Is there a God

Query: Is there a God? Proof God Exists!

Vijay Kumar:
If God did not exist ... you would not be asking this question ... for you would not have been here in this world! We all Human Beings are the result of a creation of God Almighty.

It is but true that Cosmos is also beginning less. Both the statements cannot be true ... yet, it is the truth. If we say the glass is half full ... we are right and if we say the glass is half empty ... we are still right! Why do we say that the cosmic system is without a beginning ... it is because when we try to visualize the boundary of the cosmos it does not seem to exist ... and if we say it does exist then what beyond. If we say that God exists ... then also it is wrong because there must be someone who created God. We need to understand the total concept of Cosmos in its entirety.

First of all we need to understand that the form of God is Nirakaar (without a form) ... it is never Sakaar (having a form). God, the omnipotent Creator is a form of energy ... and energy that is beyond the comprehension of a normal human being. Only when one realizes God can one visualize the power we know as God.

Literally speaking ... the definition of God is thus, "the combined power of all Atmans souls in the Cosmos in their purified state is what we know as God". At the time of Big Bang and also at the time of pralaya in Hinduism ... the period when the dissolution of cosmos occurs ... in both the stages of the cosmos ... the beginning and also the end of cosmos ... the size of God is but half the size of a thumb ... this means that all Atmans souls in their purified state combine together to form the size of only half a thumb ... this has been the stated in the Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna. This is an irrefutable fact ... none can deny the efficacy of this. It is absolute truth.

So much power contained in so less a size ... the energy cannot contain itself even for a fraction ... the moment the complete dissolution of cosmos occurs ... it again explodes with a Big Bang ... and starts another Cosmos ... a new Cosmos. All Atmans which are initially in the purified state get scattered all over the Cosmos ... this journey continues for millions and billions of years ... comes a stage when the Cosmos ... the cosmic gases cool down to form galaxies and stars and subsequently solar systems and the planets. It is only when earth type of planets gets created which is conducive for an atman the soul within to manifest ... does life form starts developing. In the real meaning a live Cosmos now the starts to live and breathe. Until the first life form manifests ... it was a dead Cosmos without life.

For an atman soul to manifest ... it needs a body ... the body can be of an insect, a plant, animal and human being. But, the complete cosmic system is governed by the theory of evolution... it is not that an Atman can manifest the body of a plant in its first manifestation ... it initially starts as an amoeba (single cell formation) subsequently it evolves into a two cell formation ... a Jiva (living being) and then a multi-cell formation. Subsequently as cosmic life progresses it evolves into a plant. This plant evolves into an animal and the animal finally evolves into a human being.

This whole process of the evolution ... the complete cosmic cycle in the life of an atman the soul within takes a total of 8.4 million manifestations (the cosmic travel of about 96.4 million years) ... it is only when the 8.4 millionth manifestation is achieved does a body gain Moksha Salvation. Moksha Salvation announces the completion of cosmic journey undertaken by atman the soul within. Moksha Salvation having achieved ... atman the soul within gets liberated forever from the cycle of birth and death (the cycle of 8.4 million manifestations).

It is quite clear that it is atman the soul within which needs a body to purify itself ... and it is not the body which has taken the Atman. The physical manifested life of a Jiva (living being) is but to live ... we cannot do without ... we come unto this world not of our own making ... we leave not of our own will! How much we shall live in the present physical life is purely dependent upon the residual Karma of past lives. and how long we really live depends upon the resulting residual Karma ... the residual Karma of past lives and the Karma of the present life.

