As you know all,Jesus ascended to heaven.That is a metaphorical way of saying something that is transcendent.

If we read it with its literal meaning. We lose its true meaning.

“Jesus ascended to heaven”
it seems that Jesus ascended to the sky.
Now we practically go to the galaxy even the speed of light,a million year takes to reach there .there is no such place in the universe.
It is not a denotation ,it’s a connotation.
Jesus has gone inward not into outer space. you can’t say something which is not available physically in space time.

Myth are clues to the spiritual potentialities of human life.
Nandi is the sacred bull of the hindu god Shiva.

Bull is symbolised here to your own spirit,your own bliss.just like a bull is free from the bondage of society or rules.your spirit is free from the bondage of instinct, which you need to survive.

Shiva is associated with the spiritual realm.

Follow your bliss ,you will get there.

there is a proverb in india.
If you say something you wish in the ear of Nandi(sacred bull).Shiva will fulfill it.
So,it is true in the metaphorical way.
if you are going to say something to Nandi ,it will never be fulfilled.

Spirit symbolizes in other religions like neutral angles,

#Rome
#vanaras
#Jerusalem

They don’t exist. There are a few historical spots where people may go to think about something important that happened there.
We may go visit the HOLY LAND, that’s the land of our religious origin.

But every land should be a holy land.
When you find your own central being.
That’s the holy land.

For example,

Buddha got enlightenment below the bodhi tree. It doesn’t mean the bodhi tree has magic to help enlightenment.

Prophet Muhammad spends many times in the mountains,and gets the message from Allah.

Jesus met with father in heaven.

All are metaphorical references to depth of being from where life comes out.

“Eternity isn’t some later time. Eternity isn’t a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now which thinking and time cuts out. This is it. And if you don’t get it here, you won’t get it anywhere. And the experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life.”

One side male and another side female.
Both figure just an archetype of duality.
Day -Night
Pleasure -Pain
conscious -unconscious

you are not any side.but in mid.
you are not on the surrounding ring but in the center.

When you don’t eat the forbidden fruit of the bible(duality).I mean you don’t choose duality.
Or you may follow Gita_ Do your duty.don’t accept the result.if you accept it,means you choose one side of duality.

Eternity is not the future or the past.
Eternity is a dimension of now.

मग़रूरियत सी आ गई है मेरे इस ज़हनियत में,
कुछ दिन क़ब्र मे लेट जाऊ की होश मे आ जाऊ।।

Arrogance has crept into my mind, Let me lie down in the grave for a few days, to come to my senses.
