1) Try to define the role of God in your life.

Answer:

God is omnipresent, omnivalent and omnipotent. He is the

creator of this universe and all the animate and inanimate things are

just part of his Infinite creation. God has created all these things

with his magnificent power. God has created these things with the

different amounts of tatwas in different beings. And god has set the

goals to every being to achieve satwik nature by leaving the tamasik

and rajasik nature and ultimately achieve the brahma gyana (gati)

after achieving 100% satwik nature. As we all are the wonderful

creation of the God, each of us have the same divinity of the God

himself, but in order to perceive the divinity, we need to become

satwik first and subsequently attain brahma gyana. Like all the

sportsmen have a goal to win and need to follow certain rules, God

has set the rules of the universe and human beings to achieve brahma

gyana and he guides all of us when we are wandering in distress.

 

 

2) What have you done in the past one-year to come closer to God?

Answer:

Though my past one-year has been very hectic in which I could

not do what I actually can do to come closer to God, I have

definitely done certain small things that still can be considered as

part of list of things that I have tried to reach God.

i) As we all have been part of this magnificent creation of

god whenever we side track from our spirituality and indulge in

materialistic things, we end up with sorrow out of false beliefs

whenever any of my near and dear ones has approached me to get

consoled or solutions. I tried to console to my level best and I

tried to make them realise the importance of spirituality and God. I

tried to bring them in the path of spirituality as it is my first and

foremost responsibility to help in making the whole world attain the

satwik nature and their by brahma gyana, as I am and the whole

universe is part of the creation of god.

ii) As god has created us with various tatwas nature and the

ultimate aim of the human beings is to achieve brahma gyana, which is

possibly only by trying to achieve satwik nature as the first step.

I tried to remain abstain from ahimsa, be gentle and pure, helping

the needy etc.

 

The first and the foremost thing that I failed in the year

2003 is I lost my learning track in the later half of the year and I

need to put the double efforts in my Astrological learnings to gain

knowledge which I otherwise lost due to the lost time.

 

 

3) Which statement is more relevant: a. God is all, or b. All is God

Answer:

I feel 'God is all' is more relevant as the God is ever

existing magnificent power and rest of the universe has been created

on his instructions and God himself is present in everything and

everywhere. Though the 'All is God' is equally applicable as the God

is present in everything which indicates that everything is god, But

first one seems to be more valid for me due to the first mentioned

reason that God himself has created the universe out of himself which

indicates that 'God is all'.

 

 

4) How is the role of a Jyotish different from a priest?

Answer:

The priest is the one whose sole task is to do the service of

God all the times and tries to dwell within the God by dedicating his

lifetime to the God himself. In a true sense one has to attain the

state of priest to attain God. Here I am not writing in terms of

poojas, yagnas etc., but in terms of trying to dwell in God and

attaining the brahma gyana. And this mental state may not be possible

to all the human beings due to the day to day materialistic

encounters in this world and their struggle for their livelihood.

Jyotish is the one who has attained the mental state of the

priest inspite of all the hardships of this materialistic life and

who also has attain the higher state of mind to distinguish between

the self and non-self and who has the capacity to bring others to the

same state of mind. Hence Jyotish is like a doctor (who diagnoses the

decease and prescribes the medicine as well) guides others to show

the correct path to attain the ultimate goal of the soul.
