The Ultimate of Life

PREFACE

This book is neither a mare religious nor criticizes any religion but is an attempt at my best to develop our strong & constant relationship with the God. It aims to provide new hopes, true guidance & pure encouragement to all those living alone tired, discouraged & defeated to make every moment of their everyday life a happy memory. It covers all secrets of the I & after recognizing our own self covering its all reflections from the universe, what is described here is my living testimony, perhaps a real way to live happy but I must write it is not at all a new religion.

I hope this effort of mine in a form of a short readable composition of a worldview would bring sense & purpose in to individual lives, tolerance & peace to our planet against the irrational dogmatism of both religion & science because although we are literally all one being in many individual forms, we are a part & portion of a constant continuation that harm one another.

We all are well aware that many saints & sagas have tried & are trying their best for the better progress of human being by keeping their religions as a center. Philosophers & emancipators have presented many ideologies & have endeavor their best for the happy living of the mankind. Although it becomes a universal truth now a day that no one has a reach that understand the philosophy of everyday life. There are limitless scriptures in all religions but very few of us can live according to what is taught by our scriptures like Geeta, Bible & Qur’an. It is not a failure of those holy books but is an absolute incapability of our own self to gain & convey it.

However great, varied & many in strength, all these remains unsuccessful to acknowledge where is the real source of our worries & why the fruits of happiness still remain unavailable. On the contrary, the religion (dharma) is considered as the biggest business of the world is an extremely sad fact of the present era because no machine is invented till date that can test a different between heretics and veracious. It is a great bad luck of mankind that there is not a single way to remain unaffected by the activities coverlet under religion. I strongly believe that answers given by religion today for some most unscientific questions those are obviously the God, Universe, I & the Destiny are exactly the opposite of the truth & are responsible for the violence & hatred that engulfs our planet & not only that some purported answers are monstrously inhumane & unworthy of real God.

In fact, as the real source of our worries, it is confirmed by all religions that the material bondage of our own self as I the body, senses & mind, always prevent us to go with the higher aspect of our real self, the soul. Human being is an ultimate creation of God who is able enough to do anything in this universe. The only one who can compel the God to do according to his desire is none other animal but the man, although, we consume our whole life for food, shelter, security and relation. Unfortunately we take shelter in the name of God & religion only to reach a new or higher level of ever increasingly varied & different levels of these four basic necessities, according to its quality, quantity and satisfaction & not at all for final beatitude. We have been in this ignorance from our very birth however, in conditioned life we are committing sins at every step, even without knowing it.

This ignorance is prominent despite we all have our religion! People remain in ignorance, continue to sin and suffer the reactions, though there are innumerable educational institutions & so many big & famous universities! However it is stated before so many years in the Srimad Bhagavatam (5.5.3) this foolishness will continue until one comes to the platform of understanding self-realization, all these universities & institutions for imparting knowledge are a continuation of that same ignorance and foolishness & none of them is teaching consciousness of soul, the applied science of the soul. Until & unless one comes to the point of asking What am I? What is God? What is this world? What is my relationship with God & this world? & able to find proper answers, one continues to be foolish like an animal & is subjected to transmigration from one body to another in different species of life as a result of ignorance because all the matter & energy of the universe neither ends nor destroyed but simply change its form.

We are also not aware that lack of consciousness, ignorance and illness of mind are main causes of most distresses & problems now a day. Basically, we see so much war and violence because people are failing to accept higher aspects of them. We use to think primarily of ourselves, of our own particular desires & pleasures and as such, we miss the chance to be more wholesome in our politics, education, relationships & even in our religion since we only approach these things in a myopic way.

Those who got a chance to honor someone else's existence as well as our own higher existence appears on the pages of history as few God fearing, sensible, hardworking, kind hearten persons including those who set many examples of high moral & braveness beyond our capacity. A universal reflection of their great works for us is our present existence. Since we approach life with limitation, it become a common living tendency of a human being to be coward, eunuch, ill minded & week to grab each & every opportunity of our own benefit instead being a brave & of the high moral for the benefit of the mass. As such, the universe always reflects our each & every such action in very silent manner by way of distresses & problems. It is a law of nature, a part of great antipathy arrangement of the God that runs this universe. Peace & harmony are the universal reflection of our ethical & philosophical values is a proved fact.

