You Always Wanted To Ask ???

Vijay Kumar �Atma Jnani� : Every human being is in essence
a cosmic being ... a virtual source of energy living in
X-dimension wherein we term it as a soul (Atman) in our spiritual
terminology. It manifests on mother Earth and takes a body
and this bodied form we see is known as a Jiva (a soul
encompassed in a body) visible to us as an insect, plant,
animal or a human being.

During the various stages of travel (the evolutionary process
inherent in every being) of this cosmic being, one changes form
after form until it finally evolves into a fully developed being we
know as a human being.

Every soul �the Atman within� has the same attributes as
that of God, the Creator ... same manifest power that we attribute
to the Lord. As long as every human being, a manifest form bound by the
so called laws of the society, considers itself a slave
of the cosmic system ... it shall remain engrossed in a self
hypnotic state. The moment it Realizes-God ... shall it
come face to face with the bare truth and the potential
which lay hidden.

God, the Creator is an inherent power which manifests
the total cosmos. It is not an inert power. It is inherently active from within.
Soon after Pralaya (end of the Cosmos) occurs, God comes
into its original form ... the form it always has at the start
of Cosmos. As this form has an evolutionary tendency it
can not sustain in this form for long and explodes as a �Big-Bang�
... the theory discovered by scientists only recently but
is 100 percent truth. Thus is created a new Cosmos for all
souls (Atmans) to start the journey all over again. This
theory of Kalpa (total life span of a Cosmos) are not mere
stories or myths but a cosmic truth which even the scientists can never
negate !! God is there to be ... Cosmos is there to be ... As long
as these two are there, human beings are there to be !
Why bother about the purpose of creation of Mankind at
this stage ?

From the origin of the Cosmos until Pralaya
(end of the Cosmos) occurs ... One in a billion, every now and then
seeks goal of his life as emancipation from mankind (freeing one-self
forever from the shackles of birth and death and gaining God hood).
How many of us ... normal citizens of the World understand,
that following the path traversed by Jesus, Buddha and
Mahavira is the only noble path to gain realization. Life is full of
Sukha (happiness) and Dukha (pain). What may follow
next you never know ... Why not once and for all seek
liberation from such a bondage of life ! Though extremely difficult
for a normal human being to understand the concept, to
follow the sayings incorporated in Koran, Bible, Hindu, Buddhist
and Jain Scriptures, you shall have to follow them before
the end of your journey ... There is
no escape.

What of the goal in this life !! You are born, you live a
life full of happiness and feel contented. What when you are nearing eighties
and time has come for you to leave the World physically ... what
of the goal of the physical life ? Think cosmic not global.
You are a cosmic being. Your goal is also cosmic ...
not linked by 70-80 odd years a human being
spends on an average in a single life span
on mother Earth.

You must have observed an iron Smith who shapes a
utensil out of wrought iron. How many times he heats the raw iron and
then after beating it to give it a shape dips it into a pot containing water,
to cool of the excessive heat contained in the iron bar ...
one may loose the count or may not consider it essential
but, finally he is able to shape the raw material into a finished utensil
he aspired for. Similarly every Amman has to spend different
phases on Mother Earth by manifesting different
life forms in different lives. I again repeat �There is No escape from this�.
One may commit suicide or get himself killed by
various unnatural means but does their journey end ! One
has to manifest a body again and again until one realizes and
gains liberation from the cycle of birth and death (and that too
burdened by the heavy sin of committing self murder). The form you
take in next life is not of your choosing but burdened upon you based
on the resultant Karma of your last life ... Why
choose to die an un-natural death !!! Understand the cosmic goal
of life which is same for all beings ... Emancipation from the cycle of
birth and death and that too for ever. What pursuit
can be nobler than this ! Skeptics who do not believe ... shall also
die one day but burdened with a lot more of unanswered
questions (within their conscience) than an theist ... to
what avail !!

