Guest guest Posted April 15, 2001 Report Share Posted April 15, 2001 In old times absence of books and internet forced a Sadhka to go to a guru and learn about God from him. The Guru saw through the pupil’s character and understood his status of intelligence, his past Karma and various other things and then would guide him the appropriate way to attain enlightenment. With the information on all Upanishadas and other sacred books, easily available, this knowledge is within reach of a common person. Real gurus are difficult to find and there are chances that one may be cheated by some imposter in the name of Yoga or Tantra.<br><br> But this readily available information has created its problmes too. Many start their sadhna just by reading somewhere, without understanding first the very basis of sadhna. Samadhi can not be attained by reading from books/internet. One may think himself to be very intelligent or clear minded or Brahm Gyani but the Universal system can not be befooled by our ego. It is said that Moksha is possible only in human body. Even gods are not entitled to get Moksha and they have to get a human body to work for their final journey. But there are some divisions of human too. Every human being is not fit for attaining entitlement. Human have further division of Deva-Human, Human-Human, Animal-Human and sub-animal(Asura)-Human. Only Deva-Human are fit to attain Samadhi and get enlightenment. Other three categories have to first rise to that level.<br><br>(to Continue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
