Hello. I had read the Isha Upanishad and had noticed a strange line that appears to contradict all the rest of Hinduism. Here is the line:
12. All who worship what is not the true cause, enter into blind darkness: those who delight in the true cause, enter, as it were, into greater darkness. Can anyone versed in such things help give an interpretation? At first glance it apears to condemn both the worship of Devas and even Brahman itself. AmateurThinker 01:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
They might be using "darkness" to mean two quite different things. There's the familiar usage meaning something empty or even evil, then there's another meaning like "the unknown". (Moving into the unknown might be a good thing, if you are the type of person who enjoys exploring new things.) StuRat 10:27, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, StuRat. I never thought of darkness being used as a metaphor for the incorpreal abstract. It all seems so simple in hindsight: ) AmateurThinker 20:29, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

So my friend. Do you believe in my Russell's teapot? Ohanian 10:00, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I just learned about Russell's teapot. It simply reinforced my former belief. Cranks might quibble, though.-- Patchouli 10:24, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Russell is not a reliable source concerning teapots:
[A friend] recalling that he and his wife once had to be out at four o'clock, just when Russell had to have the tea without which he was miserable. The wife therefore prepared everything, 'the tea in the teapot, cup and saucer ready, the kettle filled. Then she wrote out the instructions in chalk on the slate table in the kitchen . . . . When we came back at five o'clock Bertie was miserable and the tea was still unmade.'
