Why does India suffer with poverty?

[Guest guest]

dear friends

 

Swami Vivekananda cried loudly facing the sky, “ Why India, with such rich

spiritual knowledge, is suffering with poverty”. Only Lord Datta can give the

answer to this question. Today, the answer is given. Any country means its

people and their mentality. Mind decides everything and action follows

accordingly. If the mentality is analyzed, the action and its fruit become

clear.

 

Almost all the foreign countries are blessed with wealth except India. So, the

mentality of all the people in this universe is different from the mentality of

Indians. This difference in the mentalities is responsible for the difference in

the attitude towards God to bless all the countries in the world except India.

 

Let us compare the rituals, which are considered as worship of God. In every

ritual, the essence is to praise the Lord and develop devotion. This brings

universal equality in the rituals. Otherwise, if you say that God is worshipped

by such and such hymns only, God becomes prejudiced since that hymn is

restricted only to that part of the country. When the Lord is pleased, He will

bless the person performing the ritual. In India, does anyone know that a ritual

means worship of God? Let us take the marriage ceremony as an example. Indians

think that once the ceremony is performed, the couple is bonded. For such a

bond, a registrar’s office will do. Then what is the use of the ritual performed

for so many hours? The hymns are uttered in Sanskrit and neither the priest nor

the couple, know the meaning of the hymn. The priest does not explain the

meaning of the hymns. The meanings have inner meanings, which end in praising

the Lord only. It is the foremost duty of the priest to explain

the inner meaning of the hymns to the people and make them devotees of the

Lord. This is the main aim of the ritual. By the time the marriage ends, the

couple should become devotees of the Lord. The devotion not only bonds the

couple but also brings the blessings of the Lord to them. For a mere marriage, a

registrar’s office will do, which can substitute this ritual. Actually, people

are thinking in this way and the youngsters are following them.

 

In other countries, prayers are sung in their mother tongue. Atleast the people

are catching the meaning of the prayers in this case. But, there also, the

priest should explain the inner meaning that can alone bring the divine

knowledge and devotion in the people. But, the situation in India is worse since

the meaning is not known. A priest should be a scholar in Sanskrit and simple

recitation is of no use. ‘Sastras’ say that there is no use of mere recitation

of Vedic hymns (“Ananthajnah…”). People have started using a tape recorder for

the chanting of hymns. The reason is that people think that a ritual is a mere

recitation of hymns. Gita says that knowledge is more important than the action

of the ritual (“Sreyan….”). The aim of the priest is to make the people devotees

of the Lord. This main aim is completely lost. This aim is the aim of the work

of the Lord in a human incarnation. So, the priests are the real helpers of the

Lord in His work. When this aim is lost, the life of

the rituals is lost. The aim of the ritual today for a priest is to get some

money for the labour of recitation and for the people, the aim is to finish the

formality.

 

For a ritual, several people are invited, so that they also become devotees by

that ritual. But now, people are attending the function as a formality only to

bless the couple. Can a human being bless another human being? The people

should become devotees and get the blessings of the Lord by attending a ritual,

if the ritual is done in the right sense. If the priest performs the ritual in

the right sense, the Lord will bless him and the people and also the country

with the immense wealth. The rituals are the paths of divine knowledge and

devotion and not mere formalities or paths of earning some petty money. Today,

Lord Datta is advising all the Indians to rectify this mistake and please the

Lord so that He will bless India with wealth.

 

Let us take good from the west not only in science, but also in spiritualism.

Let us not be egoistic that we are the masters in spiritualism. The Lord never

likes egoism. Good is good and diamond is diamond in any country. All the

human beings are one and the same coming under one category called “Creation”.

The second category is “Creator” who is also only one. People are putting food,

ghee etc., into the fire in the name of sacrifice, which leads to pollution

only. ‘Kapila’, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, criticized such practice as

mentioned in ‘Bhagavatam’. It is only giving food to a deserving hungry person.

Veda says that such deserving person is a devotee or human incarnation of the

Lord, who is considered as fire (“Vaisavnaro Brahmanah….”). Gita says that the

Lord is in the form of fire in the stomach to receive the food. Lord Krishna

with hunger came and asked for the food that was to be offered to the fire and

the wives of the sages gave the food to Him. Krishna

taught the real sense of sacrifice. He discouraged the sacrifice to a God

Indra, for the same reason.

