Comparing Judaism and Hinduism megathread

[GuyFromSingapore]

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.

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.
