Query:
Why did Albert Einstein not read Bhagavad Gita in so many years?
Vijay Kumar:
The
prime reason why Albert Einstein failed to understand Gita in the earlier years
of his life... every scientist in the world... rather science demands proof. In
the system of God it is absolute faith that rules the roost! Devoid of absolute
faith in God almighty and searching for proofs at every stage of life... most
scientists' world over never come to understand Bhagavad Gita!
Bhagavad
Gita of Hinduism... the most sacred of all scriptures existing on Mother Earth...
the doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna is without a parallel! This is the
first and only scripture available on Mother Earth that makes it possible for
human beings to reach the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally
salvation (moksha).
Bhagavad
Gita can never be understood literally. One needs reading in between the lines
to understand the essence of Wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita. Mounted with a
bloated ego, wanton desires and greed for materialistic riches most human beings
on Mother Earth try reading Bhagavad Gita literally! They remain wherever they
are always and ever!
Bhagavad
Gita gives the gist of life for both the ephemeral and the inner world. Whenever
we get stuck in our day-to-day affairs of life it is Bhagavad Gita that comes
to our rescue. Mahatma Gandhi relied on Bhagavad Gita most of the time. In the
present times E. Sreedharan the man behind Metro in New Delhi follows the Sacred
Bhagavad Gita considering it sacrosanct!
Sri
Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana... both gained enlightenment in their
lifetime by following the Wisdom contained in the Sacred Bhagavad Gita. Both started
in search of God through the path of Bhakti yoga. At a certain stage in life the
path of Bhakti yoga finally merges with the path of jnana yoga!
Truthfully
spirituality is much beyond the fold of science. Spirituality starts from the
place where science ends. It is something beyond proofs that paves way to understand
the sacrosanct Bhagavad Gita! And that something is the power of absolute faith
(aka Shraddha in Hinduism).
In the last
moments of his life when Albert Einstein realized his folly... he let go his ego,
the search for proofs and Bhagavad Gita started unfurling before him slowly. But
it was too late by then. Albert Einstein had grown old and in spite of all his
serious desires and wishes in the later stages of his life... he could not assimilate
the Wisdom of entire Bhagavad Gita!
Albert
Einstein throughout his life wanted to follow Bhagavad Gita from the angle of
science. He bitterly failed. Science is necessary for living our day-to-day life.
The Sacred Bhagavad Gita makes us reach our true inner self... our soul atman
within! The moment one realizes the truth of life... one finally gains enlightenment
and then salvation!
Albert
Einstein is the only scientist in the world who used his brain 4%. Most human
beings never use their brain more than 1%! All enlightened ones use their brain
hundred percent! Albert Einstein was far above normal human beings... other scientists
of his era! Whatever little he deciphered from the Sacred Bhagavad Gita... he
felt absolutely elated!
