    No, I just analyse and introspect and read... Who is Sai? Satya Sai Baba or Baba of Shridi? I am NOT a follower of either (in fact, Satya Sai Baba's HAIR frightens me a little ..but I LIKE Einstein's White HAIR) 8 his Swiss Watches...not imported from Swiss land....puts me Off! Otherwise...

    There's no need for interpretation. That's what the text, itself, says. That's the "main message" that we are told Jesus went about preaching. "we are told" WHO told you This? TEXT? Approved Gospels or Gnostic Gospels? Satish

    This is a Pandora’s Box we are opening… There is much truth in what you say… But your statement “Part of the appeal of religion comes from the static nature of their beliefs which give people a degree security in their understanding of the world.” Contradicts what Buddha said on...

    "turn your lives around" That is something you and I agree with COMPLETELY "God's kingdom has come near" is subject to interpretation as per insight. What gives you the RIGHT to INTERPRET WHAT JESUS Meant? (when even Peter, who lived by him 24/7 had trouble understanding what he meant)...

    I agree that a ‘Balanced View’ is practical… even Buddha advocated the ‘Middle Path’ & Aristotle advocated the ‘Golden Mean Rule’. But as far as I know, NEITHER advocated a Sometimes violent…sometimes non-violent path. VIOLENCE = basically a Balance of Violent Forces (eg 5888...

    Reading Jesus and your post, Gandhi developed a new methodology called Active “passive resistance” which won the freedom of a billion people from the biggest army in the world & which “liberated” the blacks in the U.S (Martin Luther King). What would be your comment on that? Satish

    I believe Jesus' primary message was 'non-violence' as opposed to what may have come to be interpreted since his time. If the principle of non-violence is followed, you get 2 mangoes with 1 stone: This World becomes a better place and you score good points if there is a Next World. Satish
