Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 First of all, i am sorry if you get hurt by my statement. I am very much a human being. Shankar already preached that the creation can be understood in comparison with a day dreamer. The ignorance of daydreamer is in full control of the dreamer. He can come out of the ignorance at any moment as per his wish. The creation is considered as an imagination of Lord. Even any human being can also imagine or day dream. From this practical experience we can understand that we are not expanding irrespective of anything happened to the contents of the dream. I mean, the dreamer is not going to be afftected by any changes in the dream. at the lotus feet of shri datta swami surya www.universal-spirituality.org "crystal pages" <rrgb> wrote: > > Surya! > Absolutely wrong, you say?

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 `Why God needs a website? Why God needs money? He can do anything without the help of these things' Swami replied: When the work is possible through the process that follows the laws of nature, supernatural power of God is not used. Only demons exhibit the supernatural powers even if there is no necessity. They want to draw the attention and attract the people for their name and fame. Their aim is not to uplift the humanity. Such attraction creates attention in the people. But it simultaneously creates tension also. The realization and natural love (Devotion) cannot be created in excited state of tension. The devotion should be spontaneous and should be developed in the ground state only, which alone is sweet. This entire universe is created by the Lord only for tasting such real natural sweet devotion of devotees. The exhibition of miracles always creates fear and tension and a natural flexible state is not possible, in which only the sweet devotion can be tasted. The tension will block your mind and you will not dare to clear your doubts. It is not congenial for the growth and expansion of divine knowledge. Unless there is a bare necessity the Lord will not perform miracles. When the work is not possible through natural phase, then only the supernatural power lightens. Even if the miracle is performed the Lord will try to hide it so that the natural state is balanced. When Lord Krishna covered the sun with His divine wheel, He interpreted it as the cover of cloud. The intention of the Lord is not self exhibition like a demon. The same supernatural miracle performed by a demon is used for his self projection. The Lord likes to be loved by the devotees without exhibiting His supernatural wealth. The son of a king who is good and humble likes to win the heart of a girl without exposing his identity. He does not like to exhibit his wealth to win her heart. Similarly the God likes to attract the hearts of devotees by His divine knowledge which is His eternal divine beauty. If the son of the king has no self-merit, he tries to attract her by cheap exhibition of his identity and wealth. Thus a demon like Satan tries to attract the human beings by cheap exhibition of the supernatural powers and tries to convert them as his devotees. Satan tried to attract Jesus by showing his kingdom. Jesus attracted people by His divine knowledge. When it becomes inevitable to do a miracle which cannot be hidden, the Lord tries to neutralize the tension by exhibiting strong negative qualities. Lord Krishna lifted the mountain and protected the villagers from the rain. Such miracles cannot be hidden and misinterpreted. To bring them to the normal state the Lord exhibited very strong Rajas and Tamas like stealing butter and dancing with girls. In the case of Lord Rama there was no necessity of such exhibition of miracles. There was no need for Him to show the negative qualities. Thus the Lord is associated with all the three qualities to be used wherever and whenever necessary. All the discoveries of science are only due to grace of God. The computer technology is the gift from God to humanity. Some are earning their livelihood through this technology. Livelihood is essential and is the basis of the body, which is the instrument of all spiritual efforts. This technology is used for the spiritual service. Are you objecting the creator of this technology to use it for His own work? You must be grateful to the Lord. You can use it for your worldly purpose but you should atleast express your gratefulness by using it for His service also. Every scientific benefit is granted by God with primary purpose of using it in the spiritual line only. Majority of top scientists believe in God and accept their discoveries as the results of grace of God only. A discovery is always experienced as an accidental incident like a flash. It is not the result of the continuous hard work. During the hard work a flash strikes to the brain of the scientist. The scientist gets disgusted during his hard work and suddenly a flash in the brain results in the discovery. If the discovery is the fruit of hard work, it should naturally come