The left-hand of a person signifies the complex structure of the complete lives we have lived till now ... whereas the right-hand reflects only the Karma of the present life. If we observe the lines in our right-hand changing fast ... yes, it is because we are evolving at a faster pace. The palmists are never able to study our left-hand ... they can only read the right hand ... it is only seeing the right-hand they are able to predict our feature or the present ... only then we come to know what God has in store for us (;-)

When we leave the body ... whatever be the stage of residual Karma ... be it papa Karma or Punya Karma will be the deciding factor what our next manifestation would be. Nothing is left to chance ... nothing is disordered in the system of God. Stephen Hawking in his famous book "a brief history of time" has indicated that the system of God is disordered at some stage. It is a wishful thinking ... it is a thinking of the ignorant one (:-( ... it is the thinking of a scientist and a physicist ... Spirituality start where science ends. It is not but within the grasp of the scientist or the physicist to understand the cosmic system.

If we need to see the whole of New York we need to climb up the Empire State building. Standing on the fourth floor we cannot expect to see the whole of New York. Science has its limitations ... it was meant to assist the physical manifest form (the form of a human being) ... not within. It was never to be used as a yardstick by the scientific community for venturing into the domain of God ... the domain of Atmans souls. Albert Einstein is stated to be the only person in the whole of the scientific community who used his head four per cent ... meaning that only 4% of his brain was activated and the 96% had yet to be evolved.

Even Albert Einstein regretted the fact that for the whole of his life he wanted to understand Spirituality from the point of view of science. He was at fault ... he admitted his fault ... but it was too late ... it was the end part of his life. By the time he switched over to Spirituality seeing it from an unbiased point of view (not how as a scientist or a physicist looks at it) ... it was but not possible for him to learn the intricacies of Bhagavad Gita. He tried his best but failed. Albert Einstein wanted to understand the crux of Bhagavad Gita in the present life ... maybe he gets time in its next manifestation (;-)

Only after one realizes God that ... we can use hundred percent of our brain ... the moment the kundalini is fully awakened after having practiced Celibacy for a continuous period of 12 years minimum ... it is no looking back. We have finally crossed the threshold of humanity ... we have stepped into the domain of God. There is no returning back ... it is not permitted. Once the flower has bloomed it cannot be turned back to its original form, a bud. The moment one reaches the Mount Everest of his cosmic life ... it is all over with him.

One gains his pure self ... one has become a living atman the soul within. From now onwards one shall live as a completely detached being ... as lived king Janaka (father of Sita in Ramayana). King Janaka very faithfully carried out the duties as a king ... and simultaneously he also Realized God ... he looked after the affairs of this country as a detached being ... never considering the fruits of his Karma as his.

The pioneer of technological development in our country ... the scion of the Tata group ... JRD Tata was a Karma yogi par excellence. It is difficult to see the likes of him more in the country. Here is a man ... the controller of about $4 billion worth of corporate world ... yet he never built a house. Why? If at the dead of night he desired a cup of his favorite coffee ... then either he would have to wake up the wife of one of the richest and most powerful businessman of the country ... or else prepare the coffee himself.

It was not to be. Instead ... he built a suite for himself in one of the best hotels built in the country ... the famous Taj Palace Hotel adjoining gateway of India in Bombay. He built not one but two suites ... one was meant for him and the other to be rented out to only the corporate heads and chief executives apart from the prime ministers and the presidents of various countries.

It was then a coincidence ... or the grace of God that once in a while JRD Tata while traveling in the lift met a top executive or a president and finalized a deal worth millions of dollars ... he never failed an opportunity! A wishful thinking indeed! Instead of disturbing his peacefully sleeping wife he just used to press the right button and lo! There was his cup of coffee waiting at the door to be served by his favorite chef. JRD Tata had a row buttons each meant for a specific task. He lived happily in his suite.

He always used to say that God has sent him for a specific purpose ... and to be concentrated on the purpose ... the goal of his life ... where is the need for building a golden empire ... houses decorated with golden and silver linings and what not. He lived as a true trustee. According to him everything belonged to God ... he was here to look after the same on behalf of God. What a noble person he was. We truly miss him.

Here I would like to explain the concept of Karma- While proceeding on the path of spirituality every seeker is required to perform the Karma in a manner that we always keep ourselves dissociated with the fruits of Karma performed by us ... the fruits of our Karma are not ours ... why? It is possible that whatever Karma we are performing now ... it may bear fruit in the fourth manifestation from now on (that means we shall only be able to realize the fruit in the fourth life in the future ... the fourth body our atman the soul within shall take in the future after the present life.

