Notes- Reaching Balance

mystery- dimension beyond all forms
Maya-true reality illusion of the world
-Cosmological divinity- maintain a society, laws values
-Pedagogical-how to live a human life, opens his eyes- world appears
-432,000 years -dies- drops of water; army of ants- "not fulfilling his darma but his ego"
-Samsara- never ending cycle of birth and death- return to the Bhrama-creator (Hindu triad)
-Hinduism as a 'religion' -code of conduct
-Teacher and parents bring you to God
- Join and believe to be a part
-3 paths to God:
   1) Devotion (devotee)- part of a religion community
   2) Ascetic-renounces the world to set closer to God achieve unity without divine
   3) Mysticism
-varna- casts
-7 centers the body- throat, heart, belly, reproductive organs, legs, area excrete waste,
Karma-every thought and action
-arta-material world
-kama-pleasure: emotions, physical; fulfilling darma reaches acceptance
-do it as well as you can- in what your doing Darma
-eternity way beyond we and my interpretation
