We, human beings, make
an effort to find comfort or relief from our sorrow, suffering, sadness, grief,
tragedies, shortcomings through various means. We go on a vacation after we
become completely exhausted and stressed out from our ten to five job for
months on end, we become engrossed in deep contemplation when we come face to
face with the onslaught of a crisis, we try very hard to divert our attention
and keep ourselves busy when there is an onset of mental turbulence and a
neurosis or psychosis because that is what the doctor has advised as a way to
restore our sanity, women see the need to find comfort in some other man when
their most prized relationship crumbles down, we see the need to gain sympathy
from near and dear ones after a rough tumble from the hands of the ever
manipulative and selfish companionships, while others see the need for
recreation and outdoor adventure to boost temporary happiness and satisfaction
in their lives. Why then in spite of so many medium of temporary escapes do
humans find it impossible to find permanent happiness, satisfaction,
fulfillment and comfort, relief or solace or that magical piece of mind on an
everlasting basis? It is because the only comfort, relief or solace is found in
the field of everlasting or permanent happiness which is God and nothing else.
Let us get into some details and see why.
Innumerable human beings
make an excuse to treat Mother Nature as the One and make an effort to escape
from the idea of the most Supreme Godhead or the miracle or magnificence of
God. The truth is, Mother Nature is only a medium to know God and the totality
and the leela or play of the most Supreme Godhead can only be grasped when a
human being has evoluted to the role of
a spiritual aspirant and becomes one with Mother Nature, which is an image of
God, through the final evolutionary spiritual growth process. The Absolute
awareness about God cannot be gotten or achieved only by admiring Mother Nature
as there is the absence of the Unitarian consciousness to be able to comprehend
what God is about and realising the Infinite and Ultimate One. Mother Nature
can only be a rung on the ladder or a stepping stone to know the most Supreme
Godhead and ultimately uniting with Him
and your effort to comprehend the Absolute consciousness of the most Supreme
Godhead in Mother Nature by employing emotional means shall only last as long
as you sit on the terrace of a resort of a hill station clapping hands in great
delight and gaping in wonder at the beautiful sight of the majestic Himalayas.
Mother Nature can only play the role of a temporary tranquilizer to boost up
your spirits and give you a high but the permanent antidote to give you
everlasting comfort and joy would be abiding in the Kingdom of Heaven forever.
Many human beings follow
rituals and religion as a means to worship and get themselves devoted to God.
Great saints and staunch devotees of God have professed that adhering to
rituals and religion reaps beneficial
results and yields positive fruits. The human beings who adhere to rituals and
religion instrument the body and mind to get themselves devoted to various
man-made Gods. The real fact is that they
have not evoluted themselves to the final evolutionary process and is
only one step away from the Kingdom of God. Since they employ the human body
and mind to execute their devotion to
God, they are in the preliminary level or on the threshold to the field of the
unbounded Self or the Kingdom of heaven. Spiritual aspirants who are
Self-Realised stop following rituals and religion and start their unflinching
and unwavering devotion to the most Supreme Godhead and any spiritual aspirant
who are on their final evolutionary process will tell you that following
rituals and religion by employing the human body and mind are not a direct means to realise and know
God. Therefore, it would be worthwhile for people who follow rituals and
religion to realise that the only true, pure, selfless and unconditional form
of devotion to the most Supreme Godhead can be generated by getting into the
final evolutionary process, a spiritual growth exercise, awakening our dormant
soul, restoring our most prized Self with full awareness, and abiding in the
Kingdom of Heaven forever. The Ultimate comfort and relief to religious
followers from their vast burden of suffering can only come about when they
transform themselves from a religious life to a truly spiritual one.
