must have written them, and you see them ordered and you know somebody must have ordered them, and there's a sense of awe that's manifest in that, where you kind of understand that there's an order underlying everything and the more you appreciate it, the more humble you become in the face of it and the more you have a sense of what he called cosmic religion.

In some ways, his belief in God, that God had created an orderly universe, informs his science. He believes that underlying everything, there are laws. He would always repeat, when he saw something that violated his laws of causality, he'd say, "Well, God doesn't play dice with the universe. " Niels Bohr once responded to him and [said], "Einstein, quit telling God what to do."

K Gathering April 14

The 2064 B.S. New Year's day was celebrated with a K Gathering at the Mind Body Library. It was a beginning of a new year with deep self inquiry and breaking down of many deep-rooted concepts.

Program of the event K Audio Listening Dialogue Session Tea Break Announcements and activities for the new year

The Dialogue Session was a very fruitful and intense with some participants engaging in logical deductions, some stressing the need to see the whole picture and others suggesting that there may be something beyond all this. The allotted one hour time for the session was way past and we had to end it with a commitment to continue the dialogue along the same thread soon.

Some announcements were made: a bi-monthly Quest Times will be published and distributed free. Besides, the list of all books in Mind Body Library will be soon online for the ease of the readers. Volunteers and contributors for both these projects are welcome to contact us. Some participants proposed to create an online community to continue the dialogue on similar topics in order to complement the physical dialogue sessions.
