JUST TRUTH

When we miss on Truth, all information gathered has to be eventually discarded as noise.

When one realizes Truth, one cannot differentiate zero from infinity.

Always keep one part for the present, another for future and the rest for eternity - our true nature.

All our memory sans Truth shall prove redundant.

A questioning mind, maybe unknowingly but, is invariably searching Truth.

Truth faces maximum struggle, but cannot be defeated because it is Truth.

Meaning of Truth shall never change, even if, time and space cease to exist.

If law has to be just two words, these would be Truth and justice.

'I am Truth' declares God in Srimad Bhagwad Gita.

SURRENDER TO INFINITY VERSUS GROWTH

Having evolved through 8.4 million births/species, man has acquired a level of  wisdom, unparalelled by other protoplasmic earthlings. About 5000 years ago God appeared and revealed His infinite knowledge to civilized man, that growth to infinity is impossible, except by surrendering to infinity. Examplifying that despite a rain-drop of water dissolving its identity by surrendering to ocean becomes ocean, most water continues to enjoy its identity from dew-drop to rain-cloud to drain, stream, river finally to ocean. By common knowledge, infinity is unachievable by growth, and yet, like jokers, we all opt for growth. Never mind, jokers too entertain and thus spread happiness.  The message from God is: never worry, keep doing duty with a smile. A day, when wisdom dawns, one would automatically realize one's limitations and totally surrender one's ego to infinity/God and dissolve into infinity/self-infinity and assumes God- hood (Moksh/Bliss). This analysis derives from Srimad Bhagwad Gita.

MEANING OF RENUNCIATION AND DETATCHMENT

About 5000 years old concepts of renunciation and detachment are still hard to understand and yet survive in our philosophy of life.
The principal cause is that human mind gives too much importance to birth and death and forgets the value of means of achieving self-gratification during one span of life, that too, at the cost of system of other levels of existence (other living-beings and environment).
Variety of religious paths that have come into place have avoided to dwell on these concepts as difficult to practice.
The net result is, the world has been becoming more and more threatened with growth of human civilization.
Prince Siddharth renounced the world and then came back enlightened to it as Lord Budha advising us the path called: middle path.
Lord Krishna clarified in the Bhagwad Geeta that 'desire for only self-growth and happiness is the whole cause of misery in this world'. It means that individualistic growth at the cost of other beings and environment around is dangerous.
The conclusion is thus one has to renounce undue desires for ego-fulfilment in this world and observe own deeds impartially by being detached from the fruit or acquisitions.

GOD, RELIGIONS, ALTARS and SOCIETY

GOD alone is ABSOULTE. God's creation is relative - subject to time, space and substance. All beings are rightfully confident in their own trasit identities because, they all are part and parcel of ONE God.  Visible universe is only a tip of the iceberg of God's creation. A much larger invisible part of creation exerts its influence on the visible universe. Man is always studying this process through wisdom of science and religion. Thus, science and religion have no authority to claim understanding God or His creation and, have thusfar, only created diversity from unity. Therefore, sole purpose of a religion is to make man a goodman, failing which its whole purpose is defeated. Similarly, sole purpose of temple/church/mosque/altar for a man is to learn to bow and shed un-necessary ego of identity, failing which these places are likely to be misused to create discord among believers of God. A section of people, who are atrociously ambitious, have always tried to misuse both science and reilgions to their selfish advantage to rise to power and enjoy undue resources. They are the demons of the times. Intellectuals of all societies of the world have to be duty-bound to spot such demonic individuals and inform the society in time, so as to minimize conflict among peace-loving majority of the world. Press and media must highlight good values so as to cooperate in world peace.

GOD'S FEMALE/MALE MANIFESTATIONS

God is ONE with innumerable manifestations, exhort Vedas and Bhagvad Gita: Eko Brahmasti. According to Bhagwad Gita, all form manifestations of God come out of one Infinite or Virat source called Brahmn whose formless version is called Omn. In Bhagwad Gita, Virat form has 330 million gods with their feminine versions in their respective hearts. In order to maintain the cosmic balance, Brahmn appears in form as Par-Brahmn ( meaning: through and through Brahm/trans-Brahmn) or Param Brahaman male Vishnu or His 10 avatars. Likewise, Brahm also appears as feminine form Vaishnavi and her 9 avatars (Nav-Durga), according to Devi-Bhagavatam. Vishnu and Vashnavi took concurrent avatars as Krishna and Radha as cosmic lovers. The explanation that Krishna gave to Radha before leaving her at the age of 12 was, that He Himself is Radha (by dressing Himself as Radha).

