Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are, jointly, the strongest threat to Republican dominance in a generation. So it should come as no surprise (CNN) that frustrated conservative students are plotting to kill Hillary Clinton, and that Barack Obama has had to get a Secret Service detail. Some Republican Party members cannot deal with the fact that the Democratic Party and its idealistic vision for America are ascendant — and so, like they did with Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, the Republicans are planning to kill Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. Any such attempt will only more openly expose the Republicans for the hatemongers they are.

Bear with me please …

For 6 years now, I have been checking irregulartimes to find out what the word from across the pond was. Yeh … I’m English. I’m drunk too … like I said, bear with me So, I’m wondering how many people who visit this site are feeling the need for large scale social revolution. Because I am. In fact, I have renounced my life in exchange for a just social system applicable to all human beings. This is quite a big thing for me (I’ll have you know) as I am a physics undergraduate, with a life of luxury almost guaranteed for me under our current social system.

 But the only way I can feel ”true” … the only world I feel I can bring a child into, is a world where each individual human is encouraged to be a productive and happy member of a world society. I do not feel I can live as a parasite, living off the labour of my third world counterparts.  

So I continue my degree … I struggle on, knowing as I work (or laze about when I cannot be bothered to work, ) that some poor soul(s) is/are labouring for my bread, or the copper for my computer , or the nylon for my nikes. When I finish my degree, I will (no doubt) begin working for a successful multinational corporation, exploiting the children of those who now labour for me.

In 2012 many people believe that the world will come to an end, based on the abstruse conjectures around the mayan calendrical system. By this time, I will be working deep within the bowels of said corporation. My true friends, my soldiers, true humans, true revolutionaries, will also be working deep in the corporate structure, across many fields.  Perhaps, dear reader, you will be too. You see, I believe there is a significance to the mayan calendrical system. I believe, that at the end of this baktun 12 in 2012 (which began with cortez arriving in mexico,) the people of the former colonial powers should recognize their obligations to the people who have been our slaves for half a millenia. 

Bringing this full circle, my life goal is world revolution against the abstract legal systems which force our society into a perverse master-slave system by 2017. Many friends of mine will follow me in this. I would be interested in an indication from all visitors of this site of their interest in a general revolt against established models of society. I don’t claim to have the answer. I just want to know, how many of you want to find one ?

 For Peace, Love, Sustainable Living, and a Neo-society of open humans :

Yours, Mike McNally

 P.S. mcnallers@hotmail.com if you are interested in non-violent world revolution in our lifetime. And please comment, even if you think I am a joke, or clinically naive. Or, perhaps, you want to hear more. I will oblige.

     

They told you that buzzards were only scavengers. They told you only rotting carrion had anything to fear. They were lying.

In northern Spain, residents are finally telling the truth. Vultures are no mere scavengers.

A group of hungry vultures has been seen to attack a mother cow and her calf, murdering them before eating them. This seems to be the new vulture ethic: Create your own carrion!

If vultures in Spain can switch from searching for dead animals to eat to looking for live animals to eat, then they can evolve their behavior again. One more change like this, and those vultures could be hunting human beings. Once they make such a switch, the territory available to them would nearly worldwide, including such hunting grounds as Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle, and Los Angeles.

Don’t be afraid to spread the warning. The emperor has no clothes! Protect your children! Reinforce your windows with plywood! The vultures are coming!

Are there any so blind as those who refuse to see what I tell them?

If you will open your eyes, then consider these two facts for just a moment:

Fact #1: Yesterday, I revealed the coming evolutionary leap of vultures all around the Earth, from scavengers to evil, plotting predators.
Fact #2: Today, scientists observed the most powerful explosion ever seen, a supernova more powerful than any other exploding star ever recorded by humankind.

Is it a mere coincidence that these two things happened, one right after the other? A child could see how absurd that suggestion is. Do you know what the chances are of that being a coincidence? Honest historians will tell you the truth: It’s never happened before - not ever!

So, the question is not whether the coincidence has any meaning. Rather, the important question is this: What is the meaning of the coincidence of the supersupernova explosion right after the vulture conspiracy was revealed?

The conclusion is unavoidable: Jesus Christ has been born again, and is bringing with him the end of the world. Yes, skeptics may scoff, but they when have they ever shown the courage to believe in anything.

Just as the star of Bethlehem announced the first coming of Christ, this newest, even stronger star announces the coming of Jesus once again. The vultures, well, the vultures are preparing for the cosmic battle of Armageddon.

Prepare yourselves! We’re all going to die, and only some of us will be born again!

I’ve been struggling for a long time to identify my discomfort with Vice President Dick Cheney. But this morning, I saw a photograph that brought it all together for me.

I can keep my suspicions private no longer. Isn’t it time we all start asking the question that has long been on our minds? Is Dick Cheney The Penguin?

Nefarious plots? Check.
Hideout in a secret, undisclosed location? Check.

Physical resemblance? Now, thanks to this photograph, confirmed.

I’m not saying it’s a slam dunk or anything. I’ll leave conclusions like that to George Tenet. Maybe it’s a coincidence. Maybe I’ll shine the bat signal tonight and see if Dick Cheney comes out to play.

I was just looking at an article on the web site of the New York Daily News just a couple minutes ago, when a popup advertisement for Orbitz got in the way of my reading. After a second or two, the Orbitz ad retreated behind other windows, waiting for me to find it and read it again later.

Two hits for the price of one. How clever.

As I was deleting the Orbitz popup ad off my screen, I realized that for quite some time now, I’d stopped thinking of Orbitz as a company through which I can get special deals on travel. I had honestly forgotten that Orbitz had anything to do with travel.

All I think of these days when it comes to Orbitz is its annoying popup advertisements, the ones that interfere with where I really want to go online. Consider the brand implications of that: Orbitz has become a brand of popup ads. Orbitz has become a brand of pestering and interference.

In short, the Orbitz brand has become aligned with frustration and delay. Note to Orbitz marketing team: For a travel company, that might not be a good idea.

Flipping around through the world associated with Irregular Times, I found a new corner today - Progressive Bumper Sticker. It’s a web site that is what it sounds like, but is more than what you might think.

It’s not just a catalog of progressive bumper stickers. In fact, it doesn’t even seem to be quite that yet - not enough entries.

Besides, the bumper stickers are from all over the web - different systems like Zazzle and CafePress, and different stores within those systems.

The idea of the web site is interesting to me. They don’t just put in a link to a progressive bumper sticker. They discuss the concepts behind the bumper sticker design.

It’s kind of like reading the cards of text on the wall next to the paintings in an art museum, except there seems to be a lot more relevance to these ideas, as they overtly political, and overtly progressive… or, well, liberal, as I would describe it.

It’s not a big sweeping site purporting to unite the masses behind a new movement of enlightenment and liberty and super genius charismatic leadership, though Progressive Bumper Sticker does good in its own way. It’s just a web site that looks at an unexplored niche, and tells what it sees. Simple.

Vroom, vroom.

Read here about Hillary Clinton’s willingness to quietly, without fanfare or fuss, reach across the aisle to George Herbert Walker Bush, the president of the early 1990s. While Barack Obama speaks in soaring cadences about reaching across partisan divisions, Hillary Clinton is doing it. George Herbert Walker Bush has come to admire Hillary Clinton’s wit and wisdom. I look forward to her entering the White House as president and building those kind of cross-party alliances full-time.

This is too close to happening to be funny, I found this on the web, if anyone knows who wrote it, let me know so I can give credit.

Operator: Thank you for calling Pizza Hut. May I have your national ID number?

Customer: Hi, I’d like to place an order.

Operator: I must have your NIDN first, sir.

Customer: My National ID Number, yeah, hold on, eh, it’s 6102049998-45-54610.

Operator: Thank you Mr Sheehan. I see you live at 1742 Meadowland Drive, and the phone number is 494-2366. Your office number over at Lincoln Insurance is 745-2302 and your cell number is 266-2566. Email address is sheehan@home.net. Which number are you calling from sir?

Customer: Huh? I’m at home. Where’d you get all this information?

Operator: We’re wired into the HSS, sir.

Customer: The HSS, what is that?

Operator: We’re wired into the Homeland Security System, sir. This will add only 15 seconds to your ordering time.

Customer: (sighs) Oh well, I’d like to order a couple of your All-Meat Special pizzas.

Operator: I don’t think that’s a good idea, sir.

Customer: Whaddya mean?

Operator: Sir, your medical records and commode sensors indicate that you’ve got very high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol. Your National Health Care provider won’t allow such an unhealthy choice.

Customer: What?!?! What do you recommend, then?

Operator: You might try our low-fat Soybean Pizza. I’m sure you’ll like it.

Customer: What makes you think I’d like something like that?

Operator: Well, you checked out ‘Gourmet Soybean Recipes’ from your local library last week, sir. That’s why I made the suggestion.

Customer: All right, all right. Give me two family-sized ones, then.

Operator: That should be plenty for you, your wife and your four kids. Your 2 dogs can finish the crusts, sir. Your total is $49.99.

Customer: Lemme give you my credit card number.

Operator: I’m sorry sir, but I’m afraid you’ll have to pay in cash. Your credit card balance is over its limit.

Customer: I’ll run over to the ATM and get some cash before your driver gets here.

Operator: That won’t work either, sir. Your checking account is overdrawn also.

Customer: Never mind! Just send the pizzas. I’ll have the cash ready. How long will it take?

Operator: We’re running a little behind, sir. It’ll be about 45 minutes, sir. If you’re in a hurry you might want to pick’em up while you’re out getting the cash, but then, carrying pizzas on a motorcycle can be a little awkward.

Customer: Wait! How do you know I ride a scooter?

Operator: It says here you’re in arrears on your car payments, so your car got repo’ed. But your Harley’s paid for and you just filled the tank yesterday.

