Do you believe in reincarnation?
Do you believe in heaven?
These are metaphors.

Reincarnation is purgatory.
if one dies with such a fixation on the things of the world that one’s spirit is not ready to behold the beatific vision,then one has to undergo a purgation.one has to be purged clean of one’s limitations.The Limitations are what are called sins.

Sins are besically limited factor that limits your consiousness.

तेरा मिलना मुझे गवारा हुआ,

और मैं पहले से ज़्यादा आवारा हुआ !

इश्क़ के राह मे मर
जाएंगे लगता है,

फिर से ये भरम हमें कब दुबारा हुआ?
मै अबतक बैठता रहा तेरी ताक मे,
इस मोड़ पर,

तुम्हारे गाव के रस्ते का उधर से कब किनारा हुआ?
तुम डरती तो बहुत थी
बिछड़ जाने से,

तुम्हारा ये डर कब हमारा हुआ

Ritual introduces you to the meaning of what’s going on.

Saying Grace before meals let you know that you are about to eat something that once was alive.

One day I went to buy fish, I saw a middle aged woman and man sitting on the ground with a basket on the side of the road. I asked how to give fish, they said 123rs per kg.
I said this second one, they said 200!
Then I said it’s okay, give me something else from the other one, I want to eat after roasting.
And on this he told me very angrily.
Don’t speak like that.
And I fell silent.
Then after some time I asked, did I say wrong,
They said ,
You shouldn’t say like that.
You should say give it to me, I will make it and not roast it.

Life lives on life.
and you grace other sacrifices.

Saying roasting is just like humiliation of sacrifice.

The function of ritual is to give form to human life not in the way of a mere surface arrangement but in the depth.

The battle field is symbolic of the field of life in which all creatures survive because of the death of others .

The essence of life is that it leaves by killing and eating. And that is the great mystery That myths have to deal with.

The primitive people that live by killing have to reconcile the psyche to this thing because for them the animals are menifestations of the devine power.
Not only that:they are wearing the skins of the animals,their tents are made out of animal skins,and so they are living on the death of all the time in a sea of blood.

God is a symbol.The connotation of the symbol lies beyond all the naming,beyond all numeration,beyond all categories of though.
One often asks,”Is god one?,or is God many?
These,however,are categories of thought.

Transparent is beyond spcae/time.
All we think is a category of logic bound with space/time.

We can’t thing beyond space time.

All five senses are bound with space time.

God is neither one nor many.
All numbers are category of logic.
