Lesson 2

[Guest guest]

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">Dear Solai,

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">I was not sure how to answer this lesson. It is hard

to communicate what I feel. Yet I must reply.

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">1.Try to define the God in your life.

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">What or who do we call God.? We can only hypothyze.

Is God also a creation of our mind? If God is that intelligence that created

and sustain the myriad worlds we can not fathom him. We just minute atoms in

his vast infinite creation. Yet how complex are we?. I stand in awe at how

everything works according to plan. Whether it is the law of cause and effect,

gravitation or centrifugal force that keeps everything moving evolving. Some

say that it is the LOVE that that keeps the universe functioning. It is that

all pervading Love that Sun shins over the world day after day every day. Love

is the force that makes the planet move around the Sun keeping to their path.

Gods Love sustains the world. That Love work to evolve matter in to spirit. Our

little human minds and limited senses can not understand that quality and force

of Love that sustains the whole universe , that binds the planets together or

the solar systems together. I stand in awe at his creation. I like to feel that

love and compassion in my heart. When I feel that I like to extend it all

around me radiating from my heart

reaching the edge of the universe as far as I can visualise.

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">2.What have you done in the past one year to come

close to God?

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">I have not done any thing to come closer to God. I

know that God is every where, within me and outside of me. I observe the five

precepts of Buddhism. I try to meditate hoping that God would remove the veil

of maya from my eyes and let me

have a glimpse of reality.

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">3. a.God is all

10.0pt;font-family:Arial"> b. All is God

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">Both statements are equally true. Nothing exists

independent of Gods creation.

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">4.How is the role of priest different from Jyotish?

10.0pt;font-family:Arial">Priest duty is to guide the person to moksha. Priest

can not guide a person to have material success. Jyotish’s role is making

this life comfortable and enjoyable as well as guiding the person spiritually.
