Query:
I have very little knowledge about spiritual life. I am a
firm believer of GOD. I have many times experienced his (GOD's) help. I believe at times I talk to him and
even GOD replies back to me with answers coming automatically from my inner sense. I really enjoy going to
spiritual places and temples. Recently I had been to ISCON and felt very delighted. Their teachings and books
have been really helpful to me in going ahead on spiritual journey. I believe all religion and real teachers
teaches same thing but may be with different examples or
path.
I have gone
through few books and articles explaining the spirituality, GOD and LIFE, But could not conclude them. There are
many queries in my mind and same keeps increasing. However I eagerly want to know just one among them. Please help
me with the answers of the same for me to lead my journey. Question: As Kaliyug is advancing day by day what life
style or rules should one follow to lead a worth life. So that one can serve GOD the maximum as well as fulfill his
duties as a responsible person being son, husband, father, friend
etc.
Vijay
Kumar: You
are a traveler of religious path... not spiritual! You mix spirituality with religion. Serving god does not
mean anything in spiritual world. A true spiritual seeker never went to temples; all throughout life... it
was never necessitated! As detailed in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism, God never lived in temples. What purpose
does it serve going to a temple, church or mosque?
You do not seem to understand ABC of spirituality. How many people do you think reached God
in the last about 150 years amongst 7 billion people existing world over? Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi
Ramana were the only two spiritual stalwarts who succeeded in reaching God in their lifetime. Gaining
enlightenment... reaching God was not that easy!
For following path of spirituality one
had to be absolutely truthful in life. So much so that for a serious seeker of spirituality... entire family
meant nothing! For a seeker of spirituality... the entire world becomes one large family. Continue living
religious life as you presently do. Do not try to indulge on path of pure spirituality. You would lose
everything what you called your family.
On path of pure spirituality... our establishing absolute control over five senses and mind
was mandated by God Almighty! Furthermore, by practising absolute celibacy for 12 years in continuation human
beings finally succeeded in full awakening of their kundalini shakti. Full kundalini awakening finally resulted in
opening of Sahasra Pushpa (thousand petaled Lotus) existing in brain behind forehead. One immediately became an
enlightened one... a bodhi, a Jina... a Mahavira forever!
Spirituality meant reaching our inner self... our soul atman, the spirit within! This became
possible by dwelling in teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita. Assimilating pearls of wisdom contained in 700
shlokas verses of Bhagavad Gita, human beings finally reached stage of enlightenment forever. Contents of Bhagavad
Gita could never be understood literally... it demands reading in between the lines! Furthermore, path of
spirituality was a one-way path.
Once we started on this journey... possibility of reverting back to daily routines of life
was non-existent! One must always tread spiritual path with caution. Think not twice but many times before
embarking on path of pure spirituality. I have seen many people stuck midway. Some left spirituality after 10
years, some after 15! Such seekers often become patients of spiritual depression.
You would find many essays articles on my different websites relating to religion and
spirituality. Read them thoroughly before taking final decisions.
May God bless you in deciding right course of life in present Kali Yuga, Dark Age... metal
age!
