Do worship of God with full freedom of mind Don’t put rules in the worship, in which case, the mind having inherent free nature revolts and drags you to the other side. Do worship with full freedom of mind. Don’t fix place and time-span for worship. Let it be any place and the time span shall be as long as the free mind follows it. The best worship is to get inspired by the divine personality of God in devoted discussions with limited number of devotees (Satsanga). Worship does not mean taking bath, wearing silk cloth, sitting in worship room, putting flowers to photos and statues, reciting prayers containing full lies to fool God and offering food materials to inert photos and statues so that the food offered is totally eaten by all of you only. Every step here is totally waste because there is no inspiration for God anywhere. Even if inspiration exists, it is only artificial because you are acting as emotional for getting some benefit from God. Your emotion is about the fruit (to att...

Defects and merits of Christianity , Hinduism, Islam Hinduism has two defects. The first is that all the rituals are not conducted in the mother tongue. The rituals involve hymns in Sanskrit. In the ancient days, Sanskrit was the mother tongue of the sages. They understood the meaning of the rituals and were very much interested in God. Every ritual explains about God only directly are indirectly. Today the rituals are like the dead bodies without life. Their real aim and purpose is lost. Not even a trace of devotion is developed through any ritual. At least the priest should translate the hymns and should create interest in the ritual. If you observe the other religions, this defect does not exist because all their rituals are performed in their mother tongue. This is the reason for the sincere devotion in Christianity and Islam. Added to this, like Ghee for fire, the concept of only one present human birth in the other religions has developed tremendous interest in God due to fear. I...

3 instruments in Spiritual Effort         There are three instruments (Trikaranas) in the spiritual effort, which are mind (and intelligence), words and work.  The mind is transformed into work straightly and there is no need of words for transformation of one’s own mind into work.  Meera (a female Devotee) did not sing to convert her mind in to practice.  She sang for the sake of the world in the divine mission and not for her personal practice.  Similarly, Shankara ( a previous human incarnation) did not debate for His personal practice because He left the house (practice) even before the debates.  His debates were for the world only.  Therefore, the middle instrument (words) has no significance in your personal progress.   It is used for the sake of others only in the divine service of the Lord.  The word is a mixture of mind and work of body (throat).  The mixture is not the third component and only two components exist in it.  Hence, there are only two instruments.  One is externa...

Meaning of God said to be ‘Sat- Chit- Ananda’ The relative existence of the world is in the view of God only and not in the view of the soul God is said to be existence - awareness – bliss (Sat- Chit- Ananda). God is not awareness and this is established already. Even though God is not awareness, He knows due to His unimaginable nature. Bliss is intensive happiness and is the property of awareness only. When awareness itself ruled out, where is the place for its property? Still, you can say that God is happy due to His unimaginable nature. The word existence can be straightly accepted. God is the absolute existence and world exists relatively with respect to the absolute existence of God. When the rope is mistaken as snake, the existence of snake depends on the existence of rope only. Hence, the word Sat means the absolute existence. The relative existence of the snake is in the view of rope only and not in the view of snake. Therefore, the relative existence of the world is in the vi...

In this time of kali, which human incarnation is to be worshipped?   Suppose you have identified some human forms as incarnations.  Now the problem comes; who is the real human incarnation among these? Suppose you have worshipped all so that the risk of missing the real human incarnation is avoided.  Suppose you have taken one form and it may not be real human incarnation.  Even then, you need not be worried. Such human form may not be God but certainly he must be a very close devotee of God. Since your filtration is to such high level, the other forms must be exceptional devotees of the highest level.   Suppose you have taken such a strong devotee as human incarnation.  I assuredly tell you, that you are more lucky than the person who serves the real human incarnation. The reason is that God is more pleased if such strong devotee is worshipped, because God loves such strong devotee more than Himself. Therefore you will receive a better fruit in quicker time. Apart from this there is a...

Difference between God & God’s power (the process of generation of world from God is unimaginable)  When God is wonderful, we can call the power of God also as wonderful and thus the first sense of Maya (the power of God) can also stand for the power of God.  In such case, there is no need of the second meaning of Maya which means that the power of God does not exist at all.  The sun is like God and the sunlight or solar energy is like the power of God. Both exist separately and we can say that the power cannot be isolated from the source.  Since, the power cannot be isolated from God, the modification of the power or the world cannot be also isolated from God.  Therefore, Ramanuja said that God and world couldn’t be separated like the property (Dharma or Visheshana) and the substratum (Dharmi or Visheshya).  The problem of changes in the world effecting God is answered by Shankara through the power of God being modified into world instead of God directly.  In such case the power o...

Existance of God-1 From the beginning of the creation of this world, man was searching for God. Some people were satisfied by realizing the existence of God, which was experienced by them through some items of creation and through some important incidents in the life. They never claimed that they have detected God [known Him completely]. They had only analyzed the entire creation and found that no item of the creation is God. They declared that nobody could detect God [know His real nature]. Therefore, they concluded that God is unimaginable. But they said that God exists because they have experienced the existence of God through some items of creation, which are imaginable and through some incidents, which can be analyzed. The medium through which they experienced God can never be God. Therefore, God was unimaginable for them. This is the correct approach to God.  But some egoistic people, who were very confident of their intelligence, analyzed and declared that they detected the real...

