Think one objective reality and billions of subjective interpretations 

if arjuna expressed morality, and krisna the devine gift of free will, is the bhagvad gita a manifesto of human devinity?

My philosophy
The only choice we're given is God is everything or non-existent
There can only be one creator
And we are it
And philosophy is an excuse for the way things are
And we're all musicians playing the same song in as many different ways as possible

Spiritual Warrior by Challenger

"i know something that could survive this life" he said, 
"your soul?" i answered
" i don't know what the soul is" he said, "but i know what this is, and so do you"
"what?" i asked,
"i'm not sure if it can or will" he replied, "but conscious could survive"
"the biggest lie" he said, "is there is anything but the eternal"