We should not think for our problems only in a limited views as what they are, but by collecting, comparing & analyzing global data, it should be considered as all round universal reflection in a way that why we are facing difficulty nourishing our soul or connecting with the Godhead because we get more and more of the same in return from the universe. Science, technology, politics & widely practiced present form of religions are not able to solve it. It can be solved only by true spiritualism for which we must establish a worldwide system, a way of real life that should be true & incomparable practical course of education for universal development of one’s own self with the treatments not only for our soul but for the soundness of body senses & mind with what we are benefited since generations. We should reconcile spirituality & science. All religions & their authorities ought to contribute at their best in creating such system considering it as their essential duty.

It is a very serious matter & we are very late, hence, every nation should feel guilty for not having any such arrangement till date for their people. Maintaining at least a marginal level of true spirituality in their people should be a prime responsibility of the government of all nations & their leaders both ruling & opposition. Unlike finance, home, defense & such other departments their system must serve this purpose in all respect. Anybody, from top to bottom, who proves fail, should be punished immediately. Only such basic platform can compel the religious leaders to carry their real responsibilities to develop high moral and meaningful living in their devotees, disciples & followers by keeping due respect for all other religion. Nationwide gradual increment in the level of spirituality is a basic duty of every religion & its authorities & they should also be punished immediately for any of their failure. Spirituality gives us a set of values that enables us to think about how our relationship with God should be.

It is extremely unfortunate for the people of India that in the region of the original source of spiritual & philosophical development, day by day the situations is going more & more out of control & we just ostentation religion. People are in practice to quote many examples in the name of God & religion neither concern with the fact nor anybody want the fact be explain. Everything goes to ashes when Lord Shiva open His third eye, Lord Krishna lifted Mount Govardhan on His first finger, Lord Hanuman jumped over the sea & burnt the Lanka, Lord Krishna invisibly provided one thousand eight saris to Droupadi, Ravna having ten heads killed by Lord Ram, Lord Jesus will return to earth again for the Last Judgment & the establishment of the Kingdom of God in the world and Allah will come & ask us on the doomsday- are the few example require deep understanding & great spirituality, to which, we immediately declare the one mad considering it as ignorance and foolishness if any such statement is made by a single person but we believe all these only because it is believed by a big strength, it is written in our holy scripture & all these is a religious beliefs but never even try to go deep why, how & for what it is written in our scriptures.

According to our mythological scriptures building a self confidence in their people, to develop a sense of satisfaction for what and where they are & for what so ever they possess and to bring them out of ignorance are three basic duties of the social & political leader. Besides of that, to develop their holiness, to provide them discriminate knowledge that differentiates the good & the bad and to connect all their devotees, disciples & followers strongly & constantly with the God are the three basic duties of the religious leaders. In an ideal, well-established, modern polity, religion should have no connection whatever with politics but is a matter of personal beliefs and convictions. Outbursts of communal frenzy are totally incompatible with true secularism and every well-educated community should have no narrow considerations of religion and caste in worldly matters.

But today, the reality is absolutely shameful for the country like India, which is rightly described as a secular country, legally guarantee by the supreme law, as per the declaration in the Preamble to the Indian Constitution that contain a complete religious freedom, with the absence of any compulsion what so ever in religious matters, there are tensions, strains, fears of the impact of liberalization on a particular religion, the inward hostility and suspicion towards other religions and the lack of tolerance, where genuine secularism has taken a back seat, even after sixty six years from the day such great thought was resolved unanimously in a land of ascetics (Rushis), poets and philosophers who achieved the ultimate level in each & every subjects pertaining to life, God & religion.

All these are enough to prove that since before couples of centuries of our independence, we are lacking true spiritualism. Beside the ostentation that is, there is no official religion & the State stands committed to a policy of non-interference in religious matters, our leaders, with their limited aspect were in hurry to secure their positions & had ignored the greater aspect of those golden lines they used in the Article. They were and are well aware of spoiling, rot & putrefaction of overall social & religious circumstances, illiteracy & superstition, ill mentality of the people toward religious acts, the power of religions & their leaders and above to all, their own incapability.

Instead of God, leaders of these both sides established their strong & constant relationship with each other’s & the both are still enjoying the fruits by dividing people in many heaps. Many of them were & are cowardly surrendered to a suicide mix up of so called social & religious system for their own both sided benefit but no one had tried or no one is trying boldly to fight the evil bravely & courageously for the benefit of the people of India & their forthcoming generations. No one there is to feel guilty for all these on this land where the words If you can't see God in all, you can't see God at all originated.

