Query:
I am just wondering WHY we are all here? If God was and is and will be then He
must have been perfect in the beginning. In knowing all things, He must have known
what it would be like to be separated, impure, and, well, human! He must have
known what pain was like, or would be like. He must have known what disease would
feel like. So why on Earth would he manifest himself over and over again? I
really want to concentrate on my enlightenment, but how can I do that?
Vijay Kumar:
Do
you know the biggest mistake people in the West make? They equalize human beings
with God Almighty! Most westerners consider human beings in the image of God!
It is not human beings that are in the image of God... it is our soul atman within
that represents God Almighty. If a grain of sand is an independent soul atman...
the whole mound God Almighty!
Can
one truly conceive the power of a soul atman... even thousands rather millions
of suns cannot equalize the power of an individual soul atman. Millions rather
trillions of atomic bombs cannot equalize the power of a single soul atman! Our
soul atman within our heart is a source of celestial power... much beyond the
comprehension of human beings!
To
think of God being perfect is sheer ignorance! The combined power of all purified
souls atmans in the Cosmos is what we know as God Almighty. With the limited power
of the senses and mind no human being can ever conceive the form of God Almighty!
Only when one gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)... the entire picture of the
Cosmos emerge!
If
God Almighty exists... it exists! The existence of God Almighty is not challengeable
under any circumstances! Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred Scripture of Hinduism
existing on Mother Earth clearly states there is no point questioning the domain
of God Almighty. If we exist... then God Almighty also exists. Why?
Our
existence proves the existence of soul atman within us. If souls' atmans exist,
God Almighty also exists. Why? If we look at the big bang theory... it is a confirmed
fact that only when God Almighty explodes self... the big bang results... never
otherwise! With the explosion of the big bang... all souls' atmans scatter all
over the Cosmos.
And
starts the cosmic journey of every soul atman! With passage of time as the Cosmos
cools down and life supporting planets like Mother Earth develop... all souls
atmans immediately manifest bodies to work out their karma... remove the dross
impurities within! Similar as the dross within an ore cannot remove of its own...
every soul atman also requires a body to remove the impurities within! Only then
pure metal can be extracted from the ore.
This
process of cleansing of the soul atman necessitates every soul atman to manifest
a chain of 8.4 million bodies (an earthly abode of 96.4 million earthly years)!
Only then the soul atman regains its original pure pristine form... gets liberated
from the cycle of birth and death forever! The moment the soul atman reaches the
8.4 millionth manifestation... it is all over for the soul atman within.
The
liberated soul atman finally gains entry into the abode of God... the kingdom
of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism). Reaching the 8.4 millionth manifestation announces
a human being having reached the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)... the
end of cosmic life forever! Having gained enlightenment... the enlightened human
being finally gains salvation (moksha)!
Desire
or no desire... want or no want... every human being at a certain stage in life
has to travel the spiritual path... reach the end of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth
manifestation! It simply cannot be avoided by any human being... come whatever
may!
Everything
in the cosmic system has two facets to life! If we have fire... we also have water!
If we have day... we also have night! If we have God... we also have Satan! If
we have sufferings... we also experience happiness! In absence of happiness...
sufferings do not carry any meaning. Equally in absence of sufferings... happiness
would mean nothing!
Only
by sufferings do human beings remove the dross impurities within! Sufferings form
an integral part of karma. Higher the suffering... more purity does one gain on
the spiritual path! For gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)... one experiences
the highest level of sufferings... something beyond the comprehension of normal
human beings!
Traveling the
uncharted path of spirituality is not a slice of cake! The fact that amongst 6500
million people existing on Mother Earth only two persons gained enlightenment
in the last about 150 years is not surprising! The path to enlightenment is long...
a journey of 96.4 million years out of which 12.4 million years are required in
the human form!
To
reach the stage of enlightenment every human being has been ordained with an earthly
sojourn of 1.1 million manifestations (an earthly life cycle of 12.4 million years).
Truly... a long journey indeed!
Having
realized God in 1993... I have finally overcome fear of death! Death no more carries
any meaning for me! For all practical purposes I have become omniscient... the
knower of all Wisdom contained in the Cosmos! The gist of Bhagavad Gita, Jaina
doctrines, Buddhist scriptures... the Bible and Quran have become like ABCD to
me!
