Distinguish the limitation and Possibilities of Transcendence

The Limits and Distinguish of Human beings common to all Indian though:

It is the spiritual that endures and ultimately real. In Hinduism, the human
aspiration is move to the divine. What we believe is how we live; if our
believe are in error, then our lives will be unhappy.
There is a preoccupation with the inner life the road to enlightenment that
stretches not outward but inward. To understand nature and the universe, we
must turn within.
There is an emphases on the nonmaterial oneness of creation. This means
that there are no polarities; a single spirit provides cosmic harmony.
There is an acceptance of direct awareness as the only way to understand
what is real. The Indians find this direct perception though spiritual exercises,
perhaps through the practice of yoga. Reason is of some but in the final
analysis, it is only through inner experience of oneness in all creation.
There is a healthy respect for tradition, but never a slavish commitment to it.
The past can teach but never rule.

One on the other hand, the great thinkers of medieval philosophy emphatically
affirm the principle of the conjunction of faith and reason, and embody it in their
writings. However, their special quality lies precisely on their rejecting any such
rationalistic claim. According to St. Augustine, Si comprehendis , not est Deus
Whatever you understand cannot be God simply because you understand it. As
St. Thomas would affirm in the Summa Thelogica, God is honored by silence
not because we cannot say or understand anything about Him, but becausewe
know that we are incapable of comprehending Him.
St. Augustine of Hippo believes that tsunami, for instance, and other
calamities are part of natural evil. As opposed to moral evil, which arises with
virtual inevitability from the inherent imperfection of the universe as a created
and independent order, natural evil doesnt come from human but that is
natural. The root cause of both natural and moral evil leads to metaphysical evil,
which according to Augustine, pertains to certain imperfection that are inevitable
in a created and independent universe and thus, inevitable imperfection are the
source of many or all the other evils that occur in it.
However, the Indians concept of Brahman has similarity with Ludwig
Feuerbach, a German 19th century philosopher, who thinks that in the essence of
Christianity, a person is God and God is in the person. For Feuerbach (1980)
there is no distinction between God and human beings.
Evil and Suffering
Suffering is close to the heart of biblical faith. In comparison with the Buddha,
who saw life in suffering and tied to control instead of cursing it, Job of the Old

Testament, did not just complain. He cursed the day he was born! In a
phenomenological perspective, all of us will continue to assert our will against
other, adding to the overall suffering of human experience.
In Christianity, suffering leads to the cross, the symbol of reality of Gods
saving love for the human beings. Suffering, in Buddhism, gives rise to complain
for suffering humanity. Comparison is the heart of religion, but composition can
disappear from it. Religion, without compassions, becomes law and burden
imposed in its adherents. If there is no compassion, religion can start was that
destroys enemies. Jesus condemned religion without compassion and
constructed, thus, the parable of Good Samaritan.