We live in an age where we often demand respect from others but may not respect those around us. However if we do not understand how and why we surrender to God’s will we cannot gain respect we want and need. Respect includes love for our surrounding what we love for ourselves. It involves treating others the way we expect to be treated and the way we hope God will treat us, with compassion, love and mercy. Major sins put a barrier between humanity and God’s mercy and cause all the torment, misery and evil in this world and the hereafter. We should stay away from sin and must strive against our own destructive character flaws. How to do these is a simple definition of the word religion & that’s all. But since last two centuries the authorities of religion from top to bottom either intentionally or unintentionally are creating confusion in many ways in the name of God, ritual, belief, tradition, celebration & even in some required religious activities. People should develop a perfect shield system to prevent such attacks & for that social & political leader should endeavor at their best considering it as their prime responsibility.

That means, understanding self-realization, happy living & our relationship with the God now a day become a matter of individual effort & both these leadership failed to provide us any such platform that confirm & define their liability & responsibility. On the contrary, they both have joined their hands in continuation of the same ignorance and foolishness as they are failing to accept higher aspects of them, having one & only limited approach of their life, that is, to be benefited from us as high as possible.

We reached beyond a height of our spiritual fall, & the very surprising fact is, we are the people of India who recognized as the original source for the message to the world that the death is the definite end of every life & our work is the only thing that can be remembered for many years. This is unbelievable but is the true cause we are losing an opportunity for our real happiness & to maintain our strong & constant relationship with the God since thousands of years. Mainly, all our endeavors toward achieving spirituality are always either interrupted or prevented in one or another ways by the system & establishment of these both leaderships, only & only for their own benefit!

It is a great surprising fact of mankind that no body, yes it is a truth, is interested in to learn consciousness of soul, God & religion in their true meaning & at the same time there is a big lot of individuals, organizations & books who believes such teaching is their birth right are fully, yes it is also true, interested in creating misunderstanding in our path towards realizing the God & religion so as to maintain monopoly of their so called business. All these will bring only one result that day by day we are passing gens of ill minded, selfish, week, coward & eunuch which is absolutely against the Law of Nature that passes the DNA of the best out of the best to the next generation.

That is why, at this juncture, the only thing I can do is, I heartily request the Honorable President of India to do the needful to include a subject called as applied science of the soul & life by considering this book as a syllabus at the level of 11th standard or equivalent for all our universities, education boards & such other organizations. I also urge from the bottom of my heart to the Honorable General Secretary of United Nations to endeavor some meaningful efforts that enable the governments of all countries to adopt such education & if so the universe will witness truthful happy living of the entire mankind over the planet earth.

Actually, human being is an ultimate of God’s creation fully equipped by all His power, capacity & grace. He never want any of us a craven, debile, faint, feeble, pavid, poltroon, sapless, scaramouch, timid, timorous, or languishing even for a moment. He want us to reach up to the highest level of the capacity He entrusted to us, & that is why, our happy living is a great challenge of the game He is playing with us. As a part of this game, the natural forces that maintain this universe always use many of us as their tool in the name of God & Religion against a huge strength of either illiterate or less educated unaware people logging at the lowest level of their confidence to keep all of us away from the secret of happy living. Believe me, the fact is, one can be happy only by his/her own efforts & by the grace of God. No one else but our own self is the only source that is able to provide us a happy living.

That means we need to forgive them for being so & for creating the confusion and misunderstanding in our way & strategy in playing the game of life as an adventure. The time is now ripped off to reassess & revaluate all our so called religious activities, the persons involved in the same & to understand the true meaning of the words God & religion that enables us to play the game in the spirit of the game. It is a matter of fact that the ideologies, views & teachings of all religions & societies remains paralyzed until it commute our hearts because the very first duty of the human being is an introversion in a sense that to accept our self with all its circumstances. We should not waste our time in finding the truth of all those persons practicing God & religion but should think for our happy living because after all Truth is the highest of all virtues but higher still is truthful living.

If we want to become happy we must accept our life as it is according to our own resources & capacities without any grouse though we strongly believe life of our neighbor is happier than us. Whatever rich & equipped, we all is poor & lacking something every moment & not at all complete in all respects in consideration with our ever increasing desires. If we want to live a very happy life we must accept the truth that we all are a part & portion of the nature & our life is a course between birth & death, where every spring is followed by a fall, every ebb returns back as a new tide, every night has a new morning & unlike birth as a beginning the death as an end of our life is also sure & definite.

