NOTHING IS ABSOLUTE IN THE RELATIVE WORLD OF EARTH, HEAVEN AND HELL

NOTHING IS ABSOLUTE IN THE RELATIVE WORLD OF EARTH, HEAVEN AND HELL

No book is holy and infallible. No man can be the perfect model for humanity and that, too, for all time.

Humanity evolves and rejects past beliefs to embrace new ideas based on reason, speculation and intuitive understanding that fulfil and do not contradict reason. This is a continuous process and not one fossilised in time which then dares, nonetheless, to stretch its rigid and stifling arms of influence into advancing times without itself advancing and adjusting to ever-altering circumstance.

Change is the law of relative life and no absolutist text can prescribe an inviolable way of living in sync with divine mandate. Nether is any mandate divine. They are all human impositions which to gain power over humanity dress up as the divine.

A changing world needs changing laws suited to altered circumstance. Thus, amendments to laws are forever necessary.

One more thing. There is nothing called God-given law. These are archaic misconceptions about human thinking as all such laws as well are man-made. No divine revelation is quite so divine for they are all perceived by man. Who has ever seen God beyond himself? All such visions and revelations are seen by man and cannot stand on their own as independent states. After all who reports it back to the rest of humanity? The seer himself who is a human being. Can cognition take place without the instrument of the mind? What role does an extracosmic God play there? If one is to talk about the Absolute Brahman, then the conversation has to change and lift to a higher level. But even then man is central to this discussion.