And as we do not know what that manifestation shall be and as the two manifestations ... the present and the future manifestation (the fourth one) are not just connected ... it is rightly said in the Bhagavad Gita that we need to perform Karma with a detached attitude as the fruits of all Karma always belongs to atman the soul within ... which is the only permanent factor passing on from one life to another.

For the present body to avail the fruit of the present Karma in the fourth manifestation from now is just not possible ... as the present body shall decay and die ... atman the soul within only shall continue with the journey. For Atman it is one long cosmic journey of 8.4 million lives ... it is atman the soul within, which is enjoying the fruits of our labor ... the Karma performed by the body. We have to abide by this cosmic ruling ... it is just not within our control to mould it.

Here we need to understand the evolutionary system as advocated by Charles Darwin ... it is the survival of the fittest ... one cannot do without ... we need to carry on and on. After having manifested as an insect, which also may take millions of years... the next manifestation is that of a plant life. It so happens that even different types of plant life which is still evolving takes millions of years and comes a stage when it further requires to upgrade. In the cosmic system all upgrades are free only that we are required to perform the requisite Karma. Not as the system on the Internet ... most upgrades come with a cost! After all where does Bill Gates think will he take all his money when the opportune time comes (;-)

This plant who desires the next generation of manifestation prays to God, "Oh God, what wrong have I done ... comes the breeze and either I sway ... and if the breeze is stronger and my humility does not permit me to bend beyond a certain limit ... I get broken. Please, oh God relieve me from this dilemma ... it is really painful! and low ... the plant gets the form of an animal in next manifestation ... as soon as there is a breeze ... it runs and hides in a cave.

After spending millions of manifestations as an animal ... comes the stage when the animal prays to God, "Oh God", what wrong have I done ... whenever there is a flood ... even though I am in my secure tunnel ... I get drowned. My legs do not support me and cannot take me faster than the speed of the waters so that I can run and save myself. God takes pity and the animal gets the next manifestation ... the ultimate in the cosmic system ... the form of a human being.

Now, this wise animal can run and even run faster than the speed of sound (there is no gadget it can not invent). Apart from all the abilities that existed in the plant and the animal ... this human being has the power to think ... whenever there is a flood he never enters the tunnel ... he climbs to the top of the mountain ... it has the power to save itself for it can think. It cannot only think but it can also discriminate and live happily.

Now discussing further the Sakaar form of god ... it is a necessity because the egoistic human being is not willing to consider himself lower than God ... he assumes God to have a form ... only then it is able to live happily. The poor animal! Is it difficult to imagine the power of an Atman ... yet, every normal human being wants to visualize only a Sakaar form of God. It can also be said that for normal Human Beings it is difficult to concentrate on the power we know as God.

So it has installed various images of God in the temples and worships these forms as representative of God Almighty. There is no harm at all but if we continue thinking that God has a Sakaar form ... it is entirely wrong ... for we shall remain wherever we are ... to climb up the ladder of Spirituality ... we have to take the path of Nirakaar (formless) form of God. It is an almost must.

It is only because of this Sakaar form of God that people face difficulty in Meditation (in performing the correct Yoga) ... Yoga means creating a synthesis between the atman soul and the Parmatman (Creator) ... the desire of atman soul to become liberated and join the Parmatman (the bigger whole) at the earliest is what we know as Yoga (yog in Hindi) ... the efforts of atman the soul within to join with ParmAtman soul is termed as Yoga.

Yoga (Meditation) is not required to be performed sitting in a black room with lights switched off and concentrating on the center of a small-lit bulb. Yoga means concentrating on the Nirakaar (formless) form of God ... and while practicing Neti ... and negating everything but God ... a day comes when we come become face-to-face with God. This is a stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi (the state of absolute nothingness).

