Query: How blessed are you to attain
Self-actualization. I want
to calm this mind, weed out Negative Thoughts and try to attain the Bliss you have been
blessed with!
Vijay
Kumar: You say... I have attained
self-actualization! In spite of above 3000 articles and essays existing on my various websites... you still
remain ignorant on the subject! What I have achieved in life is not self-actualisation... I have reached the
end of cosmic life... stage of self realization (termed enlightenment by many)!
Self-actualization has nothing to do with self realization or enlightenment! Self
realization... enlightenment is that stage in the life of human beings when our soul atman reaches stage of
absolute purity! Having regained its lost original pure prime pristine primordial form... the liberated soul atman
need not manifest a body further!
The need for soul atman to manifest a body now ceased
to exist! Karma having negated to zero... our soul atman finally reaches cosmic end of life... the 8.4
millionth manifestation when human beings gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation
(moksha)! Gaining enlightenment means our soul atman need not manifest a body
further!
Ever since a soul atman started its cosmic journey of 8.4 million manifestations... an
earthly life cycle of 96.4 million years... it desires reaching 8.4 millionth manifestation at the earliest! The
initial 7.3 million manifestations occurred in insect, plant and animal life! In the remaining 1.1 million
manifestations in human form... we are expected to reach stage of enlightenment and finally salvation!
Travel in human form is the most pleasant experience for our soul atman! Only in human form
our soul atman finally gains its release from cycle of birth and death forever! As detailed in sacred Bhagavad Gita
of Hinduism we are a cosmic being... a soul atman that has manifested human form to work out its karma... remove
dross impurities within!
As the soul atman of its own remains inert... it needs manifesting a chain of bodies to cleanse itself of dross
impurities within! Similar as one KG of pure gold sandwiched in hundred KG lump of gold ore cannot extract itself
of its own and needs external mining machinery and processes... every soul atman also requires manifesting a chain
of 8.4 million bodies!
Reaching the stage of self realization is no ordinary task! In the last about 150 years
amongst 7 billion people existing world over only two persons succeeded in gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)
and finally salvation (moksha)! Both Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana gained enlightenment in their
lifetime!
If we truly desire gaining enlightenment in present life time... we have to establish
absolute control over five senses and mind! In the present materialistic world gaining control over five senses and
mind seems impossible... prime reason why God Almighty ordained a long journey of 1.1 million manifestations in
human form to reach stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)!
For an ardent seeker of spirituality... for one who desires seeing and meeting God in present life time... nothing
is impossible! Mounted with bulldog determination of Winston Churchill... the willpower exhibited by Swami
Vivekananda any human being world over can reach stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation
(moksha)!
Establishing absolute control over five senses and mind is not a day’s job! Nor can it be
accomplished in months or years! It may take many lifetimes for reaching this stage of life! The sooner we start
our journey of spiritual path the better! As ordained by God Almighty all accomplishments of this life never go
waste!
At the time of death of body... whatever the residual balance of karma of present life... the
same becomes the opening balance for next manifestation! After death of body what gets transferred to next life is
the balance of virtues... never materialistic possessions! By indulgence in positive karma... good karma all the
time we can earn Punya karma!
As per sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism spiritual path is required to be traveled by every single individual human
being all alone! It has rightly been said... as many human beings... as many different paths to God Almighty can
there be! Spiritual preceptors... spiritual masters can only act as guide but the journey of life is required to be
covered by us all alone!
Traveling uncharted path of spirituality is dwelling in unknown territory! Still, we have to
take our chances... we have no other alternative! Slowly establishing control over five senses and mind...
practicing absolute celibacy for a period of 14 years in continuation I finally realized God in 1993 at 37 years of
age!
This is my last manifestation... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! Nowhere to go further I
shall but attain salvation (moksha) at the end of journey! I have reached Mount Everest of spiritual pursuit! Since
1997 I am imparting wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita to world community through medium of Internet!
Stage of self realization is a stage of permanence! Once having realized God we cannot revert back to daily
routines of life! The bud having bloomed into a flower cannot be reverted back to form of a bud! The liberated soul
atman finally enters abode of God... kingdom of God (termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism)!