The knowledge of the
most Supreme Godhead through Gyan, Bhakti and Karma Yog can only make you
knowledgeable about God on a superficial level. Genuine knowledge about God can
only be realised through the most Supreme Yogic path which is Dhyan Yog or the
spiritual growth process. The implementation of the human intellect through
Gyan Yog is an ineffective medium to know God. The knowledge of the most
Supreme Godhead through Gyan Yog can only make you limited about the surface
level knowledge of God within the confines of the human intellect or the brain,
not further than this. Since the impermanent human medium, the intellect, is a
bogus aspect of the human frame, the genuine realisation of the most Supreme
Godhead, which is gotten through the
Absolute or Unitarian knowledge, is but an impossible dream through the
instrumentation of the pseudo subjective aspect, the human brain. True, pure,
selfless, unconditional and the most staunch, the greatest form of love form
for the most Supreme Godhead is realised when we become established in
Self-Knowledge through Dhyan Yog and not through Bhakti Yog. What is the use of
devotion developed through Bhakti Yog when the devout feelings towards God gets
shattered the moment great misfortune and tragedies are met in life. The
devotion generated through Bhakti Yog is something like a great Mahatma having
to pour through the Bhagavad Gita the moment his state of mind starts getting
turbulent. The devotion developed through Bhakti Yog is not unflinching,
unwavering and is impermanent because the human mind which generates devotion
or Bhakti through Bhakti Yog is not a permanent medium to produce genuine
Bhakti or devotion. The essence of Karma
Yog for you to lead a karmic life to attain
transcendental knowledge of the Self and the Supreme can be achieved but in an
indirect manner. Once again, transcendental knowledge about the most Supreme
Godhead can be achieved only on a superficial level and not on a permanent or a
genuine level through Karma Yog because it would not be stupidity to state for
the third time that this Yogic path too instruments the impermanent and false
mediums as the human body and the brain to get to know God. The true essence of
all these three yogic paths can be exercised through Dhyan Yog or the spiritual
growth process. An infinite source of knowledge, a staunch devotion and an
action oriented life can all be incorporated into your life through the most
Supreme Yogic path which is Dhyan Yog. Superficial comfort or relief can be
achieved through Gyan, Bhakti and Karma Yog because of the impermanent and
bogus tools and instruments they employ but the Ultimate solace can only be
generated through the spiritual growth process or Dhyan Yog.
Transcending the fourth
spiritual plane can make you the master of your senses and not slaves to it,
and it can instill in you the primary virtuous qualities like goodness, pure
love and transform you into a great
great adherent of Untouched Virgin Beauty. Permanent happiness is
established once we are residents of the heart centre. Being established in
Self-Knowledge can restore your unbounded, humble and egoless Self with full
awareness and make you wholeheartedly receptive to the Infinite Will of the
most Supreme Godhead. Getting yourself grounded in God consciousness can
transform you into the state of Godhood in such a manner that you start
perceiving God in not only the animate but also the inanimate and you have
found the abode of God and have succeeded in uniting with Him when you become
One with the Absolute.
If you feel you will get
relief if you have the libido to physically satisfy your wife you have got
yourself wrong because genuine relief is achieved only by being a master of the
human senses. Perhaps, you mistakenly assume that achieving success in the
material life can give you immense happiness but you may not know that this
kind of happiness is transient and permanent happiness can only be established
by transcending the Anahat or the fourth spiritual plane. You may feel that
peace can be attained by taming the human mind but the truth is that the most
peaceful Being in the entire manifested Universe is someone who has been
successful in taming his Soul. There are mistaken beliefs that salvation and
liberation can be attained by taking strong religious vows and abiding by
certain rituals but the reality is that genuine salvation and liberation can
only be achieved by transcending God and
Absolute consciousness. The abundant storehouse and source of all comfort and
relief cannot be found anywhere you may go on the planet and by any means but
can be gotten only by awakening the
asleep human soul. In other words, true solace can only be attained by getting
ourselves established anywhere above the fourth spiritual plane or into the
field of God. Therefore, genuine solace can only be gotten hold of by getting
to know the most Supreme Godhead.
