Mind Not A Fluke And Is

I read an interesting article,excerpts I am providing below.

Indian Philosophy states that the universe, let alone mind is 'Leela'

Lila (Sanskrit: लीला, IAST līlā), or Leela is a concept within Hinduism literally meaning "pastime", "sport" or "play(wiki)

According to Religious texts, As different from Philosophical Texts, th universe is God's Leela or pastime ,play.

But the word 'leela' conveys more , that can not be expressed in English.

It is more than a pastime, though unintended as we can perceive.

The Sankhya Philosophy lists the two fundamental principles, Purusha and Prakriti.

The world of Names and Forms evolved out of the 'sprasa matra' by their 'touching' each other, here again 'sparsa is more than touching.

As the root causes are Principles we can no bet attribute Motives, so in this sense ,Mind is either or neither intended or unintended.

The Non Dualism of Advaita states the whole world is not real, has only transitory existence and as such is both real and unreal, depends on one's stand point.

So Mind is a Fluke and not a Fluke at the same time.

The term inevitability is purely subjective and it depends , again on one's perception.

India’s Cyber Attacks

At the risk of being called unpatriotic, , while commenting on the beheading of Indian Soldiers by Pakistan,I remarked that though the attack by Pakistan was vile, India was/is not as pure as snow and if it were to be so, it had no business in the comity of nations

It India too indulges in crossing the border.

As expected i received hate mails.

Well, truth is truth.

Now it transpires that India leads Cyber attacks on Pakistan to such an extent that it is called 'India's new Outsourcing Business!"

Nothing wrong, but India might stop whining when some one else does and handle it with appropriate response.
