Default Re: Why making God unfashionable never works..

Nice to see some thoughtful posts here, how about some of your favourite parts of the particular scripture you study, not too long eh!!

Ill start by giving a text from Bhagavad Gita.

Ch 6 Text 6

For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy.


I like this because it reminds me of how important it is to control ones senses such as anger, greed and violence etc, and it encourages the promotion of humility, goodness, pridelessness etc.