Correlating Astrology And Theory Of Karma Astrologers say that you are getting troubles due to the movement of the planets. This means that you are getting the trouble not due to your previous sins. Therefore you feel that you are unnecessarily getting troubles, even though you have not done any sin. Astrologers say that a police arrests you because you are going on a road and accidentally the police is also walking on the same road. You are very anxious to get rid of these troubles because these are unnecessary punishments for you. The astrologers exploit your anxiety by suggesting some remedies. The word Graha (planet) means that system which gives the exact result for your exact deed in exact time. The planets are just the computers. They are inert and are not independent. Only Swami can change the decisions. Therefore there is no use of worshipping the planets. One has to receive the fruits of the deeds whether good or bad (Naabhuktam Ksheeyate Karma). There is only one way to esca...

Human incarnation is God Himself The Paripurna Avatara is that human incarnation of the Lord who radiates the true Divine Knowledge completely. Such a human incarnation can be treated as being identical with the Lord. Let us further analyze the concept of a human incarnation of God and how people understand and approach Him. Let us take an example. Electricity by itself is beyond our reach. It has no form and cannot be seen. However, it can be felt (as an electric shock) only through the medium of a live wire.  Without a wire, electricity cannot be felt by us. Thus from the point of view of our perception, electricity is identical with a live wire. The Lord, who is beyond the reach of the devotee, offers the medium of the human body of an incarnation to reach Him. It is indeed the wish of God that the devotee considers the human incarnation of God as God Himself. The devotee who accepts and worships God in the human body of the incarnation indeed worships God Himself. But alas, not all...

God is never converted into any imaginable item The Unimaginable God is never – converted in to imaginable item of  Creation, even energetic forms – of God are not exceptional to this point. Narayana was a sage, a liberated soul, - got the opportunity to be charged By God permanently to maintain world, - Shiva was an angel ruling the  Northeast corner, charged by God for – dissolution of world, Brahma is Similarly energetic form containing – first created soul charged by God  To create the world, anywhere – no conversion of God into soul. The same story applies to human incarnations, – God and liberated soul.

God and soul differ in the concept of unimaginable nature Valabhinabhovat sparshabhedo nohyataavisheshaat. (As in the case of the roof of the house and sky, there is difference in the effort to touch.  God and soul differ in the concept of unimaginable nature). There are some unimaginable items, which can become imaginable after some time by putting some special effort of understanding.  The awareness is such unimaginable item that can be slowly understood by scientific analysis.  By this, you cannot generalize that every unimaginable item becomes imaginable by putting special effort.  There can be a really unimaginable item which can never be understood by any effort.  For example, the roof of the house cannot be touched by your hand.  But by long practice of high jumps, one day, you may touch the roof.  By this, you cannot generalize and say that you can touch anything by effort.  You cannot touch the sky by putting any amount of tedious effort even through out your entire life.   Th...

Nervous system is required for the conversion of energy into awareness  Kriyaaparinaamepi nadi vidyutprabhava iva vyatyayepi. (Even in the conversion of work into inert energy the nervous system is required like the turbine for the generation of electricity.  Even in the reverse, the nervous system is essential). The work can be converted into inert energy as in the case of conversion of mechanical energy through a turbine into electrical energy.  The mutual inter conversion of work and worker (awareness and inert energy) is not denied.  When you think deeply, heat is generated on the head indicating the conversion of awareness into inert energy.  But for such conversion the existence of brain and nervous system is essential.  We have no objection if you say that the awareness (assuming Atman represents awareness) or work is converted into inert energy or space (Akaasha) as per Veda.  But, the nervous system is required for the conversion of energy into awareness or vice-versa.   Witho...

One must know God as unknown  Atmaadrushyate gitassa ubhayatra shrutisamanvayaat. (The soul is visualized but not God.  In Gita, in both places God is spoken.  The analysis needs reference to Vedic correlation). Veda says that the soul is understood by shrewd analysis and here the soul is the subject and not God (Drushyate tvagrayaa..).  Here, the subject cannot be God since Veda again says that God can never been understood by intelligence and analysis (Namedhayaa…, Naishaatarkena…). Otherwise, there will be contradiction between two Vedic statements.   In Gita, Krishna says that nobody can understand Him (mamtuvedana…) and here the subject is God.  Again, Krishna says that some blessed soul can understand Him essentially (Kaschitmam….).   Here also the subject is God.  This appears to be a contradiction.  But the word ‘essentially’ means that God existing in human incarnation can be realized as unimaginable after filtering the entire medium. It again means that God is unimaginable.  ...

Food is the source of the soul Annabhavah prachurayavikarasamanvayo bhaago jivaatmaa. (The Jiva and Atman are modifications of matter or food only forming a part of creation only and the senses of plenty and modification can be correlated).   The inert energy devoid of all qualities of life is the soul (Atman), which is Nirgunam. This inert energy in association of nervous system is transformed into a special type of work or awareness by which the transportation of information to the brain through nerves takes place.  The chip storing the essential information running for the past millions of births is called as Jiva or individual soul.  When the food is taken, it is converted into inert energy with the help of oxygen and this inert energy is converted into awareness or work in the nervous system.   The capability of transportation of knowledge depends on the available inert energy.  The information existing in the chip is also transported to the brain and this strong information influ...