at the end of the hard work without any flash. Such flash is due to the grace of the Lord. Almost all top scientists agree to this truth. Only a few egoistic scientists do not agree to this. Science is very helpful in the analysis of this creation, which helps to realize that no item of this creation is the creator. Science does not help to understand anything about the creator. Infact even the philosophers and sages have not understood anything about the creator. The philosopher also analysed the entire creation. In this aspect there is no difference between the philosopher and scientist. The only difference between them is that the scientist does not accept the existence of unknown creator beyond the creation, whereas the philosopher accepts Him. For a philosopher miracles are not necessary. He is very sensitive and recognizes the existence of God through the deep analysis of various incidents in his life. The scientist is not so sensitive. He needs the proof through physical miracles. Most of the scientists turn into devotees through such miracles visible to naked eyes. Such scientists have open mind and courage to accept the truth due to their wise flexibility. But a few scientists have very rigid mind and do not accept even the physical miracles attributing these to magic and illusion. Such people should not be called as scientists. Science means rational flexibility to leave the old disproved concepts and accept the new proved concepts. People who are rigid in their old fixed concepts are called as conservatives. These people mock the devotees as conservatives and the joke is that they are the original raw conservatives! The bonds with wife, children and money are the strongest bonds and are called as the three `Eshanas' which are the steel chains. The Lord competes with these three to test your love on Him. It is not the question of requirement. It is the question of identifying your love. Your son is well settled and does not require money. But still you are giving your wealth to him only. That shows your love on him which is not related with his requirement. You are covering your absence of love on God with this pretext of non-requirement. By such cover you want the favour from God. You can deceive a human being by such intellectual coverage, but can you deceive the Lord who is omniscient? Instead of such tricks God will be pleased with you, if you say frankly that you do not want to give money since you do not have love on Him. Truth is always better than trick. A lady was applying scent to the feet of Jesus. One disciple told that it is waste, since Jesus does not require it. But Jesus objected the disciple and accepted the scent which signifies her immense love on Lord Jesus. It indicates the divine love of the lady and there is no point of requirement here. at the lotus feet of shri datta swami surya www.universal-spirituality.org "rishi_2000in" <rishi_2000in> wrote: > > The connections through the internet may be the "new" reality.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Surya ji Life continues, whether we belive in god or not. God is neutral force and does not interfere in karmic obligations. Many philosophies, do not believe in existence of god - say jainism or budhism. To them, the supersouls has attained nirvana (and have no bondage with human beings). It is important for our meaningful existence, to be a good human being and fulfill our worldly obligations and then Even if, one does not believe in god / superpower, his soul will be directed towards its meaningful journey. Most critically, once we start questioning our own faith and compromise with basic values, then there is no escape, even if we worship for long hours. Path to meaningful journey can not be set by religion alone; religion is just a regulator. I do believe in existence of god..but it is matter of faith, more than anything else. But what is wrong in asking from god for any relief, like child asking his parents for something. If we have sense of belongings to our faith, then certainly - our faith will reciprocate. Personally speaking, I do not have any spiritual goals, but for sure..I pursue my faith to empower me to be a good human being and being able to fulfill my obligations to self, family and other external bodies at large. Coming to web, internet, technology etc..I do not think, anyone wants to live in the assumption that god needs it. Not necessarily every human being also needs them. But if available, why should not these be deployed for mankind. and Mankind does not necessarily means social justice. I strongly believe that - there is no hard definition to the correctness of path and who knows, if god thinks the same way? If "god " is really bothered about correctness of objects and objectives, then - why did they bless bhasmasur? regards / Prafulla Gang , "surya" <dattapr2000> wrote: > > `Why God needs a website?

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Are you aware of the phenomenon called "lucid dreaming?" Please ask any day dreamer!

