Of God

Disclaimer: This article is an attemptof the citizen of the world towards Understanding God.  It does not intend to refer or hurt any religion or religious person.

God must have the following characteristics or traits so that we can accept as God:

1.  He must be the most powerful of all. (the term 'He' is used only for reference sake)

     If He is not omnipotent, He must be disqualified from being god since a powerless god is a ridiculous one to think.

2.  God must be formless.  If He has form, He cannot be everywhere, He can be in only one place.  Anything that has form willhave birth and death.  So If God has form, He will be dead one day and will not be thereafter.  It is not reasonable.  Something which is formless will remain for ever and may not have birth, change and death or destruction.

3.  He can be only one.  

There cannot be two formless things.  Formless will be borderless, infinite.  There cannot be two infinite and borderless things.  Formless being can remain everywhere eternally.

4.  He must be fatherless and motherless.  Something which has form must come from something.  Something which has no form cannot come from anything. God who must be formless cannot come from anything or anybody.  So He must be without father and mother.

5.  He must be everywhere.  Since He is formless, He will be everywhere, in all, within all, even there where no things exist.

6.  He must be the root cause for the existence and function of the universe or everything.  Or one which is the root cause for the existence and function of the universe can be called as God.  An individual or anything else cannot function this universe cannot operate this universe in non-stop mode like this.

7.  He must be truth.  When something is true, we need not believe it.  If you have two hands, if it is true, what is the need to believe that you have two hands.  Similarly something that we believe may or may not be true.  Lies are many but truth can be only one.  

8.  God must ever be in connection with you and me.  God can never be disconnected from anything in the world.  If there is link between me and God, why Couldn't I realize or feel or see Him?  What is sent should be received so that communication will take place.  So man lacks something or he is in a different wavelength (frequency) of the mind that doesn't receive signals from god or makes him being unable to realise God.

9.  God must be eternal.  One who or which is formless cannot be killed by anybody or will not die at any time.  It must be everlasting.  

10. God must be understandable and realizable.  Understanding is concerned with mental ability that will not be same for all human beings in all time.  If one cannot understand today, it will not be same for all days.  If God is beyond our understanding and realization, He cannot be existing.  If He is existing, He must be within our understanding and realization.  

Kindly pause comments which will definitely throw lights on my path towards God.

Bhagavat Gita - A Gateway to Moktsha

Bhagavat Gita is a Hindu Holy Book which is actually  a part of  the Mahabharatha, one of the two greatest epics in India ( the other being, the Ramayana).  It has 18 chapters which consist of 700 slogas.  It is believed to have come directly from Lord Krishna and it is Vyasa who brought it in writing. (A sage who has attained moktsha must be considered as god, since he is one with god and delivers spiritual messages being an instrument to god).

What is the aim of birth?  To realise god and get united with Him is the aim of god and the aim of Bhagavat Gita is to guide humanity to attain this aim.  The entire scripture is in the form of dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna in the battlefield.  (Arjuna represents all devotees, the entire humanity.)

Bhagavat Gita shows two ways to realise god and attain salvation.
1. Gnana Yoga :
     God is everywhere.  God is in all. God is in the form of all.  The things and people we see are not permanent.  God is paramaathma who is invisible, formless, fatherless, motherless, eternal and  the only one. He is formless but He is in the form of all as well.  He is eternal but He is the all impermanent things as well.  Sound is impermanent but the silence before and after the sound is permanent.  God is both the silence and sound.  Light is impermanent but the darkness before and after light is permanent.  God is both the light and darkness and thus He is eternal in His original form, that is, darkness.  This concept or truth is called tatwamasi.  Since God is all, man must be God.  You and I or anybody must be god.  Here arises the tatwa - I am God (Aham Brahmasmi).  The death of  "I" leads to realisation of Brahmam ( god) everywhere, including within me.
2. Karma Yoga:
    Do your duty and leave the result to God is what is known as karma yoga.  "I devote my body, thoughts, words and deeds to God and whatever happens I accept because it is the will of god" is the main spirit of karma yoga.  Absence of expectation leads to detachment from actions and human soul automatically get rid of all karmas (sins and the imprints from them).  To overcome desire is difficult.  To overcome one who has overcome desire is very difficult.  Always thinking of god and keeping the mind in detachment with the worldly affairs surely results is moktsha.

Yoga and Its Misconceptions

      Yoga that looks commercial is absolutely spiritual. Foreigners who earn money as well as stress much are the victims of so-called yogis of the modern world. The true meaning of yoga is 'to move from ordinary mundane life to a higher state of life that is spiritual and perfect.' It emerges from the word 'yoke' that means 'to get united.' The practice that facilitates the human soul to get united with God is the real yoga that the ancient indian sages followed.