Customer: Well, I’ll be a #%#^^&$%^$@#

Operator: I’d advise watching your language, sir. You’ve already got a July 4, 2003 conviction for cussing out a cop and another one I see here in September for contempt at your hearing for cussing at a judge. Oh yes, I see here that you just got out from a 90 day stay in the State Correctional Facility. Is this your first pizza since your return to society?

Customer: (speechless)

Operator: Will there be anything else, sir?

Customer: Yes, I have a coupon for a free 2 liter of Coke..

Operator: I’m sorry sir, but our ad’s exclusionary clause prevents us from offering free soda to diabetics. The New Constitution prohibits this.

Thank you for calling Pizza Hut.

The next time you hear some supposed “expert” from The Heritage Foundation given the chance to speak on an NPR program like the Diane Rehm show, remember this graphic here, taken straight from The Heritage Foundation’s web site. It’s from a page of political propaganda promoting the evisceration of Social Security.

You see, The Heritage Foundation isn’t really a think tank so much as it is a propaganda factory dedicated to pumping out justifications for the right wing agenda. That’s why The Heritage Foundation’s page on Social Security includes this graphic (I added the critical words below). Even now in 2007, two years after the American people overwhelmingly rejected the right wing plan to kill Social Security, The Heritage Foundation is still trying to push it. They’re still working the tired old line that, because the Social Security system might be short of some money a couple of generations in the future, we ought to just go ahead and kill it now.

This claim has been made by the right wing since the 1970s. It’s a matter of political faith, not careful research and consideration. The right wingers just hate the idea of the government helping working people to come together to ensure some security for the families in the face of old age, infirmity, and tragic accidents. They’d prefer that we rely on shaky private schemes that involve investing in corporations like Halliburton and Enron.

Social Security doesn’t have insufficient funds - not anything close to it. The Heritage Foundation does, however, have insufficient credibility.

Rahim Faiez writes for the Associated Press this morning, “Suspected insurgents ambushed a U.S.-led coalition and Afghan patrol in the volatile south, sparking a battle and airstrikes that killed 25 suspected insurgents, officials said Monday.”

Here’s what I don’t understand: The people who performed the ambush performed an act of insurgency. So, how come they’re described as suspected insurgents?

I’d write more about this, but a suspected baseball just made a suspected hole in my window, and I see a suspected kid running down the street. Gotta go.

Liberals never can understand the value of hard day’s work. They’re just lazy effette professors who want to keep their fingernails clean.

How do I know this? I read for myself, that’s how.

Liberals hate sweatshops. Everywhere they go, they call for no sweat in factories.

Really! They expect companies to employ people, but never ask the workers to break a sweat. Wimps!

I mean, if people don’t ever sweat in factories, then how will they ever lift big boxes? Will they have to have little boxes with doilies on them?

The socialist liberals with their Marxist love of the free market of laziness keep on demanding that companies like Hanes and The Gap hire only people who never break a sweat. No sweatshops! No sweatshops!

They also demand that no children be hired to make Americans good clothing with honest family values in them. Well, how are those kids ever going to learn the value of a good hard day of work unless we help them?

Do you know, I went to Bangladesh once, almost. I saw pictures of people in Bangladesh, anyway, and let me tell you that, although they’re all very poor, they’re also very happy. They love it. They wouldn’t trade their so-called lifestyle for our decadent society of mansions and jewelry and fancy cars and Hollywood liberals. No sir!

They want our money, which is why they’re happy to work for a nickel a day.

You know what burns me? The liberals insult those people. They call those people “exploited”, and try to take away their jobs by instituting some kind of minimum wage or something.

I am so sick of liberal wimps insulting workers that I’m going to go to Wal-Mart and go buy more shirts made in Indonesia, just to make them mad.

It’s a higher moral calling.

Traitor!

That’s all I have to say after reading this news on DemocraHATEic presidential candidate Bill Richardson:

At one point, asked a question about his heritage, Richardson offered to answer the question in either English or Spanish — then burst into French.

French! What gall! Everybody knows that Christopher Columbus, and Ponce De Leon, and Leif Ericson, and all the other first settlers of America, spoke ENGLISH! Leon, Christopher, and Eric are all English names (OK, Leif, he was a hippy. His sister was named Ivy.). Now we know what he’ll do the next time some Islamofascist terrorist comes along! Richardson will give him a pat on the head, and a welfare check, and a BAGUETTE! With QUESO on it!

Traitor!

I found an article that really hits the nail on the head when it comes to the whole Al Bore global hot air thing. It’s called Why is it always the Planet with Environmentalists?

I am so sick of environmentalists talking about the planet. Planet this, planet that. Blah, blah, blah.

I’m tired of hearing about how much planet Earth is in trouble. Why should I work to save the planet when Osama Bin Laden is plotting to blow up the shopping mall down the street from me?

Well, this article asks the question, but it doesn’t have enough guts to get to the real answer.

Environmentalists are always talking about the planet because they’re really just a planet-worshipping cult. They believe that the Earth is a godess, and they hold orgiastic rituals to worship her, in what was foretold in prophecy as a sure sign of armageddon to come. Environmentalism is a cult, and its followers are a bunch of weirdos.

As for the planet, I say we allow market forces to determine whether it’s really worth keeping.

The following United States Senators have decided to do the right thing. They have decided to vote against the Democratic leadership’s plan to allow George W. Bush to continue the war in Iraq with no strings attached:

Chris Dodd*
Russ Feingold
John Kerry
Bernard Sanders

*You may not know this, if you only pay attention to the front runners, but Senator Chris Dodd is running for President in 2008. Give his campaign a second look today.

Give the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama a mouthful. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are waffling. Their backbones are wobbling. They say that, gosh, they just aren’t sure whether it’s a good idea to vote against an open-ended, no-restrictions reapproval of the war in Iraq.

What the hell are Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton thinking?!?

Sadly, it’s all too familiar what the other Democratic senator running for President, Joseph Biden, is thinking. Senator Biden is thinking that now that Joseph Lieberman is an independent, he has a shot at becoming George W. Bush’s new favorite Democrat. He deserves the nickname Blank Check Biden.

Joseph Biden says he will vote in favor of reapproving and refunding the war in Iraq, giving George W. Bush exactly what he wants.

Don’t just look at the campaign rhetoric of the Democratic candidates for President. Look at their actions. The actions of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Joseph Biden this week show that their opposition to the Iraq War is weak. They’re looking like posers who say that they’re against the war in Iraq, but won’t lift a finger to do anything about it.

Shame on them. We need stronger leadership than what they have to offer.

If you believe in supernatural omens, look to Nepal for disaster. A statue in the village of Dolakha has got moisture on it.

Nepalese Hindus believe that when the idol of Bhimeshwor has moisture on it, very bad things happen. They believe that the statue is sweating. According to Shanta Krishna Shrestha, who manages the temple that houses the statue, a sweaty Bhimeshwor statue “denotes something like major political change or a natural calamity”.

How convenient for Shanta Krishna Shrestha, whose employment depends on panicky people making donations to the temple, that the statue is sweating. She has some of the same divine fortune that Ram Bomjon had when he performed his tricky little miracle (no one allowed to inspect the amazing fasting boy or see him after dark, please!).

So, how can we test the claim that the sweaty statue of Dolakha is an omen of major political or natural disaster to occur in Nepal? Well, we could wait and see if any major political or natural disaster takes place soon, but what would that prove? It could just be a coincidence. After all, political and natural disasters take place all the time.

Well, at least if a natural or political disaster does not take place, that proves that the sweaty statue omen cult is a fraud, right? Not absolutely. You see, those who believe in the power of moisture on the statue to foretell a dark future also believe that if a ritual known as the Kshyama Puja is performed, then the foretold disaster can be diverted.

It just so happens that the Kshyama Puja has been performed, with the results sent for the Prime Minister of Nepal to inspect. So, if no great political change or natural catastrophe takes place, believers can say that it is because the god has been appeased.

The system belief in the sweat omen of Bhimeshwor is carefully designed to evade every attempt of proof or disproof. That in itself is cause for suspicion.

A side note about Bhimeshwor: It seems that Bhimeshwor, also known as Bhimsen, is linked to Bhima, the strongman of the Pandava brothers, who is one of the main characters of the Mahabharata, of which the Baghavad-Gita is a part. A statue of Kunti, the mother of the Pandavas, is present in the sweaty temple of Dolakha as well.

These green green lima bean liberal econazis make me sick, what with their provocative global sexual cults and weird attachment to the idea of clean air and water. As if there is something inherently dirty about air and water!

Now I find this newest environmentalist wacko slogan: I don’t just hug trees. I kiss them too.

You kiss trees? Watch out for the splinter, spotted owl lover!

This tree loving nonsense has gone far enough. Gag me with a spoon - a good old fashioned metal spoon!

I am so sick of liberals being negative when it comes to our glorious war against terror.

Don’t they get it that people don’t want terror? Do we have to bash it through their head with a brick? I say that we wake the liberals up. Ordinary converstaion isn’t enough for them.

Liberals need to be scared. They need to be frightened in order to get them to support the war on terror. I say that we wake them up in the middle of the night and take them off to prison and show them videotapes of what terrorist do to people. I say that we terrify the liberals to get them to see the way the world really is. Then they’ll join us in our war against terrorists. It’s the only way!

Liberals, of course, will whine and complain. They’ll say that we’re using the tactics of those we oppose. Well, I don’t oppose the tactics, so I don’t know what they’re talking about, stupid liberals! Like, if I punch out a bully I’m wrong for using violence or something. As if!

Oh, war is a crime! Stop war! Do it now! Aren’t these liberals just like a bunch of spoiled toddlers? Stop the war now! No more criminal government! Wah, wah, wah! I want my pudding! Stop the killing! Diaper full!