 

In Sadguru, all Gods live as said in Veda (“Yavateeah....”), Offering food to

the Sadguru is like offering food to all the Gods. The word ‘Agni’ comes from

‘Agri’, which means the Sadguru is to be fed first. Fire is only an aid to cook

the food. This incarnation, Sadguru, called ‘Agni’, stands as witness in the

marriage and not the inert fire.

 

Another misinterpretation is about the ‘Gayatri mantra’. Women and some other

castes were prohibited to chant this. You also say that no hymn (mantra) is

equal to Gayatri. Does this not charge God with injustice? Gayatri does not mean

a particular hymn. Gayatri means ‘the sweet style of a song’. Mantra means, that

which spontaneously attracts the mind to chant something again and again. Any

sweet song on God that attracts the mind to sing it repeatedly and gets the

protection of God is called Gayatri (“Gayantam…manantam”). Even a cinema song,

slightly modified in the name of God can be a ‘ Gayatri mantra’. For e.g.,

replace the word ‘Sanam’ by ‘Hare’ in the cinema song “Churaliya hai tumne…”and

sing it on Lord Vishnu. You are singing spontaneously without any force. This is

a mantra. Gayatri means a meter but not a deity as said “Gayatri chandah”. This

takes you near the Lord, because He likes Sama Veda (songs) as said in the Gita

“SamaVedosmi”. ‘Upanayanam’, the ritual in which

Gayatri is given means taking you near the Lord. (Upa= Near, Nayanam= taking

through a song). So, Gayatri is with women and other castes only who sing about

God.

 

Indians are blessed with lot of spiritual knowledge and devotion. Both these are

side dishes in a meal. The main item, which is bread or rice, is lost in India.

The main item is ‘Karma Phala Tyaga’ (as said in Gita) which means sacrifice of

money, which is the ‘Karma phala’ (fruit of the work). Indian scholars have

interpreted the meaning of Karma phala as meditation or chanting songs. So, you

meditate or chant some hymns and at the end say, “ I have sacrificed the fruit

of this work to the Lord!”. The Lord blessed you with good intelligence because

of your meditation and good pronunciation for your recitation. As the work, so

the fruit. Such intellectual interpretation is only due to your greediness.

Indians connect their heart to their children from which love flows. These

connection tubes are large and very long. These bonds are very strong and extend

even to their great grand children. Hence, their heart is empty. They connect

their intelligence to the Lord, which results in such

tricks.

 

The straight test for love is sacrifice of the fruit of your work (money) only.

In the west, family bonds are very weak and the love stored in them is diverted

to the Lord. How much money they sacrifice for the work of the Lord! They fund

even the Indian spiritual centers. Is it not a shame to Indians? The foreigners

consider the Lord is same in all the religions and fund Indian centers also.

They ask their children to earn and live after a certain age. But in India,

people are worried of their heirs in the coming ten generations also, and go on

storing the money. When you love your children, you get happiness, which is

selfishness only, and this cannot protect your children. If you love God, God

can protect your children and that is your real love on your children. Can your

love give longevity to your children? Only God can give longevity. Indians do

not want to sacrifice even a rupee for the Lord. But they want to get the

blessings of the Lord. They want to please the Lord by mind

and words and get money from the Lord! For such purpose, they follow all the

intellectual tricks to please the Lord. They eat the food and say that the food

is offered to the Lord. For this, the Advaita philosophy is exploited which says

that man is God. The aim of that philosophy is to say that a particular man,

like Lord Krishna is God. The philosophy is extrapolated to every man.

 

Showing food to statues is another trick. Offering food and money to a deserving

person is the actual Karma Phala Tyaga in this context. Statues are meant only

to see the incarnation of Lord in His absence, just like a photo of your son who

is elsewhere.

 

A Guru criticizes the student not with a negative view. His aim is rectification

of the defect and gets the subsequent benefit to his student. This criticism of

Indians is done by Lord Datta only to rectify their mistake, to make India rich,

and to get India blessed with immense wealth and prosperity.

