So my mind and soul tells me if the Torah/scriptures of Judaism has more wisdom about God distilled and encapsulated in it's pithy verses then Judaism is superior to Hinduism.

I watched this video and the Rabbi quotes the verses of the Torah and it seems to support the philosophy and mysticism of Kabbalah and the masters Maimonides, Spinoza and the Baal Shem Tov about the "mind of God" and us existing within His mind.



The Purusha Sukta verses towards the end also says "though art the individual intellect, though art His intellect, though art the intellect of all"

Both cultures have significance, they overlap certain times tbh.
Of course, this happens with the Kabbalah Jews only.

God says in the Torah "no man can see my face and live". Seems to support the idea in Hinduism that you get moksha, final release through intense connection to God whereupon God releases your soul from the body.

My ambition is to write commentary on the verses of both the Torah and the Vedas and merge both religions into one consistent whole.

@2025cel why no Brahmin Einstein? Why was Einstein a Jew? Of course Brahmins had the heavyweight Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. So it's all good baby. :feelsez:

Both Brahmins and Jews are the smartest people in the world.

All of our actions depend upon God letting us act them out, He limits us with the laws of the Universe. If I choose willingly to act a certain way and I am able to produce the effect I intended, then it is God who wills it. The will is the combination of the mind-body and soul.

All the causes and effects of the Universe are the manifestation of the Omnipotence of God.

"Mahatmya and Devi Bhagavata Purana, revere Devi (the Goddess) as the primordial creator of the universe and the Brahman (ultimate truth and reality)."

"Through me alone all eat the food that feeds them,"

"...and reside as their Inner Controller"
 
Both opposed to reason and logic, both stealing what was only conjecture by philosophers and then acting like they're certain about it cause muh god, both reliant on censorship.
 
Why does God perform miracles for the Jewish people throughout the Torah but there are no records of miracles in the Hindu scriptures?
 
I was worshipping God in order to connect to Him and therefore feel His presence.

I realized that He is the substratum and basis of this complex and vast Universe.

I pondered over how a single object/God be responsible for entire universe filled with diversity and multiplicity.

In God all things become one. He is the equalizer of all. He is responsible for every single thing here.

This made me realize and feel the Omnipotence of God.

My senses, my body, my mind all wander. They are all created and sustained also by Him along with objects I come into contact with within my locus of experience.

"Proverbs 1:7 states, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,"

Fear of God makes perfect sense because God's control of this universe is intense and overwhelming and that there is no escape from God because 1) everything is under control 2) he makes everything that happens and can happen 3) he is also Omniscient.

Us finite creatures submit to the Infinite Supreme Being and there is no way to escape God.

The first profound spiritual experience is to perceive the Might of God through direct experience.

Call yourself a Brahmin but you do not study the Vedas. When your Guru teaches you Vedanta, your mind thinks about looksmax.org and you want to leave as soon as possible.

You simply chant the Vedas without probing deep into it's inner meanings. How many hours a day do you devote yourself to spiritual practices?

Do you even truly have the hunger and thirst for Vedic knowledge? To know the arguments about the difference between Nirguna Brahman and Saguna Brahman between Advaitins and Dvaitins?

Do you not set an example for all varnas by your holiness and urge them to be spiritual?

Shame upon you.(Just joking Bhai, you know I love you ❤️)

1) "everything is owing to the will of God" = complacency?

2) "I need to do something about it" = taking charge

3) "I am able to even act by the power of God, because my actions are created by Him in the first place and it is He who allows me to act, enabling me to produce effects through my actions"

Why is Durga the wife of Shiva and not Vishnu or Brahma? I will explain the significance and symbolism later.

9:50


Combining the 3 = Shaktism

The world is an expression of the energy of God

If you sincerely and thoroughly connect to God and feel Him at all times, you will know that there is nothing to fear. Because everything is under His control and nothing happens except by His will.

God created an imperfect world, where we should perform good deeds. It depends on us.

To be spiritually empowered to act in this physical world.

This is Shaktism.
