Why alone India?
by on Apr 23, 2007 11:27 AM

Can anyone answer why alone India has produced multitude of saints/mystics/avatars/yogis compared to any other country in the world?

What does veda teach? Does'nt it teach that we are not the combination of mind/body/intellect but we are pure consciousness?

How many of us have made real attempts to find out the divinity in us? What do other religions say about self-realisation? Is there any concept of self-realisaion in other religions?

How many cultures have survived to this day? If you answer is Hinduism then think why? Many religions tried to overcome Hinduism but they failed and will fail in future Think why and what makes our religion special?

Caste based soceity is one of the best social models. Every model has its own -ves and ves,but it has less. In past materialism was very less and spiritual values more. today it is upside down. All people wnat to become rich, famous etc.

Why are there so many problems in today's world? Why are there so many religions when all preach the same concept? Why are there wars?

It is becos of the human nature. The EGO is the root cause of all problems and problems arise becos of desires. We always think we are perfect and what we possess in this world is best, may it be beliefs or materials. If you are one of those you become a frog in a well and cannot progress spiritually. Spirituality is development of good qualities not a set of rites and rituals. What makes Lord Rama special? Did he display his supernatural powers?
His character was flawless? Thought, deed and action was perfect.

What do you posses when you sleep? You dont even know who you are. As soon as you wake up from sleep you regain everything.

Realising that "I am not this body", "I am not this mind", I am not this intellect but I AM PURE CONSCIOUSNESS is spirituality and that was the way shown by our rishis. Today's gurus are pathetic and the gullible public still pathetic.

What should you do to reach that highest level?
First make your mind calm. Dont run after materialistic things. Your destiny will take you where you belong. Without a calm mind you cannot see your true SELF. Swami Vivekananda talks about this.

There is no need for any new age gurus. All that needs to be said has been already said by our greatest saints. All taht you need to do is to have the quest for your true identity. There is no use arguing about which religion is best, which caste is best, which country is best. We are living in a relative world. so, difference of opinion is permanent.

Today our soceity, rulers, gurus are corrupt exactly as predicted in our scriptures. There is bound to be a step rise in all sort of crimes and Adharma and then peace will follow. Everything is a circle. What goes up has to go down.

Do not get caught in the web of materialistic things. They are impermanent by nature.Be self-content, do not compare your life with others. comparison gives rise to jealously, hatred etc.

Beware of your MIND. That's the culprit of all evil of mankind.