We need something that works immediate with a long lasting effect to fight courageously against all our worries, miseries & sufferings but the fact is it is the only thing we are always lacking, a practical wisdom. It is nothing but an intelligence that specially developed, designed & cultured by the both-our mind & heart-only by the time all together with our growth. All present religions, its entire activities, its present forms of communication & the persons connected to it from top to bottom remains fail to make us achieve even a marginal level of our practical wisdom that can be able to provide us a happy living.

Look at the Sun. It is precious & is shining only for us & has no exception for anybody of us. Similarly, we must become precious by making our everyday a happy day. We should be happy seeing its light, existence of everything, good people and good things. We should shine for our surroundings & help all those unhappy people having only sky on their heads. We should try to speak some good words to those all old breathing for last few moments. We should provide help at our best to all those who are week, seek, ill, handicapped, hated, disregard, cheated & to those who have no one as their own in this world. It is the only best way to make our own self happy in all respect. A leaf which falls from a tree goes wherever wind takes it. Be the wind to drive others, not the leaf to be driven by others. If you cannot be a pencil to write anyone's happiness, then try at least to be a nice rubber to erase everyone's sorrows!

Thank the God for the sun in the sky, for the roof on our heads, for the food we eat, for the work we have, for the health, eyes, ears, hands and feet & for the surrounding persons to whom we love & who love us. Thank Him that all these are enough to enjoy the all-round happiness because human life is a rarity.

Aspects & course of Life

We all know very well that this world for some is heaven, more joy less pains & for them I strongly believe that it is because they are loved by God. While at the other end this world is hell for many. There is no peace surrounded it but a never-ending troubles, sufferings and pains. For some it is a prison cell because they do not have freedom to do everything they like, they are been manipulated and tortured whole their lives. There are millions living things including human being, for which, life is just like an ordinary thing where happiness means resting span of their pains and sufferings.

All of us, more or less, for & at sometimes, live in this world full of sufferings, pains & miseries those troubles throughout our lives. It means, no peace & never ending troubles, suffering & pains is not limited to the poor, backward, illiterate & such similar groups or community but it is very obvious that all these, off & all, experienced by many rich, literate & those who belongs to high society too & that means, our life is an extremely puzzle some uncertainty.

I know we are not alright. I can feel that we are not happy & never been happy since before. We have so many questions & circumstances that really needs help & healing at this very minute. We are facing life and death right now! We do not know what tomorrow brings to all of us. We are not only a human being but a superior creation of God but then also it is very surprising that we are in this world only for just omission and commission. We are week, sick, ill minded, unhappy and fully occupied by many problems living so badly in such a way that though death is the definite & the only end of our life, many of us turns in a living dead. It is a great universal truth that everyone love life and hate death however life is a beautiful Lie and death is a painful Truth!

There always a time in the life of everybody of us when we feeling stuck, not sure where this thing called our life is headed, unsure of our own future, frustrated, maybe confused, disillusioned or just plain ole burnt out. Is life pressing upon our mind and soul so hard that it now is impacting our heart and we are will to push forward, to keep moving and to press on? Have past or even recent events sent us into a tailspin and we are free-falling and clinging on to whatever we can find just to keep breathing and moving? Disappointed perhaps and frustrated with people and events in our life? Perhaps we are a believer in God and we have ardently prayed only to feel like our prayers are hitting an invisible ceiling, a brick wall and tumbling back down at our feet?

We never get satisfactory answers if we ask ourselves that are we tired with our life? It seems we are living in a circle, turning & turning around without any directions at all? Are we wandering on this earth in full of confusions with so many questions why we have to suffer and others are happy & live in luxury? Are we happy in the outside but inside our heart we are grieving for so many circumstances? Are we living in poverty since our birth until now with our family? Are we in an instance that it is hard for us to give forgiveness for others who have done wrong with us? Are we in a situation of planning & thinking of vengeance to people who had hurt us? Are we also in a situation facing trials & tests in our lives?

As such, everybody of us is repeatedly receiving advice from the other person or through a book that To all who do not feel good today, it is okay. It is normal cycle of our physical body. Just have always with us positive thoughts. Do not let our depression take us away from the good of this day. Always have with us this thought that life is a gift given by our Creator. We are here to make the most of it. We are here to be happy where tomorrow is a promise of a good life. Stand up, go and give ourselves a break. We are not just there at the corner doing nothing. Fight life! Keep on fighting the race, we cannot be a loser, we will win and this is our aim, a victory over all challenges of life. We are survivors of this earth! but I am very sure we are really tired of receiving such advices!

