Man is the most superior
creation of the cosmic order.
Once
he knows how he can improve his fortune, he will certainly take measures to
improve it. He will become the architect of his destiny and not a tool of the
destiny.
A
living being, especially civilized man, has a natural desire to live forever in
happiness. This is quite natural because, in his original state, the living
being is both eternal and joyful. However, in the present conditioned state of
life, he is engaged in a struggle against recurring birth and death. Therefore
he has attained neither happiness nor immortality.
The
latest desire man has developed is the desire to travel to other planets. This
is also quite natural, because he has the constitutional right to go to any
part of the material or spiritual skies. Such travel is very tempting and
exciting because these skies are full of unlimited globes of varying qualities,
and they are occupied by all types of living entities. The desire to travel
there can be fulfilled by the process of yoga योग,
which serves as a means by which one can transfer himself to whatever planet he
likes--possibly to planets where life is not only eternal and blissful, but
where there are multiple varieties of enjoyable energies. Anyone who can attain
the freedom of the spiritual planets need never return to this miserable land
of birth, old age, disease and death.
One
can attain this stage of perfection very easily by his individual effort. He
can simply follow, in his own home, the prescribed method of bhakti-yoga
bhakti. This method, under proper guidance, is simple and enjoyable. An attempt
is made herein to give information to the people in general, and to
philosophers and religionists in particular, as to how one can transfer oneself
to other planets by this process of bhakti yoga- भक्ति
योग --the highest of all yogic योगिक processes.
We
are lucky to have been born on this sacred land, which once upon a time was the
Land of gods. It can and should still regain its glory, if we, the devotees,
the worshipers of the Vedic वैदिक (Indian) Philosophy, sincerely adopt
its values and attempt towards spiritual elevation of our conduct and
refinement of the ambience around us. Divine beings generate love, peace,
beauty, piety, bliss and prosperity wherever they go. We should also adopt and
expand such qualities.
Human
is better placed than the other species. He is not born just to enjoy
pleasures. All sentiment being eaten, drinks, sleep, and possess sexual
impulses. The Beast need not labor much to obtain their needs but the civilized
man has to toil to get his food and shelter. By mere eating of grass the
elephant grows to a huge size. A lion deprived of its meat will not consume
grass. But man’s desire can never be satisfied, by enjoying pleasure. He has
been gifted with various senses and he should use them properly.
The
animals confronted with danger protect themselves in many ways. But man has no
poisonous fangs to bite. Their hands and legs are used for constructive
purposes. The organs provided for man should be utilized for creative purposes.
The organs provided for man should be utilized for creating conditions for
better living. No doubt that all the beings in the world have been created by a
super power –God.
The
millions of creature from amoebas to mighty animals do not acquire knowledge,
but the human beings are a special category and they desire to equip themselves
with knowledge and regulate their day-to-day activities.
