Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Here I would add the old, much debated and little-understood issue of destiny vs free will. Can a person DO anything, or is it a natural process of evolution, (involving living, experiencing, cleansing, learning and growing) that ultimately takes one to the final stages? Are we merely puppets of the journey and path planned for us by the Universal Intelligence? _/\_ Tat Twam asi Uma , "Baba ji" <beirut_ka_baba> wrote: > > Besides the explanation given by you, we have also to consider if it > is really possible that all the human get enlightened ?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Saying ourself puppets is, like holding our one hand with other hand in dark which is holding the door lock and screaming "thief, thief " As everybody knows The Human structure is made up of four things "mind,intelect,chitta(the impressions), ego(ahankara=being I am)" Here the chitta plays very important roll in human destiny. The mind activities are controlled ,say mainly effected by chitta and the same chitta guides the intelligence.This chitta is the collection of impressions in our number of past lifes.Therefore human behaviour is based on his past life impressions. The misguidence or proper guidence by the chittasanskaras (impressions) is called as prarabhdha,which we say as "karmas",The human behaves according to these karmasanskaras, There are three karams 1.Sanchit karma=the karma of this life ,until yesterday since birth. 2.Kriyaman Karma= todays karmas since morning to evening. Yesterdays kriyaman becomes "sanchit" today. Both of these 1 & 2 are situated near muladhara chakra and by chanting gods name,doing poojas, worshiping superior gods,they gets cleared out.The kundlini awakening is sign of clearing this life karmas. 3.Third "karma" is "prarabdha" and is situated near "intellect",the intellect is above adnya chakra and when our collective awareness reaches we reach at turiyavastha"sheer pleasure"The prarabhda is ineffective until we remain in turiyavastha but when we come down in the body its effecting of life. The third karma can not be wiped out unless we suffer them.Only liberated guru can do that.But thats very rare case. Now our happenings in this life is collective result of past lifes impressions (chittasanskaras) as per rule "action has reaction" and unless we suffer everything what happens to us, we can not get out of that.We should not create a reaction to these events otherwise there are chances of repelling and deepening the chain reaction. In our life there are two things effective. 1.The "karmas" of past life. If we leave everything on "karmas" we are the puppets and the life will be taken charge by "fate" which is outcome of our past life karmas. 2.Our control- we do our efforts as per our intellect says.We favour the things as per our chittasanskras but when we think and act in the situations as a third person we come out of the problems.Here gaining worldy knowldge helps. It means that if the "karmas"have some bad effects but by our own efforts the "bad things" can be changed into "good things" by free will.Only few certain happenings can not be chandged by free will. we dont have to leave everything into hands of destiny the fate, but we have to leave everything in hands of god in form,who is invited by us to stay in our heart and is incharge of our life forever.Only then we can beat the purpose of life towards liberation and can stop the chain reaction from this life onwards. The percentage of free will goes down as the past life karmas go up and destiny percentage increases. The first birth has say 99% free will and 1 % destiny. But further births have 70-30,60-40,50-50,40-60 and so on. This is the reason why every person in same situation can not use his free will equally. The liberation is choice of individual.Even unliberated are going to finish at the time of final day of colision of world since it will nullify everything.Only thing is that the individual will be purely ultimate devil form and 100% destiny driven. --- Tatwamasi <tatwamasi wrote: > Are we merely puppets of the journey and path > planned for us by the > Universal Intelligence? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 The spiritual world starts where material world ends. The "karmas" are effective on material world.The material status of individual is of mind & intellect& chitta. Hence if anybody wants to have spiritual progress,until the activity by that person is in physical and mental stage the karmas give their effects. Once the mind centre is crossed the karmas have no effect.The progress depends on the readyness,preparation of the person. The person when returns back from the status of "sheer self" he becomes distant from mind centre and the material body.hence he suffer all the happenings without taking them as "his sufferings". Spiritual progress is not related to destiny,its truly free will. The free will uses no mind,no intellect,its only sheer self. Therefore it can be used in spiritual progress. We have to use intellect in material life hence "destiny" becomes effective. Destiny has its effect untill you enter within,(the spiritual world)Once you enter its stalled,untill you return back into material status. --- "udaykumar S.K." <udaykumar001 wrote: The liberation is choice of individual.Even > unliberated are going to finish at the time of final > day of colision of world since it will nullify > everything.Only thing is that the individual will be > purely ultimate devil form and 100% destiny driven. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Namaste all. Nice to read your additional post, baba ji. Sri Kripaluji Maharaj covers so much in detail in just about 45 minutes. I have only translated 1/3 of his lecture. The best reason he gave for the failure of the spiritual seekers: The seeker never considered the God-realized Saint as a true Master, as 'Sat' since his/her material mind and buddhi have declared this. And the Saints have said that 'Sang' is not accomplished in true sense, i.e. in full surrender of trivial material intellect and mind of the seeker to Sant's Divine wisdom. So the results were not attained. Many lives have been spent in perfecting our Sadhana and Surrender. I will continue to translate the rest of 2/3 of the very interesting lecture in a few days.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 "The Svetasvatara Upanishad states that the ultimate Truth reveals Itself only in that high-souled one who has supreme devotion to his spiritual preceptor. Those who lack this requirement are disqualified to study the Vedantic texts, as this impurity of the intellect would stand in the way of realizing the most subtle truths contained therein." - Swami Brahmananda - "Baba ji" <beirut_ka_baba <> Saturday, January 28, 2006 7:52 PM Sat Sang , pyari_h <no_reply> wrote: <<From time immemorial many Saints and Prophets.. the seekers.

Besides the explanation given by you, we have also to consider if it is really possible that all the human get enlightened ? NO it is not.becoz then the very purpose of this Universe will be defeated which has in it the seed of Negativity. Though you are right in saying that it is possible for all human to realize the Truth, yet the Maya herself puts their Buddhi on wrong way to fulfil the essential conditions of working of the Universe. Shri Krishna said in Gita " Na Maa(n) Dushkritino Moodhha Prapdyantey Naradhama.Mayaya aphritogyana Aasuram Bhavmashrita" Those who are idiots, those who are like Asuras, those whose intelligence has been deformed by Maya, do no aspire for me !! HE further says " Aasuri yonimapanna mudha janmani janmani.Mamprapyaiv kaunteya tato yantydhman gatim" Hey Son of Kunti, such Asur type human again and again take birth and slowly reach te bottom of evolution.they never reach me. So even if God comes down to earth, what to talk of saints and prophets..these lower souls will never aspire for the truth. Their very presence is the reason for the Universe to exist. God realisation is not a path for common herd..here common herd are not those who are poor or illiterate or of lower birth.but those whose mind is controlled by Maya. One out Billions, aspires for God, and very few among million aspirers succeed on the right path, and a few among those on the right path.get to the highest of planes..and a single among them crosses ocean of Maya in a leap towards the final Truth With love baba -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.
