Query:
I would greatly appreciate any guidance for me because I really feel that I am
willing to do almost anything for enlightenment. I also feel it is in this lifetime
that it will happen! I believe that it is possible for me to become an immortal,
but to do that, should I focus on God or Immortality? I read that to be rid of
Karma, you only need to realize that YOU put it there, and release it. Is this
true?

As long as
one remains mesmerized on the spiritual path in the belief that there exist masters
who can assist us on the spiritual path... nothing much can be achieved in life!
We need to understand the concept of spirituality in totality!
Who
after all is God Almighty! Is he the form of human beings or a celestial power
much beyond the capture of most human beings! The intelligent human being that
one is can never understand God Almighty from the limited power of the senses
and the mind. Only when we gain enlightenment does the entire picture of the Cosmos
emerge!
If a grain
of sand is an independent soul atman... the whole mound God Almighty! The simple
definition of God is... a cluster of all purified souls atmans in the Cosmos at
a given point of time! The number of souls' atmans that exist in the entire Cosmos
always remains fixed... it is not a variable figure!
And
how does God Almighty operate! At the time of big bang... when the Cosmos forms...
it is God Almighty himself that explodes self to create the Cosmos... the entire
Cosmos consisting of many universes... every universe consisting of billions of
galaxies... every Galaxy consisting of billions of stars... amongst which our
solar system is a small star!
In
the circumstances how can one assume God Almighty or any other Master for that
purpose assisting us! And who after all is a Master! In the cosmic system of things...
there is nothing like Masters that exist in the whole cosmic system! Nothing ever
helps one for there is no place for miracles in the spiritual system. Miracles
are not there to be ever!
If
you read my articles on Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism... you would
understand what I mean to say! Yes... every single soul that has already liberated
and resides in the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism)... the power of
these souls can always be invoked by one! Does it mean we can invoke the powers
of Gautama Buddha or Jesus Christ as and when we require... yes, it is quite possible!
Every
single human being who gained enlightenment and after salvation... the liberated
soul having found a birth in the kingdom of God... these astral powers become
guiding pillars on the spiritual path. If we know the way... we can invoke the
powers of these celestial beings... the liberated souls as and when required by
us!
I have done
it many times... I can not only definitely say it is all true... it is a possibility
for those who truly travel the spiritual path with total sincerity! Gaining guidance
from the liberated souls becomes the forte of those serious seekers of spirituality
who desire gaining enlightenment in this very life!
Every
single Master... every single enlightened soul is approachable! How? If Jesus
Christ operated on a particular mental frequency... and if by any means I bring
myself to that frequency level... whatever Jesus Christ knew in his lifetime would
also become available to me! It would be as simple as if we had dictated the Sacred
Bible in one of our earlier manifestations!
If
we can go to the frequency of Lord Krishna... the Sacred Bhagavad Gita pours out
of our mouth as if we had dictated the Sacred Bhagavad Gita in one of our earlier
manifestations. We are God Almighty in minuscule form. Our soul atman is God Almighty
in minuscule form but containing impurities... the dross within!
On
the spiritual path as the dross within reduces... we climb higher and higher!
I again repeat... miracles are not there to be on the spiritual path! No Master
or enlightened soul for that purpose ever comes on Mother Earth to assist human
beings on their journey! It is only one or two out of billions who invoke the
powers of the liberated souls to gain guidance from them.
In
the earlier stages of my meditation yoga I used to have a round table conference
in semiconscious state. What I always used to do was... I requested all liberated
souls... enlightened ones like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ, Prophet
Mohammed, Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana to take a seat.
And
then started a conference of queries and answers! Whatever I used to ask in the
conference was clearly answered by the enlightened souls! To reach the level when
one has a conference with enlightened souls is the highest stage human beings
reach on the spiritual path. This really expedited my spiritual travel as the
queries within me melted one after another!
The
day all queries within me melted... the need for the round table conference perished!
By realizing God... for all practical purposes I became immortal... a purified
soul! None can become immortal in the physical sense of life! Only after transcending
the mortal world... one becomes immortal forever!
The
bondage of Moha... the attachment one has with the parents, brothers and sisters
has to be cut across forever to scale higher brackets on the spiritual path! In
the field of spirituality infatuation carries no meaning. In the world of souls'
atmans... our body itself is the outer garment... a coat for the soul atman within!
Celibacy
is always absolute. Little desire will always hinder the path. Celibacy does not
mean indulgence in the physical act alone! We need to practice celibacy mentally
also. My articles on celibacy would clear all your doubts. Everything in the cosmic
system... on the spiritual path has to be absolute... there is no place for little
or less!
Meditation
need not necessarily be performed in seclusion! Meditation yoga can be performed
any where! Give at thorough reading to all my articles on meditation yoga. Give
as many readings as you can! Some of my articles contain absolute purity... as
many readings... as many meanings one can infer!
