Purpose ? ? ?

[Guest guest]

Humble pranams to all,

 

I would like to get clarified about what is the purpose of our ancients for

keeping all these procedures and rituals in various day- to-day aspects of our

life? Also, would like to ask what purpose does serve our Puranams say to the

mankind ? (This question is not for arguing but for enlightment of the

spiritual zeal and for

implementation in our day-to-day lives for better progress)

 

In almost all the sampradayas, every one follows differently according to their

sastras. What happens to those who follow the sampradayas and anushtanams as

prescribed by their elders and what happens to those who do not follow ? here

i would like refer only to spiritualism and not of materialistic results. how a

person will be progressed in spiritualism..by following these rituals..

 

What is their aim for advising us to follow. What is the Ultimate achievement

and how these rituals will help a person?

 

i would request members and elders to contribute their opinion and

take my query positively.

PURPOSE ???

 

I want to in a humble way try to give an anecdote as told by H H Chinna

JeeyarSwamiji.

 

What is real happiness?

 

An air traveler borrowed a book from airhostess and returned with Many Thanks to

the Airhostess while alighting. He also said that the book has been very useful

to him. The airhostess got astonished and asked the traveler whether the book

was really useful to him and he liked the book. The traveler replied " yes. The

reading of the book has given me a good sleep. For that I should convey my

thanks." The book is nothing but a dull "Indian five year plans and the

implementation". The point is that he got happiness of sleep by the boredom

created by the book he tried to read. He derived happiness not because of the

book, but respite from boredom! Then how do you what is real happiness and what

is real difficult situation. People try to answer the questions in a wrong way.

It is seen that people who offer regular prayers and do pujas face many

difficulties. Some happy go lucky people who do not indulge in these activities

lead a happy life. This fact surprises some and irritates some. Some of the

bhaktas of Jeeyar swami complain " see that fellow does not do any pujas etc but

he is not having any problems. In spite I do all pujas, I am still suffering.

Why? So, we shall also forget all these pujas and temples etc., Then Jeeyar

swami tries to clarify this in his own persuasive way. " Look, More

difficulties do come for Bhaktas only. The questions will be directed to the

students who read. Even the examination is for students who read. The

difficulties are like examinations only. He wants to wash away any defects form

the bhaktas through difficulties. The person who does not have bhakti or pujas

his happiness is not real happiness. A person, who takes drinks initially, feels

he is taking nectar and the kick he gets is real Swarga. This is not true. Later

he will realize that what he is drinking is not nectar but poison. His life will

become full of problems. Then he will realize which is real Swarga and which is

real Naraka. Before, we try to identify which is happiness and which is

unhappiness; we should not jump to conclusions. We should not blame god for

this. It is beyond our comprehension, which is real happiness.

I humbly pranam for the reply and thanks for the same. .

 

Sir, I accept and understood the contents of your message. But I

tend to think which makes me to think towards spiritualism and to

think myself as a Soul. As you said, some leads a happy life though

they do not perform any pujas, etc. but the happiness what they are

feeling may be on a temporary basis and relates to realization of

materialistic desires and ending in leading of happy life. It is

accepted fact that life is like a cycle. In this cycle every one has

to face the troublesome situations at some point of their lifes.

Here, I take sufferings. I put some effort in understand Karma

factor and accordingly take enjoyments and sufferings based on it.

 

Then, how a person (soul) will be benefited i.e. I would like to know

the subtle changes undergoes innerly which may not be visible to

eye..t to please forward few lines in these lines..for the benefit of

Self. I have no intention of arguing other than for growing spiritual

zeal...

 

Humble Pranams to you, sir/GS
