I WANT GOD

 Whenever the wisdom of recognizing what is full of Atman and what is not;

is fully imbibed by the mind,

one finally realizes that the visible is an illusion. 



One is then attracted towards the real thing, one’s own self.


 After getting to know this, he then yearns for more;

that is the constant realization of one’s own self;

which yields him bliss, hitherto never experienced.


Once he gets the bliss, he wants it for ever.


For he feels, that without it;
 everything in this world is worthless.


 Then he starts feeling that he unnecessarily wasted his life till this period by running after the non existent visible,

and strongly desires to get as close and as early to the Para bramha as possible.

 This then gives way to the feeling of being distant from everything except the truth.

 At this stage one should try his best to have self realization.

The desire to see and become a part of the God, then automatically follows.

This is the root of real worship.



Wisdom makes the feeling of being distant from everything, except the truth

 and worship, to congenially grow with each other.





. Having no desire for the visible; is the essence of the feeling of being distant from everything,

 except the truth and the desire to be as close to  God as possible; 

is the essence of worship.




This is easier said than done. 

It requires application of wisdom and insurmountable Sadhana.


It is our mind which works as a curtain between us and him. 

Our mind creates all the illusions including the one that I am the body and the body is me.

This in itself is a hindrance in recognizing the God inside us.

 Our mind should unify with the universal mind. 

We should make a conscious effort for this change. 

If our mind becomes very clean, very broad and without any vices then it can unify with the universal mind and become knowledgeable.



By constantly remembering the God,

one gives an impetus to the hidden powers of our mind,

 which make it easy for us to unify with the universal mind.


What happens when you see God?  :




 At this point of time, the life of the live form vanishes without death

 and he becomes a God himself! 


One experiences that he is Parabramha occupying the whole of the universe!

 This and nothing else is what happens when one sees the God!

..............


The common man is deeply drowned in the worries of the family life. Even if he succeeds in being happy with it he is confronted with another problem and an increasing worry. This cycle continues.

 It is difficult for him to get into spiritualism easily.

He has to really put in yeoman efforts to pursue the path of spiritualism. It is almost impossible for him to remember the God while he is leading the family life. He therefore has to, with great effort create an atmosphere wherein he can remember the God for some time and try to increase that time to an extent that he remembers the God always.

THE FIFTH SAMAS – SANTSTAVAN (IN PRAISE OF THE SAINTS)

 I now salute the Sages and the Saints who are the pillars of the spiritualism.



The ultimate knowledge about the self is in micro (ati sulkshama) form and very difficult for the common man to even have a view of it,

 it reveals itself on account of these Saints.




 Parabramha is the utmost difficult thing to acquire.


It is the greatest acquisition.

It is made possible only with the companionship of the Saints.



In reality,  the real self or the Atman is very evident.


It is yet invisible because we try to see it by the eyes using our so called power of senses.


However hard you may try, it still eludes you.

No light source can illuminate it for it to be visible. 

There is no need for  it. It has a luminosity of its own.

The only clause is you must be capable of recognizing it through not your senses but by your whole being, your Atman, by everything that is yours.


There are only two types of people available on this earth who can enable you to accomplish this and those are the Guru and the Saints.


Spiritualism metamorphoses the human life and gives real meaning to the life. It helps in completing all your so called duties. It is the final place for peace for not only the common but also for the highly knowledgeable and the Sadhak. One who gets the cream of it is the real King. Those who don’t get it are beggars notwithstanding their so called wealth as there is nothing which can even remotely match the spiritualism and its fruit, the Parbrahma.

 Only those who have performed  selfless service in the past,  get going on this path.

Human life gets the final contentment only when one knows the spiritualism and follows it to the hilt.

Others are sinners who have to revolve in the endless vicious cycle of birth and death.

 I would go the extent to say that those who don’t live their lives for the acquisition of the Parbrahma, and remain contented with their family and material pleasures are utter fools

 and the wise shouldn't  even look at them.


 Therefore my request to everyone is to seek the spiritualism by worshiping the God and give meaning to their life. It not only takes care of you, but your ancestors too!