IS MAN A DIANASAUR BORN-AGAIN?

Thinkers, philosophers and scientists are constantly looking at ways to increase the level of happiness. Nature, too is helping us achieve this through evolution. That is why most humans are happy to believe that they are better off than chimps and apes: what to talk of amoebae, bacteria or viruses. As man equips himself to let down microbes devouring him, nature helps microbes to mutate to even deadlier versions. The war is always on, on top of men terrorizing fellow-men. All progress has culminated into a 'happy' worried man. Man distinguishes himself from rest of the animal kingdom in that he, alone has been given wisdom by the owner of existence (call Him God). And yet, man is proving to become responsible for bringing all life on this earth on the edge of extinction - all, just in fear of fellow-men, who want to rule the earth. Remember, once dianasaurs ruled this earth. Is man a dianasaur-incarnate?

MEANING OF DETATCHMENT FROM WORLD

On the first look, detachment from the world appears impossible to achieve. Nonetheless, this concept has been forcefully endorsed by God Almighty, while describing Himself in first person in Bhagwad Gita, direct to man, who seeks Him. We are born, brought-up and trained to prosper in this world - why then to be detached from it? In short-term view, detachment sounds wierd, but, however, in the long-term view, we shall discover that we are naturally detached from so many possessions of life, which we may have cherished as a baby, child and grown-ups. Why we have become detached from these, is either they are out-of-date, boring or there are better things we are drawn to. Logically, detachment from some worldly possessions comes naturally if we want to achieve still better. So, our attachment to our accomplishments in this world, may become hadicap to further progress. Thus, detachment is good ploy for self-management that Krishna preached about 5000 years ago.

One can practice detachment by being an impartial observer of one's own-self. It is possible only if one hands-over the charge of oneself to another. But, the fear that one may not receive the charge back, may hold one to do so. For this, one has to find out another-one who loves us truthfully, and who is not attached to our possessions. It is most probable that we may not find even one such person throughout our life. In this regard, God Himself declares "Love is my innermost nature, Truth I am" (Bhagwad Gita). Because God is Truth-all conscious-eternal bliss (Sat-chit-Anand), He is the most dependable-ONE for our sharing and caring. When, we are attached to God, we automatically become detached from His virtual image/creation (universe). The secret of achieving this state of mind was given to an iconic duty-bound man, Arjun by Krishna. The secret was: whenever, we pause while performing duty, imagine God's Universal form (Virat-Brahm), bow and whisper the fundamental mantra "Omn Tat Sat" (Omn is the extract of Truth). This message is coincidently present in different modes of worship as Omn-Omen-Amen-Amin.

WHAT IS GOD?

The most ancient authority of human wisdom - the Vedas - accept their defeat in not being able to understand what is God as NETI-NETI: not this, not that. And yet, they accept the best definition of God is SAT-CHIT-ANAND = TRUTH-ALL KNOWING CONSCIOUSNESS-BLISSFUL

TRUTH is timeless or eternal, indestructible (avinaashi), without any beginning, middle and end.
CHIT = AWARENESS, CONSCIOUSNESS, ALL-KNOWING.
BLISSFUL = Param-anand, above states of happiness and unhappiness, non-suffering

Out of all holy scriptures that exist, God is described in first person, only in Srimad Bhagwad Gita as: ONE IN ALL and ALL IN ONE, VIRAT-BRAHM in form and also, unimaginable bright-light of infinite suns shining at once as formless GOD with universal vibration OMN.

Bhagwad Gita advises that it is easier to relate to God in form (Viraat) and more difficult to identify ourselves with formless God. As God alone exists, all perceptible identities must be viewed as part and parcel of ONE God. The universe and its variety as observed is creative sport of God (please refer to post above 'Truth and Justice') that, invariably surrenders to God. Gita advises that the shortest-cut to God-realization is the determined total surrender of mind (which hides our true identity) to God by performing one's prescribed duty to the best of ability for establishing truth and justice in the society without attachment to the fruit of work, so as to share it with all (just like our stomach shares the essence of food with all cells of our body, fairly, rather than to selfishly pile on the belly alone to make us ugly). Just as, all our body cells are a variety of manifestations of our same DNA, the whole universe is a variety of manifestations the same ONE God.

