Every thing in this world is good – since God created it

Every thing in this world is good – since God created it

 

After attaining God through knowledge, - practice is the next step,

Ignorance of all things other than God – is essential for concentration.

Veda says that OAM is bow, soul is arrow, - God is the target for you,

Here the arrow is not the target, - hence the soul is not God at all.

First knowledge of bow, arrow and – target is necessary and then

Action of applying arrow on bow – and diversion from sides is action,

Finally fixation of eye on target is – achieved by the ignorance of

All other side items only and such – ignorance is final concentration.

Thus, ignorance or rigidity is – created by God for good purpose only.

When it is used in proper place, - it becomes good and hence,

Every thing in this world is good – since God created it.

Anything becomes bad when – it is used for other purpose than

The purpose for which God created it, - even in Pravrutti, it is needed.

 

When a friend hurts you and repents, - you have to forget the past,

Here ignorance of past is needed, - devotees are born from Shiva only.

Radha and Hanuman were rigid devotees, - even Gopikas were also

Followers of Shiva as sages in – past birth with pasted hair and skin,

All their physical nature indicates Shiva, - hence Ramanuja told that

Shiva is the king of devotees, - it is unfortunate that Vaishnava devotees

Criticize Shiva, are they not demons – like Hiranyakashipu who criticized

Vishnu? When Uddhava came and–started preaching Advaita philosophy,

Gopikas told that there is no space – in their minds other than Krishna.

 

They were rigid to learn anything – other than their Krishna, who was

Their contemporary human incarnation, - similarly Hanuman was rigid

In His firm faith on Rama in spite of – various severe tests of Rama.

God born as Master is Vishnu, - same God born as devotee is Shiva.

Accept everything whatever you are receiving from this world. Either you are getting happiness or sorrow, just accept it because this is the fruit of your own actions. When you will start accepting everything, you will see that

"Acceptance has changed all the bitterness into sweet nectar."

 

Don't be a believer, be a seeker

What about a woman or child that has been raped?

The Lord is the father of all the souls. Your love on another human being is only brotherly love. The love of the father is far greater than the brotherly love. You are criticizing your father for punishing your brother! The father tries His best to transform His son. On the first day of the war Ravana was defeated by Rama. Rama could have killed him on the very first day. But Rama, asked Ravana to go back and think that night. The Lord punishes any one as last resort. Even then, the Lord doesnot have anger or hatred. The punishment is only the last method attempted for transformation. There also the aim is only transformation. But when you punish your enemy such aim does not exist. Therefore the punishment by Lord is also reflecting His divine love and kindness on the soul. Due to such sacred aim the Lord is authorized to punish the soul. He is just like a teacher who punishes the student for his misbehavior. The teacher does not get any sin in such punishment. The reason again is that the intention decides the action.

 

Therefore when you live in the world, according to instructions given by the Lord, the Lord is pleased with you. The Lord will make you happy in this world. Your happiness in this world is an indication of His grace. Therefore you will be happy in the upper world also. He is the only one lord for both the worlds. Therefore if you are unhappy in the worldly affairs, you will be unhappy in the spiritual matters in the upper world also. If you are blessed in this world you are also blessed in the upper world. Therefore you follow His commandments and be happy in this world. When you are serving the Lord you should be happy in the sacrifice. You should not sacrifice to the Lord with unhappiness. The sacrifice with unhappiness will make the Lord unhappy. The result of such service is unhappiness in the upper world. Therefore it is better not to sacrifice if you are not happy. Why should you purchase the unhappiness with such sacrifice? Are you unhappy when you are sacrificing to your family members? Therefore the sacrifice without any force or unhappiness is not only waste but also brings negative results in the case of Lord.

 

In the case of family members if you sacrifice with unhappiness it is waste. Therefore the intention is very important for the Lord. You should not do any sacrifice aspiring something in return. Such sacrifice is only a business. The business done in the case of your family members may bring benefit or loss. But in the case of Lord the business always brings loss. Therefore live in this world according to the instructions of the Lord given to you with regard to other human beings. With regard to the Lord do sacrifice and service to the Lord to that extent only up to which there is no force or pain or business.

 

The Lord is the writer of the constitution and He knows whom to punish. Some times you see punishment of innocent person. You think that the injustice is ruling. In the kingdom of God only the justice is the ruler by the grace of God. When the innocent is punished, the punishment was of some bad deed done by him previously and the date of the punishment coincided with the present incident accidentally.

 

 

God created all the souls and has the attitude of father towards His children. The father sometimes may have partiality in showing the love equally to his children. But God is always having infinite love for all the souls in equal manner. Even the punishments in the hell are meant for transformation of the souls from lower level to the higher level. God always tries to help the soul even if a trace of possibility exists in the cycle of the deeds.

 

One soul need not recommend about the other soul to God to show the grace. If somebody recommends to his father regarding the welfare of his brother, how foolish it looks! No soul should recommend to the God about other soul for protection or for showing the grace. If any soul recommends like that it is only insulting the infinite love of God. It is only the climax of the ignorance and the emotional love on the other soul, which lacks even the basic analysis of spiritual knowledge.
