Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study in Karma Karma (From The Light of Asia by Sir Edwin Arnold) It knows not wrath nor pardon; utter true Its measures mete, its faultless balance weighs; Times are as nought, to-morrow it will judge, Or after many days. By this the slayer's knife did stab himself; The unjust judge hath lost his own defender; The false tongue dooms its lie; the creeping thief And spoiler rob, to render. Such is the Law which moves to righteousness, Which none at last can turn aside or stay; The heart of it is Love, the end of it Is Peace and Consummation sweet. Obey!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Karma Few words are needed in sending this little book out into the world. It is the fourth of a series of Manuals designed to meet the public demand for a simple exposi tion of Theosophical teachings. Some have complained that our literature is at once too abstruse, too technical, and too expensive for the ordinary reader, and it is our hope that the present se7 ies may succeed in supplying what is a very real want. Theosophy is not only for the learned; it is for all. Perhaps among those who in these little booles catch their first glimpse of its teachings, there may be a few who will be led by them to penetrate more deeply into its philosophy, its science and its religion, facing its abstruser problems with the student's zeal and the neophyte's ardour. But these manuals are not written for the eager student, whom no initial difficulties can daunt they are written for the busy men and women of the work-a-day world, and seek to make plain some of. The great truths that render life easier to bear and death easier to face. Written by servants of the Masters who are the Elder Brothers of our race, they can have no other object than to serve our fellow-men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Light on the Path and Karma When the Master reads my heart, He will find it clean utterly. The pure artist who works for the love of his work is sometimes more firmly planted on the right road than the Occultist who fancies he has removed his interest from self, but who has in reality only enlarged the limits of experience and desire, and transferred his interest to the things which concern his larger span of life. The same principle applies to the other two seemingly simple rules. Linger over them, and do not let yourself be easily deceived by your own heart. For now, at the threshold, a mistake can be corrected. Bub, carry it on with you and it will grow and come to fruition, or else you must suffer bitterly in its destruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theosophical Manuals, Vol. 3: Karma HE remarks under this head are intended to be introductory to each of the Manuals. First, as to the spirit in which they are of fered. These manuals are not written in a controversial spirit, nor as an addition to the stock of theories awaiting public approval. The writers have no time to waste in arguing with people who do not wish to be convinced, or who ridicule everything which is new to their limited outlook. Their message is for those who desire to know those who are seeking for something that will solve their doubts and remove their difficulties. For such, all that is needed is a clear exposition of the Theosophical teachings; for they will judge of the truth of a teaching by its power to an swer the questions they ask. People realize, much more now than in the early days of the Theosophical Society, the value of Theosophy.

Download or read book Karma Cola written by Gita Mehta and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-05-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the late '60s, hundreds of thousands of Westerners descended upon India, disciples of a cultural revolution that proclaimed that the magic and mystery missing from their lives was to be found in the East. An Indian writer who has also lived in England and the United States, Gita Mehta was ideally placed to observe the spectacle of European and American "pilgrims" interacting with their hosts. When she finally recorded her razor sharp observations in Karma Cola, the book became an instant classic for describing, in merciless detail, what happens when the traditions of an ancient and longlived society are turned into commodities and sold to those who don't understand them. In the dazzling prose that has become her trademark, Mehta skewers the entire Spectrum of seekers: The Beatles, homeless students, Hollywood rich kids in detox, British guilt-trippers, and more. In doing so, she also reveals the devastating byproducts that the Westerners brought to the villages of rural lndia -- high anxiety and drug addiction among them. Brilliantly irreverent, Karma Cola displays Gita Mehta's gift for weaving old and new, common and bizarre, history and current events into a seamless and colorful narrative that is at once witty, shocking, and poignant.
Download or read book A Conceptual analytic Study of Classical Indian Philosophy of Morals written by Rajendra Prasad and published by Concept Publishing Company. This book was released on 2008 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using recontructive ideas available in classical Indian original works, this book makes a departure in the style of modern writings on Indian moral philosophy. It presents Indian ethics, in an objective, secular, and wherever necessary, critical manner as a systematic, down-to-earth, philosophical account of moral values, virtues, rights and obligations. It thereby refutes the claim that Indian philosophy has no ethics as well as the counter-claim that it transcends ethics. It demonstrates that moral living proves that the individual, his society and the world are really real and not only taken to be real for behavioral purposes as the Advaitins hold, the self is amoral being a non-agent, moksa is not a moral value, and the Karmic theory, because of involving belief in rebirth, does not fuarantee that the doer of an action is also the experiencer of its results, contrary to what is commonly held, and Indian ethics can sustain itself even if such notions are dropped. Rajendra Prasad calls Indian ethics organismic because, along with ethical concerns, it also covers issues related to professions, politics, administration, sex, environment, etc. Therefore, in one format it is theoretical and applied, normative and metaethical, humanistic and non-humanistic, etc., of course, within the limits of the then cognitive enquiry.
Download or read book Reincarnation a Study of Forgotten Truth Classic Reprint written by E. D. Walker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than simply a study into reincarnation, this book is an argument for the existence of reincarnation as a fundamental component of human existence. Unlike some authors writing on the topic, author E.D. Walker is keenly aware that many people are skeptical of the very concept of reincarnation. Thus, the ultimate goal of this book is to present evidence illuminating the existence of reincarnation and its fundamental nature. Walker builds her argument by first defining the term and tackling the frequently stated objections to the existence of reincarnation. The author then serves up counterpoints to criticisms most often levied by skeptics, including why we have no memory of past lives ("birth is so violent as to scatter all the details and leave only the net spiritual result," Walker argues) amongst other critiques. The book details what is referred to as evidence of reincarnation throughout history, examining ancient civilizations, the Bible, Buddhism and other religions, and the writings of poets and thinkers on the topic of reincarnation. The book also examines transmigration through animals, the meaning of death, and the importance of karma in reincarnation. One's pre-existing beliefs will likely impact how one views this work. Those who believe in reincarnation will likely find the evidence presented believable and affirming. Skeptics may have a harder time with some of the examples of reincarnation presented, such as that of a music prodigy so talented that he must be "the reappearance of Mozart hastening to fill out the life that was cut sadly short." Ultimately, Reincarnation: A Study of Forgotten Truth is a worthwhile read for both believers and skeptics alike. It is a thorough examination of the topic, and while argumentative by its very nature, leaves room for the reader to form their own conclusions.

