Avi's Spiritual and Religious Journey - Part 2

[sun rise]

Hey! Next time, tell me when you're joking around. I seriously thought that you worship your wife because she spends a lot.

The good (google) book search result says:

My wife is my shepherd, I shall not indulge. She maketh me to lie down and do push-ups. She giveth me sodium-free bread. She restoreth my waistline. She leadeth past the refrigerator for mine own sake. She maketh me to partake of broccoli instead of potatoes. She hurrieth me past the pizzeria. Yea, though I walk through the valley of ice cream, I shall not partake, for thou art with me...

I wish all a wonderful New Year with a quote from the Baal Shem Tov, an short video and an image:

Humor takes you from a state of constricted consciousness into a more expanded state of mind, so that you can learn Torah deeply and cleave to G-d, blessed be He.

And the Messiah has come.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 1835-1908 is the Messiah; so the exile must end now.
No reason to continue it.

Regards

So, Paar, I read a little bit about your hero, here, Mirza Ahmad. You know...he advocated a peaceful jihad. Why isn't this approach generally accepted in Islam ?

No wonder they kicked you out of the DIR too...I shudder to imagine what will come out when you and Metis hang out together...

Hopefully a shot of great if virtual schnapps with a L'chaim toast and much laughter and good cheer.

Side note: Posting in this thread is helping me to rediscover some almost forgotten Yiddish.

Speaking about oy vey, I just remembered that I attended a Tagore Centenary play in New York City in 1961, took out the program I had saved ever since then and found a picture of Einstein meeting Tagore.

I'm 69 and should know better by now. But...

 

[Avi1001]

I'm 69 and should know better by now. But...

I better not say Metis' age...or he'll put me on ignore....

But to give you a hint...if you add 10 years to Metis age....you get Rabbio's age ......actually, I think Rabbio is still mad at me....from when I told him he is too conservative....but in fairness....I didn't say too conservative for what. ....anyway, Rabbio is good people, in case you haven't met him yet.

Ah, you not a veteran of my posts like RabbiO and Avi, who well know they can't take me too seriously-- and they don't. :no:

L'Shana Tova

Avi, how many times do I have to tell you it's not "age", it's "maturity"?! Dah!

While I'm at it, a L'Shana Tova to you and all here.

1961! Heck, he's not even wet behind the ears yet, plus that was a really bad year anyway. Now, 1945, that was a great year that fostered some really great people, but I'll not take credit for all that.

'45 was a fine year. You were in your 20's then, right ?

Since at was my birth year I would hope you would not claim direct responsibility for me being in the world :no:

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quran/Islam/Muhammad fully support Mirza Ghulam Ahmad- the Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi.
Or you may say that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad fully followed Quran/Islam/Muhammad being Muhammad authorized Caliph/Successor at End of Times.

He wasn't our messiah. Maybe he was yours. But nothing to do with us.

Then rest assured yours will never come.

Ya, the same as your I.Q.

I'll never tell.

I think I'll wait to rest assured until I hear from someone who might know anything whatsoever about it.
