Bhagwat Geeta
New
articles are being written every day, and millions of topics are available
Worldwide. Still people just love reading them. The thirst for knowledge and
wisdom, fiction and fun is insatiable. Once in a while we come across a book
like Bhagwat Geeta that transforms us and changes the course of our life.
There
are millions of books in the world, but this book of stands out far above any
other book in existence. It is unfortunate that very few people are acquainted
with this book because it is not a religious scripture. It is a parable, a
fiction, but containing oceanic truth.
“It is an
extraordinary book in the sense that you can read it and miss it completely,
because the meaning of the book is not in the words of the book. The meaning of
the book is running side by side in silence between the words, between the
lines, in the gaps. If you are in a state of meditative ness if you are not
only reading a fiction but you are encountering the whole religious experience
of a great human being, absorbing it; not intellectually understanding it. The
words are there but they become secondary. Something else becomes primary: the
silence that those words create. The words affect your mind, and the music goes
directly to your heart.”
Reading
a book like the book is an art by itself. And it is a book to be read by the
heart, not by the mind. It is a book not to be understood, but experienced. It
is something phenomenal. Millions of people have tried to write books so that
they can express the inexpressible, but they have utterly failed.
Bhagwad
Gita-It is my Joy to state that the subject covered in this (Bhagwad Gita)
Total knowledge to bring complete enlightenment to everyone, simply because it
is the essence of our sacred shashtras, Puranas, Vedas, and epics. The secretes
of the nature are unrevealed before our eyes.
And
as these secrets of nature are unrevealed before our eyes, we come to
understand ourselves more fully and appreciate the benefits of living in
harmony with the laws of nature. These are the laws that guide the sun and the
stars, and cause the plants to grow and the flowers to bloom. This is the power
we see at work within the human mind and the body, the power of the life
itself. Such a study not only helps us to closer to the great mind that rules
the mighty Universe all around us.
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, 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. 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 --the highest of all yogic 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 (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.
Truly
we live in a thrilling age. Everyday new discoveries are being made, so that we
may live without pain and unnecessary suffering. We are continuously finding
new ways of conquering the dread diseases that have so long held the whole
human race in bondage.
This
we know from the most ancient writing of the past. And still the wonderful
search goes on, for there is no quest in which man and woman are as vitally
interested as in this search for vibrant, youthful living.
Of
Course The 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.
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.
