For some it is reaching a heaven, for some it reinvarnating for some it is merging into god, for some it is living with god... for some it may be merging into god and coming back.. So first we have to determine what our purpose it.. and the purpose would mainly depend upon our mental evolution. For a simple farmer the purpose would be just to enjoy in the heavens, drink wine and sex with virgins, and for a yogi the purpose may be merging into god Once the purpose is known, the journey starts...and the books, the living and gone gurus.. even the world around us start giving us directions Aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Aumji, & kumarji, I feel the purpose of god is god (itself,himself or herself) only. God is omnipresent and wants us to be like him.He is within everything yet is different from it. He is the generator,motivator and destroyer of non creative forces. He invites us to be like him and its the purpose i think. Now as aumji said, the person who defines god like something, may take the aim is that something. --- Aum <beirut_ka_baba wrote: > , s_kumar_12345 > <no_reply wrote: > > > So Aum, how do we fulfill Gods purpose in this > world?

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Apart from this one more question is whether god has any purpose? since as Isavasyopnishad and other references say " he is complete " which means he needs nothing from outside. purnam idam, Its " we " or " I " who should have purpose, of returning back to our own status of godness. isnt it? --- " udaykumar S.K.

I think God has a purpose too- to bring perfection, beauty and Truth to a world wrought by pain & misery. Otherwise, if all that God required from us was to merge into someone unknown Brahm or void, than why would he have created the world- he could have just sat there, existing in himself. love Shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 If the pain and misery are those which god wants to change to perfection beauty and truth, but who invites them first the misery and pain,certainly its not by god for man. I believe its only human who changes his world into mess and its not a godgift.,it seems god wants us to return to the world he created and which is in true natural condition. If god brings beauty and its his nature, man brings misery and pain, due to his own desires against nature. again the question is who needs change, whether god needs it or a man has to change himself? --- shanracer <no_reply > wrote: > > Apart from this one more question is whether god > has > > any purpose? > > I think God has a purpose too- to bring perfection, > beauty and Truth > to a world wrought by pain & misery. > > Otherwise, if all that God required from us was to > merge into someone > unknown Brahm or void, than why would he have > created the world- he > could have just sat there, existing in himself. > > love > Shantnu > > ______________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 > I believe its only human who changes his world into > mess and its not a godgift.,it seems god wants us to But Udayji, who creates humans with so many desires, struggles & pain? Why would God delibrately create beings whose nature was to be in pain/misery of duality? Why woul God create demonic forces that aim to bring us down, halt our spiritual progress, make us feel futile, depressed? Everything that is possible to be created, is created at some time. This includes the Devas who exist in pure bliss, to the Asuras, who like the state of unmanifest more, & want to take us back there. Everything must be allowed to manifest itself, to express its energy. Only when all the power of dark forces has expired, will God take us to the next stage o manifestation. As they say, the night is darkest before the sunrise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 shanji, i agree god is and only is the creator. But see how adam(adim),the first man behaved. isnt it reflection of what today we are?But again since god is the creator himself, there should be saitan the destroyer ,too. Then who will chose whom to follow? and whose life is going to effect as an end result? I feel god has creted us but at the same time has given us the choice to lead the life.If we dont have choice, then either we should not act and decide,let the things happen their own way, or other hand decide and change the world to crative ways to follow god or destructive way to follow saitan. I feel the same as you said " Everything must be allowed to manifest itself, to express its energy " this is very important. --- shanracer <no_reply > wrote: who creates humans with so many desires, > struggles & pain? > Why would God delibrately create beings whose nature > was to be in > pain/misery of duality? ______________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

But Udayji, isnt destruction also part of creation, as without destroying the old and dying, how can we create new? So in a way the demons are also doing Gods job. Thats why we also worship Rudra/Shiva, who destroys & removes that which is old, so new can be created. love Shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Jitendarji, isnt pain also a form of enjoyment? After all, for the pure spirit, there is no such thing as pain or pleasure, titles which are invented by humans, & based on arbitrary standards. For God, both pain & pleasure are equal, as Krishna says in the Gita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 shanji , I agree destruction and construction are two sides of one cosmic energy. but who is the one, through which it flows under control. yes, old has to go, since it has to give way to new. --- shanracer <no_reply > wrote: > > > the things happen their own way, or other hand > decide > > and change the world to crative ways to follow god > or > > destructive way to follow saitan. > > But Udayji, isnt destruction also part of creation, > as without > destroying the old and dying, how can we create new? > > So in a way the demons are also doing Gods job. > Thats why we also > worship Rudra/Shiva, who destroys & removes that > which is old, so new > can be created. > > love > Shantnu > > ______________________________\ ____ Never miss a thing.

