| Saturday, April 14, 2007 These limits were the obstacle. The love not only was served-would to the family and the nation but to this entire universe, including the animal and enemies also. For the services did not have the friend and did not have the opponent, there was no distribution was based on the nation, there was no difference between humankind and the animal, all was loved as loving the Lord personally. Moreover the services regarded the Lord was to all the creatures, to the child, the wife, in fact to the enemy who wanted to kill himself. The services headed to universalism and higher from humanism. The good example that could be seen by us from stories was the Sutasoma story, where in the story was mentioned Sutasoma saw a tiger wanted to eat his child because hungry him, Sutasoma obstructed the tiger ate his child but as his replacement of Sutasoma was willing to hand over himself to become the tiger meal. Already could we copy the Sutasoma action if already could then you including. In the stage of the services. The need of the spiritual teacher. By reading religious books not yet could guarantee someone to become spiritual. Prof. Hoykaas studied and wrote many books concerning the Hindu religion but he himself did not embrace the Hindu religion. Everyone had holy scripture the Koran, Bible and Veda, without being given his key by a book Teacher continued to be dry words. The teacher knew the spirit what was written from the Holy Scriptures. The teacher led students like the guide who led the person that deviate in the forest. The religious teaching that was full of the symbol, particularly the Veda book that the teaching for primitive humankind until humankind that will come to not find it easy to be experienced fully without the guidance of a teacher. A Teacher not only gave knowledge but also invested the conviction about the Lord. A spiritual Teacher became the example and the living model in the religious experience. | |||