Download or read book The Karma Mimamsa Classic Reprint written by Arthur Berriedale Keith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Karma-Mimamsa Not rarely in the Brahmanas, especially in later texts like the Kausltaki, the term Mimarhsa occurs as the designation of a discussion on some point of ritual practise. The sacrifice left innumerable opportunities for divergence of usage in detail, and the texts decide in favour of one or the other alternative, on the strength of the reasons familiar to the Brahmanas, in special the symbolical significance attaching to the action recommended. There is a vital difference between this form of Mimarhsa and that of the classical Karma-Mimamsa school, in the fact that in the former the appeal to authority, and the necessity of reconciling apparent discrepancies of authority, are entirely lacking. But the tendency to surrender judgment in favour of tradition may be traced in the care with which in the atapatha and the Kausltaki Brahmanas the name of the teacher is adduced in support of the doctrines expounded; in the older style the reasonings stand by themselves, commended by their intrinsic value. The process by which the Brahmanas came to be regarded as texts of incontrovertible accuracy, and speculation on the sacrifice ceased to be independent, cannot now be traced in detail. The account of the sacrifices given in these texts, supplemented by the collections of Mantras in the Samhitas of the various schools, would, obviously, never have sufficed to enable priests to carry out the sacrifices, and there must have been a full and precise oral tradition regarding the mode in which the sacrifices, which formed the subjects of the mystical speculations of the Brahmanas, were to be performed.

Download or read book Transcending the Postmodern written by Susana Onega and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcending the Postmodern: The Singular Response of Literature to the Transmodern Paradigm gathers an introduction and ten chapters concerned with the issue of Transmodernity as addressed by and presented in contemporary novels hailing from various parts of the English-speaking world. Building on the theories of Transmodernity propounded by Rosa María Rodríguez Magda, Enrique Dussel, Marc Luyckx Ghisi and Irena Ateljevic, inter alia, it investigates the links between Transmodernity and such categories as Postmodernity, Postcolonialism and Transculturalism with a view to help define a new current in contemporary literary production. The chapters either follow the main theoretical drives of the transmodern paradigm or problematise them. In so doing, they branch out towards various issues that have come to inspire contemporary novelists, among which: the presence of the past, the ascendance of new technologies, multiculturalism, terrorism, and also vulnerability, interdependence, solidarity and ecology in a globalised context. In so doing, it interrogates the ethics, aesthetics and politics of the contemporary novel in English.

Download or read book Reincarnation Classic Reprint written by A. E. Landon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reincarnation is the rebirth of a soul into a new body, a new life; for the soul to be reborn again and again with each subsequent life a chance for the soul to learn and grow. The book Reincarnation contains a series of articles written by a range of different individuals. This volume explores not just the concept of reincarnation but also the concept of karma. While many people think of karma as "good" and "bad" the book postulates that "no karma is ever evil, for even those reactions upon the individual of the most serious errors tend in the end to aid the growth of the spirit." All karma allows the soul a chance for growth. And with each incarnation and every experience, the soul aims to achieve the ultimate goal: "the great desideratum is to be free -not from rebirth - but from the necessity for rebirth." For the reader who is not familiar with all of these philosophical and spiritual concepts, the book explores many facets and schools of thought on these topics. For the reader who has knowledge of reincarnation, it offers new viewpoints and ideas. An addition concept thoroughly explore in this book is that of fate. Often, fate is entwined with karma, and different beliefs are held about the true relationship between these two. While some believe in cause and effect, others believe in destiny. Ultimately, this volume argues that man has control over his karma, fate, and his soul's growth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