Swami Vivekananda himself begged for money to go to America. But today

it seems to attract sishyas to get money modern age Swamis like Datta

swamis who proclaim themselves to be Avtar of Gods use any availble

tactic.

 

Following an REAL EXTRACT on how Swami Vivekananda explains how India

was a rich "monetarily" and how it became poor "monetarily".

 

But todays money making Swamis always use the trick of using the

"Poverty card" on all people.

 

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA ON HOW INDIA WAS RICH MONETARYILY AND WHAT HAPPENED?

COMPLETE WORKS OF SWAMI VIVEKANADA VOL 7 "MEMOIRS OF EUROPEAN TRAVELS"

--------------------------------

 

 

Of all causes which have worked for the present state of civilization

from the ancient times, the commerce of India is perhaps the most

important. From time immemorial India has beaten all countries in

point of fertility and commercial industries. Up till a century ago,

the whole of the world's demand for cotton, cloth, jute, indigo, lac

rice diamonds, and pearls, etc. used to be supplied from India.

Morever, no other country would produce such excellent silk and woolen

fabrics, like the kincob etc as India. Again, India has been the land

of various spices such as cloves, cardamom, pepper, nutmeg, and mace.

Naturally, therefore from very ancient times, whatever country became

civilized at any particular epoch, depended upon India for those

commodities. This trade used to follow two main routes- one was by

sea- through the Red Sea. After his conquest of Persia, Alexander the

great dispatched a general named Niarchus to explore a sea-route,

passing by the mouth of the Indus, across the ocean, and through the

Red Sea. Most people are ignorant of the extent to which the opulence

of ancient countries like Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome depended

on Indian commerce. And when the Turks made themselves masters if the

Roman Empire and closed the trade-route to India for the Italians,

then Christopher Colombus, a Spaniard or Genoese, tried to explore a

new route to India across the Atlantic, which resulted in the

discovery of the America, Columbus could not get rid of the delusion

that it was India. It is therefore that the aborigines of America are

to this day designated as Indians. In the Vedas we find both names,

"Sindhu" and "Indu", for the Indus; the Persians transformed them into

"Hindu", and the Greeks into "Indus", whence we derived the words

"India" and "India". With the rise of Mohammedism the word "Hindu"

became degraded and meant "a dark-skinned fellow", as is the case with

the word "native" now.

 

The Portuguese, in the mean time discovered a new route to India,

doubling Africa. The fortune of India smiled on Portugal- then came

the turn of India the Dutch, the Danes, and the English. Indian

commerce, Indian revenue and all are now the possession of the

English; it is therefore that they are the foremost of all nations

now. But now, Indian products are being grown elsewhere, even better

than in India, and she has therefore lost something of her prestige.

This the Europeans are unwilling to admit. That India, the India of

"natives", is the chief means and they refuse to admit, or even

understand. We too, on our part, must mot cease to bring it home to them.

dear friends

 

 

 

A teacher has two students. The first one is good in theory and the second one

is good in practical. The teacher wishes both the students to exchange their

efficiencies so that both become efficient in both the fields. The teacher is

strong in both the fields and is teaching the theory and demonstrating the

practical in uniform way to both the students. The variation in the students

came due to different psychologies of the two students.

 

 

 

Similarly God is that one teacher. The religious scriptures in all the

countries are uniform. Indians and foreigners are the students of the same God.

Indians are good in deep theoretical knowledge. Foreigners are good in firm

faith and sincere practical implementation. This difference is reflected not

only in the spiritual field but also in the present education of science and

technology. Any depth of theoretical knowledge is useless without practice. An

Indian should learn this aspect from foreigner to achieve the real grace of God.

A foreigner on the other hand has to learn from Indian about the logical

analysis, which gives precise direction in the spiritual effort. The practical

side of the spiritual path is dedication of atleast a part of the work and a

part of the fruit of the work (money) towards the mission of the Lord. This

alone brings down the practical grace of the God. The foreigner is excellent in

this practical side and this is the reason for the foreign

countries to be blessed with lot of materialistic wealth by God. Indians are

very poor in this practical aspect. Of-course, they are very strong in this

practical aspect when the work and fruit of work are diverted to themselves and

their families. They fully concentrate in the work and sacrifice the fruits of

all their works to the welfare of their families only. Indians are experts in

dedicating the words, which are freely given by God in the form of prayers.