I very deeply understand the difference between to advice & to face. However, it only reiterate all such advices, I endeavored here at my best to make you all acquainted about the vitality & variedness of the supreme Godhead & to produce and create love and faith inside you for Him. This universe in which we are doing all that and this is a mortal world, from which, one day everything will be perish and the only name will remain is God. At this juncture, my one & only intention for all these written here is to establish your constant & strong relationship with Him because it is the only source for everybody of us to carry on a happy life. If it remains fail to achieve my goal, and then also, be sure that all these is only to encourage us to fight against the situation around us & not at all to emboss my thought & ideology on anybody of us. We are free to think different is also a great uncertainty of this universe & therefore, first of all, I must introduce myself so that you can be able to assess me & all that is written here at the same time.

I am a very satisfied person gladly accept & commit that God has given me more than what I deserved by my own efforts-the happiness, peace & love for all humanity around me as my world. I am born & brought up in Hindu culture of India & therefore, came to know or in other way compel to know the terms God & religion as believed & followed by my surroundings. Moreover, though not in a satisfactory way, I have gone through our epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata & many other scriptures those are Bhagvad Geeta, Vedas, Upanishads, Purans etc. in addition to various books on philosophy, religions, autobiography of legends & by subjects truth, karma (act), soul, universe, Lord of the universe, sin, meritorious, yoga, healing, meditation, spiritual empowerment etc. since adolescence to till date. I have many Muslim, Sikh, Buddha and Christian friends who are matured enough to exchange dialogues on each other’s religions & related topics.

I am highly pleased to make you knowledgeable about those few moments of my first ever experience of signs & evidences that God existed. It is once when I was a kid of just five and was sitting nearby to my father during his regular worshiping activities in avidity of some pieces of banana kept there in a small metal dish on the low square stool in front of many small statues, photos & many types of other materials which is considered as holy & worshipful, arranged very well according to their importance by my father in a lower division of an open space in the wall used as door less cupboard, to which, we called it as our home temple.

My father use to keep his eyes closed for some part of the worship & during that time, I tried to steal a piece of banana but was prevented by an invisible force inside of me & I am very sure that there were three repetitions of the said prevention. It had started an internal dialogs between me & that invisible force to whom I named as God when I grew young, wherein, I will not try again & will wait till the worshiping completed if I will get all blessed food was the only condition we compromised.

Still today I cannot believe but it was a fact that two mousses fighting to each other rushed there & one of them hurtled the dish & the blessed food fell down on the cloth spread on that stool. My father filled back all pieces in that dish & the whole scenario ended as my great surprise that I was told to take away it as mine. He took dish full of lump sugar as blessed food & continued with his worship. Since that, a trust was developed inside me that God is always there to help me & as a child I use to call upon Him that brought many successes for my small need & was sulked with Him too for many times for not providing things desired by me & for my failures.

Since that first realization of an invisible is being existed, the most active part of my physical body, my brain, for most of the time, is in search of the real meaning of the word GOD, the true and real existence of God & our relationship with Him. But when I realized that He is unable to go beyond my destiny & since I came to know about this universal uncertainty of I that is me & the life that is my own, I always pray for very happy and blessed life for all. May our God given life will be proved useful for the source of joy with spiritual, very emotional & optimistic attitude. May peace prevail on earth! Please spread peace, love and enrichment to all human communities around the world because I truly believe in the God.

As a result of searching of my mind & some continuous dialogues with my soul I reached up to a new way of living to which I must call it as my own living testimony that Life is an adventure. Do not give up. Keep on fighting! Be happy in all its courses! And as such, I am always searching joy & happiness from all small things & matters of my life. I use to laugh at & with each & every one of my surrounding & also use to make them laugh too even on me so as to become able to reduce the pains & sufferings of the both sides. Instead giving priority to the religion, its scriptures, the saint, gurus and such other leaders, the philosophers and their ideologies, only purpose of my life what I made is to be happy always & to make others happy. I am always feeling happy with this way of living & would like to share everything in this connection with all those who are desirous to know our relationship with God & intend soon to comprehend His will.

I am a person who believes that life is the most precious
