It
is not easy to live with such Realizations
The
fear of the worst that can happen to us if we take the path of truthfulness keeps
most of us at bay. Yet Humanity has witnessed the advent of people like Mahavira,
Gautama Buddha, Jesus
Christ and Prophet
Mohammed. There are many more in the chain. Many good people are yet
to come. Did all these people surface when the going was right.
No,
these people came when the values in the society was at its lowest ebb. The social
fabric which governs the society had broken down and a super human feit was necessary
to bring back the society to its normal values. Only during such times one amongst
us takes the super human task of uplifting the society. More

Comparison
Between USA and India!
Presently
we are passing through that phase of Kali Yuga wherein all values in the society
get distorted and lost. None is to be blamed for this as everything in the Cosmos
follows a fixed pattern and a cyclic order. If we have fire ... we also have water.
If we have pain ... we also have happiness. It is the perspective which is important
and not the material object. For one the glass is half empty and for the other
half filled.
India
no doubt will become the superpower No. 1 in 2008. This is not a happening of
a few years. We have been tormented for many centuries ... now the time has come
for us to reap the fruits. My Essay "shape of the world to come" will clarify
this. Some people no doubt become greedy in the aftermath of Kali Yuga. Can it
be helped? More

When
did Christianity begin?
Around
3600 years ago came Lord
Krishna (the preacher of "Bhagavad Gita"... the first and the most
concise scripture available on Mother Earth and which is available to followers
of Hinduism at large and mankind in general).
After
about 1000 years followed Bhagwan Mahavira (whose followers consist of Jainism
sect). Mahavira was the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism Religion after whose advent
the teachings is contained in the Jainism Scriptures spread to the masses. Only
after the advent of Bhagwan Mahavira Jainism took its firm roots.

I have been having flashes
The
flashes you are having are never a creation of mankind... flashes are projections
of what your Atman (soul, the inner
self) is trying to communicate to you. It clearly indicates that one
finally makes it to the abode of God... the Heaven! But it was not a simple journey.
Whatever the sins
committed by us pulled us down and the merits earned by us in this life got us
a seat in Heaven... which indicates that the balance of our sins and the merits
was in positive and we finally made it out of the dungeons of hell. The crying
is representative of the voluminous efforts required for reaching the portals
of Heaven. It is not that continuing committing one sin after another we hope
of achieving a seat in the garden of Heaven.

We only get whatever we earn
We
only get whatever we earn... nothing more or less! If we suffer at the hands of
God then it does not mean that God has forced us to the sufferings. If we feel
the pain it is only because of our deeds in the past. If we are happy it is also
the result of our Karma (the sum total of the deeds performed by us).
You
need to understand the basic crux of life... life always goes on... it never waits
for anyone... we are supposed to work for something we really desire in life.
Mere desiring shall never help... we shall only earn what we sow! We need to perform
Karma according to our desires.

Why
does god allow suffering?
God
neither wants one to be happy nor sad! God Almighty is a mere Dhrishta (an onlooker)...
he never interferes with the working of one. As much we perform our Karma in daily
life (the sum total of all deeds performed by us) so is the reward by God? We
shall only reap what we sow... nothing less or more.
The
existence of happiness and sorrow in our life is the part of the cosmic system.
As we have a day... we also have night. We have sunlight... we also have darkness.
We have fire... we also have water. Everything in the Cosmos has to balance and
the sum total of the cosmos at any given point of time must always remain zero.
Every human being can experience happiness but there always is equal and sorrow
waiting to be experienced!

Sinners
and saints
What
you have heard is wrong! We perform sin every second of our life. We also perform
pious deeds every second of our life. As we proceed in life... we either perform
a negative or a positive act. Our negative acts makes us suffer... the positive
bring us happiness. Sufferings and happiness are a making of our own. As we think...
so shall we get!
It
is the thinking that finally precipitates into an act. If we think negative thoughts
then our act would definitely bring us sufferings. If we perform pious deeds we
can look forward to happiness all the time.

Does
god answer Prayer- Right way to Pray?
Before
praying we need to understand the meaning of the word Prayer. What does praying
mean in every Religion... are Prayers different for different Religions. Is it
that for one a Prayer has one meaning and different for the other?
Praying
to God Almighty carries equal meaning for all. God never differentiates! In praying
we ask of God for something. Even if we do not ask for any material benefit for
our own self we may ask for the welfare of others. We may not ask of God something
for us but for the benefit of others... still, it is not necessary that our Prayers
would be answered.
No
one knows where lives God. None has ever seen him. Even the representative of
Jesus Christ on Mother Earth... the reverend John Pope Paul can also not vouch
for having seen God at any stage of his life. Nor can any bishop or father or
a priest! God is always hidden from mankind... he cannot be seen but always felt!
He exists everywhere. In the eyes of God all are equal... he never differentiates
between a king and a commoner. More

Why
does god let people suffer?
There
is no way out of your sufferings. They are of your own making! God is a Dhrishta
(an onlooker). He never interferes with the working of his beings. It is like
a supercomputer duly programmed for every act performed by all Jivas (living beings)
existing in the total Cosmos. As we perform our Karma ((the sum total of all deeds
performed by us) so shall we be paid by God.
If
you need to come out of your sadness... you need to delve into the cause of your
sadness. As you brood over the cause... you shall realize that it was of your
own making. You got what you performed... nothing more or less! Your sadness...
was it a making of God in order that he keeps a track of your pain and sees to
it that you do not suffer further.

