Lesson #2 Submission From Katti Narahari

[Guest guest]

Om Gurave Namah.

 

Before SJVC, i had submitted this lesson on Varahamihira and Shri Sanjay had

asked me to preserve this lesson submission and revisit the same in 6 months

time. I take this oppurtunty to try and refine my answers.

 

 

God in my life. God in every one;s life exists in different forms and features.

In my life, i think the questions i have is how god exists in me. God in my

life is that energy that makes in ask questions. The essense of life (my

life), the jeevatma is god. This energy that cannot be precieved unless one is

self aware is god for me. This energy in me is god in my life.

 

To the above submission i would add a few things. The spirit of inquiry is god.

But what kind of inquiry? what is the fundermental basis of those questions?

What comes to me is the inquiries that i have should not be from any set

pattern. The pattern set by our social conditioning. God for me is that state

of of mind that is realized beyond the chains of conditoning. What have you

done in the past one year to come closer to god? Coming closer to to god is one

form of attachement. I sincerly feel that as long as one is seeking he/she will

never find it. What i have done to come closer to god, is by knowing myself.

Because god is not somewhere outside, but god is in me. Seeking and coming

closer to god cannot be done my a particular method. As this supreme energy

exists differently in everyone. For me i think god can be known when i am

aware of myself. When i master the process of identifing the process of my

thought. This is an effort for knowing god in me. Trying to know myself (to be

self aware) is what i have done to come closer to god.

 

The above is what i had posted earlier. Every day comes with new thoughts for

me... some right and many wrong. Guru's would oblige me if they have time to

correct me. Some people say it's cultivation of love that brings one close to

god.... some say surrender... i personally dont know... except for the thought

that love cultivation itself is hope... and the moment hope arises, despair

cannot be far behind. and with despair? comes anger and confusion i think....

isnt anger the end of mind? Surrender to god!!! again with the hope of

something? of bargain or escape? I think for me it's still the understanding of

thought process of oneself makes one closer to god.

God is all or All is god? Both the statements are true as god exists as the

paramatman and god also exists in each beings as jeevatma. Paramatman is the

supreme consicous and the jeevatma is the consicous self with the baggage of

karma.

 

Role of a jyotish different from a priest. The fundermental difference is that

a priest by his services can only relate to the present. it is only a person

who pratices jyotish can read the map of a persons karma from a horoscope and

there by relating to the future aspect to a person.

 

I request all guru's to please comment on my submission and i appologize for the

delay in posting the same. Thanks and Regards Kattti Narahari
