Dear Yuyutsu,

I wish you and your family a very happy Shivaratri day, Yuyutsu.

Until we meet again on some other thread on this forum …

Thanks, Banjo!

«I would invite you to seek God too.»

I've been doing so all my life - and previously too.

«To Seek God through Jesus»

So you are asking me to change course and go in a wrong direction, one that would in fact increase my sin? That direction may suit you, that direction probably suited the poor Jews of Jesus' times, who were misled into dark alleys by both their priests and Pharisees, so Jesus had to come and save them, but I am coming from a very different place, so how dare you attempt to divert me away from my path to God?

«through prayer, and through study the f the bible.»

Yes, prayer is great. As for the bible, I think I know it quite well, but do you know how many volumes of scripture are still waiting on my shelf to be read? Upanishads, Vedas and more - truly it will take me years to go through them, so there are priorities.

«Not Know Him like Jesus knows Him. But know Him still well enough.»

Please do not be discouraged: is this all you hope? is this all you offer? I tell you, if you are dedicated, one-pointed and desperate enough, reject the world and you can reach God in this very lifetime: your body is much younger than mine, so you have the time!

«Hope that if God ever calls out you can say "yes Lord, here I am." As many of the prophets had done and then did as they were instructed.»

Thank you, I hope so too.

«Seek Jim because it is worth while to do so»

Sorry, but I will not be seeking Jim or any other person - I want God and God alone.
A bit more spelling-check can express better respect for God.

Sorry, my last post belong elsewhere. Please ignore it.