But you say that the meaning of this is that Brahman alone knows Brahman. How is it? A) People have given your interpretation, which I know very well. But I give this interpretation because Gita says `Mamtu Veda Nakaschana' which means that nobody knows Brahman. Your meaning will contradict Gita. If you say that if one knows Brahman, He becomes Brahman, then there are two stages. In the first stage a person knows Brahman. In the second stage the person becomes Brahman. But Gita contradicts the first stage because no person can exist as a person while knowing the Brahman. Moreover Veda says that Brahman is beyond words, mind, intelligence and logic. Veda also says that if one knows that he cannot know Brahman, he knows at least some thing about Brahman (Yasyamatam Tasya matam). Therefore My interpretation is in line with Gita and also with the other Vedic Mantras. -------- Veda was preached directly by Lord to the sages at the beginning of the creation. Swami says this veda can be made as primary standard for the entire spiritual knowledge. Swami's message: The reason for selecting Veda as the primary standard is that even today the Veda is being preserved by oral recitation with the help of thousands of families. If you go to older and older times millions of families were reciting Veda just to preserve it from any type of intrusions or deletions. In Indian spiritual field there are several branches of philosophy who fight with each other orally. For all these branches, Veda is the standard text. Such situation never existed in any religion in this world and does not exist even today. Even today different schools of philosophy in Hinduism fight with each other and all of them quote the same Veda. Such competition was and is unique in Hinduism. In such competitive atmosphere pollution of Veda is impossible. If any word is added or deleted, immediately the other schools will shout because they fear that in such case Veda may support a particular branch of philosophy due to the possibility of a new interpretation for a new sentence. Leave the past. Tell Me frankly whether such situation exists in any religion in this world even today. This is the main reason why I have selected Veda as the primary standard. The diversity in Hinduism has done lot of good in this direction. The sanctity of the scripture is well protected. In the olden days the books were in the form of written scripts of palm leaves. Printing was not there. Therefore, a very few scripts were only present. In such case it was very easy to introduce a new palm leaf or to remove an older palm leaf because hardly one or two scripts were present in a very large region. Except this one reason there is no any other reason for Me to favour Veda but you need not worry that the scriptures of other religions have to be judged with reference to Veda only. Fortunately, all the scriptures of all the religions agree with Veda. The primary standard is useful in very few places where there is disagreement. Even that disagreement arises only from the misinterpretation of the statement. If the correct interpretation is given all the statements are perfectly coinciding with Veda. Moreover, one can decide the final version of any concept based on the logical analysis. If the logical analysis fails, then mere Veda need not be taken as authority. If the logic disagrees you can reject any scripture including Veda. Therefore, Veda along with the logical analysis only stands as a primary standard. When you are convinced logically about a concept and when such concept is found in Veda, then only the concept is authorised. Therefore, I am not rubbing Veda on any head without the logical analysis. Therefore, one need not doubt about the fanatic. The primary standard means the original word of God heard directly. But when other scriptures are perfectly in agreement with such word where is the question of fanatic? Every scripture becomes the word of God. This point supports the Universal Religion, which says that the single God delivered the scriptures of all the religions. When the author is one and the same how can there be difference between the scriptures? If there is any difference it is only by your misinterpretation. Therefore, primary standard is only for convenience but not for fanatic. > He only can preach the divine knowledge. {if it is so,then let Him > preach.why then are we arguing/discussing about Him? seems > meaningless!if only He can preach divine knowledge then contents ? >in VEDA about divine knowledge can't necessarily be true.imperative >to mention here,is,VEDA is all about preaches of mahatma vedavyas >only as analysed/understood by his mind's eye & can't necessarily >taken as Preaches of God,Almighty.} Veda were preached by Lord and maintained it by recitation by sages. Lord comes in human form to propagate the divine knowledge and to uplift the people. Lord Krishna preached Gita. Lord Jesus propagated the divine knowledge only. Mohd. Prophet also preached divine knowledge. Adi Sankara also preached the divine knowledge by walking all over India 3 times. Lord Krishna could only preach Gita. That time also many saints were there. Like that Lord Jesus could only tell Bible. There were many human beings and priests of churches during that time. But, the preaching of Jesus are only prevailing now. The word of Lord alone can induce bliss in you & generate love towards Him. It does mean that Lord can only tell about Himself i.e., He only Knows about Himself. This is actually the identification of Lord. Remaining part you see in another reply. at the lotus feet of shri datta swami surya www.universal-spirituality.org SURRENDER JOYFULLY TO THE WILL OF THE ULTIMATE DIVINITY AND RELISH THE TASTE OF ABSOLUTE BLISS.