Liberals need to stop being against things. They keep on talking about how they’re against war and against killing and against bombing and against torture and against invading other sovereign countries, and against war crimes.

Well, what are the liberals for? I mean, come on! What’s the alternative they suggest? There isn’t any alternative to war, which is why we’ll always need to be at war against evil. For the sake of peace, we cannot allow the naysayers to obstruct our troops as they march off to the war that, yes, is necessary!

Senator Hillary Clinton raised the ire of some Democrats when she voted to authorize a possible Iraq war in 2002. I say “some” because at that time, a number of Democrats as well as Republicans thought it was a good idea. Let’s not engage in historical revisionism on that point. Still, though, Senator Clinton has done a lot of thinking, studying, watching and reconsidering, and that’s what a good leader should do. Last night, Senator Hillary Clinton decided that enough was enough, and she voted a firm “NO” on sending President Bush another blank check for Iraq. Clinton explained her vote:

“Tonight I voted against the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Bill because it fails to compel the President to give our troops a new strategy in Iraq. I believe that the President should begin a phased redeployment of our troops out of Iraq and abandon this escalation. I fully support our troops, and wish the President had followed the will of the people and signed the original bill we sent which both funded the troops and set a new course of phased redeployment. But the President vetoed Congress’s new strategy and so Congress must reject the President’s failed policies. I will also continue to press with Senator Byrd for our legislation to end the authorization of the war in Iraq.”

Understand what Senator Clinton has done here. She has firmly, finally, joined the anti-war contingent of Americans that is our new majority. She passes my test.

Preaching of Lord in human form and digestion of the truth

Jesus preached wonderful knowledge. The ordinary fishermen were convinced and followed Him as the Lord. The priests of church were great saints who were unmarried and left every thing for the sake of God. Those priests were certainly higher then ordinary people. The ordinary people followed Jesus because they were convinced in their minds, intelligence and consciousness. They clarified their doubts with Jesus directly and were convinced. This is called as Atma Pramanam. These ordinary people did not look for the voting of the priests to Jesus. In fact, the priests opposed Jesus and crucified Him. In spite, of that the ordinary people followed Jesus since they were convinced. A priest has left every thing for the sake of God. No doubt they are greater people since they have greater urge. The greater urge itself cannot qualify any person. A student may have a greater urge for the answer but he might have not understood the answer given by the teacher. Another student might have not so much urge but has understood the answer. Between these two students who is greater?

Janaka was a king and did not leave the kingdom. Suka was a saint and left every thing with extreme urge for God. Janaka was appointed as examiner of Suka by sage Vyasa. Who is greater between these two? Though Janaka was a house holder and did not leave anything, he is the student with answer. Suka is a saint who left every thing and got answer from Janaka only. Quest is appreciable but cannot be the qualification. Capacity to understand the answer lies with the internal mental development (Samskara). The external orange robe, the quest for God, leaving every thing and roaming every where, attaining a post of Pithadhipati, studying scriptures by tradition etc., are certainly appreciable but are not the qualifications of greatness. A student may be in the uniform dress. He may have lot of urge to get the knowledge. He might have left his house and roamed from school to school. He might have become a teacher of a school. He might have studied the course according to discipline. He might have memorized and got through the examination and He might have thus got the degree and became the teacher. But still his doubts in the subject were not answered. Einstein and Ramanujam did not get a pass and could not get the degree. But they have perfectly understood the subject. Therefore, attainment lies in their internal samskaras and attaining the real preacher.

Both the samskaras and Guru (Preacher) are important for the attainment and not the other points. Both the pearl shell and the rain drop are essential for the formation of a pearl. Except these two, all the other factors are ephemeral only. You should judge anything by your self and in association with others through discussions and debates. In coming to the conclusion you can take the help of the discussions with others. But you should use your own intelligence and consciousness in final conclusion. In this way the participation of others is helpful. But to see whether some body lifted his hand or not for voting is a point is foolishness. You can discuss with him about the point. You should lift your hand based on your final conclusion. Even a cleaver person may go wrong in that particular point. Your vote should not depend on his vote.

The human incarnation comes in every generation

The human incarnation comes in every generation but you are not coming in every generation. The rebirth as human being is almost impossible and completely impossible as per Christianity. In such case you are having only one chance to contact the human incarnation present in your generation. If you miss this, never again this luck comes. The next meeting with God is direct where He acts as judge. Therefore, there is no second coming of Jesus for you and you will meet God finally only.

In this way the second coming of Jesus at the end can be understood. But if you say that you cannot meet the human incarnation in your present generation, you are not having the opportunity even for once. In such case, why a particular generation in which God came in human form as Jesus was only blessed? They had the extra fortune and this means God is partial to that generation. Therefore, every person in every generation will have the equal chance of coming in contact with the human incarnation once in his or her life and the final contact with God in the energetic form as judge.

Therefore, the impartial God comes again and again for every generation (Yada Yada hi…..Gita) but you are not having the chance to meet the human incarnation again since you have no human rebirth. One may get the human rebirth in extreme exceptional situation and you should not depend on that because it involves high risk. The human birth, the urge for salvation and coming in contact with the human incarnation are the three real fortunes and the importance increases from left to right in the order. Therefore, simply having the human birth and having the urge by taking orange robe are not sufficient.

Unless you contact the Lord in human form and get the right knowledge for correct implementation, every thing is waste (Manushyatvam Mumukshatvam, Mahapurasha Samsrayah, Durlabham—Sankara). There is no quarrel if you say that the second coming of Jesus is only at the end because every one is having the equal chance. But if you say that I have to worship the past human incarnation only even in the present generation, then the equal opportunity is not given to Me when I am compared to the human being present in that generation in which Jesus came directly and clarified all the doubts face to face. I must have such equal privilege and here the quarrel comes with you since you deny the equal opportunity.

The second coming is final with respect to every human being but not with respect to God because in such case several human generations miss the chance of direct contact with God in human form except that one particular human generation. Even if you say that Jesus told that His second coming is only final, it is true with respect to every human being and not with respect to Him. You have misinterpreted this statement by extending it with reference to Jesus also because you want to exploit the people in the name of past Jesus and get personal fame and other facilities from the devotees. You are in no way different from the priests present in that time of Jesus.

Both of you do not admit the human form of Lord. Both of you keep the past which is invisible (invisible Jebhova or invisible Jesus) before the devotees and earn money and fame. The only difference between you both is that that priest got Jesus killed through the court and you cannot do that in the present time. The repulsion towards the human form before eyes is common to both the priests and devotees. But in the case priests there is an extra factor that they may lose fame and offerings from the devotees because they get benefited standing at the back ground of the invisible form of God or inert form of God.

In the case of devotees, this extra factor does not exist because they are prepared to sacrifice for God and they are not losing since they do not receive. Any Guru or Priest immediately resists human form of God based on these two factors since he fears that the human form may get the fame or their offerings. Thus, there is political, economical and social issue of psychology in this spiritual line. Attraction to fame and money associated with jealously and egoism is the main back ground and Lord Datta brings out the truth that is buried up to any depth. All the details of truth are known to the omniscient God. Veda says that the knowledge of God is always based on truth (Satyam Jnamam).

Athiest will be born as animals who serve the humanity without any devotion to God

Lakshman: But how there are different cadres in the human beings? because
All should have same level of human birth as all of them have worshipped
The very same human incarnation to get the human rebirth

Swami: Understand the concept what I have told carefully because what I said is
That one becomes that form which he liked the most, liking leads to service.
If one liked the human form, he may serve all the human beings as an atheist,
There is no element of God in his social service and he is also born as
The human being only but he will be in the lowest cadre of the human beings.
The person who served all the human beings as the various forms of God
Will be born in a better cadre in this humanity only present on this earth.
Some other person serves all the human beings as the representative models of
God only and not directly as God is born in a still better cadre in this humanity.
All these three types of people are born as human beings on this earth only.
And they can never cross the earth because all these three types of people could
Not conquer their egoism and jealousy, the lowest cadre have very high egoism
And jealousy and therefore they are called as demons, the second better cadre
Has lesser egoism and jealousy whereas the third still better cadre has least
Egoism and jealousy and they are the middle layer called as human beings.

The highest cadre in the humanity consists of people who have completely
Conquered their jealousy and egoism and therefore recognised the Lord
Who came in a human body called as human incarnation on this earth.
These highest devotees are called as angels and will cross the earth
To get the upper worlds according to the intensity present in their services.
The highest devotee with highest intensity in the services shall go to Brahmaloka.
For the lowest cadre atheists, there is no trace of possibility to cross this earth.
These atheists are interested in the service of humanity only and no element of God
Exists in these people, they get the human rebirth for some time only because
The Lord tries again and again to transform the atheists also into devotees.
When there is no trace of hope of transformation, these atheists shall be thrown
Into the permanent hell here as well as there in the form of animals because
Animals are serving the humanity without any sense of devotion to God.
It is highly rare that a human being can recognise the human incarnation,
Because of the general jealousy and egoism causing repulsion of likes.

Hanuman took the birth of monkey and worshipped the human incarnation.
But Arjuna as a human being could not realise Krishna completely.
The only human being that completely recognised the human incarnation,
The only exception is Radha who is made Queen of highest Goloka.
Worship of inert statues with a sense of representative model worship
Is welcome for the beginners because every monkey is not Hanuman.
Lord Shiva came in the form of one monkey only called as Hanuman.
Since Hanuman is not available, one can worship a monkey as a model
Representing Hanuman but he should not consider that monkey as Hanuman.
Human birth really means the human being who has the rarest opportunity
To serve the human incarnation and reach His highest eternal abode.

