Query:
I want to go deep into Meditation... live a Spiritual Life... Realize God and serve the
world in terms of spiritually healing people to help them live a positive
life?
Vijay
Kumar: Fundamentally you
are living a wonderful life... do not let it go at any stage of life! It is quite possible that wanting to do
good for others sometimes results in our working getting disturbed! To lead a spiritual life amidst jugglery
of mortal world requires highest level of meditation yoga that can be practiced by human beings!
Try understanding the fundamentals of spirituality! Learn to distinguish spirituality from
religion. In no way spirituality is related to religion... the path of rituals! Spirituality takes one directly to
abode of God. Remaining immersed in religion people get nowhere... I have seen people religiously going to temples
for years but to no avail!
Leading a spiritual life has its advantages... the
inner peace and calm always prevails in the family! I again emphasize that it is not easy to lead a spiritual
life in the midst of day-to-day travails of mortal life! It is rather very difficult... almost impossible to
travel spiritual path in the present Kali Yuga... dark age... metal age!
Mahavira... the 24 Tirthankara of Jainism (preceptor) was absolutely clear on this point!
Mahavira rightly said, do not preach until you become a Mahavira... a Jina... an enlightened one! My advice to you
also is... do not indulge in giving spiritual advice to people who do not desire it of their own... be it your
family members or outsiders.
It has been made amply clear in Bhagavad Gita... do not impart teachings of Bhagavad Gita to
one who is not eligible for it! Why not tread the spiritual path and reach higher levels of spiritual realm as
advocated in Bhagavad Gita! We can always indulge in Satsanga (spiritual discussion) with like-minded people
whenever we desire!
We definitely can indulge in spiritual healing of people who truly desire it! But then we should also have the
technical competence to spiritually heal people! I have yet to come across a single person in my life who could
correctly explain to me the meaning and definition of spirituality! Most human beings world over are unable to
differentiate between religion and spirituality!
Religion helps us in living the manifest 70 to 80 years of life in a meaningful manner!
Spirituality simply means knowing our true inner self... the reality of our soul atman... the spirit within! The
path of pure spirituality can only be traveled by following precepts contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism!
Bhagavad Gita is the foremost of all sacred scriptures existing on mother earth!
In present times other than Bhagavad Gita we need not follow any other scriptural texts! Why?
Bhagavad Gita is the summum bonum of spirituality... the epitome of spiritual truth! Bhagavad Gita contains truth
but only truth! Followers of Bhagavad Gita finally realized God. Knower of Bhagavad Gita finally becomes knower of
all... gains omniscience for all practical purposes!
In the early stages of my life I also felt like
preaching! I not only spent hours... but days, months and years preaching spirituality irrespective of the
fact that most human beings world over could not fathom the depth of my teachings! Finally after reading
literature connected to Mahavira... I realized... I must indulge in gaining enlightenment before preaching
anything further!
In the wee hours of third of August 1993, at 37 years of age I finally realized God! This is
my last birth... the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the last in cosmic life cycle! Nothing more to achieve in the
spiritual world... I shall but attain salvation (moksha)... the moment I leave my mortal frame!
Human form is highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle... only in human form our soul
atman finally gains release from cycle of birth and death forever! Travel in human form is the most pleasant
experience for a soul atman. We do not know what we shall be in the next manifestation... why not travel the
spiritual path now?

Full text of query: I have traveled through many
Asian countries. Recently I realized living on light / foodless living is the best way to deepen within
myself and get close to realize god within. I do lead a very happy family life. I would encourage my wife and
son also to think alike and lead a spiritual life and explore within through
meditation.
I want to go deep into meditation and serve the world in terms of healing people to help them
live a positive life and also encourage every person to follow the path of meditation. Please guide me how to
deepen my meditation sessions and help create better positive energy around and encourage every individual I meet
to live a happy and positive life. I feel that the Indian heritage is so rich and it is a
tragedy that many of them don’t realize that seeking outside is not a solution to find peace and
happiness!