Does it require to live like that? For ex: Does he require to his power in vegetable market to buy daily vegetables also? Lord Krishna made an artificial Sunset by His Sudarshana Chakra to save the life of Arjuna, who is a very great devotee. When time demands i.e., if the case is impossible by normal means, then He uses His super power. Normal people/dmons want powers. They use indiscriminately to derive enjoyment from that. But Lord, who is the owner of that power will not use for enjoyment. God is truth. This means that God is infinite power. The creation is just His imagination and is almost not true. The imagining person is said to truly exist. The world, which is just His imagination and which is completely not nothing. The world is made of an iota of energy of God. God is like the infinite ocean of energy. Compared to God the world is almost nothing. Thus this entire creation is under the full control of God. Just like the person doing some imagination creates an imaginary world in him, God created this imaginary world in Him. The imagining person can fully control the world. He can transform any item into any other item. He can raise a dead body in His imaginary world. All the miracles of human incarnations can be explained only by this concept. God who is present in the human incarnation does all these miracles only to establish this concept. If the world is equally true, then the world is equally powerful to God. In such case God cannot do whatever He likes. Since the world is least powerful and God is most powerful, God controls the entire world like a very strong person controlling very weak person. Thus the word truth indicates the omnipotent nature of God. When we say that this world is not true, it indicates the negligible power of the world. Suppose a small ant is on your shirt, will you say that yourself and the ant are present in the house? The ant is negligible and is treated as nothing. Therefore, a person who knows this concept surrenders to God and accepts Him as the saviour. In his eyes the entire world looks like an ant before God. You are a tiny particle in this ant-world. You can understand your position by putting a relative scale. Assume that this ant is Infinite Ocean of energy. You are an iota of that ocean. This means your power is negligible before the power of this entire nature. The world is like the ocean and you are like a drop in it. God is like the ocean and the world a drop in God. You must understand this simile not in terms of volume but in terms of the intensity of the power. When we utter the word God, we immediately imagine Him as a very large figure with unlimited boundaries. The space is largest but as no power as it is treated has nothing. The atom bomb is very small but it has enormous power. Therefore, our idea about God should not be in terms of the three-dimensional space. When a person imagines a large city, the city is very huge but the person is very small. But that small person has created, maintains and finally dissolves this huge city. He can do anything in this huge city. Infact He is standing outside this huge city. When He wants to enter into this huge imaginary city, He will imagine a small form and He identifies Himself with that form. That small form represents the outside person. This imagined form, which is identified by the outside person, is treated as the outside person directly. This imagined small form is the human incarnation. The outside person is God. The imaginary huge city is this world. Thus God identifies Himself with the human incarnation. From this angle the human incarnation and the God are one and the same. at the lotus feet of shri datta swami surya www.universal-spirituality.org SURRENDER JOYFULLY TO THE WILL OF THE ULTIMATE DIVINITY AND RELISH THE TASTE OF ABSOLUTE BLISS.