TRUTH AND JUSTICE

ONE God creates the universe as a sport and permeates every bit of creation as omnipresent. He hides behind all visible and invisible identities like a thief/Hari. All these created identities are searching for this hidden thief everywhere (Ancient/Sanaatan Wisdom). This hide-and-seek sport continues throughout the created realms of time and space. Earthlings participate in this sport by evolving from microbes to man, with all living-beings constantly involved in sharpening their skills and defensive/aggressive arsenal. God becomes a mere observer and judges the behaviour of us all - the players. This play is the work/duty of all beings. Evolving over innumerable births, an extremely small fraction of people start understanding this game and try to avoid foul-play. They slowly become detached from the result - victory or defeat - and keenly meditate over Truth behind the scene/universe. For such few great persons, work becomes worship. Thence, they see their own image in all living beings and treat their enemies and friends alike; thereby, they try level-best to give justice to all. Always seeking the greatest Truth in all their actions done to give justice to all beings, such people become immortals. In the last century, one person who tried this path sincerely was Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhiji declared to the world "There is no religion above Truth".

MEANING OF WORSHIP

Main purpose of worshipping Absolute or God is to shed arrogance of mind, which can entice any person into building false ego as a doer of work or duty or acquirer of great knowledge leading to tremendous achievements and respect in life.

Bargaining of worship for fulfilment of worldly gains is like selling gold as scrap. Many would question that if one would not request God for better life than whom should one? For them, a midway is, pray twice - once with a list and second time without a list of jobs to be given to God.

God has declared that He knows our past, present and future and already doing the best for us in every respect. Thus there is no need to ask. If one insists, then God directs the beggar-devotee to one or more of 330 million demi-gods/goddesses/angels to attend and Himself turns away. (Reference: Srimad Bhagwad Gita).

'Four kinds of people remember God on this earth. First, who are unhappy with life. Second, who bargain worship for business-like worldly gains. Third, who try to define God by acquiring knowledge and understanding (intellectuals). Fourth,  who simply love "Me"/God and always seek God's company. Out of these four types of devotees, only the fourth category, those who love "Me"/God alone acquire "Me"/God. (Bhagwad Gita).

Practically uneducated and yet celebrated devotee like Saint Kabir sang 'World has died reading scriptures, and yet no-body realized God; four-lettered word, LOVE, whoever has understood, is indeed the realized-one' ("Pothi pud-pud jug mua, hua na pandit koi; dhie akshar PREM ke, padhe so pandit hoi").

TO ENJOY IS LIFE

Secret of happiness on this earth is enjoy doing ones own duty, without much attachment to the fruit of the duty. Attachment to acquisitions or rewards of work only holds us back from moving forward. One must set targets to achieve, as this is important for efficiency of performing duty. But, attachment to results, if not achieved, leads to disappointment (unhappiness), which further reduces the zeal to perform duty. Like our most-desired toys of childhood no-longer interest us now. Likewise, we might discover that our present achievements may mean trivial to us in future. The best way to celebrate the achievements is to share acquisitions with contemporary peers, less successful than thou - not enslaving them to laziness, but encouraging them to take their duty more seriously. Last and the most important aspect is not to allow one's success go to the head and fire the ego. For this, dedication of achievements to  ONE - GOD - hiding behind our temporary identities is the technique. These fundamentals are derived from over 5000 years old treatise on Self-mangement: Bhagwad Gita. Omn, Amen, Amin!

HARLOT OR MAAYAA

  1. Maaya, demons, opposition to the right path are created by God to test if His seeker truely loves Him or has some fears/desires on his list. 
  2. True seekers of God, say no to tentalizing maaya politely with folded hands & proceed ahead with unitary focus on meeting God.
  3. The purpose of maaya, according to Gita is only to provide an unfailing test on seekers of God, as this knowledge is denied to fickle minds. 
  4. Knowing God is the sole purpose of knowledge. Bhagwat Gita is the only scripture that describes God in 1st person and directly envisions God. 
  5. Only those devotees of Truth/God, who can conquer maayaa by self-disciplline, can realize God.
  6. Maayaa is conquered by seekers of Truth/God by refusing to accept ill-gotten powers/wealth/comforts/sensory pleasures, just as test-hurdle. 
  7. Indian mythology calls maayaa as illusionery feminine-image of God, and wise take a direction opposite to instinctive maya-net to realize God. 
  8. According to Gita, everything that alienates man from God is maayaa/corruption. Seekers of God renounce maayaa (which includes our false egos too). 
  9. Counterpart of illusionery woman harlot has a parallel in "maayaa" in Indian mythology. She allures man to worldly desires by indisciplline.

