The essence of the eternal

Well-known member
Can something eternal be abolished? It is an oxymoron obviously. Eternal implies that there are no changes and it remains same. But do you interpret it as not adapting to times? No not that way. It means all possible changes are taken into account with perfect balance between them and existing in a state of stillness.

Change need not happen. All changes are reflected in the stillness. It is in sync with all the times and hence timeless.

Those who don't understand this concept need to take pains to do that and get the right understanding. It so happens sometimes even if you are convinced about it you oppose it because you are confronted with other pragmatic issues. Actually a thorough understanding of the concept of the eternal gives the necessary wisdom to cope up even with the stiffest of pragmatic problems and offers a win win situation.

Changes happen so that you improve seek to improve yourself. You may not actually improve and situation may worsen and so you make more adjustments towards the ideal. For example you start as a timid person and would want to change that. You tend to be bold and brash to counter that but you find brashness is not great too and so you moderate yourself accordingly to really improve yourself. All these act as changes. But if you are already in an ideal state there is balance already struck between these states and you always act in that ideal way. Thats what i meant.

Eternal truths are about elevating one's self towards the divine. It is in no way abominable. The system itself has necessary balance to make corrections when needed. There is the concept of degrading morality in a gradual manner from a very high ethical level. This period is called as kali yuga where corruption of mind is rampant. Even the relatively ethical people practice unethical behaviour and this may result in the system getting tarnished.

However when one focuses on the hoary and fundamental principles of the system such as transcending desires and enemies of mind, we can see the bar set by it. But the system acknowledges weaknesses of self too and is pragmatic and strives to make what is ideal as the pragmatic. Practice is very difficult especially in kali yuga but for that the system cannot be brought down.

The bar is high but it is only you who have to work hard to scale the heights.
 
Science is just trying to defend itself. It's philosophy of understanding piecemeal has to start from ignorance. You also need to keep correcting yourself constantly.

But that's not how spirituality acquires knowledge. It tries to grasp the whole all through mind to know the essence of eternal.

One more thing. The more you really know the more humble you become. The talk of saying this guy says he knows everything. Its all BS doesn't really hold water. One who really knows talks less about how much he knows.
