The real path towards spirituality…

-

 The Path towards the Sadguru is the real path towards spirituality, needed much in this age of conflicts, contradictions, and acute materialism. As Swami Vivekananda said, like different rivers leading to the sea, all the paths that men take lead to Him, the God eternal. The paths that are mostly adopted by the seekers are Rajyoga, Gyanayoga, Karmayoga, Bhaktiyoga, Hathayoga, Layayoga, Nivruti Marg, Pravriti Marg etc. There are even Avadhootas, Kapalikas, Aghoris, and many other types of spiritual seekers. Different religions have different approaches. In this multiplicity of approaches towards the understanding and realization of God, there has to be something common and universal that binds us together. The seekers with such a universal approach make spiritual progress with comparative ease relative to others.



Sitting in Dwarakmayee masjid in Shirdi, Shri Sai Baba said that there are many paths, but one of the paths leads to God through Dwarkamayee. When one analyses how Baba led thousands of people on the path of spiritualism and ethical conduct at Shirdi, a certain pattern is discerned. The basic principles of the Sai path are based on the existence in the physical form of a perfect being known variously as a Sadguru, a Perfect Master, or a Qutub as is called by the Sufis. The word ‘Qutub’ simply means ‘axis’, a pivot around which others, living and non-living, revolve. The Perfect Master, having himself experienced different stages of evolution, including that of man, has at last reached the stage of a divine being. However, those among these perfect beings, who out of infinite compassion, make the greatest sacrifice of not enjoying the blissful state of God but incarnate on earth in a human body to serve the imperfect, suffering humanity are called the Sadgurus or Perfect Masters.

When in the human body, they act as both human beings and divine beings. As divine beings, they have infinite power, infinite knowledge, and infinite happiness. They are Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient. They share their power, knowledge, and happiness with millions of people at times, by certain methods, not perceivable by human beings. These are called leelas or miracles. All miracles are based on the laws of nature. Only through arduous spiritual practices, one can know, experience, and master them. All the elemental and subtle forces of nature like fire, water, air, etc., on earth, are defined as various deities by the Hindus. These can be controlled and used by them for the benefit of devotees.

As divine beings, they see everything in themselves and themselves in everything. So, they serve as if they are serving themselves. They see God in everyone even though others may not be able to see God in them.

Let us always remember their kindness and pray for them to help us.

Science is an Aspect of the Divine

-
Image
Science is a revelation of divine power — it manifests by the will of God through a human medium in line with our needs at a particular point in time. It is a misnomer to believe that Science and God are two different things. In keeping with this, Hinduism considers science as an aspect of religion as is advocated in the ancient  Shastras . According to ancient Hindu texts, metaphysics known as  apara-vigyaan , a branch of philosophy, finds its origin in science or  vigyaan.  By sharing common roots. these fields of study are equally considered revelations of the divine. If God and science do not exist in isolation, it raises the question: Is it God or some other force that is behind scientific progress? In ancient times, people believed religious practices held the solution to their problems. To be relieved of their afflictions, some performed fire offerings or  yagna  while other looked to  yogic  practices   and meditation or  sadhana . While God revealed Himself through  yagna  and

Understanding our Ignorance separates Illusions from Reality

-

  An individual on a profound spiritual journey, possessing an elevated state of awareness, can discern between deceptive thoughts and genuine reality. While some adherents of various religious traditions advocate the use of Rudraksh malas to attain this heightened level of consciousness, such external aids prove insufficient. True enlightenment and knowledge can only be achieved when one directly experiences the absence of ignorance, thereby gaining a profound understanding of knowledge itself. As human beings, our cerebral capacity is but a minuscule fragment in the vast expanse of the Universe, underscoring the need for us to humbly acknowledge the limitations of our knowledge. The teachings of Sadgurus guide us to cultivate awareness of our own ignorance and commence our journey with a blank slate. Over the course of our lives, every experience etches its own reasoning deep into the recesses of our minds, and thus, the initial step toward true knowledge demands that we confront our

The Principles of Karmic Accounting

-
Image
Karmic debt is similar to the financial accounting principles of debit and credit. The key difference between the concepts of financial debt versus karmic debt is that accounting debits and credits are expressed in the form of total amounts and they balance each other out on the whole. On the other hand, the positive karmas or punya and negative karmas or paap operate at a more granular level, and manifest themselves in the form of individual items. This means that karmic debts are equivalent to itemized debits and credits we accrue through our life. Accordingly, one has to repay each and every item incurred in one’s present or past lifetime. If we break down the results of our karmas, we will find they could fall into one of the following categories: ·        Some karma phal or the results of our actions from our previous life, which could be exhausted in this lifetime. ·        Some karma phal from this life which could be exhausted in the present lifetime. ·        Some
