Is it by how much money he makes, or by how intelligent he is, or by how sociable he is? What's your opinion?

I have heard that if you have doubts in Sutra (the practical techniques and formulae), you should look backward for clarifications in Smrithi ( the visions, thoughts and learnings compiled into a Grandeour Design, Laws probably) and if you are doubtful of Smiriti (the Grand Contour) you should look back to Shastras (the scientific principles giving out the Design), if you are doubtful of Shastras you should look back to the Upanishads and Sruthi ( that's learned from Visioneries) and if you are still doubtful of what learned from visioneries, you should look back to the Vedas (the Visions). Do all of us have Visions ? Can we assume all make up the final techniques of life based on their own Visions or Vedas? Are these Visions of Different Individuals same, Deep Within at the Subtle Level if we try pondering deep within ourselves? just see some of those aspects of one Sutra with the following link .

Or only the ones they have 'invaded'.

An example being one of my earlier questions regarding places to visit near or in York. It was listed under 'Travel > United Kingdom > Other - United Kingdom' and the first three answers 'presumed' it was New York USA!

Do they also, when talking about other cities have to add the country on the end? i.e. London, England... Paris, France? Is there another London somewhere I've not heard of or another Paris I'm not familiar with?

History - related quote, could you tell me who is the original author? "People have the kind of government that they deserve" I learned it long time ago in a history class. If you happen to know the source and the actual quote that would be fantastic.

To clarify, what I am looking for is the source (author, title, page) for this doctrine that John Locke references in ESSAY CONCERNING HUMAN UNDERSTANDING, BOOK II,
Chapter I, paragraphs 10 through 19. I would guess Descartes or Spinoza, since they precede Locke chronologically. At any rate, the source in question MUST be earlier than 1690.

See http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl302/texts/locke/locke1/Book2a.html

Excerpt (note last line):
“We know certainly by experience that we sometimes think, and thence draw this infalliable consequence that there is something in us that has the power to think, but whether that substance perpetually thinks or not, we can be no farther assured than experience inform us… 13. Impossible to convince those that sleep without dreaming, that they think. Thus, methinks, every drowsy nod shakes their doctrine, who teach that the soul is always thinking.

-God does not need any "identification" or "name" nor does he care about whether you are saying There is no God, or There is God, and God is x. You are here for a race AGAINST TIME, your job is to do your duty within the deadline, and NOTHING ELSE. If you wasted time asking who is God, what is your name, etc etc you are actually misusing your resources.. You can say GOD DOES NOT EXIST. Your job is to breathe his air and serve God by seeing, eating and hearing in the form of human body because human body itself is the temple. You need not go to any temple. Simply sit in your house and eat and sleep at the proper time you dont need to have any name even identification with God is not required. Your job is to do the OFFICE WORK when in the office. When in the EARTH you must do EARTH WORK before Deadline. Doing it AFTER is waste and WILL NOT REACH GOD for he has already reached God (inside the இ). If you wasted time asking who are you, who is your God (chatting and emailing) without doing

Is it a philosophical text explaining the complexities of life ? Is it a text of inducing inner vision or just a framework of certain laws of life? or is it both ? jk's opinion is that its both, but predominantly a text of Visions ... and lately with a framework of laws ... what's your take?

Choices:
1.) Correct moral evaluations do not consider the circumstances of the action.
2.) Differences among cultural moral standards are based on non-moral facts.
3.) Moral truth is based on social norms so universal moral truth does not exist.
4.) Culturals across the world and over time agree on certain fundamental moral truths.

The same question clarified, with a wee bit more than 110 characters to work with: "In the nineteenth century, the problem was that God was dying. In the twentieth century, the problem was that man was dying. What appears to be the twenty-first century problem ?"

Science teaches us reality is made up of things for which we have evidence. What about the stuff that has not yet been discovered? Isn't that undiscovered stuff just as real before as it is after we discover it? If we believe science's view of reality as being the true reality, are we not blinding ourselves?

Atheists do not believe in God. They have no Religion. Oh course , they will say that there is no Heaven or Hell , but for us Christians who know better ; we know that some day they will make their Maker.

"The Vedas have the three gunas as their subject; be above the three qualities, O Arjuna. Free from the pairs of opposites, be firmly established in purity, and not caring for gain and preservation, be possessed of the Self. "

"Know for certain that the Vedas are pervaded by the three qualities. All the Upanishads and the like are endowed with the quality of goodness. Other religious texts are imbued with passion and darkness, as they speak of rites which lead to heaven, O Arjuna. Knowing that they only cause pleasure and pain, do not entertain them in your mind. Forsake this triad of qualities and give up the sense of 'Me' and 'Mine", and do not for a moment forget the bliss flowing from the self."