Otherwise other human beings who cannot cross the earth can be treated as
Human beings externally but they are birds and animals internally.
With reference to such highest rarest human birth only, it is said
That there is no human rebirth as we can observe in other religions.
There is only one opportunity to meet the human incarnation and understand
That human incarnation as the Lord, Jambavan did not recognise Rama
But he recognised the Lord in human form when he fought with Krishna,
Since he could not recognise Rama he invited Him for a fight and his desire
Was fulfilled by Krishna, then only he recognised Krishna as Lord.
Once you recognised the human incarnation as Lord and still neglect
No further chance will be given to you in future to have human rebirth.

Who will actually get human re-birth?
________________________________________
Sharma: Who is actually getting the human rebirth? I would like to know
The actual point that gives the hum rebirth, Swami! Kindly explain
I may not go to higher or highest levels in the spiritual journey but
I should have a minimum guarantee of human birth so that at least
I shall be careful about that point in every human birth, since if
The human birth is assured, I will slowly follow other spiritual points.

Swami: You have asked a very important question because if you get

You cannot deny the meaning of inert element for the word Bhuta.
The word Pancha Bhuta means the five inert elements, in fact
In the entire Gita the word Bhuta is used only to mean the inert five elements.
I am not contradicting your version also as it supports the general concept.
But you cannot oppose the meaning I have taken for the word Bhuta here,
Especially when the word is used in my meaning in the entire Gita.
Even if you say that the word means a living being, no problem then also
A devotee who worships a plant shall become the plant and a devotee
Who worships a bird shall become a bird and a devotee who worships
An animal shall become an animal and he who worships a human form shall
Become the human being; therefore the concept is very clear in this context.

The essence of all the religions is one and the same

The essence of all the religions is one and the same since the Universal God gives it. The religions are different from each other because the religious leaders who are the human beings create the material that surrounds the essence. The skeleton is one and the same and there is no difference in the skeletons of the human beings. The difference lies only in the external materials covering the skeletons, which are flesh, skin etc., in these external materials differences arose due to deficiencies. Suppose there are two students. One is weak in physics and the other is weak in chemistry.

Each student mocks the other for the deficiency. Therefore, the deficiency is the root of difference and quarrels in the religions. The reason for the deficiency is the human brain that developed the external body of the spiritual knowledge. Therefore, the spiritual knowledge is the skeleton and the religion is its body. The deficiency in a religion can be removed by taking the merits of the other religions. Every religion has deficiency and the rectification of that deficiency should be from other religion without any ego and jealousy. Do not think that you are without defects. Do not think that your parents have no defects. Do not think that your teachers and preachers do not have defects. Therefore, observe others and take the merits from anybody without prejudice.

The blind thinking that your nation, your state, your district, your town or village, your caste, your family, your parents, etc., is the best or highest should be eradicated from your brain. Always base your self on your analysis and commonsense that is observed from the examples in the world. Your elders might have polluted the scriptures but this world is the best scripture written by God. This world-scripture is Universal without any color of any religion. You can develop the entire spiritual knowledge by observing this world and the scientific knowledge existing in the various examples or items of the world. Any human being cannot pollute these. You must be scientific and analytical in your belief. The ignorant and clever religious elders always exploit blind belief.

Defects and merits of Christianity , Hinduism, Islam

Hinduism has two defects. The first is that all the rituals are not conducted in the mother tongue. The rituals involve hymns in Sanskrit. In the ancient days, Sanskrit was the mother tongue of the sages. They understood the meaning of the rituals and were very much interested in God. Every ritual explains about God only directly are indirectly. Today the rituals are like the dead bodies without life. Their real aim and purpose is lost. Not even a trace of devotion is developed through any ritual. At least the priest should translate the hymns and should create interest in the ritual. If you observe the other religions, this defect does not exist because all their rituals are performed in their mother tongue.

This is the reason for the sincere devotion in Christianity and Islam. Added to this, like Ghee for fire, the concept of only one present human birth in the other religions has developed tremendous interest in God due to fear. In Hinduism the belief of several future human births brought lenience towards spiritual field. If you allow the candidate to pass the examinations in several attempts, no serious view can be developed. If you say that one has to pass the examination in single attempt, the education system will be perfect. Observing the other religions must rectify these two defects.

Christianity and Islam have their own defects. They should also rectify their defects by observing Hinduism. Selfishness, pathetic scenes and fear develop their belief in God. If you want to develop interest in God by saying that Jesus suffered for your sins and by showing the pathetic scene of crucifixion, it is not real and pure love. When you get interest in Jesus since He suffered for your sins, your love to Him is only based on selfishness. Your love to Jesus should be based on His divine personality and knowledge without any trace of selfishness. Similarly, these two religions try to create fear in the minds of human beings by mentioning the permanent hell. Fear should not be the basis for the love to God. The love should be spontaneous and without any selfishness in a free atmosphere. The reason for this deficiency in the foreign religions is due to absence of metaphysics in the scriptures.

Those scriptures mainly deal with the development of proper human behavior to balance the society. Such scriptures are mainly dealing with ethics only and not with the philosophy of God like the nature of God, path to please God etc. The analytical development in the spiritual knowledge is not much in these scriptures. They have confined God to the path of Pravrutti only and God is simply an administrator bound by His own rules. He is just a judge to deliver the judgment and a jailer who jails the sinners. He is just a mechanical examiner without any freedom or love to devotees. He cannot go beyond the rules of justice. Of course, all this is good for the initial development of the human beings.

Mere happy life in a society is not sufficient because such life is not eternal. The life after death should be also analyzed. Mere judicial procedure is not the ultimate of God. The love towards God, the sacrifice for the sake of God, the concept of contemporary human incarnation for the sake of most beloved devotees etc., are points of higher importance than mere limitation to the petty family only. The view is at the best generalized to the service to the society. Society is only a large family of your colleague souls only. God is beyond society. You must transit from the service to family to the service to the society and finally to the service to God. These three are the subsequent steps in ascending order. The foreign religions are mainly confining to the first two steps only and not to the third step. In the name of the third step they are only staying in the second step (social service) only.

The basis for this deficiency is lack of the concept of contemporary human incarnation. They criticize the idol worship of Hinduism. But they are doing the same in another form in their churches and Mosques. The exploitation of the devotees by priests is common to their religions also because the concept of the contemporary human incarnation is completely eradicated from the root in these religions because the selfish priests do not allow this. The same thing happened in the case of Holy Jesus. Hence, Holy Mohammad did not allow this concept for the fear of such horrible jealousy towards the contemporary human incarnation.

In Hinduism also the selfish priests oppose the contemporary human incarnation. However in Hinduism, this concept is at least partially alive since Gita says that God will come again and again (Yada Yada hi…) and that God will come in human form (Manusheem tanumashritam…).

Way to smash hidden ego in us

The soul develops ego during its lifetime by helping other souls. The ego is the most dangerous snake that enters the self without your notice. The ego hides itself in the subconscious state of mind and you will be feeling that you are not at all egoistic. It is like a first stage of cancer, which is generally not noticed. Such hidden ego is smashed when you kneel before God on your fore legs and beg for the basic necessities. The saint practices this through begging the houses for food so that the concept of donor shall vanish away. God alone is the ultimate donor.

How to overcome worry

Try to enjoy the worry
When worry is inevitable, enjoy it and be wise
Even continued happiness leads to mental worry
Thus happiness and worry must be alternative
If you are worried by the continued happiness
You are worried at the cost of the result of your good effort

Instead of this it is better to get worry at the cost of your sin
Let the sin give some trouble and then you worry out of it
In this way the result of the sin is spent and the not the result of good effort
The loss in your present worry may be compensated in the future
But the time lost in your past worry cannot be compensated
Because the life span of any human being is fixed

Your loss may be compensated by million times in the future
But even one second of your lost time can never be compensated
Therefore, understand this and think about the value of the time
This knowledge of the value of time is called as ‘Kala Janana’
Which means the knowledge of the future that you should know,

Which provides the possibility of the compensation of all the loss
Except the loss of time, therefore, time is the most precious.
You may waste anything that can be again procured in the future,
But never waste the time, which you can never compensate.

There are two ways to escape the mental worry in this world
The first way is by obtaining the peace, which is zero
The second way is by achieving the bliss, which is plus
Worry is minus, peace is zero and bliss is plus
To escape minus, either you should be in zero or in plus

Bliss can be obtained only from the Lord in this world
Since Veda says that the Lord alone is bliss “Anando Brahma”
Veda also says that the Lord alone can give you the bliss
“Esha Hyeva Anandayati” this is quite logical in fact
The water is alone cool and so it alone can give coolness
Whatever is said in the Vedas, it is always logical

How to enjoy worry

Never allow the worry to enter your heart in difficult times. When it knocks the door, shout at it to go away. Don’t open the doors of the mind. If you allow it, it is a thief which steals away your energy. It is like the dog that steals away your food. It is like the cat that steals away your milk. Food is your energy and milk is your courage. When you loose courage and energy tension is created, which is the source of all chronic diseases. Doctors say that the tension raises the level of lactic acid in the blood, which opens all the doors for all the chronic diseases. The physical health is spoiled because the mind and body are related to each other. The illness in the body affects the mind. The tension in the mind affects the body. Such tension results in the loss of memory and loss of intelligence.

In such state you are completely inefficient to plan for the solution. Your body is incapable of executing any plan. The worry cannot solve the problem and moreover it weakens you so that you will become permanently incapable to solve the problem.

Therefore neither should you run away from the life nor should allow the worry to enter your mind. If your realization about the unreality of the cinema, which is this life, continues, instead of worry, you can enjoy the problem in your life, which is as good as a tragic scene in the cinema. You may argue that you are involved in the life and not standing outside the life to be a spectator. This argument is not correct. The answer for your argument is that you can enjoy the tragic scene even if you are involved in it just like an actor acting in a drama.

