Buddha kept silent about God

Buddha kept silent about God. This means that God is beyond words, mind and logic as said in the Veda. Buddha means the Buddhi or Jnana yoga that speaks about the absolute God. Thus He is the greatest incarnation of God. If one thinks Him as atheist, there can be no better fool. Mohammed showed the formless medium in which God exists, which is energy and this is presented by Shankara, because basically energy and awareness are one and the same. The prophet itself means human incarnation. Prophet is carrying on the message of God. The divine knowledge is in Him. Is He not greater than other human beings? Message of divine knowledge is the characteristic of God (Satyam Jnanam � the Veda) and so we say God is in Him. Why do you deny it, when God is omnipresent? Then every human being should give the same message of God, since God is omnipresent. But why Mohammed alone gave it? Because the power of God or knowledge of God is in him only. Then the power of God, in the form of knowledge is not omnipresent. In any case, you have to accept that either God or His Power is only in Prophet Mohammed. That is what human incarnation is. You are fighting with us, without analysing the concept of human incarnation. Thus Buddha, Mohammed and Shankara have made the single phase, which was essential to the level of the followers at that time. The concept of human incarnation was well established by Krishna and Jesus. You can find all three branches of Hinduism (Advaita, Visishta Advaita, Dvaita) in Christianity because Jesus told that He and God are one and the same (Advaita), that He is the son of God (Visishta Advaita) and that He is the messenger of God (Dvaita). The stage of philosophy was expressed according to the required stage of the people of that time.

O wise one smile.gif; would it not be better to put your comment in the form of questions? Like, for example, since the "facts" of his life were not written down until long after he died, what evidence do we actually have that he never spoke of God? If Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha (the Christ?), literally did not speak of God, does this mean that he was an atheist? If not, was he a thiest? What kind of a theist was he? In his silence was he trying simply to avoid objectifying G�D as a personal being? BTW, this what I attempt to do, in my singature.

Dear Lindsay, "words" are always object of misunderstanding and misunterpreting.We can all around the world using the same language , but given the "heart" of people are controversial , not any logical argument and talk about God can persuade another one. A saying tells us : "much more you talk about IT , you cover IT with another veil".

It is good to dialogue, even when we disagree...as long as we agree to disagree, agreeably. smile.gif BTW, what is you faith backbround, Buddhist? Hindu? Jewish? Christian? Or what?