I also need to explain that why the Cosmos is said to be beginning less ... when the cosmos does not seem to have a boundary ... Ramakrishna Paramhansa ... the man who Realized God in the last within 150 years stated that when the cosmos does not have a boundary and does not seem to exist ... it is all an illusion. It is but our ignorance that is projected to us. This he called the concept of Maya (ignorance) ... according to this concept the whole Cosmos is but a thought of God.

We have dreams ... in the dreams we may have a family ... we may live a long life ... yet when we get up ... all vanishes. So what was it all ... whatever existed in the dreams where is it now. Where did it vanish! How? According to the concept of Maya (ignorance) ... the whole Cosmos is but a dream of God and the whole manifestation is working as was working in our dream. The moment the god wakes up ... all shall vanish ... and this shall happen at the time of dissolution of cosmos (pralaya in Hinduism). This concept cannot be negated ... it can only be clearly understood as we proceed higher on the Spiritual platform. It is but true that the whole Cosmos is but a thought of God.

Let me clarify this by a different example- It is stated that our whole body is a mini Cosmos in itself. Now, if we visualize the whole concept of the body ... then we find it consists of multiple types of cells, bacteria and viruses and what not. Imagine all these entities to be living beings. They are born ... they live life as the Human Beings live ... they rear a family ... a married life ... children ... and then they die. Everything goes on but we are never disturbed because of their functioning. The whole Cosmos runs within us yet, we are not affected by it.

Now imagine the whole system from the angle of miniscule bacteria... that can but be seen only through a microscope. For these bacteria a complete human being is but the size of the cosmos ... it cannot be visualized ... like we cannot visualize the boundary of the cosmos. Where is the difference! Difference only lies in the perception!

The concept of Maya advocated by Ramakrishna Paramhansa, the guru of Swami Vivekananda is foolproof ... no denying the fact! There is nothing beyond we can do about. We did not come unto this world of our own ... we have but come (our coming was based on the residual Karma of past lives) ... we came on to this earth as we came first in the race ... and having taken a birth we are not to while it away ... we need to live it ... we need to let Atman (the soul within us) reach its cosmic end.

It is the duty of the body to assist atman the soul within ... if for any reason we do not want to help Atman within ... we desire to commit suicide ... does it mean that the life shall not go on ... it is not so ... because of the Karma of the present life ... if we had the body of human being in present life ... it is but possible because of the papa Karma inherited (having committed suicide) that we may be given the body of an animal or even a lower platform. We must desist from such acts. We are not supposed to play with the system of his.

Now it is become clear to us ... there is an atman the soul within, which has taken a body ... the prime purpose of this body, is to assist atman the soul within to proceed on its cosmic journey and complete it at the earliest ... reach the 8.4 millionth manifestation in the shortest possible span of time. Does it mean that we can in the Spiritual realm cut short the journey? Yes, it is permitted. If we started on our journey from New Delhi to Bombay on foot, it is but possible that by the time we reach the Taj Mahal, Agra ... We get to catch a flight to Bombay (this totally depends upon our residual Karma).

In whatever manifestation I may have been in this life ... at 11 years of age I decided to search for God. At 13 years of age that wish converted into a conviction. Come whatever may ... I shall leave everything ... even my parents and the house if need be and shall go in search of God and come face-to-face with him in the present life. I just have to do it ... after 25 years of patience practice of Spirituality ... I succeeded in having a Darshan of God Almighty (a one-to-one interaction with God, the Almighty). I Realized God.

I reached my 8.4 millionth manifestation. It was all over for me. I could have left my body there and then within three hours. It was not to be. I followed the path of Mahavira. Having gained enlightenment (Self Realization) at the age of 42 ... he preached what he had gained for a total of 30 years (owing it all to the grace of God Almighty) and took Moksha Salvation at the ripe age of 72.