If you are aware that the drama is unreal and if you are aware that you are only acting the role which is also unreal, you can still enjoy the drama as a spectator of the cinema even though you are involved in it.

Whenever you face difficulties and if you have not realized the unreality of the world (forms and feelings), there are two ways to solve your problem. One way is in natural level and the other way is in super natural level. The nature is the separated power from the Lord, which follows the rules of the logic and is called as Prakruti. The nature is separated because it becomes the separate object to be observed by God who is the spectator. God created this universe to see it for His entertainment. Even if He enters the world as human incarnation the spectatorship and entertainment continues because there is no difference between cinema and drama as far as its unreality is considered. Therefore if your problem is at the level of the nature, try to solve it using your courage and energy without allowing the worry into your mind which steals both these.

If your problem is beyond the level of the nature, then also you cannot solve it by allowing the worry. In such case the super power (Maya) has to enter into this world sent by God. The Maya is never separated from God unlike the Prakruti. Now, only the super power of the God can solve your problem and for this you must concentrate on God. For such concentration also, you need the energy and therefore you should not allow the worry to enter your mind even in this case. For doing concentration on God, you require the congenial atmosphere of real devotees around you. Therefore whenever the problem that requires the super power to interfere enters your life, you have to immediately prevent the entry of the worry into your mind and you have to enter into the association of real devotees so that you can concentrate on God for help.

If you remain in the association of the ordinary human beings, they will magnify the impossibility of the solution and force the worry to enter your mind. If you leave the association of these dirty people, who do not want to solve your problem and if you enter into the association of real devotees, you can easily concentrate on God for help. God will give an immediate stay because the problem cannot be cancelled forever due to the cycle of deeds presided by justice. However, the temporary stay has the possibility of permanent solution also. After the stay, there may be a chance for you to become a liberated soul by entering into the service of the God in which case your file may be condemned permanently.

If you are ungrateful to the help which involves the super power of God, your file will be opened after some time and the punishment can be given to you in some other form so that your impression about the cancelling of that problem by God is not disturbed. Therefore, at every step of your life, become grateful to God and transform yourself as a liberated soul through service to Him which alone can give the permanent solution.

You may be compensated regarding your loss in course of time. Thus you may recover the loss but the time you spent in worry can never be compensated. Since your lifetime is a fixed quantum, the loss of time cannot be compensated. If you entertain yourself with enjoyment even during the time of loss, the time is not lost. When the loss is compensated you have gained both the time and the lost thing.

World Religions

If anyone says that his/her religion is the only path to God and that other paths lead to hell, I have one humble question. The question is for every religion without any trace of partiality. The simple question is: Today I have heard your Religion and if I follow that, I reach God and if I refuse I will go to the hell for my own fault. This is very much reasonable. But before your ancestors discovered our country, the literature or even the name of your religion was not known to our ancestor and he could not reach God for no fault of him. But your ancestor reached God through your religion at that time.

Even if I assume that my ancestor will take rebirth now and will follow your religion to reach God, such possibility is ruled out because you say that there is no rebirth for the soul. Thus my ancestor suffered forever for no fault of him and the responsibility for this falls on the partiality of God. Had the God been impartial, He could have revealed your religion to all the countries at a time. Had that happened, my ancestor might have also reached God as your ancestor. Therefore your statement proves your own God partial.

The only way left over to you to make your God impartial is that you must accept that your God appeared in all the countries at a time in various forms and preached your path in various languages. The same form did not appear everywhere and the same language does not exist everywhere. The syllabus and explanation are one and the same, though the media and teachers are different. Can you give any alternative reasonable answer to my question other than this? Certainly not! Any person of any religion to any other religion can pose this question.

Moreover every religion states that their God only created this world. Unfortunately this world is one only and every God cannot create the same world. There are no many worlds to justify that each God created His own world. Therefore any human being with an iota of commonsense has to agree that there is only one impartial God who created this one world and He came in different forms to different countries and preached the same path in all the languages simultaneously at one time.

Let this logic sword of the divine knowledge cut the rigid conservatism of the religious fans in this world to establish the Universal Peace. I need not beg all these religious followers to be united and harmonious to each other for the sake of world peace. Such begging appeals are made enough in the past. The religious fans feel that there is no unity really in the religions but they have to be united since their kind hearts melted by these appeals. Thus a temporary change was only brought. At the maximum one generation of the followers got united. The next generation fights with each other because they feel that there is no real unity in them due to lack of the real unity in their religious scriptures.

A permanent solution for this does not lie in the begging appeals, which may or may not unite the followers. Even if the appeals unite such unity is not permanent. If the real unity in all the religious scriptures is exposed through the logical divine knowledge, the followers have to be united for generations together. Therefore, My attack is not on the hearts of the followers through love and kindness. My attack is on all the religious scriptures through intellectual logical analysis of divine knowledge. The unity of hearts through love can be only temporary. The unity of brains through intellectual analytical divine knowledge will be permanent. Hearts agree but brains realize. Agreement is temporary, but realization is permanent. Thus this is My first blow of My divine Conch shell for the permanent unity of all the religions aiming at eternal Universal Peace.

True Essence of Yoga

Yoga is the most prestigious field of spiritualism. People think about 6 wheels (Chakras) or lotus flowers present in the spinal card, which are not seen by the eyes. They are imaginary and so they carry some inner meaning. When you say a face as a moon, fools search for moon in that face. But, wise people see similarity in the face and moon. Similarly, wheels and lotus flowers should not be searched in the spinal card. Spinal card is the main nerve, representing mind, which is the base of love.

All these wheels or lotus flowers are the bonds of love in the various relatives like parents, wife or husband, children etc. They are compared to wheels or the revolving whirlpools in the ocean, which attract a swimmer and drown him. Similarly, these love wheels are compared to lotus flowers, since the lotus flowers attract the bee by sweet fragrance and bind it. Similarly, these love flowers attract any one and bind them. “Kundalini” is the mind which is the energy travelling as waves like a serpent, should cross all these love wheels connected to 7th lotus flower in the head called “Sahasrara”, which is Buddhi or intelligence that takes the decision, which is the firm love on God.

Bhagavat Gita is called as the main scripture of Yoga (Yoga-Sastra). Why there is not even single reference to these wheels or lotus flowers in anywhere in Gita or even in Upanishats? Since they are not real, they are not even mentioned. The author of the Gita was Krishna, who was called Master of Yoga (Yogeswara). Krishna also says that the real yoga was lost since long (Sa kaleneha mahata….). This means that in the beginning, Sages in India knew the real yoga and loved God only crossing all their family bonds. In due course of time only, this true yoga was lost. Why? The middle age Indians were unable to cross their family bonds and so failed to succeed in Yoga.

They wanted to cover their in ability by twisting the very concept of yoga. The family bonds were removed from the concept and only wheels or lotus flowers are left fixed. Now, they close the eyes and say that they have seen the lotus flowers or wheels, which are only imaginary. Now they cross these wheels by their imaginary “Kundalini” and say that they have succeeded in Yoga. These blind teachers are also not to be blamed, because they were trained like that by their blind teachers. This misinterpretation was done long time back and hence, even at the time of Krishna, He told that yoga was lost since a long time.

We cannot catch those original culprits, who were the top most twisting masters and so the present tradition also cannot be blamed. Only rectification is the way left over. Some say that they see light, which is only an imagination. After all, the mind is a form of energy and on its concentration imaginary light can be imagined. Instead of such a week light, you better see a strong light with your open eyes. What is the use of these imaginary lights and colours, without achieving the Lord through your love, which excels the various worldly, loves.

I pity the foreigners, who are trapped in this false imaginary line of yoga, who are wasting their precious lifetime and energy. In fact, they are the best to succeed in yoga, if the reality of the yoga is exposed. Their family bonds are very weak and their love towards God is real, which is proved by their huge sacrifice of money to God’s work. Money is the fruit of work and its sacrifice for God’s work is “Karma phala tyaga” as mentioned in Gita. Again, the middle age Indians twisted this word “Karma phala tyaga” as sacrifice of the fruit of the work like praying God instead of sacrifice of money.

The reason was that these Indians were unable to sacrifice money to God due to their strong love on their children. Foreigners ask their children to earn after certain age. Indians store money even for ten generations and still continue to store only. Since prayers, meditation and knowledge are very much diverted to God, India was blessed by God with good language, good mind and good knowledge.

Since foreigners are good in sacrifice, God blessed them with good wealth. Even Indian spiritual centres were strongly funded by foreigners only. Swami Vivekananda cried, “Why my India suffers with poverty in spite of so much spiritual knowledge?” Sacrifice of money (Karma phala tyaga) and sacrifice of work (karma Sanyasa) put together constitute the God’s service, which is the real Yoga (real proof of love) called “Karma yoga” in Gita. Foreigners are the best in this karma yoga and so they easily succeed in yoga. Throughout Gita, this karma yoga was explained as yoga and wheels or lotus flowers are not at all mentioned.

Hell, Heaven and Kingdom Of Lord

This universe is infinite. I am unable to show the existence of these super worlds to you. I accept my incapability. But you are also incapable to prove directly the non-existence of these super worlds. Have you taken all over the universe and said, ” Here ends the universe. Beyond this point there is no universe. This is the compound wall of the space. Your super world does not exist anywhere’’. Therefore, there is equal chance for the existence and non-existence of the super worlds according to the theory of probability.

Now let us analyse of our cases. Both of us are eating to live. The basic needs are satisfied in the cases of both of us. You have spent extra time also in earning more money, which may give you some problems of health like sugar, B.P etc., due to over enjoying. I have not earned more money and I am healthy due to normal food. None of us will carry the money with us after death. The money given to the children may also be lost in several ways. Therefore, I do not find much difference between us, once the basic needs are satisfied. I am poor because I have spent my extra time in the service of God.