     Attaining a thoughtless state of mind is the ultimate aim of yoga. Mind generally functions in any one of the four cycles - Beta wave (14 to 40 cycles/second), Alpha Wave (8 to 13 c/s), Deeta wave (4 to 7) and Delta Wave (1 to 4). Most of the people have beta wave only, that is, emotional state of mind. The more the cycles the more their emotions are. But a person who starts practising yoga, that is, getting initiation, touches the alpha wave and moves up to 8 cycles depending upon the efforts he takes to concentrate on the pituitary and pineal gland. It is a peaceful state that takes all stress from the mind immediately.

     Deeta wave and delta wave are gained at the loss of body consciousness. When the yogi moves away from this earth and goes beyond the universe mentally, he forgets his body and even the universe with all its billions of galaxy looks a small dust in front of him. All his illusions that he inherited being a well-frog vanish now. He identifies himself with the universe and realises his eternal existence.

To realise God and mingle with Him is the ultimate aim of birth for which yoga empowers one. The supreme power that is the route cause of the existence and function of the universe realized by the yogi. He witnesses that supreme power being all and in all.

     Attaining the everlasting state of spiritual bliss is the outcome of true yoga and getting relieved from stress is only a byproduct. Leading the mundane life with a lot of attachment to this world and just practising yoga for reducing the stress and to grow financially and industrially cannot be called as a true yoga practice. Yoga is not a product for sales or a boost to increase your sales. A man who is emotional is so weak in body and mind but a man who is peaceful is so strong in body and mind. In short, peace is the key to open treasures of the spiritual world.

You Are Not What You Are

You are not the balloon but the air filled within.  You are in as well as out.  When the balloon bursts, the air does not die.  When the body perishes, our aathma (soul) does not die.  Don't think you are the body.  Don't say you are in the body.  Realize you are in the body as well. You are in the body, outside the body in the universe, outside the universe everywhere.

Since you are formless, you are neither beautiful nor ugly, neither tall nor short, neither fat, nor lean, nor strong, weak, young ,aged and the like.  You are formless, so you are deathless requiring no insurance policy for you.  You are birth-less and you have no parents or grandparents or great grandparents and the like.  Weapons can kill your body only not you who are everywhere.

You can neither be richer than others.  You cannot be poorer than others as well.  Because you are the only one existing in the world because there cannot be two formless things.  One that is formless will be endless and infinite and can be only one that is you.  Why do you compare yourself with others when there is no one except you.  Know you are not what you are and what you think you are.

  

Of Life-force, Old Age and Death

Life Force:

     A group of trillions of fundamental, self-rotating energy particles in the body is called life-force.  Certain numbers of energy particles leave our body constantly due to the repulsive force of the Earth.  However the sexual vital fluid (svf) that is produced at the brain and comes to the center of the body after puberty retains sufficient number of energy particles in the body with its attractive force.  Our health and youth are depending on the bio-magnetism which is produced by life-force (energy particles) whose density relies on the amount of svf located at the center of the body.  Hence, the density of the life-force will vary in different ages due to various factors.  Sperms in men and steroid hormone in women are collectively termed here as svf.  This svf exits our body 

(i) sometimes involuntarily during sleep.

(ii)  voluntarily through sexual intercourse

(iii) voluntarily through masturbation

(iv) naturally at the time of death

     Life is maintained by this life-force and the bio-magnetism produced by it.  The food we take reaches several processes and at last becomes our body.  First it becomes chemical juice, then blood, flesh, cholesterol, bones, majai, and at last sexual vital fluid.  .  Thus food is the source of sexual vital fluid that is the source of life-force that is the source of bio-magnetism that is the source of our youth, immunity power, the energy to operate our body organs, sensual experiences and the functioning of our mind. 

Old Age:

    The production of svf is not at the same quantity in all ages.  It decreases after 40 years and ceases at 60 generally.  Bio-magnetism produced by life-force eventually decreases.  Our body cells which are intact and energetic because of this bio-magnetism suffer a lot and lead to shrinks in the skins.  The weakness of nerves also gives rise to hanging of flesh -what we call as old age knocks at our door now.

Death:

     Pain is the initial signal of the short-circuit in our body.  Incurable diseases exhaust the bio-magnetism in our body whereas accident takes away great amount of bio-magnetism in no time.  Consequently short-circuit in svf results in the total quit of svf from the body.  Life-force which is a dependent of svf also quits the body.  Bio-magnetism which is a dependent of life-force also gets away.  Death occurs.  Body and mind stop functioning.  The decomposition starts.

     Soul and life-force are entirely different.  The former refers to the imprints of our experiences and actions passing from generation to generation through hereditary whereas the later is a group of self-rotating energy particles which we call 'akash' in the universe, one of the five elements constituting nature. The exercise to retain life-force in the body and maintain youth is called 'kayakalpa' in yoga.  To learn kayakalpa and know more about life-force and bio-magnetism, contact World Community Service Center, Chennai, India or make a call to Temple of Consciousness, Aliyar or anywhere in the world (www.vethathiriyam.org)