Who
came first... Catholic or Protestant
Before
we delve ourselves into who came first... the Catholics or the Protestant... we
need to understand the basics of Christianity. Christianity emanated is after
the advent of Jesus Christ. The following of Jesus Christ is known as Christianity
and the followers as Christians. Those who believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ
and the Bible are known as Catholics.
As
time passes by there always develops a breed of people with different views and
opinions. A collective group of people who did not fully believe whatever was
written in the Bible and the sayings of Jesus Christ came to be known as Protestants.
They were primarily considered as protesting against the sacred writings of the
Bible. More

What
brought the birth of Islam
Prophet
Mohammed when he was a young man gained wisdom but as he could not convince the
elders of his village about his achievements for it was not within the capacity
of the elders to understand the cosmic wisdom of the ages... he was made to flee
the village. Every time prophet Mohammed in his younger stages tried to preach
the dictates of God to the masses... the villagers stoned him and prophet Mohammed
had to retire to secluded places.
More
than a decade passed by and there were times when even prophet Mohammed was low
in his patience. As it was willed he never lost faith in God Almighty and continued
working for the mission of his life and which was... spreading the teachings of
Almighty God, the Creator himself to the masses. It so happened that once when
he was hiding in a cave and was absolutely drained out of all energy and nearly
succumbed to the physical pressures being faced by him he observed a small spider
trying to climb to the top of the cave. More

Can
God create a stone.. it cannot raise
Yes,
God can create a stone... it cannot raise!
God
has always been a Dhrishta (an onlooker)... it never interferes with the creation
of his! You would have noticed that when a supercomputer is built and it carries
out billions of functions in a second... it is the processor which is at work
and not the builder of the supercomputer. Everything has been programmed... after
the supercomputer has been built, the job of the supercomputer builder is over.
He never interferes with the working of his unless a glitch or a malfunction develops.
Why do we always
look forward to anything being done by God himself? Knowing well that God does
not and never interferes with the working of his! Everything is pre-programmed
like a supercomputer. Whatever we sow... we reap nothing more or less! Every computer
in the world works on the principle of WYSIWYG meaning "what you see is what you
get". In other words, whatever query we have fed into the computer... we can only
expect the supercomputer to analyse it and give us the possible results.

Liberate
self from cycle of Birth and Death forever
Then
how does one liberate himself? You want to liberate whom and from what? All your
problems exist as long as one considers himself as the pivotal point. Our Atman
within is not governed by the physical senses governing a Jiva. Think it over.
You have not been able to comprehend the truth in my basic article "Truce
with my innerself". Read it again.
It
says "Truth is universal. A man dies. His family grieves over his death feeling
bereaved. A moment before his changing form, everyone was cheerful. Why bitterness
over casting aside of garment by the omniscient. Life is in every deed, every
living being."

About
the story of my life -
The moment I Realized God it was all over with me.
I had to leave my parental business of foundation engineering and have recently
shifted to Roorkee (near Haridwar) wherein I maintain an Archies Gallery to maintain
my bread and butter. In 1993 the moment I had a darshan of God I asked him - what
now ... I was told that I would be shifting to Roorkee in 1999. Now I find why
the Gallery was not opened in Delhi.
To
reach the end part of your Cosmic life is something unbelievable I have completed
the cycle of 8.4 million manifestations which atman the soul within is expected
to take in a life span of approximately 96.4 million years. What a glorious end.

Sometimes
i wonder how to get touch with God
To
realize god ... one has to pass through a total of 8.4 million manifestations.
In the last above hundred years only two persons have realized god ... Ramakrishna
Paramhansa and Mahirshi Ramana. As advocated by Bhagwan Mahavira every
human being has the capability to realize god ... become a human god like him
in every life.
It
is upon us whether we want realize god within this life or not. Like we cannot
pull a tree and make it grow, we cannot make a child in class 1 to jump to class
10 One has to pass through all the phases of life.
You
may be in class 4 on the Spiritual level yet, you can jump to class 10 ... it
is possible. Only suitable efforts are to be made. In Spirituality, one can rise
himself from 8.2 millionth manifestation directly to 8.4 millionth manifestation.
In whatever manifestation I may have been ... I wanted to realize god in the present
life. Now I am in my 8.4 millionth manifestation. I can but have Moksha Salvation
in this life. The cycle
of birth and death having ceased for me ... I shall as a pure atman
the soul within return to Baikuntha (the abode of god).