Suppose after my death, you are correct and there are no super worlds. In such case what I have lost? There is no loss for me. But after your death, suppose I am correct and there are super worlds. You have lost every thing and God will not save you. Thus, even on accepting your argument, based on the equal probability, it is better to serve the Lord by sacrificing the extra time and energy for the Lord after earning the basic needs. You must read the theory of probability, which is perfectly a scientific theory.

Why good people are suffering?

Some people say that even good people are unnecessarily harmed. They criticize God. You cannot decide any person as a good person. Did you observe him every minute from his birth? You also think yourself as a good person. Are you aware of your sins done in your childhood? You might have harmed an innocent insect in your childhood. Do you remember that? Even mental feelings are sins, which may not be expressed in words and actions. The feelings of the mind are the source of words and actions. Therefore the feeling may not hurt others today. But tomorrow it will hurt others which will come out in words and actions. In fact, intention is given more importance in the crime according to law. The judge gives more importance to the intention in giving the punishment. You are walking on the road and the ant is killed by your foot, without any intention. There is no punishment for such sins. But when you kill the same ant with intention, you are punished by God. Therefore mind is the source of action.

If somebody harmed really a good person, then also leave it to God. You should not revenge. Why? The reason is that you cannot judge the exact nature and line of the case. You do not remember your own sins. Some times you do the sin thinking that it is good. You cannot be the standard in judging your own sins. Only the Lord can decide. Therefore, if somebody harmed really a good person, in the view of the Lord also, then the Lord himself will punish him.

You cannot take the law and order in to your hand. You have to refer the case to the court. Let the Judge decide, and punish the criminal. Therefore the Lord said, “Revenge is Mine”. If the revenge is justified, the Lord will certainly punish. The Lord will not revenge if you pray Him to do so. The Lord, will not excuse even if you recommend the unjust case.

Neither you have the power to punish nor to excuse anybody. The reason for this is that you are not omniscient. If a sinner realizes the sin and repents, the punishment is reduced. After repentance if you do not repeat the sins, the punishment is cancelled. If the sinner does not repent, he will repeat the sin again and again. Such sinner can be controlled only by punishment. If this is not true the police department has no use. There are some sinners who can be controlled only by third degree treatment. If such punishment and revenge are not required, and if everybody can be transformed by preaching, then what is the necessity of the existence of’ Hell and Liquid Fire’.

If such possibility of transformation by love and knowledge is there, then why the Lord mentioned the word ‘revenge’ at all? Therefore this means that there are some sinners who cannot be transformed by love and knowledge. Some clever people criticize Lord Rama and Lord Krishna, who have resorted to punish the sinners. Such clever people should answer about the word ‘revenge’ uttered by the Lord and also should explain the mention of the liquid fire in the scriptures. If all the human beings can be transformed through love and knowledge such words should not have been mentioned in their scriptures.

By clonning can human become God

God created space, matter and energy just by His will as you create a dream of your imagination by your will. The dream qualitatively resembles the universe. But the magnitude or power is infinitely large in the creation of the universe from God. Therefore your dream is not as real as the universe. But you are talking about the creation of items of the universe. Certainly you are not going to create the human beings which are the items of this universe by your will. You cannot create even a real atom by your will. Therefore the comparison with God is absolutely meaningless. Assuming that you have created the human being, you are creating the human being with the help of some living matter and energy supplied to you. Even there you are creating a living item from another living tissue only and not from inert materials and inert energy.

Parents also create a baby from living tissue like sperm and ovum. In what way is your new process of creation (by cloning) different from the conventional reproduction as far as the basic point is concerned? Therefore, you are far from your dream of becoming God by millions and millions of miles.

You can represent the creator and the process of creation as a representative model when you generate an imaginary world by your will in a daydream and control that day dream by your will. The Lord gave this ability to you as a representative model so that you will understand the concept of creation of the universe by the Lord, when He preaches the divine knowledge in His human form. A model only indicates the actual concept and should not be considered as another duplicate concept at a micro-level. Through this concept of dream, people have misunderstood that a soul is a spark of God since the human dream can be considered as the same concept on the micro-level. A diagram of power station on a sheet is only a model to explain the original concept. The diagram itself is not a micro power station and it cannot generate even one milivolt of electricity.

Who created God

God has no beginning and no end because God is unimaginable. The beginning and the end must be also unimaginable for an unimaginable item. The beginning and the end of the cosmic energy or space or the creation are also unimaginable. Therefore, the beginning and the end are unimaginable for the unimaginable item like God and also for the imaginable item like space. Therefore, the two points, which are the beginning-less and end-less characteristics cannot help you in understanding the real nature of God. If you start recognizing the God by simply these two points (beginning-less and end-less), you may think that God is an imaginable item like the space or energy or the creation. In fact based on these two characteristics people have imagined God as an imaginable item like space or energy or creation. This concept has misled people to such a low level that people think that God is the very infinite space or infinite energy or infinite creation. Therefore, one should filter the concept of God at this juncture itself. One should think that God has no beginning and no end because the beginning and the end of an unimaginable item are also unimaginable.

Such God desired to create this Universe for entertainment. The very desire itself is the Creation. In view of God this present materialized universe in only an idea or imagination or the very desire itself. Therefore, the desire to create the world is itself the desire and also the created world itself is a desire. Thus the creation, maintenance and dissolution of the imaginary world are also imaginations or desires. A part of this infinite creation is the individual soul. The soul is like a drop of the infinite ocean of imagination or desire of God. Thus, quantitatively the entire ocean of imagination of God is very huge compared to the tiny soul. Remember that both the Universe and the tiny soul are made of the same substance called as imagination or desire. Thus the force of the Universe is far greater than the force of the soul. Due to such huge quantitative difference of the same phase, the Universe, which is far stronger than the soul appears as a materialized entity for the soul. But this infinite ocean of desire, which is the infinite Universe is a tiny drop compared to the infinite force of God. Therefore, again due to the same quantitative difference of force the entire universe is just the very weak imagination from the view of God. Thus imagination and materialization exist simultaneously true from the point of God and soul.

Logic is used to reject and imaginable item claimed to be an unimaginable item

Adi Shankara ( a previous human incarnation of God) made certain assumptions, which are hypothetical to preach the spiritual knowledge to the devotees at various levels. Generally the devotees are trained in the logic pertaining to the imaginable items in the world. The development of a concept by them is from a worldly example and also its application is to another worldly example. For example since the black color of the mud (cause) is entering into pot (its effect), the conclusion is that the nature of cause enters its effect. This conclusion is applied to another worldly example and they say that the bright color of the gold lump (cause) must also enter the chain (its effect).

Here, mud, pot, gold lump and chain are imaginable items and are worldly examples. Hence, all their logic is limited to the imaginable items only and that cannot be extended to the unimaginable God and His link with creation is also unimaginable because it is a link between unimaginable God and imaginable creation. This does not mean that logic is useless. It is useful in denying an imaginable item claimed to be unimaginable.

For example in the ancient time the awareness is thought to be independent energy like a free electromagnetic wave in space. But today due to advancement of science and analytical faculty it is clearly proved that awareness is not an independent item but it is completely dependent on the co-existence of functioning nervous system and the inert heat energy produced by the oxidation of food. It is only a special work form of energy appearing through a complicated special technology of brain and nervous system. It is not independent even like the electromagnetic radiation traveling in the space. That which was wonderful yesterday is clear today. It was unimaginable but now is imaginable. Therefore, there is a knowable region extending up to space in the creation.

In this knowable region there are certain layers of attained knowledge and certain layers of unimaginable nature. But the layers of unimaginable nature will certainly be analyzed by logic and science in the course of time. But there is a dead limit of this logic and analysis of science, which is the space beyond which the region of eternal unimaginable nature exists. Therefore, by conquering the unimaginable layers within the knowable region, it does not mean that one day or other the logic or science will cross the dead limit of space also and capture the unimaginable God existing beyond space. That is impossible.

You may try and try and one day you may touch the roof of your house by the constant practice of high jumps. But this does not mean that one day or other you will also touch the sky by the continuous practice of high jumps. Today the unimaginable layers within the knowable region may appear wonderful and these layers can be called as Maya. The word Maya comes from root meaning “wonder” (Maya vaichitrye). The word wonder does not mean that it will be always unimaginable. The temporarily unimaginable systems also look wonderful before the analysis. The magic show looks wonderful but it can be analyzed and the wonder may disappear after analysis. Hence, wonder need not mean the permanently unimaginable item only.

The deeper layers of this universe are wonderful without analysis but may be realized in future. These layers are temporarily unimaginable and the word wonder is used in the case of these also. Therefore, Gita says that you will find the universe as wonderful (Mayamtu Prakrutim…..).

God is the permanently unknowable region even for the intelligence enriched with science and logic.

The Universe is infinite with unimaginable beginning and unimaginable end. This means the cause from which the Universe started and the same cause in which the Universe ends on dissolution is the unimaginable God. Mud is the beginning stage of the pot and also the end stage since the pot ends in the mud on destruction. The Universe exhibits the unimaginable God by its unimaginable limits of beginning and end. The space is generated from God and the dissolution of space can only show the real nature of its cause (God).

When the chain is dissolved in fire, then only the gold lump, which is the cause of the chain, appears in its original form. But even if you imagine for millions of years, you can never imagine the dissolution of space and therefore you can never imagine the original nature of God. God is beyond space and God is the permanently unknowable region even for the intelligence enriched with science and logic.

Hence, God is a permanent wonder and the creation consists of some knowable regions of knowledge without any wonder and also some temporarily unimaginable regions with temporary wonder. Now the word Maya can be used for the wonder, which is both permanent (God) and which is temporary also (the deeper layers of the world up to the space).

