Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 While it is true that our scriptures play an important role for our spiritual journey, but if we completely depend on them, it may havoc our journey. The scriputres were written thousands of years ago, when people had a different state of mind, also different scriptures were written by different Rishis for a paticular group of people. Those may not apply to others. while somewhere it helps in the journey, somewhere it creates confusion. I will quote one example about Ajamil Brahmin whose story I have heard from many famous saints. Ajamil was a Brahmin but he was very crooked,drunkard, gambler and what not! His whole life was spent in sin and corruption. He had a son named Narayan. So when Ajamil, due to his bad habits and sins reached the death bed, he was in pains and wanted to see his son for the last time so he called him "Narayan...O Narayan come to me " Meanwhile the Yamdutas had come to grab his soul and take to hell for boiling and cutting. When he called Narayan....Narayan (Vishnu) sent his soldiers to help him they fought with Yama-dutas and finally took Ajamil to Vishnu Loka. Last i heard this story from A Sadhavi who is very famous and said to be enlightened. So she declared Vishnu's name is so sacred that even if a Dushta (crooked) like Ajamil uttered it, he went to Vishnu Loka. so all the public clapped...Sadhavi ji happy and matter ends. These scriptures and these saints do not know what harm they are doing to the brains of innocent simple people, whose Viveka have not yet awakened. What lesson we derive from above story ? That there is no need for yoga, tapasaya, Yama Niyama and just in the end utter Narayan and go to Moksha !! Vishnu is so idiot that he does not know Ajamil is calling his son and not Him? And so callled enlightened saints are spreading these poisonous and idiotic stories, giving people false hopes and misguiding them. The Path of Love, the path of Truth, the path of Bliss is not covered by such follies. Each soul has to pass millions of Tests, thousands of pains, years of Tapasya and births of falls then hardly that soul comes to the eyesight of the Excellence for possible progress. And No saint no avatar can get us Moksha by his powers....it is each one's personal journey WAKE Up and start this journey Now......HE IS WAITING ANXIOUSLY FOR OUR ARRIVAL...