Throughout my life I followed teachings of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana...
the only two spiritual stalwarts to gain enlightenment in the past about 150 years! Assimilating pearls of wisdom
contained in Bhagavad Gita was another necessity! Teachings of Bhagavad Gita can never be understood literally...
it needs reading in between the lines!
As dross impurities within my soul atman lessened... I scaled higher levels of spirituality!
People find it difficult to assimilate teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita! Path of spirituality demands highest
level of perfection that can ever be practiced by human beings. Practicing patience, persistence and perseverance
of the highest order I finally understood the gist of Bhagavad Gita!
For full awakening of Kundalini Shakti... practicing absolute celibacy for a period of 12 years in continuation is
an absolute must! In a fully charged sensual environment... practicing absolute celibacy seems difficult! For a
serious seeker of spirituality... if we have absolute faith in God Almighty... even impossible becomes
possible!
Spiritual journey definitely demands total concentration towards the only goal of life! On
the path of absolute celibacy... not a single lapse is permitted! Practice of absolute celibacy for a minimum
period of 12 years in continuation finally results in full awakening of kundalini energy! The moment this
happens... complete wisdom of cosmos is at our tips... we finally become knower of all!
Path of spirituality... path of unknown is not free of pitfalls! Do not remember how many
times I had to eat hell for breakfast... how many contemplations of suicide! My resolve to search for God in this
very life was absolute! I was prepared for everything... all was unconditional! I had to see and meet God in this
very life... no matter what! I finally succeeded!
The biggest problem on path of spirituality lay in the fact that human beings consider self as devotees of God! We
failed to understand that God Almighty is not the form of human beings! If a single grain of sand is an independent
soul atman... the whole mound God Almighty! If an independent piece of puzzle is a soul atman... the completed
puzzle God Almighty!
God Almighty exists within every human being... rather every living being in miniscule form
as our soul atman! Practically we are a cosmic being on its cosmic journey! We are a soul atman... the spirit
within that has manifested human form to work out its karma... remove dross impurities within!
The moment complete dross impurities within soul atman removed... the pure soul atman finally
entered kingdom of God (Vaikuntha in Hinduism)! From the first manifestation as an amoeba... to last as human
beings... the goal of life always remains... reaching cosmic end of life at the earliest! Gaining enlightenment and
salvation is a necessity of world created by God Almighty!
We can travel spiritual path now or leave it for future manifestations! Who knows what we shall be in next
manifestation... why not travel the spiritual path now! Becoming an enlightened one is reaching stage of Mahavira,
Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed! Our soul atman is no different from souls' atmans of Mahavira,
Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed! The moment dross impurities within soul atman removed... all
reached God!
Every single human being on mother earth has the potential to reach stage of Mahavira,
Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed! Mahavira... the 24 Tirthankara of Jainism (preceptor) rightly
said... do not preach anything until you become an enlightened one! The concept of devotee is at fault! We can pray
to God... we can worship God but one day we have to realize we have the potential of becoming a man God
ourselves!
In the present idealistic world we find hordes and hordes of religious preachers who claim
reaching stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)! In my 54 years of earthly sojourn I have yet to find a person who
could clearly explain to me the meaning of God Almighty, meaning of spirituality or meaning of
enlightenment!
No matter what the claim of clergy... if we truly desire reaching God in present life time... we have to establish
absolute control over five senses and mind! There is no shortcut for curtailing requirements of spiritual path! On
path of pure celibacy also, no shortcuts are permitted! Full awakening of Kundalini Shakti demands our transmuting
sexual energy to reach our goal of life!
Sexual energy is the most potent of all energies made available to mankind by
grace of God Almighty! God Almighty provides a particular quota of energy to every man and woman month after
month, year after year! By transmuting this potential energy human beings finally scaled all barriers of
spiritual pursuit... reached end goal of life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation!
Before going in search of God decide a firm goal of life! Pursue this goal with bulldog
determination of Winston Churchill with all eggs in one basket! If you have the will, God Almighty would show you
the way!
A thorough reading of my articles and essays on kundalini awakening repeatedly would finally
unveil hidden mantras that pave way for reaching God in present life time! Understand definition of meditation. You
shall slowly learn the art of negating karma! The clutter that exists in your thinking process will also subside
with time!
The excess energy that sometimes disturbs you needs to be transmuted towards the only goal of
life! Invoking pure thoughts all the time is what life is all about! God bless you!
