How to attain God realization and liberation in this life...
Vijay Kumar:
To reach the stage of self realization, the foremost of all ingredients on the
path of spirituality is following the path of Dharma... the path of righteousness
that can only be followed by remaining truthful in life always and ever.
Most
human beings in day-to-day life do not remain truthful. Prompted by their ego...
the wanton desires... the greed for materialistic riches one easily gets bogged
down by the ephemeral part of life. Maintaining a balance between the two... the
physical manifest life and the spiritual domain is really tough... but not impossible!
For
the mankind to reach the stage of enlightenment, God Almighty has destined a journey
of 12.1 million earthly years (1.1 million manifestations on the whole)... a long
journey indeed! The earlier we tread the spiritual path... the better for we do
not know what we shall be in the next manifestation! Our residual balance of karma
may lead us to the animal kingdom... unknowingly! Having manifested the human
form... it is quite possible to manifest an animal body again... all depends upon
the residual balance of karma of the present life!
Before
embarking on the spiritual pursuit... the path of enlightenment and salvation...
we need truly understand the meaning of meditation. None of the paths indicated
by you shall fulfill your desires and wishes. Meditation is not what we think
it to be. Meditation in Hindi is termed as yoga. And what is yoga?
The
effort of the soul atman to enjoin with the greater whole... the supreme Creator...
God Almighty himself is termed as yoga! In Hindi two yog two equals four! The
effort of the soul atman to synthesize with Brahman Parmatman is what we term
as yoga. Ever since our soul atman got separated from the mightier soul himself
(Almighty God)... our soul atman is trying to regain its original lost pure pristine
form at the earliest!
Here
we also need to understand the cosmic theory in its entirety. When the collapse
of the cosmos occurs... the size of the entire Cosmos reduces to half a thumb!
This has been absolutely made clear in the sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. Why
so? It is for the simple reason that devoid of all impurities contained within...
the volume of all the purified souls' atmans in the Cosmos combine together to
form the size of half a thumb.
And
this is exactly the definition of God Almighty. The definition of God can thus
be stated as the combined power of all purified souls atmans in the Cosmos at
a given point of time. This enormous power... much much beyond the comprehension
of normal human beings... unable to contain itself for long again explodes with
a big bang giving rise to a new cosmos... a new journey of life!
Does
it mean that God Almighty explodes himself to form a new cosmos... yes the truth
is so! God Almighty is not the form of human beings. It is pure celestial power...
the potency of which can only be realized by an enlightened one! The moment one
gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) all becomes clear like ABCD.
This
also clarifies why God is everywhere. All the hurtling souls' atmans in their
new journey of life gather impurities similar as a rolling ball gathers moss.
Further down the journey of life no sooner life supporting planets start forming
in the Cosmos these impure souls manifest physical forms. Every soul atman is
God Almighty in minuscule form.
The journey
back by every soul atman to its original pure pristine form requires traveling
a path of 8.4 million manifestations and an earthly abode of 96.4 million years.
This entire span of life covered by our soul atman is one single journey of life!
Body to body... manifestation after manifestation... the life for the soul atman
continues uninterruptedly.
The
concept of reincarnation... rebirth in most religions of the world including Hinduism
is totally flawed! When the death of the soul atman does not occur... the question
of the rebirth or reincarnation does not arise! As a student switches from class
one to two... two to three and three to four... the journey of the soul atman
continues uninterruptedly from one manifestation to another... body after body!
Meditations
on the invisible God... name it Allah... Brahman... Parmatman... Creator... be
it any name does not serve the purpose! Nor will meditation on light. Meditation
on religious masters like Sri Shirdi Sai Baba and Sri Satya Sai Baba would also
not serve the purpose. Meditation through prayers alone also does not suffice.
We
need to meditate in the Shavasana pose of yoga and follow the path of Neti (not
this... not this) as preached and advocated by Maharishi Ramana. Simultaneously
we need to observe celibacy (Brahmacharya Vrata) for a minimum period of 12 years
in continuation. This leads to full awakening of the Kundalini... a sure short
method for gaining enlightenment in this life.
Experiences
on the spiritual path are varied... differing from person to person! As many human
beings... as many paths to god can there be! The rules of the spiritual path are
never defined! We have to travel a totally uncharted territory... sometimes fully
fearsome! During the process of the awakening of the Kundalini... facing a full
hooded Cobra is really scary.
Prayers,
retreats... places of seclusion are simply a means to an end. We truly are a soul
imbibed with impurities. We need not learn anything on the spiritual path. We
simply need to shed away the impurities within. Devoid of all impurities... our
soul atman regains its original pure pristine form and reaches the stage of enlightenment
and salvation.
Enlightenment
announces the ceasing of karma forever. No impurities within... the need to manifest
a body by our soul atman simply vanishes. The relationship between the soul atman
and our body is explained further. Similar as one K. G. of pure gold is sandwiched
in a lump of hundred KG of gold ore... our soul atman also remains impure until
liberation!
Similar
as we require requisite mining machinery to separate 99 KG of impurities from
one KG of pure gold... the impure soul atman also requires a body to work out
its karma... remove the dross within! The removal of the impurities within the
soul atman requires a cycle of 8.4 million manifestations on the whole out of
which 7.3 million manifestations are in the insect, plant and animal form and
the balance 1.1 million in the human form!
The
moment crux of life becomes clear... covering the journey is not afar! Most human
beings in life do not have a goal. Their life is like a rudderless boat going
round and round in the ocean. The moment we have a goal in life... the journey
is half covered! Understanding the meaning and process of correct meditation yoga
is the essence of life!
Simply
going to the temples, churches or mosques as a daily routine of life carry no
meaning in the spiritual domain! Spirituality is far above the clutches of religion.
Dwelling in the thoughts of God is being noble. Maintaining a positive karma all
the time leads us towards gaining Punya karma. It is only at number 99 one becomes
a Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or prophet Mohammed! At hundred one takes
salvation moksha forever!
After
salvation moksha the liberated soul atman goes back to the abode of God... the
kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism)... a point of no return! No liberated
soul atman can manifest a body again. It becomes possible when dissolution of
present Cosmos occurs... leading to a new cosmos... a new cycle of life!
All
liberated souls atmans for all practical purposes remain in Baikuntha... the kingdom
of God for eternity! Whenever we invoke the blessings of a liberated soul... the
energized celestial beings bless us in person. It is not only possible... I have
experienced it several times! Right prayers coupled with proper mantra paves the
way for invoking the blessings of learned ones... souls that have already liberated
having reached the stage of enlightenment and salvation.
Most
articles on my different websites contain clues to gaining self realization in
this very life. To fathom the depths of the wisdom available is totally dependent
upon the individual student. The Sacred Bhagavad Gita... the most powerful sacred
Scripture ever made available to mankind by God Almighty is available for Rs 18/=
($.50) in most corners of India and the world. Still... people fail to pursue
the right goal of life!
