1: The Arduous Task of Self-Analysis : 7.

-




Thus we are here in a world of realities which are more than the physical appearance of the phenomena of life, and we are seeking God in this world. We try to live a life of religion and spirituality in a world of this nature. We want to offer a worship to God the Almighty in the battlefield of the Mahabharata where each one is putting on armour and is wielding a weapon which is fatal and lethal.


In this world we are trying to perform a worship of God. Is it possible? Can we contemplate and enter into a state of deep meditation on the creator of the cosmos in this field of ruthless violence, of battle, warfare and incompatibility of individuals? In this world of these hard facts, can we be a religious person? Can we live a life of the spirit? Can we believe that God exists in this terrific atmosphere of irreconcilabilities, conflicts, selfishness, and a wolfish attitude of individuals in respect of others? Is there a God at all? Does He really exist?


Can we believe from the bottom of our hearts that a God really exists in a world of this kind? Or are we wool-gathering? Are we being hypnotised into an ideology which is not a real one? Are we sleeping? Are we somnambulists? Are we utterly mistaken? Are we fools ultimately to believe that there is such a thing called God, that spirituality is possible in a world of this kind which we are seeing every day with our eyes, where we cannot smile even once from the bottom of our hearts? We are only crying, weeping, and agony stricken.



Here, therefore, in these words I have placed before you is a very unpleasant picture which is the so-called pleasant world of yours, and you will see what I say is right; a day will come for you to see it. Everyone has to pass through this phase. No one can be exempted – not I, not you, not even a hundred Buddhas. You will see this nature of the world one day. Many have seen it, an account of which you read in human history; many are seeing it today, and you will see it tomorrow. Be prepared for it.

Opinion 18/11/2015 104.  Sub : Beware  of  Spiritual  Gods ( Human ) :  Ref :  Bharatham is  full  of  pseudo  religious  guru-s,  starting  with  priests  of  Temple, Church  and  Mosque  All Members,  Respected family members of this great holy Nation. Part-4. A. 1. No  living  Master  who  breathes  and  eats,  and  recognizes  a  world  to  function  in,  can  ever  claim  that  he  is  God. 2. Members  and my  brothers  and  sisters,  don't  be  deceived. 3. Having  seen  a  God  you  will  not  live  to  declare  it;  4. a  salt-doll  went  into  the  sea  to  measure  its  depth  and  it  could  not  come  back  to  declare  its  discovery! 5. The  individual  having  had  the  God-experience  will  not  come  to  declare  that  the  Almighty  and  the  All-pervading  Truth  is  the  limited,  mortal,  finite  structure  of  the  reacher. 6.

Chinmaya Mission: Sevika Sarika Pherwani’s Bala vihar performed the Paduka Puja at Dosti Erica, wadala.  We received an enthusiastic response from children who attended it with their Parents/grand parents.   Sevika Dimple Parekh assisted in conducting this and it was well received by the Parents ================================================================ 1.#Opinion : Thursday, 14 Dec 05:30. 3363. // Article Philosophy 1.#On Reason and Higher Life - 1.Swami Krishnananda./// ================================================================ First of all, it has to be remembered that reason is not everything, and it is futile to work up an apotheosis of reason. This itself is contrary to reason, and it is a prejudiced faith of the human mind which makes it imagine that reason is all. You ask, 'On what is faith based?', but I ask, 'On what is reason based?' 'Who told you that reason itself is reasonable?' Don't you think that this itself is a faith that you h

=============================================================== Monday, 22  Dec 2023. 05:30.  Psychic Influence: =============================================================== Personality: In common parlance when one says that Dr. Tagore has a good personality, he means thatDr. Tagore has a strong, stalwart, tall figure, a beautiful complexion, a fine nose, sharpand lustrous eyes, broad chest, a muscular body, symmetrical limbs, curly hair and so on.That which distinguishes one man from another is personality. In reality, personality issomething more than this. It includes a man’s character, intelligence, noble qualities,moral conduct, intellectual attainments, certain striking faculties, special traits orcharacteristics, sweet powerful voice, etc. All these things put together constitute thepersonality of Mr. So and so. The sum total of all these things makes up the personalityof a man. Mere physical characteristics cannot make up the personality. What you call an umbrella is really
