Vedic philosophy: Inconceivable oneness and difference

Gurudeva

Two things: contradictory but functioning nicely together. This is Vedic culture and it is difficult for Westerners to understand, as we do not have the capacity to deal with contradictory things happening at the same time. So do not labour under the materialistic place of duality, of either-or, which we see because we are not connected to the Supreme Absolute Truth, where there can be no duality.  The place of inconceivable oneness and difference (acintya-bhedābheda-tattva) is the Vedic philosophy, not a philosophy.  This is the transcendental platform, where seeming contradictions don't contradict each other at all.  The oneness is there, and although acintya-bhedābheda-tattva is separate from other systems of Vedic thought, at the same time it includes the others. It will take more thoughtfulness to appreciate, however. Other systems are more easily, directly appreciated.   BVPS, Ki Jai.

All you need is love ....

I don't remember hearing love described so beautifully from anyone who was not living the renounced life. Please enjoy and share Jason Silva's ecstatic take on love.

Enlightenment .. it's personal

All grasping is fruitless, all hoping is in vain 

For hope is of a future which may or may not exist.

Expectation only bears sorrow, running only takes you in a circle.

For all paths lead to the one source.

And if you touch that source even for a timeless second

It's as if every bird had composed a song of joy especially for that moment.

As if every loving exchange you had ever encountered came flooding back 

to fill your heart and your dream-time.

The subtle sweetness of this meeting is silent. boundless

Beyond the clumsy search of words

And it will change you

Cell by cell, fibre by fibre, for all time.

Apology:  I do not remember where I heard these thoughts, and an extensive online search has not helped me identify the source.  I trust the being with such beauty within is fulfilled by their publication.
