Query: I would like to get on to path of spirituality. I want to know how many hours I need to meditate every
day? I go to forest and resort to silence and meditation. What are your general
guidelines on this spiritual journey?
Vijay
Kumar: I had sent quite a detailed
e-mail earlier! I have nothing much further to say! The path of pure spirituality is based on contemplation!
However intelligent the teacher is... it is intelligence of student that is in question!
As many human beings... as many different paths to God Almighty can there be! You have to
search for your own path! The essential ingredients on path to spirituality have already been detailed by me. Until
we assimilate all that is contained in various articles essays on my website... unless we practice absolute
truthfulness always and ever... we can never expedite the spiritual journey!
On the path of pure spirituality there never are
shortcuts or free lunches! Everything results from karma performed! In his famous book, "a brief history of
time" the famous physicist Stephen Hawking stipulated that the system of God is disordered at some stage! The
ignorant scientist failed to realize that spirituality starts from the point where science
ends.
Science demands proofs that are not forthcoming in the field of spirituality! As ordained by
God Almighty... the entire field of spirituality is governed by absolute faith in God Almighty! Mounted with this
absolute power of faith in God... the practice of absolute truthfulness... I finally realized God in 1993 at 37
years of age!
I again repeat... In my entire life of 54 years I have yet to find one who can detail to me
correct definition of spirituality, religion, karma, Dharma, God, reincarnation, atman, yoga, meditation... rather
total terminology related to spirituality and Hinduism! Gaining essence of life demands highest level of perfection
that can ever be practiced by human beings!
Ifs or buts carry no meaning in field of spirituality nor do desires or wishes! Our goal of life has to be
pinpointed and clear! Something that is required to be achieved in a lifetime of 1.1 million manifestations... if
we desire achieving it in a lifespan of 70 to 80 years... we need to work hard always concentrated on our goal of
life!
In 1984 when I had the opportunity to migrate and settle in USA... after a lot of
contemplation I decided... migrating from my motherland and settling in USA was not my cup of tea. Had I gone to
USA then... my bank balance as of today would have been around $2 billion... but one thing is certain... I would
never have realized God in my lifetime!
I truly love the American way of life... their way of living on day-to-day basis... the
perfect law and order situation! During my three-month stay in Chicago in 2008, I could visualize it all! No matter
what... however best Americans tried now... the ball has already been rolled! The final strike would be by
terrorists... the WTC affair of 2001 only a preamble of the main show!
Having faith in God... contemplate on God in the best possible manner! May God bless
you!
