[quote:Jdd:MV80NjkzMDNfNzIzNTQ1OF8xQjJFM0ZDMw==] Yes, I think that the mind, intelligence, false ego and all senses are capable of 'hearing' the sound vibration of Absolute Truth. The reason it's miserable to be living "in the flesh" is because when you're embodied in a material 'cage', you are forced by nature to suffer the pain of repeated birth, death, old age and disease. You are guaranteed to have to suffer these things -- there's no getting around it. Even if you skip what we call disease (like cancer) in a particular lifetime, your material body is still constantly degenerating as you move towards eventual death. None of these miseries are pleasant. If you can get 'off the wheel', and escape your material conditioning, and instead return to having a spiritual body, then you no longer have to suffer. You go back to the spiritual world and experience sat-cit-ananda – eternity, knowledge and bliss. This is what all souls yearn for, at the deepest level. So to the degree that reincarnation means you're a soul "in process", sure, it's all good. But don't hang around in your material skinbag just for grins. It's far more pleasurable to enjoy your spiritual senses by being in direct personal relationship with God than it is to stay stuck in a suffering material body just so you can enjoy (supposedly) your material senses… and that enjoyment is really only a temporary cessation of suffering. [quote::)(:] :)! How exciting! I've never heard of "Vaisnava" before :D! I like that definition of the God Force being Pure Sound Vibration. I feel I have felt this before. Do you think/know that this might be felt by all the senses rather than just heard? If all things are God then why is it miserable to be living in "the flesh" and experiencing reincarantion? Couldn't this be seen as a gift as well? Perhaps I missed this answer? All in all, I really, really enjoyed this definition. I love learning new things. I'm honored by your gift! [/quote] [/quote]