PURPOSE OF LIFE

Purpose of this human life is not just to achieve happiness - it is to achieve ETERNAL BLISS, advises Bhagwat Gita.

All living-beings on earth wear a protoplasmic (matter/energy) clothing for a life-time (like a jail-uniform) which gives them their individual but temporary identity.

Life on earth is like a prison, from where, prisoners refuse to escape despite when its doors are open: biggest surprise! Our attachment to this jail of highs and lows of life is responsible: Bhagwad Gita. 

"Working on assigned duty with full sincerity without attachment to the fruit of all activities of life is the simplest way to achieve best in this life and attain Bliss/God": Bhagwad Gita 3.19.

All living-beings are like God's robots, doing useful work without realizing this fact. Man knows this and yet wastes life to reap unjustified profits from work. 
    An earthworm unknowingly does more useful work by making the top soil more fertile for food production than a lazy-man wasting life making only lame excuses.

    Life on earth is evolving through approximately 8.4 million species of pleasure-hunt:  looking, unknowingly for the same TRUTH, which they once ignored.
     
    Only persons of limited intelligence see themselves as one-time personalities living on earth and behaving as mere assemblages of atoms of matter/mud.

    LIFE - A HURDLE RACE

    Life is a hurdle race - the bigger the hurdle one crosses, the bigger the achievement.

    All living beings are given a protoplasmic dress at birth, which grows to an optimal size for carrying out some work in a requisite survival-niche.

    Reward of work carried out may be proportional or out-of-proportion to work performed, depending on factors understood or not undestood by mind, which is a habitual exploiter in the situation.

    Smart people become observers of their own mind, and do not un-necessarily react to relative situations of happiness, stagnation and unhappiness.

    God has made man to act and not to react and stay even-minded in success or failure by remaining unattached to the world - Bhagwat Gita.

    Like our body organs are serving  with dedication to us, without wish of focal enlargement of any hardworking organ like heart, liver, etc; man has to learn to behave working peacefully within the norms of the bigger organism, called society.

    GOD, GURUS AND US

    1. This universe is connected to God's naval via an energy-lotus chord. Must listen to our gut-feeling: maybe, it is God calling. Omn, Amen, Amin! 
    2. The whole universe is like ONE VIRAT living being. Selfless karma and welfare of all is the key to authentic existence and true self-love.
    3. Guru/teacher/religious leader has a purpose to facilitate understanding of truth for ignorant common man & not misuse followers for power.
    4. Raam, Krishna, Budha, Christ, Mahaveer, Mohammad and other great ones have left positive marks on us, so that we love and live happily thereafter, not to politicise.
    5. Wisdom lies in understanding one another to unite and strengthen our positivity, rather than finding reasons to differ to flaunt false egos.
    6. Destination of man is to be God by self-realization, bargaining less than that is fooling oneself. Chew comments at http://twitpic.com/1ttcxj .
    7. It is better to fall in line with the principles governing the universe - everything surrendering to Nature - than to invite the dooms day by destroying nature . 
    8. See how our embryonic body cells surrender identity to become brain ,heart, liver, kidney, rectum, etc., despite all having the same DNA. Any rebel cell can be cancerous. 
    9. No one can order blessings. 
    10. The only level of identity that has some purpose is self-confidence. Beyond that is a problem.
    11. A wise person is ever-ready to learn from every incident and any other being. Egoistic person misses all opportunities to learn. 
    12. Like one "peel-off" the skin by a beautician, removes millions of dying cells to invigorate us, nobody is supposed to live in form for ever. 

    BEAUTY IS JOINING TRUTH

    Secret of eternal beauty remains as ever: "Satyam (to truth) Shivam (being attached) Sundram (is beautiful). The funda of looking good is therefore: always remain attached to truth (Satsang).

    Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and duty in your own hands.