A healthy
mind lives in a healthy body... so goes the adage! For a human being to travel
the spiritual path... maintaining the body fit and fine is a necessity that cannot
be overlooked!
Anxiety...
depression... fear all stem from the fact that we do not have a goal in life!
Having a goal in life is journey half covered. Without a goal the journey of life
is like a rudderless boat going round and round in the ocean. More so on the spiritual
path... having a definite goal is a requisite must!
Simply
going to a temple, Church or mosque never helps! We need tread the spiritual path
diligently. Form a definite goal in life at the earliest. All anxiety... all kinds
of fears... depression etc. would simply vanish! Where is time to worry in such
a small sojourn of 70 to 80 years of life in the human form!
If
boy... how many girlfriends have we met in this life out of above 1000 million
girls existing on Mother Earth. If a girl... how many boyfriends have we met amongst
thousands of millions existing on Mother Earth. How many mountains have I climbed...
how many brooks visited... how much part of the world have we ever seen!
Life
is not contained in the trivialities of life! We need to think big... really big
to become successful in life! As long as you continue invoking negative thoughts
all the time... none can help you! Good people normally associate with people
having a positive attitude in life! You have nothing to lose in the bargain...
always think positive come whatever may!
Different
articles on my website deal with different situations! Essays on forgiveness,
sufferings, God Almighty, Yoga meditation, practicing celibacy would be of immense
help! Every article contains some hidden nuggets of Wisdom! Do not read the articles
literally... try reading in between the lines! My article, "truce with my
inner self"... is a must read!

Travel
the path of absolute truthfulness... your soul atman would become your guide in
life! One can distinctly hear the voice of our soul atman from within only if
we travel the path of absolute truthfulness. The voice of our soul atman that
seems to come from within our heart always guides us on the right path.
When
I was 13 years of age... I could distinctly hear the voice of my soul atman. Guided
by this voice of my soul atman I finally transcended all barriers of mortal world...
I finally realized God in 1993! Having reached the Mount Everest of spiritual
pursuit... I have nowhere further to go! I shall but attain salvation (moksha)
the moment I leave the mortal frame!
Furthermore...
we must presently concentrate on the existing affairs of life! Why indulge in
the domain of God. Why ask for immorality of the body! The journey in human form
is merely a small sojourn in the life of soul atman. What value of 70 to 80 years
of life in the human form compared to a long journey of 96.4 million earthly years
in the life of soul atman!
Always
remember... every single soul atman is an independent piece of puzzle! The moment
the individual soul atman gains enlightenment... it joins the bigger puzzle...
the whole puzzle... gains entry into the abode of God... the kingdom of God (aka
Baikuntha in Hinduism). The kingdom of God is a point of no return.
Having
reached the stage of enlightenment... the liberated soul atman remains in Baikuntha
(kingdom of God) until the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs. The dissolution of
the Cosmos still has many trillions of years to go! Why worry of the future ahead!

Full text of query:
I am just wondering WHY we are all here? If God was and is and will be (in no
time frame like we know of) then He must have been perfect in the beginning. In
knowing all things, He must have known what it would be like to be separated,
impure, and, well, human! He must have known what pain was like, or would be like.
He must have known what disease would feel like. So why on Earth would he manifest
himself over and over again?
I
know that many spiritual teachers say we are here to learn lessons and experience
things. If God was Whole, complete, and all-knowing (which, since we are all God
we must have known and been, too) then why would we all come here to go through
life after life, experiencing, suffering, committing terrible deeds, when we were
perfect, all-knowing, and could just KNOW what it would be like without having
to experience it all just to try and GO BACK to God?
It
would be like being rich, giving away all your money, and then trying over and
over again to get it back again!!!! It doesn't make any sense! I mean, why would
we give it all up, just to struggle to get it all back again? Why would we even
try to separate from the Whole of God if we could all know what it would be like
without doing it?
I also have a fear. I have been through a lot of anxiety,
stress, depression!
I
really want to concentrate on my enlightenment, but how can I do that? I am really
praying for help, relief, and guidance, but now I don't know what to do since
you say that there is no help to be had. It is hard to rely on myself for enlightenment!
I feel like I want to be comforted and healed. Please
help me to help myself. can I invoke Spirits like Jesus, Gautama, etc.? Or do
I have to reach a certain point of enlightenment first? How can I clear my past
life negative energy?
