Guest guest Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Website address: http://universal-spirituality.org/ (some parts are under construction) This website is created by Smt Devi & Shri Nikhil, USA who are putting very sincere effort in the service of Lord Datta. Q177) What are the various factors, which disturb the world peace, and how your universal spirituality responds? Ans) The various factors are: Communal wars based on religious differences: Every religion says that God created this entire world. Since there is only one world, there should be one God, who must be impartial to all the children in the universe. That one God must have preached the same spiritual knowledge in different languages and different countries which were disconnected and had no communication in the old times. At that time, had he preached the true spiritual knowledge to one country only, God becomes partial because some generations in other countries passed away without the communication of that spiritual knowledge. Had they got it, at least some of them might have reached God. Ofcourse today, all the countries are connected with communication and since that special spiritual knowledge is communicated to all the countries, the disbelievers in any country must go to hell. But what about those people of those old generations who went to hell due to only one single point, which is that, they were not communicated at that time? For no fault of them, they went to hell. The assumption that those unfortunate souls can take human rebirth now to hear that special knowlede on this earth is also ruled out since you say that there is no rebirth for the soul. All this makes God partial. Let us assume that God taught that special knowledge in that old time to a particular country because that country only was containing all the deserving human beings. It is just like the intensive coaching given to a special class containing top most students. This is also ruled out because at that time the worst souls were also present in every country. This is proved because at that time the people of that country only killed Jesus who gave that special knowledge. If Krishna gave that special knowledge at that time, several enemies faught with Him. Similarly, Mohammed faught with several enemies. Therefore, the partiality of God to a special group of deserving people is also ruled out. If you say blindly that God is partial to a particular country only irrespective of deserving and undeserving souls, God should have been blind like you. Faith is the final part of the path to reach God. But, faith should not be blind. It shall be the result of true knowledge, which is the fruit of logical analysis. Science also believes a concept. But that concept must have been established by practical experiments followed by detailed logical analysis. Such faith stands permanently and will appeal even to the hearts of scholars apart from ordinary people. Such faith alone can be universal. If faith is to be accepted without logic, a terrorist may come to kill you. His faith is to kill the people. Do you respect his faith and get killed by him? No, you will resist and get him arrested and produce him in the court. The advocate and judge ask for the reason and hold logical arguments. Let the judge and advocate believe the faith and let them not discuss the case. Will you be satisfied? In the scripture of every religion, the corresponding human incarnation gave statements like ‘I am the light, I am the path, I and My father are one and the same, one can reach My father only through Me’ etc. Every fanatic follows that particular human being only quoting the scripture of his religion only. There is a neutral person. Which religion he should join? Every shopkeeper is shouting that his shop is only the best shop and invite the single customer. The above concept of one God and one world clearly demands the unity in all the human incarnations and in all the religious scriptures. Statements of those scriptures if properly interpreted can achieve this. The word ‘I’ means the human incarnation in general. It is called Emmanuel in Bible, which means that God comes to live with the human beings. Gita also says that God enters the human body. The God pervades all over the human body like current pervading all over the wire. The current and the wire become one and the same. This is the interpretation of oneness of father and the son. One can experience God only through the medium in which he is also present. Thus the human beings can experience God through human incarnation only. This is the interpretation of the statement that one can reach the father only through the son. The human incarnation preaches clearly the special knowledge like a light showing every minute detail. Such interpretations reveal the real universal meaning of scriptures. When a mother says to her children ‘all of you must serve me’, that does not mean that she should be served by all the children in the world. The children residing far cannot serve her. Her statement should be limited to her children only and you should limit her as the mother of those children only. If you generalise her as a mother, then it means that every child should serve its mother. Therefore limitation is ignorance of conservatism and generalisation is the true universal knowledge. Poverty, Corruption etc.: A poor man is suffering and poverty is the punishment given for the previous sin committed by the soul. If such a poor person is helped, it amounts to interference in the administration of God. The punishment is given for a change and you need not sympathise it. The parental love of the Lord is greater than your brotherly love. Only the grace of God can end the punishment forever. Therefore you preach divine knowledge and devotion and then assist that poor person. The divine knowledge and devotion will bring a change in him and you have served the purpose of the punishment. Then God is pleased with you and also will show grace on that poor person. The poverty will vanish forever. Therefore social service must be integrated with spiritual mission. Sankara told the same (Loka sevaka matha khandanam) and Mother Theresa did the same. Mere social service is like a simple boarding and lodging given to the hostel students without the primary teaching in the classes. Therefore, the aim of terrorism gives only temporary and apparent relief whereas the spiritual mission based social work is a permanent solution. The discoveries of scientists without any spiritual basis, which were expected to serve the society, have harmed the society. If one reads, the latest environmental science, it becomes clear. Corruption is grabbing the wealth of others for the sake of comforts of one’s own body and one’s own family. The body is like a seat in the train and you are the soul like the passenger. The family members are like just benchmates in the same train. For the comfort of yourself and of your benchmates, you are troubling the other passengers in the train and this is corruption. Life is just a matter of one-hour train journey. Your benchmates will get down at their respective destinations and will not remember you. You have to leave your seat also. After the death, you have to leave the family members who do not recognise you in the next birth. After getting down from the train, you have to face the interview with God, which leads you to permanent happiness or misery. Therefore, you must concentrate on the preparation of interview even during journey and not on the comforts of your seat and benchmates. The bonds with benchmates are temporary and unreal. Sankara says that whatever is temporary must be unreal. The bond, which did not exist before and will not exist in future, does not exist in the present time also. Such spiritual realisation can only give a permanent control of corruption. The Fight between Atheists and Theists: The atheists believe the logical conclusions based on practical experience and in things present before the naked eye (perception). The real spiritual knowledge can satisfy all these requirements. The human incarnation of the God is before the eyes. All the bonds with family and wealth are before the eyes and liberation from such bonds called salvation is also before eyes. One can experience God through the human incarnation in this world itself and in this very life itself. Infinite love and bliss derived from the special divine knowledge preached by the human incarnation are enjoyed here itself. Enjoyment of love and bliss is the goal of any worldly bond. This is called Jeevanmukti, which means the salvation here itself while you are alive. Whatever one achieved while alive only, continues with the soul after the death also. Thus perception is the basis for the invisible future also. Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today!