    Any attainment, whatsoever, if not permanent is no attainment. Likewise, beauty lost with time is no beauty.

    CARING AND SHARING

    Like different lobes of our brain cooperate & coordinate our personality; may different countries cooperate & behave to make earth a heaven.

    All living-beings on mother earth are my Friends; i love each One of You as me. Unless You accept my minuscule existence, i keep suffering.

    "May all be happy, may all be free from disease, may all know what is good, may none suffer from misery"-RigVeda: READ http://twitpic.com/1ttcxj

    As creation of universe is a sport of God, all kinds of characters are created from excellent, good, average,bad & evil, because all are secure.

    A self-realized person treats all living-beings as one family, referred in Gita as "Vasudev/God kutumbkam/family".
      A self-realized devotee of God can thus never care less for any being and, is thus full of love for all beings, called UNIVERSAL LOVE.
       
      "A true yogi observes Me (God) in all beings and also sees every being in Me. A self-realized person/yog-uktatma sees Me everywhere": Gita 6.29.

      SAGES AND SCIENTISTS

      Like scientists filter out noise from signal by various controls, sages control similar noise of worldly desires to perceive God's message.
        As scientists know one-ness of DNA of trillions of their body cells, sages know their spiritual one-ness with universe & God.

        Like organs of my body: brain, heart, liver, kidney,etc., have their distinct identities of form and function; I know they are me, but my organs may not know for whom they work. Likewise, we too forget that we are working for God
        . 
        CREATION: game of God's identities. Vedas declare: "like body like universe & like universe like body" and God at centrum sanctorum http://twitpic.com/1ttcxj

        As upon attaining maturity, our red blood cells eliminate their nuclear identity to accommodate more hemoglobin to disseminate life-giving oxygen to other cells of our body and take-away toxic carbon dioxide; sages too wear saffron upon maturity and distribute happiness in society and redress problems, likewise.

        Thus, both scientists and sages are seeking truth of existence - the former materially and the latter spiritually - both to conform to ONE TRUTH, eventually.

        HE, YOU AND ME ARE ONE

        1.Vedas define God as Truth/Sat All-knowing/Chit Bliss/Anand. Gita advises that man can achieve same BLISS by loving/adoring Nar-Narayan: Vishnu.
        2.Time and space only subserve at the level of creation; they do not exist at the level of God, that is why God is worshiped as ETERNITY.
        3.Our own Soul is timeless Devine. Thus, Lord Vishnu is shown as Eternal Teenager without any mouche/beard, which means changeless with time.
        4.Bhagwat Gita exhorts wise ones not be attached to their present temporary protoplasmic identities & their acquisitions, for self-realization.
        5.Living-beings on earth wear a protoplasmic (matter/energy) clothing for a life-time which gives them their individual but temporary identity.
        6.Soul in all beings is God's own original-self; therefore,wise ones are never biased & treat all beings as God's family - Vasudev Kutumbkam.
        7.Like man runs his instruments with electricity,God runs His instruments: 330million gods/godesses & 8.4 million living-beings,with His soul.
        8.Vedas declare: Yatha/like pinde/body, tatha/like brahmande/universe: means our body and universe are same in nature (matter,energy and soul).
        9.So, knowing our real-self, one may never lose self-confidence. 

        EVOLVED MINDS

        Ease with which we get swayed by feelings and indulge in trivialities in life, is a measure of 'how evolved are we' vis a vis other animals.

        Among all living-beings on earth, only civilized humans have practised clothing of the body and risen above seasonal breeding.

        Evolution of man in God's 10-avatars:fish,tortoise,wild-boar,lion-head Narshingh,dwarf Vaaman,tough-Purshram,civilized-man Ram,Guru Krishna.

        Incarnation God as animal-headed human forms lke elephant-headed Ganesh, lion-headed Narsingh,monkey-headed Hanuman confirm man-animal line.

        As eukaryotes,our soul has evolved from amoeba to man.Congratulations! How long we wish to be re-born as man? View http://twitpic.com/1ttcxj

        GOD and satan inside us:Art of living is to groom godliness & tide over satanic instints like lust,anger,greed,jealousy,anguish,self-love.

        In God's true realization,time,space & substances cease to exist.Thus creation of universe,all living beings & evolution fundas vanish: Vedas.

