Quest Part 3

Quest


Q21: Does the God exist everywhere?

A21: Yes.

Q22: How can we say this? To assume and to be are two different things. People may believe but how is this possible?

A22: We haven't created anything in this world completely. Creation must contain some part of the creator. Therefore we can say that air, water, fire, land, sky or anything created using these bears the mark of God.

Q23: Can a person see beyond time frames?

A23: Yes, the God knows everything. And when somebody unifies himself with the God, he too gains the ability to see beyond time frames.

Q24: What is the form of God?

A24: In whatever form you want to see.

Q25: It is said that the God is in you. Don't search Him outside. What does this statement mean? Introspection helps to understand your true self, to understand your immense potential. But the God is in me. It's a bit confusing!

A25: The life element inside you, works due to the presence of God Himself. Meditate. Recognise your true identity. You are not this body. This body is just your instrument. You are a Soul, the master of mind, intellect and body. You will be able to experience this truth through contemplation and will be able to be free from ignorance.

Q26: If it's so, then how can we (part of the God) be wrong? Why isn't the mind free of evil? Why does it run behind material world?

A26: We are pure. Tendencies of mind are outcomes of effects of our own actions. Whatever you do, is not done with Self-consciousness or Self-intuition. But, they are forced upon you by impression on your mind. These impressions are effects of our actions.

Q27: What is the need of controlling the mind?

A27: If you don't control your mind, it will continue to create impressions and you will never be able to understand your true identity.

Q28: Why doesn't the God help us in controlling our minds?

A28: Since, you yourself have created this state. You alone will have to try to get out of it.

Q29: What do you mean by impressions? How is the mind controlled by these impressions?

A29: When you do something, it leaves its experiences as impressions on you. Then next time, on proper situation, these impressions provoke you to repeat that activity. In this way, these impressions become grosser and ultimately becomes your habit.

Q30: Why does our will power weaken instead of being strong in such situations? What controls our will power?

A30: The level of impressions that we bear controls our will power. Lesser the grossness of impressions on your mind, stronger is you will power.

Religions Are Innocent

Image
Today there is a very popular saying, “Religions divide and spirituality unites”. I have heard this sentence from some learned men as well. Recently, I came across a statement in facebook in which the person had written that the religions keep on creating chaos and if they are not stopped it may lead to something that you can’t think of even. A movie recently released also aims at religions stating that a religion either makes a man weak or a terrorist. In today’s world we are surrounded by numerous luxuries. Today works can be done in amazingly small amount of time with even less implementation of effort. This is making us (with these things) more powerful and efficient and us (without these things) even more weak and lazy. Today we do not have time to think about anything beyond our office and home. In such conditions, if a statement comes to us from whatever source it may come, that is easily accepted by us. It spreads as a jungle fire in the society. And if a statement has come fro...

What Exists And What Not?

Image
Existence has been a very widely discussed topic from times immemorial. It is because, our understanding of what exists and what not helps us to understand that what our actions and efforts should be directed towards. If we long for something that never actually existed, we are sure to land among despair. Only one whose efforts are oriented towards the true existence is worthy of achieving peace and happiness. A child starts crying loud if it’s lovely necklace, which it has got from somewhere and now uses it for its childish game, gets separated into beads. It assumes the necklace as an independent existence. It doesn't know that those small beads are the one that combine to make up its lovely toy. Then its parent again fixes it and the child get surprised and happy again to get back its cradle. The parent doesn't get worried about breaking of the thread, because he sees those beads as the core of the existence of the necklace. The notion is that the parent sees beads as the co...
