Harihi Om

I beg to differ with you. It is one thing to claim a no return to this
material world but another to think that one is preparing for a new life
after this life. If you look around, most of the world religions are doing
the same. Christianity claims that unless one accepts Jesus as the savior,
one does not attain Heaven; muslims claim that killing those who are not
muslims is a way to attain Paradise and so on and so forth. If we accept the
claims of one religion, it will become difficult not to accept other claims
however ridiculous they might seem. It appears to me that our focus should
perhaps, be towards accomplishments of this life both material and spiritual.
If not for the former, many of us wouldn't find ourselves in this part of the
world and if not for the latter, we wouldn't be part of a forum such as this.