        God views us not as protoplasmic bodies but as souls, who have turned away from Him and starting enjoying separate ego of identity: Gita.

        No body has lived on this earth for ever. Why so much attachment to this then? "Work work with heart within and God overhead", unattached.

        If evil is tormenting anyone,take it as challenge within the path of truth :as evil is just an opportunity for one to prove faith in truth.

        God advises in Gita that man, being in His image, may try to live life smiling beautifully like a lotus flower - unruffled by slush around.

        God alone is Absolute & His creation is relative subject to time,space & substance; all may feel safe & confident that we have His Soul in us.

        A self-realized devotee of God can thus never care less for any being and, is thus full of love for all beings, called UNIVERSAL LOVE.

        CIVILIZED MINDS

           Ease with which we get swayed by feelings and indulge in trivialities in life, is a measure of how civilized are we?

           Among all living-beings on earth, only civilized humans have practised clothing of the body and risen above the seasonal breeders.

           Relativity (ego of bigger,better,wiser than peers) is the only illusion to be observed un-attached, in order to realize ABSOLUTE: Gita

          Living-beings on earth wear a protoplasmic(matter/energy) clothing for a life-time which gives them their individualistic but temporary identity.

        MEANING OF CHARITY

        A contemporay of Tulsi Das, poet Raheem usually gave charity in the day and felt small. On Tulsi's enquiry, he replied: I feel small while giving charity, because the actual giver is some one else (God). Lucky are those, who have somebody to receive charity from them. The best charity is to teach the beggar an art of making better livelihood through doing useful work

        SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY

        Creation of universe is the first intelligent question mankind has ever asked. Even the most ancient sources of knowledge like Vedas and Bhagwat Gita have dwelled on this question. First these scriptures declare: "Yatha brahmande tatha pinde and yatha pinde tatha brahmande" meaning "Like universe like body and like body like universe". Which means body of living-beings and composition of universe is same (matter & energy). Second declaration these scriptures make is that universe was created instantaneously from "Maha-shunya" or "smallest-nothing" in God's naval, like an opening lotus flower (means universe is always expanding). Bhagwat Gita demonstrates to select enightened persons (like scientists who devise the required wherewithal to make minute & rare observations) the whole universe lies in God's form-Vishnu's abdomen. Baby Krishna also demonstrated the same to His mother Yashodha by opening His mouth. One limitation with material science is that it cannot prove the existence of property-less soul, which is considered by the ancient wisdom as the cause of creation. That is why, man considers himself to be different from other living-beings on this earth. Whereas, the ancient wisdom declares, that the same soul/atma expresses itself in diverse properties of matter-energy assmblies of 8.4 million living species. For material scientists to understand this discrepency, another quantum leap is yet required to be made with saints and scientists holding joint conferences and workshops and working with one-another's tools. Provided all the weapons of destruction the material scientists have made, in fear of fellow-men, do not explode first.

        EGO AND IDENTITY

          Ego and supremacy fights among religions can only exile God and not invite Him. Regurgitate on comments at http://twitpic.com/1ttcxj .

           Selfishness is fueled by uncontrolled animal-instincts like lust, anger, envy, ego, greed, enmity, attachment - meant exclusively for our survival.

           Man - at the top of the tree of animal kingdom - surprisingly refuses to accept being an animal. Perhaps, ego is the cause.

            A major difference between big and great is, despite both being big, the great ones are humble and do not pose.

           Living-beings on earth wear a protoplasmic (matter/energy) clothing for a life-time which gives them their individual but temporary identity.

          Soul in all beings is God's own original-self; therefore, wise ones are never biased & treat all beings as God's family - Vasudev Kutumbkam.  

          Like man runs his instruments with electricity,God runs His instruments: 330million gods/godesses & 8.4 million living-beings,with His soul. 

          Yog may give super-human powers to the person, practice of which, may add to ego of the practiser & thus God-realization may become difficult.  

          Philosophy of life originates from regurgitatation of deep thoughts and not from shallow egotism.  

          Only a rare devotee, who loves God selflessly, & surrenders his ego to God, can have have clear-view/darshan of God: http://twitpic.com/1ttcxj  

          KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH shall continue to evade mind, as long as man refuses to surrender his false ego; already 5000 years of civilization gone by.

          AMNESIA OF IDENTITY: God informs us through Gita that man loves his temporary ID so much that he forgets himself being God - illusion of mind. 

