I have recently discovered very interesting 'block' like, modern house architecture from Argentina. I suppose this works well in regions where there is much yearly sunlight, unlike here.
Preface
My first reply to tikno
tikno replied in the comments
Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, all complexity of the above definitions, philosophical ism, theological teaching, and academically / empirical study about the Divine above is just complicate my limited intellect.
I felt the presence of the Almighty (God) when the first time I went to obstetrician with my wife.
I looked inside my wife's womb through the ultrasound monitor. There is miracle in the womb. There is life. Humans only able to create robots. I felt His presence through my consciousness, not by academical understanding / learning nor by the scriptures.
Jesus came to this world in simplicity. The Divine simplicity is goodness. All the scriptures has been simplified into the Law of Affection. That's my simplicity.
God bless you.

The latest kind reply from tikno from my previous entry comments section:

There is daylight, there is night. Likewise, there is always goodness and evil in the human imagination. The two of them mingled in human desires. Fortunately, human race is different from animal. Human was blessed with a mind (intellect) with the hope to overcome wild desires. The decision (as a cause) is in the human hands. Its implementation (deeds) depends on their desires and decision. This mortal world is a testing ground for humans.
Perhaps this link have an answer for this complexity:
End of words, I'm just write my viewpoint and not intended for counterbalance.

I asked Lord Krishna to help me LOVE others, like He loves me.
Krishna said: Ohhh..., finally... you got the idea!

Although a biblical worldview does not view Krishna as Lord, we can agree that we are to love others.

Jesus Christ within the great commandment (Mathew 22, Mark 12, Luke 10), mentions that the second commandment is to love all persons as neighbours as one loves self. The first commandment to love of God with the fullness in mind and spirit. This is the God of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament. Some 'gospel' light can be shed even to the unregenerate outside of the Kingdom of God. Perhaps some that become regenerated, by the moulding of the Holy Spirit (John 3, Titus 3) will be impacted by both the love and truth within the Christian Church shown to them.

I am not a scholar on Hinduism, but I have studied World Religions within my BA/MTS degrees. I realize Hinduism has multifaceted views within. Buddhism as well has multifaceted views. However, philosophically, in general, if the human nature was indeed an aspect of the divine, we would all in humanity, be infinite, as opposed to finite. Moksha, as in seeking enlightenment and freedom from rebirths, would not be necessary; as in being part of what is infinite and divine, human beings would have no ontological needs. There would be no need to seek enlightenment and freedom as this would already be part of infinite, divine nature.
A development of moksha theory, is actually an unintended, backhanded admittance of the finite nature of humanity.
For other readers, I replied to tikno's views in the link above.
Further...
I have noted that logically and reasonably, 'cause' is not simply human cause as that is a finite cause. A primary and first cause, which is infinite is required. Indeed, human beings with nature, consciousness, desires and will, are judged for their deeds (Revelation 20), but in Jesus Christ, finite sinfulness of humanity is covered by the applied atoning and resurrection work of Jesus Christ (see Gospel of John, Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, Hebrews, as examples).
