(Response to 2.C.1 From the Gospel of John, Chapter 3, presented by PiotrSikora)
In the spirit of finding not the similarities but the resonating notes on the Hindu chords it is interesting to note that the human being is taken to be a composite whole of the Atma (Soul) and a body. The parents give birth to the physical body and the guru, through initiation, gives birth to the soul, opens the gateway to spiritual life. Thus “twice born” is a spiritual seeker. Initiation into the spiritual life is a must for all. The twice born ceremony also called Upa Nayana, when a spiritual master brings a seeker nearer to our spiritual source, the divine.