Financial Corruption in India [What is the reason for India not developing compared to Christian and Islamic countries?] O Learned And Devoted Servants of God, The basic reason is only corruption that always hinders the development of the country, which is based on the public works like construction of dams etc. If you see the construction of dam by Mr. Arthur Cotton on Godavari River, there is no much damage even after 100 years. But if you see the public constructions like roads and dams done by Indians, their lifetime sometimes is only a few days! Does this mean that Arthur Cotton was not as intelligent as Indians to do corruption in the project? The lack of corruption does not show the lack of intelligence in his case. It shows only his awareness of right spiritual knowledge as the background.  Similarly, we don’t see much corruption in Islamic countries. Why corruption is in its climax in India only? Does this mean that there is no spiritual knowledge in India? We say that the spi...

Veda as reference There are several religions and there are several scriptures corresponding to these religions. We must fix a scripture as the primary standard so that other scriptures can be standardized with reference to that. The other scripture also becomes standard with reference to which some other scripture can be also standardized. This is called as the process of standardization in Science. Such a primary standard can be the Veda. I know immediately the colours of your faces will change. Immediately you will blame Me that I am not the preacher of Universal Religion. You will misunderstand Me as the preacher of Hinduism in guise. This situation will arise even if I take the scripture of some other religion also as the primary standard. The misunderstanding is inevitable and unavoidable. I have to take one scripture of some religion and I have to be subjected to the criticism. Therefore, I ignore the criticism. I know what I am in My inner consciousness. My inner self is the re...

Praying God to solve a problem is the most foolish path of ignorance God optimize the sequence of fruits of deeds of a soul God created this world with happiness and misery, which are alternating in the cycle like the plates in a moving wheel. God arranged the fruits of good and bad deeds in alternating manner even though good or bad deeds are done in a long sequence.  This reshuffled arrangement of happiness and misery resembles the sweet and hot dishes in the meals and also resembles to a cinema containing both scenes of happiness and tragedy in alternating manner.  Such system of alternating arrangement gives continuous entertainment not only to God but also to the individual soul.  Thus, the basic intention of the God is only to entertain Himself and also all the individual souls. Anything, either happiness or misery bores, if it is continuous.  Boring itself is misery.   If you have compelled God to give happiness continuously though your prayers and worship, God will drag the hap...

GOD COMES TO THIS WORLD TO PREACH DIVINE KNOWLEDGE-BUT NOBODY CARES HIM! As already told, the best worship in this world is the worship of the present alive relevant human form  directly. The identification of such human incarnation is by Its  wonderful knowledge only. The reason is that the true knowledge alone can lead you to the goal in the spiritual path. Miracles should not be taken as the identification because miracles only mislead you in the wrong direction since you are always tempted to use the miraculous power to solve your selfish problems. Moreover, miracles are exhibited even by demons and evil people having black magic also by attaining the power of God.  The power of God is transferrable but not the knowledge of God. Hence, the Vedas say that knowledge alone is the identification mark of God (Satyam Jnanam…, Prajnanam…).  Knowledge is said to be the characteristic of Sattvam. This does not mean that the incarnations of the deity of Sattvam, Lord Vishnu, alone preach kno...

 Satguru preaches Complete & True Knowledge O Learned and Devoted Servants of God, Guru means the preacher, who removes the ignorance so that we can see the truth clearly and differentiate the right from wrong. The ignorance is like darkness in which you cannot find the existence of an item and also you cannot differentiate the different items. Gayatri mantra says that the Guru is like the Sun, who removes the ignorance–darkness by knowledge-light that initiates the intelligence. The word Guru Purnima also indicates that Guru removes the darkness-ignorance like the full Moon in the night. Thus, Guru is compared to Sun and Moon, who remove the darkness-ignorance. There is difference between Guru and Satguru. Both preach the correct knowledge only. But, the knowledge preached by Satguru is complete and the knowledge preached by Guru is incomplete. Guru is a human being, well-versed in scriptures. Satguru is the God in human form. The word ‘Guru’ denotes the human form. The word ‘Sat’...

Differentiate Satguru & Guru In the word Satguru (Lord in human form), the prefix ‘Sat’ means truth. A Satguru always preaches the truth. Truth is always harsh and is not liked by several people. Therefore a Satguru will have only very few disciples. A Satguru says that the path with thorns will lead to the Lord. People will not like this. He also says that the path with flowers leads to hell. People will not be happy with this preaching. A Guru preaches which several people like. The Guru says that the nature of the goal will be the nature of the path. Since the Lord is full of bliss the path also must be with flowers giving happiness. Since the hell is giving you lot of pain the path with thorns which also gives lot of pain must lead to the hell. This argument is very attractive.  Several people will like this and will become the followers of Guru. Several people will praise him and give lot of Guru Dakshina because his argument is pleasant. But a Satguru says that the path with ...