Most critically, once we start questioning >our own faith and compromise with basic values, then there is no >escape, even if we worship for long hours. > Pravrutti: (Path of justice) In this people desire the welfare of their body and family. They love their bodies and their families only. Their real love is not on the God but only on their body and family. When that welfare is disturbed and when it is not possible to rectify it by worldly means, then only they look at God. When you get fever and it is not subsided by the medicines you used, then you are approaching a doctor. Thus God is only an instrument to achieve the welfare of their body and family. They pretend real love on God, which is not real. When you go to the doctor you respect him too much. That respect is not real. That respect is only apparent and the aim of that respect is only that he will cure carefully your disease. These people do not bother about tomorrow. They don't bother about the hell after death and about the next birth. Their aim is only the temporary happiness confined to this birth only. They worship God for this purpose, which is not true love at all. God also acts accordingly. He postpones all your bad results to the next births like pro-notes with increased interest. He brings the good results from future births with reduced values like the pre-matured deposits. The Lord will not save these people in the hell. They will go to the heaven and when the results of their good deeds are finished, they are thrown back to the earth. In the future births, which are full of difficulties only, these people weep scolding the Lord. But the Lord keeps silent, because He acted according to their prayers only in the previous birth. In this field one can worship the Lord with single face, who is Vishnu, the embodiment of Sattvam quality. With this quality God will help you when you worship. But this quality always requires justice and logic. Therefore, within the rules of the cycle of justice God helps you. He will never harm you for your worship. In this field God in human form is not necessary. God will protect the justice by His power. In this field the aim of the people is not God. Their aim is only protection of justice and their families. Lord Krishna did not fight directly in the war because in this field His power is sufficient to protect the justice. Arjuna was charged with His power and Arjuna fought with the enemies. In this field the devotees can worship formless God or statues and can get apparent and temporary protection in this world. Nivrutti: (path of liberation) In this field people want God only. Their aim is the permanent association with the God and not the temporary results in this world. They never care for the worldly justice. They don't care for their body or family bonds. Their concentration is always on God. Here the justice is also crossed. Prahlada did not care for his father's death. God came directly and fought with the enemy in his case. Gopikas left every body and every thing for the sake of Lord Krishna. He liberated them in this world itself. God in human form was required by Gopikas and not by Arjuna. Gopikas wanted to see, touch, talk and live with the God. The Lord came in the human form as Krishna for the sake of Gopikas only. Arjuna wanted only the power of God to protect justice by getting back the kingdom. Therefore, Arjuna worshipped statues like Siva Lingam and energetic body like Siva. Lord Krishna was an instrument for Arjuna in achieving his kingdom. The aim of Arjuna was kingdom and not Krishna. But in the case of Gopikas the aim was Krishna and not anything else or anybody else. They crossed even the traditional justice and ran to Brindavanam to dance with Krishna. They were unable to live for even one minute without Krishna. In this field of Nivrutti the Lord comes down in human form and donates Himself to the devotees. Such human form is called as Datta. In this field the Lord has all the three aspects of Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra. He shows Sattvam of Vishnu, Rajas of Brahma and Tamas of Rudra. In this field He gives troubles when you worship Him. Troubling a devotee unnecessarily is Rajas and Tamas. In this field only the real love on God is proved. When God troubles you after your worship and if you are unable to leave Him still then that is real love. Thus single face Datta (Vishnu) is for Pravrutti and three-faced Datta is for Nivrutti. God acts according to the field you choose. In Nivrutti only He protects you from hell and takes you to His eternal abode. In this field only He attracts the evil effects of His real devotees and undergoes sufferings to save His devotees. Here the attitude of God is not logic and justice but only pure love. But real devotees oppose this. Therefore, He undergoes the bad results without their knowledge. The God circulates the information regarding Pravrutti and Nivrutti to everybody so that nobody can blame Him later on for their ignorance. Except the motto of information He is not having an intention to attract the people into Nivrutti. He is not benefited in any way by doing so. All the benefit is only for the devotee. The person following the Pravrutti always scolds the Nivrutti. The reason is that he is unable to catch God directly in Nivrutti and therefore, discourages that field with jealousy. When he is unable to succeed in that field he does not want anybody to succeed in that field. He wants to close that field and wants that his field only to remain. Such psychological jealousy is not good because God will punish him. Even though he is incapable he should appreciate others and in such case God will help him to come to Nivrutti. In nutshell God helps in Pravrutti with sympathy only and such help is only in the apparent and temporary rearrangement of your good and bad results. In Nivrutti the fruit is permanent and real and God really loves the devotees. at the lotus feet of shri datta swami surya www.universal-spirituality.org SURRENDER JOYFULLY TO THE WILL OF THE ULTIMATE DIVINITY AND RELISH THE TASTE OF ABSOLUTE BLISS.
