hmm..I've read the Bhagavata-Gita by A.C. Bhaktivedanta and I think it
was he who said we should not compare ourselves to God...think about it,
even if the Atma is God, you CAN'T compare yourself to God still, do
you think you could handle his task(s) ??? far from it right ?
besides, if everybody would start calling himself God or act as if he
were God (whatever that may be) I think we wouldn't be writing these msg
so nicely here..instead we would be killing each other...or am I
too pessimistic ?

uhm..altough this msg was not aimed towards me...what if, like currently
in Holland there is some (fire) disaster going on, which is spreading
agressive chemicals in gas form ? you may need to evacuate...there you
are sitting in home, meditating...God will save you, your atma will save
you..yes...But you may not like the way in which it does...
Let him at least watch TV for the News than!
