Dinghyman I accept my battiness..........would you like to know what it is to be a bat? <g> You're right though. I believe what we called God is nothing except the force we call nature......and all that is natural.... ...seasoned by Time, Faith, Hope - for extra taste.... The sanskrit word Dharma originally stood for nature, and the natural behavioral characteristics of each living thing. As in "It is our Dharma to do this and that", really meant "It is in our nature or natural behavior to act this way.' Thus the dharma of a scorpion is to sting. The sting and the venom has its place in the universe and the balance of the world would change if the scorpion didn't do what was its dharma. And man is the only living entity capable of understanding this balance. Of course we are free to choos not to understand too, but that choice has certain repurcussions. Similarly The dharma of man is to be kind, and compassionate....etc. Over the centuries, the word dharma was distorted by the British, and now stands for religious duties especially of the hindu....Ha! those are totally unnatural IMO. - Natural Woman You make me feel.............