Difference between God & God’s power (the process of generation of world from God is unimaginable)

When God is wonderful, we can call the power of God also as wonderful and thus the first sense of Maya (the power of God) can also stand for the power of God. In such case, there is no need of the second meaning of Maya which means that the power of God does not exist at all. The sun is like God and the sunlight or solar energy is like the power of God. Both exist separately and we can say that the power cannot be isolated from the source. Since, the power cannot be isolated from God, the modification of the power or the world cannot be also isolated from God. Therefore, Ramanuja said that God and world couldn’t be separated like the property (Dharma or Visheshana) and the substratum (Dharmi or Visheshya). The problem of changes in the world effecting God is answered by Shankara through the power of God being modified into world instead of God directly. In such case the power of God is the material cause and not the God.

Since the power cannot be isolated from God, we can treat God to be the material cause indirectly. In such case the significance of the power becomes more than God and this leads to the evolution of the cult of Shakteya, which says that God is just a rubber stamp like the president in India. The power of God is the real material cause through direct modification and is also the real designer also since the power is also awareness (Jnana Shakti), according to Shakteya philosophy. This means that we can do away with God completely and if at all we give a place for God, it is only on the simple consideration that the power needs a source. This leads the suppression of Vedanta, which gives complete importance to God.

At this point, Shankara told that the power cannot exist without source and cannot be isolated from God in any way. That single point cannot give the absolute and complete importance to God. The second meaning of Maya is applied in this sense only i.e., the power does not exist by itself without God. A child could not have been born without parents but all the subsequent greatness of the child cannot be attributed to parents based on this single point. Without Hiranyakashipu (father of Prahlada), Prahlada could not be produced. Based on this single point you cannot say that all the credit of the devotion of Prahlada should go to his father. For this reason only i.e., to give importance to God, Ramanuja and Madhva treated this power or material as inert and the power or the material is only the material cause but not the designer.

Even then at least the power or material gets half importance. If you want to give complete importance to God only, there is only one way i.e., to say that the power does not exist at all. The second meaning of Maya is now applied to the power in its full sense. In such case, all the above objections come into picture (direct modification of God, changes in the world effecting God etc.) since God is the direct material cause. All these objections can be simply ruled out by one stroke i.e., the unimaginable God creates the world in unimaginable way. This point is already indicated by Shankara by the word “Anirvachaniyata Khyati” which means that the process of generation of world from God is unimaginable.

This is the absolute truth and Shankara knows this very well. This point can be supported by simple argument i.e., there cannot be two unimaginable items like God and His power. When you say that you do not know what is present in a locked room, will anybody ask you “Whether one unknown item is present or two unknown items are present in the room?”. When what is present is unknown, how can you say that it is one or two or several? In such case why Shankara did not say this straightly through out His theory? The reason is a practical point.

How can God be unimaginable?

If a student comes and asks the preacher “What is God?” and the preacher says, “God is Unimaginable”; then the student asks again “How God created this world?” and the preacher says, “The process of creation is unimaginable”; the student will think that the preacher does not know the answers for his questions and will leave the preacher. This is the practical problem in revealing the absolute truth. The preacher should say the answers in positive way and the answers should satisfy the logical faculty of the student. Now you should analyze the basis of such logical faculty of the student. The basis is the observation of this world containing all imaginable items only. Hence all his logic is based on the observation of the nature of imaginable items and the relationships between the imaginable items only. This means that the preacher should say that God is an imaginable item and the imaginable process of generation of the imaginable world from imaginable God is in imaginable way only. Every sentence of the preacher should be imaginable to the student and then only the student gets satisfied.

The introduction of the word “Unimaginable” by the preacher leads the student to think that the preacher is ignorant. Hence to satisfy the student and to solve this practical problem, the preacher has to make certain assumptions and should preach about God through hypothesis only and not through real theory.

The reality is that the unimaginable God created the world through unimaginable way.

But to satisfy the student the hypothesis introduced here is that God is pure awareness. Here the infinite ocean of pure awareness is an assumption created because there is no proof of such ocean of awareness anywhere because you can find only the infinite ocean of inert energy. The infinite ocean of awareness is created by the preacher and such ocean charged by God can be treated as God Himself like the live wire treated as current. Now the student is satisfied.

Similarly, the creation of world from God should be also done through the imaginable way answering all the objections through imaginable ways only. This makes again the creation of another assumption for the process of creating the world by God. The assumption here is that a second unimaginable item called as the power of God is created which is modified into the world. Since the power is negligible, the world is negligible and maintains the existence of single God or Brahman. It is like the dream of a person created by the modification of the mind and the mind is negligible compared to the materialistic person. In course of time to satisfy the logic of students, changes in the hypothesis are made by Ramanuja and Madhva who introduced the assumption of a separate material, which is modified as the world without any connection to God.

The hypothetical assumptions can be varied for the sake of preaching the truth to the students in order to satisfy their logic developed from the observation of the world containing only imaginable items. This does not mean that the theories are different.

There is only one real theory that both God and the link between God and world are unimaginable.

But the preaching requires complete elimination of the word unimaginable and the whole preaching should continue with the assumptions of imaginable items and imaginable relationships between those imaginable items only. In such case all the assumptions are not true at all in the absolute sense. In such case you need not misunderstand that the three Acharyas are differing from each other with different theories of truth. The same truth is explained in different ways with different created assumptions of hypothesis for the sake of understanding of various types of mentalities of the students which are always based on the constant observation of imaginable items only (Ekam Sat Viprah bahudha vadanti…..Veda).

The final truth is known to Anjaneya who did not like to preach the truth through assumptions and hence kept silent in preaching. He showed the essence of all the divine knowledge through action (Karma) only because Karma can only be real and fruitful. His recognition of contemporary human incarnation and practical service to Him is the essence of the message of Anjaneya. For those who cannot accept the human incarnation, Shankara preached the divine knowledge with several assumptions and the most powerful assumption is that the soul itself is God. Shankara preached atheists and this powerful assumption attracted them to come and at least here the subject. All the Acharayas followed this method of preaching by assumptions to various levels of students who are based on the logic of imaginable items only.

The link between God and World is unimaginable

God is unimaginable. The link between the soul and world with God is also unimaginable because a link between two imaginable items only becomes imaginable.

The actions of God are also unimaginable since the actions of imaginable items are only imaginable. The only imaginable region is about all the items of the world and relationships between those items and the dead boundary of this world (imaginable region) is space. In this imaginable region there may be some temporary unimaginable regions, which are not analyzed today but one day or other those regions will be analyzed by the science. The unimaginable region for an ignorant person may be simultaneously imaginable to a scholar like the technology of an electronic instrument. Of course, even today, there are certain unimaginable regions even for scholars in the deeper planes of the science of world. Such planes will be known to scholars (Scientists) after some time by the grace of God, because such planes are within the limits of the space. The scientist is misled at this precise point.

Some time back, he did not know certain deeper planes of the world. Now he succeeded in analyzing those unknown planes. Due to this, scientist becomes blind with ego. Based on this success, he feels that he will analyze the final truth of the unimaginable limits of infinite space (world) in future on some day. This is not correct. The reason for this is that the planes which were not known to him and which are now known to him are within the limits of space only. Still, there are more deeper planes which are not known as on today. In the case of these planes, I assure the success for the scientist because these planes are also within the limits of space. But he should know that on any day he cannot cross the dead limits of space and God is beyond such space.

Since God is the generator of space (Atmana Akashah..Veda), we can touch the edge of God only in the unimaginable limits of the space. We can say that once we have touched the limits of space we have touched God.

Unimaginable limits of space are God

Let Me even say that the unimaginable limits of space are God. The scientist agrees the existence of these unimaginable limits of space and therefore the scientists is agreeing to the existence of God. Even the common man is experiencing the existence of these unimaginable limits of space by seeing the space with his naked eyes. The scientists see the space through the telescope and arrive at the same conclusion. The human intelligence cannot cross the four-dimensional space-time model at any cost on any day. The beginning and the end of the space (limits of boundary) are always untouchable and unimaginable for the intelligence of even top most scientists.

If he crosses the limits of this space, certainly he can touch (Know) God who is beyond the space or exists in the limits of space. The unlimited space stands forever reminding the scientist regarding this eternal truth. Thus, the Universe is visible to all human beings in all times exhibiting the unimaginable item through its unimaginable limits. This Universe is a practical proof and the clear miracle of God available to all to declare this basic concept for every human being on this earth. Nobody needs the demonstration of any miracle other than this to indicate the unimaginable God. The miracles are not available to all in all times. Even if some miracle is demonstrated, people may conclude it as illusion or coincidence of events. But in this demonstrated example of unimaginable limits of space, there is no such controversy. Moreover, in this miracle there is no hope to disprove the unimaginable limits of space in future even according to the opinion of scientists.

There cannot be two or more than two unimaginable items. Hence, the unimaginable limits of the Universe are showing only one unimaginable God directly to every human being. Since, you do not perceive the limits of the Universe, you have not perceived God. The existence of unperceivable limits establishes the unimaginable limits. The Universe is exhibiting its unperceivable and unimaginable limits. This means that you have not seen these limits. Hence, you have not seen the unimaginable limits, which are God.

But the existence of unimaginable and unperceivable limits is exhibited. This means that the unperceivable and unimaginable God exists and His existence is clearly exhibited. This Universe itself exhibits the existence of such God. From this, the conclusion is that you have understood only the existence of unperceivable and unimaginable God but this does not mean that you have seen or imagined God. Veda says “Asteetyeva Upalabdhavyah” which means that you can know only the existence of the unknowable God. Veda says that God is unperceivable and unimaginable (Na Chakshusha…, Yasyaamatam…..). Gita also confirms that God is unimaginable (Mamtuveda Nakaschana…).

