"If there is a definition of sin.....then it definitely applies to the place of ever leaving that Love, of ever forgetting that love, of Guru Maharaj Ji ">Wow. And I thought the Jewish guilt trip was heavy. On one hand he says what he says in the above quote, and then somewhere else at another time he says he is with you even in your darkest hour and will never forsake you...and what hour could be darker than the hour one forgets their Lord? I am going with the second choice, that 'darkest hour' scenario.
" And if we forget who we really are......then thats almost like commiting suicide, that's almost like dying" -Prem Rawat
>It is ironic that this quote from Prem Rawat would show up on my screen on Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement (at-one-ment). I pasted in a quote about merging with God I was reading just now and it has a better feel than what Prem said above:
"To atone is to be at one with God, to sink self into the
not-self, to achieve a mystic unity with the source of being, wiping out all error and finding peace in self-submergence."
- Goldberg, "The Wonder of Words"
