I feel that Cale re...

Nation Of Israel Jesus Christ
1,147 wordsPhilosophy of Religion There are two very simple and easy facts. One of them is felt by reverence and the other by experience. The fact which is felt by reverence is that god always pervades everywhere without any change. Several ages pass away, several Brahmas (creators of god) change, but the supreme essence remains the same. The fact which is felt by experience is that the whole world is kaleidoscopic; it is changing every moment and is turning to naught. Thus there are two facts: 1) God who ...
