Query: According to sacred Bhagavad Gita and Bhagwat Purana all our deeds and actions
and even thoughts are governed by Almighty! Does it mean nothing is in our hands. What type of Puja should we
be doing everyday!
Vijay Kumar:
The sacred Bhagavad Gita can never be understood by mere reading.
Traveling the path of truthfulness alone... one can infer the Wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita. The Wisdom
of Bhagavad Gita is much beyond the catch of senses. Only when one rises above the mundane affairs of life...
practices absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years... does the concept of Bhagavad Gita become
clear to us.
The complete gist of life contained in Bhagavad Gita is best understood
the moment our Kundalini awakens fully. The fully awakening of the Kundalini is made possible by practicing
absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years. It is the full awakening of the Kundalini that leads one
to opening of the thousand petalled Lotus (the Shahastra Pushpa) existing behind the centre of the forehead
in our brain.
Normal human beings utilize their brain 1% percent. Albert Einstein...
the famous physicist used his brain 4%. Rest lies dormant unused. The knower of Bhagavad Gita uses ones brain
hundred percent... one practically becomes omniscient... the knower of all! In the whole Cosmos it is the
sacred Wisdom of Bhagavad Gita that suffices the cosmic journey of life!
Apart from the sacred Bhagavad Gita... one need not refer anything else.
And what does the theory of karma mean in Bhagavad Gita. As per the sacred Bhagavad Gita every human being
has a total of 1.1 million manifestations for reaching the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana). This
approximately equals to 12.1 million earthly years.
Out of 12.1 million years of earthly travel... what value of single life
span of 70 to 80 years! The prime reason why Bhagavad Gita says the destiny of human beings is practically
fixed. It is not one amongst billions... it is one in many billions and that too in a hundred years span
gains enlightenment. Such people merit taking destiny in their hands!
For the commoner... it is very difficult to exercise restraint in
day-to-day affairs of life! We simply flow with time... totally impaled by the control of senses... human
beings more or less behave like animals! To practices absolute celibacy is almost out of question. Sage
Vishwamitra failed in practicing absolute celibacy... what to say of the common man!
A true seeker of spirituality depending upon ones will power can take
charge of destiny in its entirety. When 11 years of age I wanted to see and meet God. At 13 years of age my
desired turned into firm conviction... come whatever may in this very life I shall come face-to-face with God
Almighty. In whatever phase of life I may had been... I ultimately controlled my own destiny.
Most human beings on Mother Earth are not that fortunate! God Almighty
has been kind to me. Every human being has been endowed by God Almighty with that special power of
discrimination that distinguishes us from animals! Mounted with this power of discrimination every human
being can control ones destiny!
Every human being is the master of ones karma. As we think so shall we
be. We only reap what we sow... Nothing more or less! Every human being is the ultimate controller and master
of ones karma. None can interfere in the working of one... not even God Almighty! God Almighty always acts as
a Dhrista (onlooker)... never interfering with the creation of his.
As to the puja... prayers that one must offer to God... I would simply
say none! We not need go to temples, churches or mosques for offering our prayers to God. God is everywhere.
If we ask anything of God in our prayers... we must remain prepared to offer something in return. One who
does not need anything in life... need not offer any prayer!
Throughout my life I have desisted going to Jain temples on one or other
to text. Finding the essence of God within me as my soul atman... the need for me to go to a temple never
arose. If I were to offer my prayers to God, I would ask God Almighty to give me purity of thought! That was
the end of it. As a true seeker of spirituality traveling the path of absolute truthfulness is most
essential... above everything else!
I have observed people ritually offering prayers to God for not one but
many years... result absolutely nil! They were only asking God for favor... never desiring to offer Almighty
anything in return! They never understood the gist of cosmic life. In the cosmic system God Almighty never
offers free lunches.
Everything in the cosmic system is run by the doctrine of karma. Our
karma is governing in all affairs of life! If we indulge in positive karma all the time and earn Punya karma
in return... where is the cause for offering further prayers to God! Ritually offering a pray to God means
nothing! God Almighty only accepts those prayers which are without preconditions... such prayers in the
domain of human beings are rarely to be found!
Furthermore I would like to clarify one point which is important for
ladies. In the history of mankind only two ladies have gained enlightenment until now. They were Gargi and
Maitreyi in whose memory the Gargi and the Maitreyi College in New Delhi, the capital of India stand
testimony! It was destined by God Almighty that ladies do not gain enlightenment. Why so? This has been made
aptly clear by me in many essays on my websites particularly on Moha (attachment).
The path is difficult but not impossible! We must be absolutely clear
about our goal of life! Only then one succeeds in life. Most human beings do not carry a goal in life. Their
life is like a rudderless boat going round and round in the ocean. Having a goal in life is journey half
covered. The moment I firmly decided upon a goal in life... I made it!