We
also need to understand the crux of karma... the doctrine of karma in its entirety!
Whatever karma is required to be performed by us alone... none other can interfere
in that! We ourselves have to take care of our karma. The doctrine of karma is
a complex subject... we need to understand it in totality!
It
is only through the complex process of karma... the dross impurities within the
soul atman remove! As long as one has a residual balance of karma from the previous
manifestations... our soul atman would continue manifesting one form after another!
The moment the residual balance of karma reduces to zero... one reaches the level
of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed!
The
existence of karma is simply like the existence of impurities that separate the
metal in the ore. If we have a lump of gold ore weighing hundred KG containing
one KG of pure gold... does this not mean that 99 KG of impurities are required
to be separated for extracting one KG of pure gold from the lump!
This
one KG of pure gold is the liberated soul atman devoid of all impurities within!
Through the complex process of karma... this lump of ore is processed! At a certain
stage we have 95 KG of gold ore containing one KG of pure gold! Subsequently we
have 50 KG of gold ore containing one KG of pure gold.
Finally
one reaches a stage when all impurities within lump remove and what remains is...
one KG of pure gold! Does this not mean that one KG of pure gold existed in hundred
KG of gold ore, it also existed in 95 KG of gold ore, and it also existed in 50
KG of gold ore! As the impurities within the ore decreased... the shining metal
became more visible!
Similar
is the case with souls' atmans. As the impurities dross within the soul atman
remove... one scales higher portals of spirituality and finally gains enlightenment
(kaivalya jnana) and salvation (moksha).
One
KG of pure gold having reached its purest state indicates one having gained immortality
forever! The dross can never be infused in the liberated... the refined one KG
of gold! Superficial impurities always exist even after enlightenment only till
the time one takes salvation (moksha)... not further!
Everything
in the cosmic system is absolute. Whatever I state... everything exists in the
Sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism that is available in any of the bookstores existing
in most railway stations in India for a mere Rs 18 ($.40). Still, most human beings
are not able to decipher it!
The
Wisdom of Bhagavad Gita can never be understood literally... we need reading in
between the lines! Only when we travel the path of absolute truthfulness... the
contents of Bhagavad Gita become clear to us! It is only the path of truthfulness
that paves way for soul atman to reduce the dross impurities within!
Followed
by practice of absolute celibacy, Neti (not this, not this) as preached and advocated
by Maharishi Ramana one finally transgresses the ephemeral world forever! Neti
is best followed the Shavasana path of yoga (the death pose). Lying in the Shavasana
pose of yoga... concentrating on God Almighty... one finally transcends all barriers
of physical mundane life!
The
best aspect of enlightenment is one communing in with God on one-to-one basis
and that too permanently. Having realized God in 1993, I am in permanent commune
with God every second of my life! Having reached the Mount Everest of spiritual
pursuit... I have nowhere else to go! I shall but attain salvation (moksha) at
the end of present manifestation!

Always
there to clarify your queries (send
your query),
Full text of query:
You have shared a lot of Truth with me, and I truly understand it. I realize women
have more attachment to things, but believe me, I have little or no attachment
to materialistic things or riches!!!! I know money is of no value in the path
to enlightenment!!!! I DO have a strong attachment to my family. I know attachment
can definitely stall people on their way to enlightenment, because even if the
attachment is out of love, it still holds one back from moving on to higher things.
But I have ALWAYS felt as if I will never leave this life; As if I have a great
thing to do... a great destiny full of guiding others and lighting the way
I feel as though enlightenment is to be REALIZED----as you said, nothing to gain,
but impurity to remove!!!! I am definitely okay with celibacy because I actually
have little or no desire for things like that. I want to become enlightened more
than anything in the world or anywhere; I believe that I can, and I also believe
in the fact that what one believes and concentrates upon, they can and will accomplish
and bring into manifestation!!!! I have had the great desire to go into seclusion
and do nothing but meditate and continue on the spiritual path until I reach enlightenment.
I
want to spend time searching for realization of the Truth and God!!!! I believe
it is possible for me to become an immortal, but to do that, should I focus on
God or Immortality? I know that God IS Immortality! I really feel that I am willing
to do almost anything for enlightenment, and also feel that it is this lifetime
that it will happen! So I am pointed in one direction and will not rest until
I have achieved that! Since you have realized God (enlightenment) are you now
an immortal? If so, you must have contact with Masters. Do you think that they
can help me? (Even though I know that I am a Master and just need to realize that
Master within me).
If
so, could you ask them to possibly come to me and help and guide me? I don't know
what else to do, because like I said, I feel that it is "now or never"
and I really feel like it WILL be and will be MEANT to be now! I read that to
be rid of Karma, you only need to realize that YOU put it there, and release it.
Is this true?