Pain has no independent existence.... Pain is the reaction of mind to a certain situation. suppose i have burnt my hand, the skin sends the signal to the brain and the brain finds it horrible and tells the mind.. and the mind reacts with hate and opposition to the burn... this we call pain. so pain is pure reaction or a Thought of mind. Since we attach to mind we feel the pains as ours. If we become sakshi, we will see mind feeling the pain, not us.... or we change the thought pattern of mind the pain will become pleasure. So pain is for the mind not for jeevatma...and certainly not for God.... it is a transitory emotion generated by mind Aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Jitenji, Let me too comment n this, If we see what makes jivatma, it is wriiten in Dasbodh, by Samarth Ramdas, Guru of Shivaji, Jivatma = atma (soul)+ antahakaran chtustyay soul is cosmic energy which we call as supreme as well as status of supe consiousness. while antahkaran chatustaty has four things blended with, they are " manobudhdhichittahankar " they are 1)mind 2)Budhdhi(Intellect) 3)chitta ( the impressions of births together 4) ahankar (the devine ego which is root cause of birth " Its " I am " status. Whne these four things are left only atma(paramatma ) remains. so attachment of these four makes and creates sense of pain and or pleasure to soul. The combined result is the person is happy or unhappy. --- jitendra kumar <jtin_ja wrote: > > JAI SRI KRISHAN ,JAI SRI RAM > > > >> > > If we become sakshi, we will see mind feeling > the pain, not > > us.... or we change the thought pattern of mind > the pain will become > > pleasure. > > > > So pain is for the mind not for jeevatma...and > certainly not for > > God.... it is a transitory emotion generated by > mind > > > > > > Sir ji > > doubt is again created in my mind i must tell you > i think. > > i think here " we " word is jeevatma i suppose please > clearify if you > have other meaning in your mind > when we become sakshi ie independent of mind then we > do not feel pain > means when jeevatma is not with the mind then > jeevatma does not sense > the pain . it is obvious > > but when jeevatma is with the mind then jeevatma > senses the pain > through the mind . this is also one possibility. > > secondaly you have written that when we become > sakshi then we see.... > > is it possible to see the pain.i think no because i > have not seen like > that till now even i think in case of OBE people say > > > > thirdly i think in five koshas mind is related to > the manomaya kosha > and jeevatma with the anandmaya kosha > > Sir please do not mind my doubts , i know it would > not create any > disturbance in your mind but you will think on the > points raised by me. > > HARE KRISHAN ,HARE KRISHAN ,KRISHAN KRISHAN ,HARE > HARE,HARE RAM ,HARE > RAM ,RAM RAM ,HARE HARE > > > > > ______________________________\ ____ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 > but when jeevatma is with the mind then jeevatma senses the pain > through the mind . this is also one possibility. Jitendarji, after we become Sakshi, we dont become like stones, uncaring & unfeeling. In fact, Yogis feel more pain & pleasure than ordinary people, as their senses are working at 100% capacity, while the rest of us are distracted so much by external world, we dont even work at half that level. In fact, a Yogi feels more than ordinary person, only thing is, they dont react like we do. They dont say I am in pain, but my body is in pain. This objectivity allows them better to heal themself. If I hit you, along with pain, you will also feel anger, & you would waste half your energies fighting with me. A Yogi, on the other hand, knows that I hit his body, not him, so he will just laugh & move on. > thirdly i think in five koshas mind is related to the manomaya >kosha and jeevatma with the anandmaya kosha I think the Jivatma is even behind Anandmaya Kosha, but Im not sure. Perhaps Babaji will enlighten. >but then exacly what is the significance of this world There are many explanations. I think Aurobindos is best. He says the Jivatma, which is identical to Paramatma(Universal Soul- called Shiv, Brahm, Narayan), decides to descend into the world of ignorance, & then evolve spiritually, back to its original state of pure bliss. This Jivatma is practically similar to Paramatma, except it thinks of itself as individual. Sri Aurobindo & Tantra both say this final jump- from Jivatma to Paramatma, can only occur with grace, not effort. But this grace is only given to those who have developed themselves completely- from mind, Buddhi, Pran, emotions etc. The Jiva has to evolve fully into a perfected being, & must have Love & Surrender, before this grace is given. love Shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
