Yes, there could have been a third part. But apparently apart from you,sonhouse,voidspirit, nobody seems to be interested in what is that which Nachiketa's story actually contains. In this forum, the atmosphere has been vitiated probably beyond repair. Personal attacks are the favourite weapon and not many are interested in exchanging meaningful dialogues. I am therefore thinking that I will not post any more. Quite disheartening.

Dont let it get you down. I thought having sonhouse and voidspirit show interest was more than the average interst shown in such a story. Dont let the detractors voices get you down. I find that I have had many disheartening episodes on here where clearly the other was not willing to engage "in the spirit" of my posts. Counterbalancing this I have had more than my fair share of positive experiences on these waves.

Originally posted by divegeester How is disagreeing with someone's post a "personal attack"?
A few weeks ago, when rvsakhadeo found that we disagreed over our belief systems, he asked: "So why this self imposed restriction on imagination and thinking?" I think he just wants to assert stuff but not have it held up to any scrutiny.

I've not spoken with him much and I don't mean him any personal offence; but this idea (which I've heard a few times now) that spirituality is linked to or accessed through a certain level intelligence, can be quite offensive. Dasa is a big proponent of this and I wonder if it is a Vedic teaching or philosophy; it does seem to be.
He has stated above that it is not about any poster(s) in this forum, but that completely misses the point.

Am I mistaken, but isn't the Chess World Champion from India? I will
have to look that up. I remember some chess player from India was
very good.
P.S. Yes here it is: Viswanathan Anand

Thanks, karoly. I was very much down in the dumps when I thought of not posting in this forum again. But, on reconsidering, I am determined to put forth my views, no matter if it means suffering pinpricks from flippant posters or posters whose interest is basically in ridiculing others.

Just ignore the RJHinds of this world. He's just a bit like Dasa, that's all. Don't let these posters get to you.

I was interested -- and had time enough to go find the whole story (in several places; with slight variations) on my own. It's good, similar to one about Narada that I have posted a couple of times. In Narada's case, he does get distracted into another cycle of Samsara (if that's the right way to say it). This essential fact is pointed out to him in a humorous way -- the punch line being, "What took you so long?"
I agree with those who encourage you to keep on in this forum.