Now I shall explain ... why it is not possible for atman the soul within to liberate itself from the cycle of various manifestations. Imagine one KG of gold existing in a hundred KG of gold ore. This one K. G. of gold cannot liberate itself on its own ... it needs to be processed through the various phases of mining and only then 99 KG impurities can be removed. The dross having removed ... this one KG of pure gold (Atman soul, in its pure pristine form) has liberated forever from cycle of Birth and Death ... this one KG of gold need not be processed again and again ... once the 99% impurities have been removed ... it shall always remain shining.

Having Realized God and till the time one retain the body until Moksha Salvation is achieved ... one needs to retain some impurities. Why? Once it so happened that while going up the lift to my office after having gained Realization ... I gained hundred percent purity while in the lift ... I was all alone ... my legs seemed to twist like rubber and my atman the soul within started lifting up. Immediately I recalled a bad thought ... I had gained impurity enough to stand up again.

Ramakrishna Paramhansa used to say that his fondness for preparing food for his pupils is nothing else but the impurity he is maintaining lest his atman the soul within leaves the body. This is an absolutely truthful fact and can be further explained thus. When we separate silver from the silver ore ... no sooner it is kept in the open for a few hours ... it reacts with oxygen ... now this shining slab of silver is no more visible ... it has taken a black coating. It cannot be recognized by normal Human Beings, yet ... the silver slab shall always remain pure. It need not pass again through the process of mining to shine bright ... it will only need a slight polish to come back to its original pristine pure form.

The whole process of evolution is primarily governed by doctrine of karma ... what shall our next manifestation be ... whether we shall take birth again in the house of a Prince or a cobbler ... is totally dependent upon the residual Karma up to the present life. Yes, once having born in the house of a cobbler ... if my eyesight fails me and I happen to gaze at the Princess through the veils ... it is only because of the grace of God. and if I decide there and then that I shall marry her and only her ... is it possible for a cobbler's son to marry a princess. Yes ... there are many instances in history which confirm this. How is it possible that a cobbler's son is able to marry a princess in his present manifestation?

It is like this- Because of the residual Karma of past lives ... he was born in the house of a cobbler ... but he decided to take the destiny in his own hands ... he performed Karma in present life which made him marry the Princess. This is possible if we take the destiny in our control. Bill Gates was practically thrown out of the school ... he probably did not grade well and to the expectation of teachers. Bill Gates did not believe in the judgment of his teachers ... he believed more in himself ... he had the will of iron ... he wanted something and went after that ... and now here I am working on my computer which has the world-famous software Windows 2000.

What is that thing in life that differentiates a king from a normal laborer? Is it not the thinking powers alone that call all the shots? Yes ... the power to think and think constructively is the domain of all those who have chiseled their destiny with their own hands and saw to it that they reach the goal of their life within this life itself. Who knows what we shall be in our next life for it is not the Karma of the present life alone that affects us. We do not know the resultant Karma of which life may affect us when? It is not necessary that whatever we are doing now shall bear fruit in the present life. It is possible that we may reap the fruits of the present Karma in the fourth manifestation from now on. This is how process of Karma works!

I have come across many people in life who ran away from their home in search of God without having burnt out their Karma ... this was also the path followed by Buddha. Just by touching the feet of his wife and the child at the prime of night ... he left his house. It was only after having spent a considerable time in the forests and also in the community that he Realized God at the end part of his life. But before achieving the stage of Self Realization (enlightenment) ... he had to burn out his residual Karma.

He Realized God at the ripe age of 81. He was so fed up of his life ... his body also had become seriously ill ... that the sooner he Realized God ... gained enlightenment ... he left his mortal frame. The path advocated by Buddha is henceforth known as the middle path. Nor in the jungles (dense forests) or while remaining in the family alone can one Realize God. According to him we need to take the middle path ... we need to take care of the family and simultaneously with a detached attitude continue proceeding towards the higher platform of the spiritual life. Slowly we shall be able to reach the ultimate goal of life ... the stage of Moksha Salvation.

May God bless you!
