Query:
I do not
believe in going to temples or worshipping god in daily life. I believe destiny
is in our own hands. Then why is god there?

My
younger daughter was so angry with God that why it had to be she who is to suffer
... probably her examination sheet was changed with that of the other. This anger
remained with her for a long period of time. She rather had lost complete faith
in God. Yet, she always kept the doors open ... it was sometimes later when I
was recuperating from an operation and the doctor had advised me to take a brief
stroll after the meals in the evening that she used to accompany me. She was absolutely
clear about her goal of life ... she was prudent enough to ask, whether she should
follow the path of truthfulness ... which is full of insurmountable difficulties
... and the other was the middle path ... sometimes being truthful and sometimes
not!
I
advised her to remain truthful for the full life ... she was somehow not convinced!
She wanted examples of people who had remained truthful and yet survived the society.
I could only give her one example ... the example of Mahatma Gandhi ... she refuted
saying Mahatma Gandhi was a political personality ... he indulged in social service
... for him ethics in business did not matter for he would never be required to
do a job ... serve someone other than the society. As she was to follow a career
in computer science ... she looked forward to a job in the field of computer sciences.
It was here she felt she would have to face the trouble ... dealing with the society
with full truthfulness was something troubling her.
This
became our daily routine ... I used to give her many more examples and insisted
upon her that she must not follow the path of untruthfulness ... she never said
yes or no! I inherently knew in the core of my heart that she would remain truthful
all her life ... how satisfying it is for me to see her pursuing the desired goal
in life with full truthfulness. I only pray
to God that she achieves whatever success she dreams in life! I am
not very sure whether she has again developed her full faith in God but I know
she is also not far away from God.
It
is only when we ask something of God and it is not given ... we lose faith in
the system of God! Is it right ... God shall never personally come and help us
... it can always send us help in form of a log, a boat or a helicopter. We need
to understand the crux of his system ... the moment everything becomes clear to
us ... we stop blaming God for anything. Praying to God ... asking for something
is something ridiculous. Materialistic riches are not bestowed upon us by grace
of God ... it is the result of our own Karma and nothing else. How much ever we
pray ... no boon shall ever be granted unless we do the requisite Karma.
I
have seen people working hard and promising God a donation of Rs five (say dollar
five) if they succeed in their exam ... when they finally succeed they go to the
temple and offer a charity of Paisa 25 (say $.25) ... why cheat God for it is
not possible for a human being to cheat God ... if we have succeeded in the exam
it is only because of our hard work and our faith in the system of God. Nothing
else had any role to play.
Now what is the doctrine of Karma? It is simple ... what we sow ... shall we reap
... nothing more or less! If only Human Beings could understand that destiny is
in our own hands and not in the hands of God ... it will be only a matter of few
days that we shall face Satyuga the golden era. Taking control of destiny is not
a difficult task ... but first we need to understand the process of how we can
control our destiny.
To
take control of our destiny first we need to establish a goal in our life ...
99.99% of the people in life never establish a goal ... yet all the time they
wish for something which they have not truly earned! God never bestows anything
without Karma ... it is only our Karma of the present or the previous lives which
shall decide the course of our destiny ... and as our Karma is in our own hands
... we can decide our destiny. Many people argue with me that it is not possible
for them to get out of the sins of past lives for the do not know anything about
them. This is where I shall be of help at a later stage.
I
am planning to bring out an e-book on "how to expiate for the sins of our past
lives" (this will be a priced publication ... slightly heavily priced as I need
finances to continue serving the society through the medium of Internet for the
time being and subsequently TV). If we can completely absolve ourselves of the
sins of past lives ... then there is no reason why we cannot take control of our
destiny in this life! This Mantra would be so enchanting that ... in the yester
years ... Saints and sages charged almost $1 million per person for the same (one
lakh per Mantra).
Having established a goal ... we must put all our eggs in one basket and pursue
it with all our might. There is no reason why we should fail. I had a goal in
life ... I wanted to meet God at the age of 11 years ... by the age of 13 my wish
had converted into a conviction. Even if I had to leave the family ... anything
whatsoever ... I shall go after my goal as if I was all alone on mother earth.
It was just not a feeling ... it was a conviction ... something which I had to
achieve in the present life. At 37 years of age God blessed me with his vision
... I had Realized God ... I had reached my 8.4 millionth manifestation ... I
have no life after this life ... I can only but take Moksha Salvation in this
life ... if I have done in ... So can you ... or anybody else.
If
you really desire that God should talk to you ... you need to rise above the ordinary
... you have to become a self-realized soul! You need to reach
the status of Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana ... in the
last 150 years only these two persons have Realized God. Swami Vivekananda, Acharya
Rajneesh aka Osho, Maharishi Aurobindo all failed to Realize God in their lifetimes
... you need to understand the meaning of Self Realization before you can proceed
on the journey.
Merely
wishing to talk to God is something like wishing for God to come personally as
done by the priest. You can keep on waiting for not one life but millions of lives
... God shall never come ... he shall never talk to you ... unless you perform
your Karma. By awakening your kundalini you need to come to the stage of Nirvikalpa
Samadhi ... A stage... when one can have one-to-one dialogue with God.
