Why don't you go back to plebbit or whatever shithole you crawled out of? Christianity is acceptable but implying that it is the "truest" religion? Delusional faggotry

dont read Guenon he is not needed for any study of Sanatana Dharma
>>20631937
Read Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's translation, Bhagavad Gita As It Is, 1972 MacMillan edition. After that read The Krishna Book. While doing both these things, read Introduction to Sanatana Dharma by Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya.

Orthodox Christianity is the only true and acceptable religion to God. To think otherwise is utterly delusional in light of the prophecies that have come true, the miracle-working saints, the intellectual and mystical richness, and the beauty of its liturgical worship. Worshiping idols and cows is cringe

Jesus Christ himself would smack you for being so goddamn retarded. Nobody here is worshiping idols except christcucks and their jew on a stick. Who is quoted word-for-word in your book as saying "Ye are Gods" in Psalm 82:6 and "He who believeith on me, the works that I do shall he do also" in John 14:2. Let me spell it out for you: God is a oneness. The kikes who created your cattle-slave-nigger religion know this, almost eveey other religious type understands this, except for you braindead orthodox troglodyte cunts. I cannot stand people like you who cannot read. YOU are cringe. Pick up a fucking book and learn a language sometime, so you can actually understand the poetry you're failing to interpret

The answer is start with Guénon Introduction to Hindu Doctrines =>
Studies in Hinduism =>
Man and His Becoming According to the Vedanta =>
Then Read Atma-Bodha, Shankaras Upanishad Commentaries and so forth.

That is the way to go about it, I would also recommend studying other traditions too, you will find yourself wanting to at some point, but this is a good foundation - also it's not all theoretical, and so forth.

What am I to make of this? It's a stupid thing to say.
>Nobody here is worshiping idols except christcucks and their jew on a stick.
The whole point is "idolatry" is not the right way of looking at things, your statement here is meaningless.
>Who is quoted word-for-word in your book as saying "Ye are Gods" in Psalm 82:6 and "He who believeith on me, the works that I do shall he do also" in John 14:2. Let me spell it out for you: God is a oneness.
And? Do you think Christians don't understand God monadically, etc.

The Logos of God is like a grain of mustard seed (cf. Matt. I3:3I) : before cultivation it looks extremely small, but when cultivated in the right way it grows so large that the highest principles of both sensible and intelligible creation come like birds to revive themselves in it. For the principles or inner essences of all things are embraced by the Logos, but the Logos is not embraced by anything. The grain of mustard seed is the Lord, who by faith is sown spiritually in the hearts of those who accept Him. He who diligently cultivates the seed by practising the virtues moves the mountain of earth-bound pride and, through the power he has gained, he expels from himself the obdurate habit of sin. In this way he revives in him self the activity of the principles and qualities or divine powers present in the commandments, as though they were birds.

- Maximus the Confessor

My Self within my heart is smaller than a grain of rice, smaller than a grain of barley, smaller than a mustard seed, smaller than a grain of millet, smaller even than the kernel of a grain of millet. The Self in my heart is larger than the earth, larger than the mid-region, larger than heaven, and larger even than all these worlds. He who is the sole creator, whose desires are the desires of all, whose odours are the odours of all, whose tastes are the tastes of all, who is everywhere, who has no sense organs, and who is free from desires—he is my Self and is in my heart. He is no other than Brahman. When I leave this body, I shall attain him. He who firmly believes this has no doubt in his mind. This is what Śāṇḍilya has said.

- Chandogya Upanishad

I would say honestly, that maybe you grew up in an environment- were religiously indoctrinated, and then maybe this is like a sort of "breaking free" "liberation" moment, I have interacted with many people who were like ex-mormon, who cry about the whole Death to christcucks shit, and are these larpy natsoc hari Krishnas ISCKON devotees, it's an egoic cult, but if that's what is required for you to feel empowered then good on you.

Oh my god this thread is so fucking retarded and almost all of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Only suggesting digestions of Hinduism rather then the actual texts themselves, tsk tsk.

That's like saying "Don't read The Bible! Read Thomas Aquinas and stop there."

There is something seriously wrong with you people.
