- Ed, as I said I do not insist on proofs. I insist on
- 'realizable truth'. If you want to realize India, buy air ticket
- (around $1300) to New Delhi, you will realize India. If you can't
- then 'believe' me India does exist. It is just like you believed
- Armstrong that he landed on the Moon.
-
- The knowledge of the Vedas depends on the revelations and experiences
- of the Vedic rishis through the Yoga technology. I can't prove
- to you the Vedic knowledge but I can discuss its logistics that makes
- sense to a rational mind. If you are not interested in it that is
- fine.
-
- No bickering please. Let us get into serious discussions. I am
- changing my signature so that you guys may feel confortable. It is
- obvious that there is wide gap between you and me. If we cannot
- abridge the gap, let us try to understand each others differences.
- That is what I meant by "learning to disagree" not "agree to
- disagree" because later is not possible as Mr Fafat mentioned.