Having Realized God
I am able to talk to God every moment of my life ... does it mean that normal
Human Beings are not permitted to talk to God until they have Realized God ...
it is not so! By the grace of God every human being has the power to talk to God
every moment of his life ... yes, we can talk to God in a different manner ...
rather, we can try hearing God. The sweet small inner voice, which prompts us
from within and guides us on the right path always and ever ... the power of atman
the soul within is always there with every living being.
Particularly,
with us Human Beings having the power of discrimination ... we cannot only use
this hidden power for our benefit but it is all the time available to us on our
cosmic journey. and what is an Atman (a soul) ... it is but a minuscule part of
God Almighty. The power of an atman soul is almost equivalent to God Almighty.
We need to understand
that if a grain of wheat is a single Atman then the whole mound of wheat is God
Almighty ... the collective power of all purified atmans in the cosmos. Before
you embark on the journey of Self Realization ... think it hard whether it is
possible for you to travel the path traversed by Ramakrishna Paramhansa or Maharishi
Ramana. Even big stalwarts of Spirituality like Acharya Rajneesh and Swami Vivekananda
failed to achieve Self Realization in their lifetime. In the case of Acharya Rajneesh
it was a single fault of his in the later stages of his life, which plunged him
from top to the bottom.
He advocated that by performing free sex ... it is but possible to realize the
Spiritual goal early. He was hundred percent wrong. We can only rise above the
Spiritual ladder by practicing Celibacy ... and that too for a continuous period
of minimum 12 years. Only then shall we be able to catch the lift of the spiritual
life and go straight up ... this is the only path to awaken our kundalini ...
and unless the kundalini is fully awakened ... we shall never Realize God.
In the case of Swami Vivekananda
... he never actually desired Self Realization in the present life ... he followed
the pattern of mother Teresa ... instead he wanted to serve the society ... the
underprivileged ... those poor children of God who neither had the means nor the
will to stand up and say, Society! I am a part of you ... accept me as I am! Swami
Vivekananda had very noble ideals ... he had a darshan of God by the grace of
his Guru Swami Ramakrishna Paramhansa ... but that was for intermittent times.
He never wanted to dwell in the domain of God permanently. Maybe not in this but
in the next life Atman of Swami Vivekananda would definitely Realize God.
Think
of it ... why do you need to talk to God ... there has to be reason ... I never
wanted to talk to God ... I wanted to be with him all the time ... and I achieved
the goal of my life! Our sheer hard work, patience shall ultimately win us the
day. Hundred percent faith in the system of God is a must. We also need to practice
Celibacy to awaken our kundalini.
I shall give a small incidence in the life of Swami Vivekananda, which shall make
the matter more clear- Swami Vivekananda very badly wanted to talk to God ...
the reason being that before submitting himself to his master Ramakrishna Paramhansa
... rather before surrendering himself fully to his master and Guru Ramakrishna
Paramhansa ... Swami Vivekananda asked his Guru whether God would be willing to
take care of his family (by his family he meant his parents) ... as there was
none to look after them. Ramakrishna Paramhansa who knew the answer ... kept quiet.
When Swami Vivekananda insisted upon an answer ... Ramakrishna Paramhansa guided
him to Ma Kali (who was also worshiped by Swami Ramakrishna Paramhansa).
When Swami Vivekananda approached
the temple of Ma Kali ... he would become so engrossed in thoughts that were Spiritual
in nature that he almost forgot asking the Ma for material benefits for his parents.
He returned to his Guru Ramakrishna Paramhansa who inquired of him whether Ma
has blessed him with all his wants. Swami Vivekananda hesitatingly stated that
the moment he entered the precincts of the temple he forgot what he had come for.
Ramakrishna Paramhansa redirected him to go again and ask of Ma Kali for the material
comforts for his parents. He went again and the moment he entered the temple the
same happening repeated. When Swami Vivekananda returned after his third visit
with no return in hand ... he realized his folly.
How could he ... a puny human being ask of Ma Kali ... for material comforts for
his parents ... when it was but possible for Ma Kali to bless him with a gift
of Self Realization in the present life ... to become free of the cycle of manifestations
... to reach the 8.4 millionth manifestation ... should be something what he should
ask for! What value is of the material comforts he is asking for! What is the
value of life of 70 to 80 years compared to the total life cycle of atman the
soul within of 96.4 million years?
Swami
Vivekananda immediately understood the complete truth ... he never repeated the
mistake. Instead he took a commitment from his master Ramakrishna Paramhansa that
he shall bless his parents so that the basic needs of the family ... his parents
shall always be taken care of by the grace of God ... he left the care of his
parents in the hands of his Guru Ramakrishna Paramhansa. and only after Swami
Ramakrishna Paramhansa said yes, did Swami Vivekananda became a disciplined disciple
of Ramakrishna Paramhansa. and it is a fact of life that the parents of Swami
Vivekananda never were short of the basic needs in life.
May
God bless you!

I don't
believe in going to temples or worshipping god in daily life.I always believe
I can make or break my life with the only help of my thoughts,ideas,principles.
But one thing I always have in mind which I would like to share with you. Previously
I was like normal person and used to go to all temples during weekends without
fail.
After
a serious of failures,I came to know god has got nothing to do with my life and
everything is in my hands and I know I am 100% responsible for all my actions.
I was speaking to God (thru Prayer) for nearly 25 years.Now it is God's turn to
talk to me. Could you tell me is it possible that God can talk to me.If possible
then tell me how and this is want all i want to know from your side.
