[ramakrishna] Digest Number 852

[Guest guest]

Dear Ks3,

 

I believe that God can be realized through many paths.

In history there have been many great souls who have

realized God while carrying out their duties in the

world. Vivekanandji himself said that it is not wrong

to pursue every day matters, or even possess some

things which might be considered luxurious. BUT ALWAYS

KEEP YOUR MIND ON GOD. Have no idea of proprietership.

Remember everything belongs to the God.

 

I do not know the nature of your love for this woman

and vice-versa. Selfless love is a great force. It is

equivalant to serving God himself.

 

Marriage could be a hinderance to the path of truth,

indeed. But if marriage is a hinderance so are

millions of other day to day things, which we indulge

in without even realizing. Believe me, we are already

shackled by millions of chains which push us down in

the dark abyss.

 

Turn your mind towards God and see God in everything

and I am sure truth will reveal itself to you. If you

do indeed settle down with a family, see God in them

and serve them with all your love.

 

Marriage and sex are not impure. The impurities that

plague us can never come from outside. They reside in

our own mind. Do not think for one second that if you

FORCE yourself not to marry (as you seem to be doing),

this impurity will go away. Make your mind pure and

then it will not matter whether you marry or not! You

will always seek the right path and serve others to

seek it too.

 

I wish you all the best in all your endeavors and

remember God will never leave you.

//===================================================

i don't want to marry nor do i want to indulge in sex.

i want to

dedicate my life for spiritual and academic

achievment. i have a female

friend who is madly in love with me and even i like

her and love her a lot.

but my love is that of a human being towards another.

she wants to have

sex with me and wants my baby. she wants to live with

me. i had told

her about all this very early but she insists that she

will live with me.

i sincerely don't want to indulge in sex. but i can

see the love and

longing in her eyes. what do i do? can anyone suggest

anything. swami

vivekananda ji is my life and i live for his ideals.

Hello,

 

There is a FAQ on Hinduism at

http://www.geocities.com/gokulmuthu/faq.html

It might help to clarify (or create) some confusion.

 

With regards,

Gomu.
