The boulder and the head, both are considered illusions in non-duality.

:D We have talked about elephants in cupboards. There are two which I use for RigVeda. Ralph Griffith at Sacred-Texts.com and Wisdom Library. Excellent, clear and unbiased. Ralph Griffith (raḥmatu -llāhi ʿalayhū) gives the text and translation for the whole hymn on clickable two pages. At...

I stand corrected. This Michael Brooks has the qualifications. I like what he did to Tredinnick. Good that people like him are around. Science needs them. Kabir said: "Nindak niyare rakhiya aangan kuti chhavaay, bin pani, sabun bina, nirmal kare subhaay." (Keep the critic close, let them have a...

Birds of the same feather. :) There are already many heads in science. They keep correcting each other.

Michael Jamal Brooks was an American talk show host, writer, left-wing political commentator, and comedian. How come Jamal in his name? Something that he adopted in Turkeye or a conversion? What was the knowledge and authority of Michael Brooks to comment on the work of Krauss?

Science is not a box. There are millions of people checking it minutely all around the world.

If this is not one answer to 'why', then what is it? Science is investigating things. "Allahdidit" is a non-answer with no evidence other than people said or believed so in Levant and Arabia centuries ago.

Yes, I too wonder about the so-called 'transcendental'. For me, it is about 'Why things exist at all?' "According to quantum mechanics, the vacuum state is not truly empty but instead contains fleeting electromagnetic waves and particles that pop into and out of the quantum field." "Some...

That is why science is necessary. It many a times jerks one out of his/her mental/conceptual boxes.

Livelihood for millions of priests, clerics and brahmins (they may not be qualified for anything else).

Power, money or sex. Beneficial to scammers who start/propagate such beliefs. Theyyam, Kerala, India

Sure, I do the same. But will not give prior acceptance to God till the time I get evidence. :)

I wonder if you understand the relationship of matter to energy (the famous E=m x c squared)! They are one. In Hinduism, moral practices (dharma) are societal requirements, they do not depend on belief. Nothing gradual about it. Non-duality has no God, it does not depend on a God's pleasure...

That is between two nations, India and Pakistan. You hurt us, we hurt you. US or Israel did more than that. Do you remember that we too had an attack on Indian Parliament by Pakistani terrorists (only that it was December 13, 2001, 12/13), 9 Indians died and 5 Pakistani terrorists. But I am...

Yeah. Vedas are the last living Indo-European lore possibly dating from the ice-age. Puranas are books written around less that 2,000 years. Puranas - Wikipedia

What is there to reply in an 'argumentum ad populum' fallacy? That is why I said you are welcome to your views.

It was a nice day, except that 24 unarmed Hindu tourists were killed by four Pakistani terrorists after they asked the victims for their religion in Kashmir. They also killed two foreigners and one Muslim, So (as far as the reports go, 27), now it is our turn to play the game, we will kill the...

Mainly Iranian nomads or Pakistan soap when I have nothing else to do, otherwise news.

You are welcome to your views. For myself, if there is not even a single proof of what the scriptures say in the last 10,000 years, then I will say there is no possibility - like there being no elephant in my cupboard, however hard anyone tries to make me believe that there is one (or many, a...

Kabir (Kabirdas) is supposed to have been an orphan (1,440 CE), raised by a poor Muslim couple who were weavers; one of the most revered sages of Hinduism and Sikhism. His Guru was Ramananda. "Jāt na pūchho sādhu kī, pūchh lījiye gyān; mol karo tālwar kā, padī rahan do myān" (Do not ask the...
