MUSELI V GRANOLA

 Both muesli and granola are oat-based cereals that were created as nutritional supplements.

Most of their ingredients are the same. They typically include:

• rolled oats
• nuts like walnuts or almonds
• dried fruit like raisins, cranberries, apricots, or dates
• seeds like chia, sesame, or flax seeds

Additionally, they can include other grains like barley, quinoa, or millet. Both types are also easy to customize by adding extra ingredients like additional nuts or fresh fruits.

Thus, their main differences have to do with how they’re made and served.

The above-average effect explains why some people consider themselves superior at everything (and others below-average).

The above-average effect, sometimes known as illusory superiority, is a finding in social psychology that people tend to overestimate their abilities.

Whether it is driving ability, estimating IQ, health, memory, relationships and even happiness, people consistently rate themselves as better than others.

PROXIMITY V MERGER INTO BRAHMAN / NATURE

Advaitha versus dvaita which is more realistic?

Dwaita Vedanta believes in general science (sahaja jnyaana) rather than illusion which doesn’t exist. Someone mentioned about capability to accept colors as themselves as a context. Not every color is visible to the human eye (e.g., infrared, UV). Most leaves are green because they have chlorophyll which absorbs all other colors and reflects only green. Thus green is the color of the leaf. Further, butterflies can see ultraviolet and snakes can see infrared. We are all just gifted differently but isn’t one soul different from another? That’s what Dvaita says. It emphasises on reality based on general science. It should not be perceived as loukika jnyaana oriented.

Every Jeeva (soul) is different. Every soul has some unique attributes. Dvaita clarifies the difference between Jeeva and Paramatma, Jeeva and Jeeva, Jeeva and Jada (material), Jada and Jada, and Jada and Paramatma. The metaphysics of Geeta pre-supposes these distinctions.

Dvaita rejects the theory of union of soul with Paramatma after death. It emphasises the importance of knowledge and karma of that soul. If the soul has fulfilled its “nihita karma” and contemplates upon Parabrahma, his soul would attain the proximity to Him. The soul itself cannot become Paramaatma as Paramaatma is always the best, perfect, blissful and full of excellent qualities, whereas jeeva has many flaws.

In Advaita, “Paramam Brahma Veda Brahmaiva Bhavati” would mean that with the knowledge of Parabrahma, soul would become Brahma. In Dvaita, this would mean that knowledge of Parabrahma would give fullness to the soul, but cannot make him Parabrahma, Himself. This is because God is a separate entity who lives in bimbaroopa in everyone.
