GOD IS THE GREATEST MYSTERY


All the religions talk about God.What is unique is that every religion has it's own God.Gods of all of them are different from each other.God of one religion is greater than the other religion.They fight for their Gods.They undertake jihad and crusade in the name of God.
One wonders whether there is God!People who claimed that they knew God dont speak the same language.Their descriptions of God differ from each other.Why so?
In Hindu phylosophy one of the names of God is Anant, which means infinite.If God is infinite then how can an finite know God?That is why nobody knows Her completely.It's an infinite process to know God.Only infinite can know God and no body can be infinite.That's why i say God is the gretest mystery.
                         A river can merge in the ocean and by merging itself in the ocean it can know what the ocean is.Same way a human being can know God by merging in God.The contradiction is that when one merges in God it doesn't have a separate identity,it becomes God.When an infinite merges in infinite it also becomes infinite.By doing that you will lose your separate identity.That is the only criterion to know God.

Four steps to God realization

In Tantra there is a shloka-UTTAMO BRAHMA SADBHAV MADHYAMA DHYAN DHARANA,JAPASTUTISYADADHAMA MURTIPUJADHADHAMA.It literally means-feeling oneself as Brahman is best,meditating is mediocre,chanting and prayers are lower and idol worshiping is lowest in nature. As i understand this shloka,it just describes the four stages to God realisation.On spiritual path one starts with idol worshipping,then he starts chanting some mantra,then meditating and at last he feels that he/she has become God.That is Brahma sadbhav.One can't just leap to that stage.                               No stage is superior or inferior.They are just stages through which a seeker passes.Without going through the first stage,if one will just try to be in Samadhi, s/he won't get any real success.If you have not gone through idol worshiping you won't be able to realize the formlessness of God.You will just become a hypocrite.Like followers of some religions who say they don't believe in idol worshipin

Food and the Dharma

In modern Hinduism many people give too much stress on the food.They say certain things should be eaten while certain things are never to be eaten, then only you are a true Hindu.In my view your food makes hardly an effect on being your Hindu.It’s your personal matter that what you eat and what you don’t eat.Yes,certainly food makes an effect on your mental state, not more.If you take vegetarian food,it helps to keep your mind calm.But only vegetarian food is not going to help you attain enlightenment.If vegetarian food could get you enlightenment,then all the vegetarian animals would have got enlightenment.I am not saying that take non- vegetarian food.Again i will repeat that it’s your personal choice what to eat or what not to eat. The important thing on the path of Dharma is Sadhana or spiritual practice.Whatever you eat ,if you do spiritual practice,you will attain enlightenment sooner than later.