There is no difference between the two except for the fact
that the physical goal of a single life span of 70-80 years is but a mile stone
covered in the 8.4 million mile stones(maximum) to be covered by a
being in one cosmic life span of upto 8.4 million Earth
years before one finally liberates. To realize early and cover
the balance life span in this very life is within the control
of every individual human being ... One need not go far but
get hold of a Guru (spiritual teacher) who can impart the
teachings of �Gita� to you. The moment you realize the secret
contained in the sacred Scriptures, your body is there visible to all
human beings as usual but within you now is a glowing pure Atman (soul)
form ... Ever more impatient to leave the burden
of the manifested body at the earliest. You merely laugh
reconciling over the fact ... As a physical (ordinary)
human being you wanted to become immortal to bodily
enjoy the beauty of mother Earth and nature for ever ...
but of now, you want to get rid of the body ...
sooner the better.

All are children of God. We have all emanated from the
same source and the cosmic goal of all is same. Where is the worry ?
Who am I attached to ! Physical bonds are for passing the life on
mother Earth happily. The cause for worry starts
when we start viewing and considering material riches as our owned
sole propriety. Nothing belongs to us. All is his. To keep living in the
make believe World, inspired by Ego is ... living in a fools
paradise. If anything belonged to you then you should be
able to carry it along with you even after physical death ? ...
which never can be.

Every individual has to cross over the Ocean of various lives
to be spent on Mother Earth individually. None is dependent on another
but one can take guidance and help from others and make them
his guide posts on the cosmic journey ... to avoid
the pit falls which may endanger your completing
the journey early.

Your taking help from others does not necessarily mean
taking help from other human beings ! In essence all human beings are
Atmans manifesting a bodily form. All Atmans are ever willing to help
each other out ... How ? Is for each one of you
to find out individually. Sacred Scriptures of all Religions of the World
provide you an insight into the different paths one can take to
complete the cosmic journey. Your partners in your physical
journey do need a base for physical survival ... provide it
and you can enter Sanyasa Ashram ( Living within a family ...
you can live the life of a sanyasi), a perfect Yogi ... Who can within
this life attain self-realization. Nothing can be noble for a human being
than gaining God-realization, seeing almighty God,
face-to-face. Never ever worry ... what may happen
to them. Go ahead ... Perform your Karma. 24 hours are more then
enough to earn your daily bread and simultaneously
gain purification ... the only and real path
to self-realization.

All that we see in the Universe was made by God, the
Creator of the Cosmos. Do not imagine God to be of the form of a
living being. It is a creative energy source ... you may imagine it to be
a mighty computer which governs and controls the entire Cosmos. �Everything
moving ahead and without a past� is the basic
framework within which works the system of God, the
Creator. Man made past is for people to reenact and
re-live happenings which have passed and gone away ... to
provide temporary relief to the needy and concerned (acting
as gate-valve to release accumulated tensions and
stresses of the day).

Those who imagine God to be a myth and consider
all happenings in the Universe to be the handiwork of a self evolving process
and not the act of a Creator or God are to be pitied ... Nothing falters in
the God made Cosmos. All is well planned ... As you shall sow, so shall
you reap. If the World was not the out come of a
well planned evolutionary process ... Everything would go
haywire but, nothing of the sort happens !

The whole Cosmos ... every little operation, even the
minutest happenings are the result of a well planned process. From beginning
of the Kalpa (total life span of a Cosmos) i.e. from the start of Big Bang
to the time of Pralaya (end of the Cosmos)... all occurrences
are premeditated.

Whenever we think of God, we must try to think
in comparative terms ... His domain compared to ours. All, everything in the
Cosmos is his ... We do not possess even a speck of dust for where comes the
time to leave the Worldly possessions ... We only carry the
�Punya� (Spiritual inheritance earned by us in this
life .. Result of plus karma and which ultimately governs
what our next life shall be) or �Papa� (Inheritance
earned by us in this life which shall bring us nearer to
Satan .. Result of negative karma) to the next journey. What
comparison !! One, who is Egoless and us ... Full of Ego that, we even consider
God as puny and try to belittle him by our deeds. What is the ultimate gain !!!
We incur the wrath of God unknowingly, resulting
in untold miseries and hardships.

