Well lets be honest here... Im Jain.... for people who dont know what that is lemme try to explain in a nutshell..... we believe in the philosophy of ahimsa or non violence....we are strict vegetarians who allow the consumption of milk and follow the teachings of mahavira and the other teerthankaras who we believed achieved a state of all knowingness or moksha....
Now that, thats outta the way i was just wondereing whether we should follow the teachings of these revered people without ever making anychanges to them....
Im not an atheist but i am a skeptic at believing that a group of people or one person would know everthing and never make a mistake... maybe that is possible and maybe not bu thte thing is that if it isnt then why dont we change our beliefs every so often... i mean allow our beleiefs to change with the times....
i mean human civilisation atleast the bulk of it has been advanced by observation and optimization....
even astrology for that matter which in my honest opinion is the summarisation of the generalised observation of millions of people who inhabited this earth before us coalesced into one dramatic unveiling.....
so is it ok to not change, is it ok to modify our beliefs accordingly or should we continue along the path shown to us even though our minds and hearts may tell us otherwise....
this eternal debate may rage on and i will express my views on this from time to time....
Till Next Time...
See-Ya!!!