They dedicate their minds, which are freely given by God in the form of

meditation. They dedicate their intelligence, which is freely given by God in

the form of logical spiritual discussions. They dedicate the words, mind and

intelligence to God in their leisure time only during which, there is no work.

The Lord always reflects back in the same path. Therefore, the Lord gave good

language, good mental devotion and good intellectual logic to Indians, which are

the results of their own donations in the same phase.

Lord Krishna says in Gita that in whatever path He is approached by us, He

approaches us in the same path.

 

Jesus also told the same in the Bible that one reaps the same seed, whichever he

sows. The foreigner is firm in the sacrifice of work and fruit of work to the

Lord, though he is weak in Meta Physics and analysis of the divine knowledge.

But it will be better for him to achieve the deep divine knowledge also, which

convinces the intelligence. Such intellectual realization maintains the

constancy of such sacrifice. Thus the practice needs the support of such

knowledge. Unfortunately in the case of Indians such practice is not even

germinated in spite of the deep realization. At this point there are two types

of Indians. The first type are Scholars who have realized the true knowledge,

but are unable to practice it and cover their inability by the mask of

misinterpretation. There is no use of preaching this right knowledge to such

Scholars because they can never change. The other type of Indians are those who

are misled by these misinterpretations conveyed by such fraud

preachers and for such people only this right knowledge is meant. Lord Jesus

gave the essence in the form of final conclusions to the foreigners because

there is no need of such deep analysis for foreigners who immediately implement

the final conclusions of the Lord without any further analysis. But if the

logical analysis is also given, it forms a permanent base than the emotion-based

faith. Thus there is a need of exchange of the two separate fields in the case

of Indians and foreigners who are only brothers and sisters because all are the

children of the same Godfather.

 

Indians feel proud of their strong family bonds, which are really hindering the

spiritual practice. Unless one is released from these worldly bonds, one cannot

have a strong bond with the Lord. One cannot join a new institution unless he

is released from the old institution. Jesus preached through the Bible that one

should leave these family bonds with parents, wife, children etc., and one

should be prepared to sacrifice even his life for the sake of the Lord. Only by

such sacrifice one can become dear to Him. Such final conclusions of knowledge

made the foreigners to implement such spiritual knowledge in practice and as a

result their family bonds are weak. The Vedas in Hinduism also say that the

children and family cannot protect the soul. Vedas also say that one should get

detached from the limited family as soon as the realization completes. The deep

logical analysis of such statement is not necessary for foreigners and so Jesus

did not give it. But, Sankaracharya in

Hinduism gave a powerful analysis of this statement. Inspite of such acute

analysis the Indian family bonds could not be broken. However, that deep

analysis of Sankara states that these bonds are temporary since they are limited

to the present human birth only. He establishes that which is temporary is

always unreal. The temporary bonds neither exist in the previous birth nor will

exist in the future birth. Any thing that does not exist before and afterwards

is temporary and such a thing does not exist during the present also and

therefore that is totally unreal. For example, the dramatic bond between the

two actors neither exist before the drama nor after the drama and therefore,

does not exist even during the drama. The real thing is always permanent,

existing in past, present and future. For example, the employer – employee

relationship between the producer and the actors is always real during the

drama, before the drama and after the drama. Thus the bond with God who is

the producer of this world is always permanent and real. This logical analysis

brings the permanent detachment and the realization is alive forever. Therefore

such analytical knowledge, which is very clear satisfies the intelligence and

maintains the detachment forever. Such deep knowledge of scriptures is required

for all the foreigners and for all the exploited part of the Indians, which is

caught by some traditional misinterpretations of some selfish preachers. These

selfish preachers spread the knowledge i.e., convenient to the human beings and

attract them for fame and for earning the money. The right knowledge is always

inconvenient. Jesus told that the path leading to God is very inconvenient and

narrow. Lord Krishna said in Gita that one in millions reaches Him after

millions of births. Such true knowledge repels the human beings and the

crucification of Jesus was the result of such repulsion. But Jesus, as a true

preacher never cared for fame and preached the right

knowledge only. Such a preacher is called as Sat-Guru, meaning that He is the

preacher of the reality.