What was the gain of Kansa, maternal uncle of
Lord Krishna in rebuking Krishna and trying to murder the young child immediately
after his b irth ! What did King HrinyaKashipu gain in trying to rebuke Prahlad, his
own son for worshipping Visnu, an incarnation of the Lord !
Result ... He was executed by the Lord himself. There
are numerous instances to quote in history which confirm
the belief again and again in the existence
of Lord.

Do we gain anything in despising God ... Nothing, but
misery. What if we pray and atone for all sins committed by us knowingly
or unknowingly. The power of prayers ? the respect humanity has for Man Gods ...
Jesus, Buddha, Mahavira and Prop. Mohammed needs no mention . Why
care for the few who are born atheists ! It is for
them to learn the Eternal truths hidden in sacred scriptures
of all Religions of the World. The poor ones ... devoid
of the love God has for mankind as a whole. You
ask and strive for and Lo ! your efforts meet with success.
What more could have the humanity asked for ... The power
to think and guide your destiny to your cosmic goal is within your hands.
You have only to search for it !

We are mere puppets in the hands of God but are we
to fear one Who created us !!! He forgives one and all ... even our gravest sins
and what of us ... we fail to forgive one even for the
smallest offenses !

We need the blessings of Elders and grace of God to
complete our cosmic journey. We do not have the power to make a choice
but we certainly can pray and ask God to grant us what we sincerely need.
All sacred documents say the same language �Pray and it shall be granted�. What
they do not say (or is not clear to most
Human beings) is that you must have �100 percent
faith� in the existence and system of God in absence
of which ... You shall miss all which can
be truly yours.

Even Jesus, Buddha, Mahavira and Prop. Mohammed
gained Enlightenment and became one with God only with his grace. Every
individual who gains self-realization is able to achieve all within his might.
In the present form of a human being you have only one
life to live !!! Why not attempt for grace of God within this
life and gain realization.

All beings including human beings have a sacred
duty to perform towards the Creator, the omnipotent God. All affluent ones from
the richer strata of the society ... are they not supposed to support the deprived
segment of the society ... Those who incur red the wrath of God in their earlier
lives for not adhering to the doctrines laid down
by him and percolated through to the common man
through sacred documents. It is our sacred duty to
help one and all ... lest we shall never earn �Punya�, the
most precious possession of a Human being
on mother Earth !

We have 24 hours at our disposal ... We do not want to
spare even minutes for him. What of being bestowed with super natural
powers ! The power to glide through the skies, scan the surface of Moon, perform
deeds which no other species on Earth can dream of ... Perform anatomy
on beings to its core and seek knowledge of the
interiors of a body !! Yet we keep away from
him ... tend to become religious by so called donations
to charitable Institutions !!! What when our end is nearer ...
Shall God�s grace be with us for having donated to the
coffers of so called Spiritual Institutions, who proclaim to be
nearer to God !!

Our genuine concern for the poor, the down trodden
denizens of the society, forgiving them for their past deeds ... Shall be the
streak of silver lightening which shall embark us on a mission towards God, to
earn his grace in the end. God alone and none else
promotes all causes for the good of Humanity.
We are mere instruments in his hands ... doing his bidding
all the time.

One commits so many mistakes in a day
knowingly or unknowingly ... still forgets to Pray to God ? To atone for all such mistakes,
prayers are the only medicine ! What more are the possessions of a common man !!!
Praying to God is free of all costs, available in
abundance to one and all without any strings attached ...
Yet to what avail !

You go to an ashram ! You can not meet the Head
without an appointment. Guru Dakshina is considered a must and is �expected�
to be paid by one and all. Do you ever need to seek an appointment with
God ? Think over !!! For all things available freely ... water to drink,
air to breathe, sunshine to give energy and
prayers to God ... we have the scantiest regards.
What of such human beings ! Must we drop a tear in
sympathy or pray to Lord to forgive them and atone for
their sins by working harder. Do we ever imagine that world
sustains owing to prayers of these 10 percent ... who compensate for the balance
? percent. Think !!! Are they not the true saviors of Mankind ? We owe
our lives to them, they are not yet realized but on
path to realization. They serve God ... not owing
to their selfish interests but for their love for Mankind
at large !!