          God views us not as protoplasmic bodies but as souls, who have turned away from Him and started enjoying separate ego of identity: Gita.

          Those who totally surrender their ego to God and give away spare-earning in charity to deserving have-nots and love God, become God (Moksh): Gita. 

          Why Love? Because in True Love, one surrenders false ego - the root-cause of selfishness and worldly desires - "Love is My/God's innermost nature and Truth I am" : Gita.   

          Biggest surprise on earth is that we are afraid to face Truth but, ready to suffer and die numerous times and yet, treat ourselves as permanent.

          May mankind not be naive to pit religions against God Almighty Himself, in order to satisfy ego of diverse religious identities on earth.

          Water in a dew drop has its identity before it dries into air or dissolves into ocean. Man has yet to realize this simple fact of existence.

          True-self in all living-beings including man & God is SAME. Our mind refuses to accept this hard-fact and suffers from ego: God's worship helps. 

          If man fails to control his ego and fear fellow-men, he shall soon be responsible for wiping out all life from earth.

          "Every living-entity is called fallible in the material world, In the spiritual world, every living-entity is called infallible": Gita 5.16.

          Upon total surrender of ego when a devotee submits to God, it is God who becomes a devotee of the devotee: thus, man becomes God: Ancient wisdom.

          APPREHENSION ON NIRVAN/MOKSH: Why to lose one's identity in God while being in heavens, one can enjoy existing as a separate entity?

          "Impelled by lust, ego and attachment, those who undergo severe austerities and penances to torture body and soul are to be known as demons": Gita17.6.

          "Demonaic minds thus indulge in insatiable lust, conceit, false-prestige and are sworn to unclean work hell-bent to impermanent" Gita 16.12.  

          "If you be conscious of Me (God), you will tide over all obstacles of conditioned life by My Grace. In false pride you shall be lost": Gita 18.58.

          "ONLY men of small knowledge fall pray to religiosity promising sense-gratification and opulent life and elevation to heavens". Wake up. Gita 2.43.

        GOD IS ONE - VASUDEV EKAM - EK OMKAAR - UNBORN -AJANMA

        Man of year 2010 knows more about life on earth than life, if any, elsewhere. As a dedicated seeker, man has been trying to understand existence, more than any other visible being on earth. Like scientists of today, who can only conclude total existence as matter, energy and matter-energy interactions can by far, view life as metabolism. Vedic civilization applied mind on this aspect, more than 5000 years ago, and reached the conclusion that the whole universe (all galaxies of the universe) is an egg(anda) of God(Brahman), called Brahmanda. Vedic explantion of existence was enunciated as "like body like universe/yatha pinde tatha brahmande". This statement practically means that the whole universe can be viewed within the human body. Science, however, tends to view the universe outside us, which then has to comprehend distances in terms of light years (time taken by light to travel in years). What science observes are the events that took place millions of years ago; thus it lacks in the current state of affairs. Whereas, concentrating mind in meditation, seemingly encompasses time as a meagre dimension of change. Thus relativity (science) and spirituality (timeless) complement each other. Both science and spirituality may thus respect each other mutually and rediscover what we call existence.

        BLISS versus HAPPINESS

           When God is everywhere, we also have to be everywhere, to be with God: a mantra for eternal bliss given by God is "Om tatsat": Bhagwat Gita.
           If one wants to grow:keep growing to unachievable infinity.If one wants bliss:fall to Absolute zero or Maha-Shunya - lotus feet of God:Gita.
           Permanent place in heaven is a bigger misery than living a perishable life on earth - because one yearns to meet God for ever: exhorts Gita.
           When an identity reaches its highest level of consciousness,it is called Param-Sidh state:for a man/Nar,it is Godhood/Narayan/Eternal bliss.
           Bliss is achievable by keeping in mind our infinitensibility & shedding all ego at the lotus feet of God,i.e., total surrender to Absolute.
           Live,love,practice & surrender to Truth. Make strategies to save truth wherever &,howsoever weak. Thank God for this attitude to avoid ego.

        Happiness - smiling

        Smiling is most welcome exercise of facial muscles that unfurls wrinkles and keeps one young, and also makes one's environment happy.

        Well begun is almost well done!

        Happiness has to go on increasing, as same level of happiness becomes monotonous after sometime.
