This is my favorite post Ashutosh!! Such simple and profound truths revealed. The journey inward resolves into the divine mystery…thank you for sharing.
“The devil was our own mind.” It’s interesting that in the Bible, although English translations invariably use “devil” or “Satan”, as if it is a separate person, the Greek and Hebrew words mean the deceiver, or the accuser, or the tempter. And that entity is our ego - not out there, but in each of us.
Yes. I have had conversations with my Greek friends who were so annoyed at the English translations, mainly because they learnt about this in their university and they have a totally different view of the Bible and other Greek mythologies. Also, I read Reality by Peter Kingsley and I was shocked to see how many words from the ancient Greek were translated wrongly into English.
