Just because they stand?...enlightenment is not so cheap my friend.....

[tarantinoisahack]

The Indians are practising ascetism. Something that is lost on the lazy and indulgent Western world. They are putting themselves through trials in order to increase their will to power.This is the kind of thinking that leads to perfecting the human condition.

Babas are niggas that moved from Detroit to India

"i am going to stand for the rest of my life beacuse i am a stronger man than you, that will teach you for beating me for burning your bread.." that is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. i dont care how spiritual that is, it is just plain stupid. when he dies he will not be recognised and more or less than any other human on the face of this earth. no matter what religion you are, no matter how good or bad you are in your life its all the same shit. when your dead, your just dead

@hetismij21 im not saying to stop any culture like u thought i was, im justing saying its offending to say people should consider other religions because they look odd and dirty, in the same way people would find it offending if i said that i find it odd that people would sit in churches and talk to themselves be cause they are talking to the almighty which noones seen. Or how they think that they have been forgiven by eating crackers. ITs just a suggestion to make them athiest but its offensiv

[hetismij21]

@aurkomaitra i find using the word: 'bastard' not very tolerant either...i was just suggesting something. if you insist on being open minded you might as well consider re-thinking this 'rat temple' practise because a rat is seen as a pest and rat feces contain many viruses and diseases. but then again i take no offence of the word bastard. u will see that more young indians will question these old practises and they have the right to do so. perhaps a lil less rat petting would improve ur society

@Skumpaj lol

I admire them for their strength and discipline, and commitment to do what they vow to do. They do not break a vow just because of getting tired of doing it, or because it hurts to continue. Amazing, and this is spiritual.
