Lord Krishna is trying to say only two words in the Gita. People cannot understand those two words and that is why he had to create the whole Gita and just to understand the Gita, people have written commentaries. Lord Krishna, Himself says, "Only one out of a thousand people will understand the gross or overt (sthool) meaning of what I am saying in the Gita. Out of thousand such people, only one can understand the subtle (sookshma) meaning of what I am saying. Out of one thousand such people, only one can understand the subtler (sookshmatar) meaning, out of those who understand the subtler meaning, only one can understand exactly the essence (sookshmatam) of what I am saying."
What did Lord Krishna mean? When a person dies, what is it that leaves when people say, "He left the body?" That, which leaves, is the 'real thing' and whatever is left behind is the 'packing'. What you see with your physical eyes is the packing and the material (Soul or Atma) is within.
I was on another forum for years before I came here, one of my best friends was Hindu and because I am such an obsessive person, I made it my goal to study Hinduism to be able to have conversations with this woman.

I was completely shock at finding one link after the other. I am extremely well versed in Biblical prophesies and I was shock by how many I found in the Vedas, I mean I was shocked because I had no idea how many connection there are between the bible and the vedas. I really wished I still had the long post that I made back then. I had many old friends there for years, and they all told me it was the best thing I had ever written.


There can be no doubt that there is in fact a common source between the Hindu and the people of the bible.

The post is most likely archived so you should be able to find it if you remember the site and a bunch of tag words.

This is odd. I think having been booted your posts (under the handle of Jacob_Rising) may have been wiped altogether from that site.

I did manage to find one thread where there was an active discussion on the topic that you'd mentioned. Perhaps, if you scroll through it, you might find some reference to your old posts, if not the the actual posts (forgive me if it's the wrong site) - https://community.hannity.com/t/all-...-valid/150/435

Wow, saw some old friends thanks. The mods really hated me there, I am pretty sure they wiped a lot. At first I was Josephus Oliver or Hannibal_Flavius, so many years ago when so was much, very much different.

I was still Pentecostal back in those days and the one time that I really did something big, it freaked e everyone out, good times, good times. I had been banned and a year later I created another name but after a while, I could see how wrong it was no matter how bad I wanted to be there and so I created a thread in the moderator forum and came clean, it was a really awesome thread, they let me stay as Jacob_Rising, seems like a lifetime ago.

I was unlike for good reasons, reasons I continue working on.

Hey no problem. Wish I could've been more helpful. Glad you've managed to find this place and new friends.

P.S. Good on you for coming out to the mods and wanting to improve yourself.

Ch 11 v 38
You are the original Personality, the Godhead. You are the only sanctuary of this manifested cosmic world.
You know everything, and You are all that is knowable.
You are above the material modes. O limitless form!
This whole cosmic manifestation is pervaded by You!


Btw, I didn't realize - I started a similar thread in 2013!!
I should have just brought that back up! Sorry.

Ch 7 v 8-9

Arjuna, I am the taste of pure water and the radiance of the sun and moon.
I am the sacred word and the sound heard in the air, and the courage of human beings.

I am the sweet fragrance in the earth and the radiance of fire;
I am the life in every creature and the striving of the spiritual aspirant.