Scientists have established the existence of permanently unimaginable God

You have two regions of unimaginable nature. One is the temporarily unimaginable region containing the deeper planes of world within the limits of the space and these are surely going to be analyzed in future by scientists. The other is the permanently unimaginable region, which exhibits the permanently unimaginable limits of space or God. Hence, scientists have established the existence of permanently unimaginable God. The unimaginable nature is the reason for wonder. Maya means wonder by its root word. Hence, we have temporary and permanent regions of Maya. Even the magic show, which creates wonder, is called as Maya, which is temporary since you can analyze it and know it after some time. But the miracle performed by the human form of the Lord can never be analyzed which is not magic and such divine miracle is a permanent Maya indicating the permanently unimaginable God in the human form. Therefore, the miracle of human incarnation and the unimaginable limits of space are one and the same in establishing the permanently unimaginable and hence permanently wonderful God.

Since there cannot be existence of two unimaginable items, there is no place for Maya and God together since both are permanently unimaginable. There can be several temporary unimaginable items in the world just like two items of a magic show. On realization the two items of the magic show give different imaginable technologies of performance of magic. But the realization of various permanently unimaginable miracles indicates only one unimaginable God. Therefore, in all the permanently unimaginable miracles, there is only one God as the basis, who is permanently unimaginable.

Maya needs a medium of imaginable nature to exhibit its unimaginable nature. The unimaginable limits of the Universe are exhibited by the imaginable Universe, which is composed by imaginable items. Similarly, the unimaginable God is exhibited by the imaginable human body, which performs the unimaginable miracles through imaginable actions and imaginable items.

For example, when the human incarnation moves its hand and produces sacred ash, the human form, hand, movement of hand and the final ash are imaginable items. With the help of these imaginable items, the generation of ash from space is exhibited as the permanently unimaginable miracle. Even the temporary Maya needs imaginable items in the magic show for exhibition.

Unimaginable God and imaginable human form

The unimaginable God needs the imaginable human form as a medium for expressing Himself to His devotees. In the case of human incarnation of God also, you have only understood the existence of the unimaginable God and you have not imagined the nature of God as in the case of the limits of the Universe. You have only seen that the limits of space are beyond the sight and this does not mean that you have seen the limits of space. In all these examples, Maya (Unimaginable item) exists in the imaginable items to give a proof for its existence just like the unperceivable electricity exists in the perceivable metallic wire to give experience of its existence. The wire with electricity can be treated as the electricity itself and there is no other way than this to perceive the electricity. The electricity has to be treated as the wire containing electricity. But every wire is not electricity.

Therefore, the unimaginable Maya has to be treated as the imaginable world, which shows the unimaginable limits. This does not mean that every imaginable item in the world with definite limits is Maya. Therefore, this world can be treated as Maya (Mayamtu Prakrutim….Gita). Here the word Prakruti stands for the world with unimaginable limits and it does not stand for any imaginable item in the world with definite limits. Similarly, the person charged by God (human incarnation) can be treated as God but not every person. The world with unimaginable limits and human incarnation with unimaginable miracles can be treated as God (Viswam Vishnuh.., Vasudevah Sarvamiti…..) and this does not mean that the world or the human body of human incarnation itself is God (Avyaktam Vyaktimapannam…Gita).

The world and the human body of the Lord give the proof for the existence of God beyond the world

The world and the human body of the Lord give the proof for the existence of God beyond the world and God beyond the human body of human incarnation respectively. You have not perceived the electricity in the wire and you have only experienced the existence of unperceivable electricity through the medium of wire and electricity is separate from the wire. Of course, electricity is imaginable for scientists and here it is used, as a simile only for God and the unperceivable nature of electricity is a comparison for the unimaginable nature of God. Except God, all are imaginable items and hence there is no other way than to choose an imaginable item as a comparison for the unimaginable God.

We take the unperceivable item or an item, which can be imagined with lot of difficulty as a comparison for the really unimaginable God. Awareness is an item of the world, which can be imagined with lot of difficulty and hence is selected as the best comparison for unimaginable God. Unfortunately, the concept of comparison is lost and awareness itself is thought to be God directly. One day the electricity in the wire compared to God by Me may become God! Another reason for such misunderstanding is metaphor, which is a figure of speech like simile. The simile reminds constantly that God and awareness are different items. But the metaphor misleads easily the ignorant people to think that awareness is God.

Only scholars can recognize the metaphor carefully. If you say that a person is like a lion, it is simile. The word “like” acts as the torchlight constantly to separate the person and the lion. In metaphor, we say, “The person is lion”. This misleads ignorant people to think that the person is actually the lion and they think that every lion (person) of the “Lions club” (A club of important persons who serve the people) is actually a lion, which will kill the people! Veda is the greatest poetry of the greatest poet, the God (Kavim Kavinam….Veda). Advaita scholars are also great scholars of all Shastras and they know this figure of speech very well. Alankara Shastra deals with figures of speech. They know the truth very well. But already they are so much intensively attracted by the concept of the soul to be God, that they cannot come out of this sweetest dream in which they get the highest without the least effort!

The dreamer knows that it is only dream but the sweetness is so much that he does not like to come out of it. A scientist is relatively better than such Advaita Scholar, who is caught by the powerful ghost of Mohini, because the scientist thinks himself as an ordinary soul and not God. You may say that the scientist denies God, which is the greatest sin. I agree to it, but if you analyze, even the Advaita scholar is also an indirect atheist. He is denying God apart from himself, which also means an indirect negation of God.

After the establishment of a simile, metaphor is used further in all contexts. A great person is compared to a lion and once this simile is established, the metaphor is used further and every important person is called as the lion. Thus, the lions of the lions club mean the important persons and not the actual cruel animals (lions). Similarly, it is established that the God is compared to soul and the universe is compared to the human body. Therefore, the word soul can stand for God as the word lion stands for the important person. Hence, in Veda the word Atman (soul) is used to mean God in some places. It does not mean that the word soul stands for the actual soul, just like the word lion in the lions club does not stand for the actual lion. At least in the first case the great person and lion are imaginable items and we can use the word ‘great person’ without lion. But in the second case, God is unimaginable and always needs an imaginable item for comparison. This problem becomes more significant when God comes in the form of a soul (human incarnation) where the word soul has to be used as the external cover (Upadhi) to indicate the direct address of God.

Any item of the world can be analyzed by science thoroughly-Statue do not contain God

Science is the absolute master as far as the world within its limits is concerned. Any item of the world can be analyzed by science thoroughly and the report of science is final. This is a great advantage to protect the correct spiritual knowledge from exploitations. Ignorant and selfish scholars exploit by misleading us in making us believe that certain worldly items are God directly. Awareness (Soul) is such best exploitation. Here comes science to rescue us from such twists and exploitations. The priests exploit us by saying that a statue is God or contains God. The analysis by science clears such exploitation. At least in the case of the soul, God may enter some soul (human incarnation) to preach the knowledge. But such necessity does not exist in the case of a statue and hence God never enters any statue.

The only purpose of statue is to keep it as a representative model of God. The Advaita Scholars exploit themselves only to enjoy the sweet dream. The priests exploit others to enjoy the sweets offered by others! Of course, the soul can be treated as the greatest item among the imaginable items of the creation and hence the soul can be called as Brahman because the root meaning of the word Brahman is that which is greatest. The word Brahman is Yaugika, which means that it can be applied to any item if the root meaning is applicable (Yoga Rudha means the word fixed to a particular item only when its root meaning is applicable to many including that particular item). The word Brahman is also applied to mean the scripture Veda that is greatest among all the scriptures (since Veda is protected by recitation from generation to generation without any deletions or introductions) as said in Gita (Brahmakshara Samudbhavam).

The word Brahman is applied to God also since He is greater than every thing in the universe and hence the greatest. You can meditate upon yourself separating from the body and get temporary relief from stress, which is like the first aid to injury. Like this the word Brahman is not Yoga Rudha and is not fixed in God only. The ignorance of this concept misleads you to think that the soul is God when it is said that the soul is Brahman (Ayamaatmaa Brahma…Veda). This means that a particular soul like Krishna, Adi Shankara etc., is God if you take the word Brahman to mean God. If you take the word Brahman to mean a greatest item in any category, this means that the soul is greatest in the universe. This may also be giving the metaphor for soul and God.

You can keep the statue to represent God as a model (Pratika) in the beginning. Veda says that you can worship the inert globe of Sun as representative model for God but immediately says that Sun is not God, Sun fears for God and God is not in inert object (Adityam Brahmeti…., Nedam tat…., Bhishodeti….,Natasya Pratima…). The tradition of Advaita and the tradition of worship of inert objects as models for God are good as long as they are limited to their specified levels and should not be over extended for exploitation of self and other selves.

God does not exists in any imaginable item except Human Incarnation

The Maya in the form of permanently unimaginable miracles is seen in an imaginable item of the world with definite limits like a particular human being called as human incarnation and it is not in every human being. The Maya (Power of God) is also in the unimaginable limits of the Universe but not in any item of the Universe except the human incarnation. Thus, you see the evidence of Maya, which is a proof for the existence of the God in the limited human incarnation and in the unlimited boundary of the Universe.

Krishna ( a past human incarnation) as finite human incarnation and His cosmic vision with infinite limits simultaneously stand for this concept. The exhibition of the Universe with unperceivable and hence unimaginable limits is the only aim of the Lord in showing the cosmic vision to Arjuna (a devotee of God) (Nantosti…Gita). Such exhibition indicates the unimaginable nature in the core of Krishna also simultaneously. Thus both the vision of infinite cosmos and the vision of unimaginable nature through the miracles in the human incarnation together prove that God is unimaginable in the limits as well as in the core. This vision concludes that the unimaginable limits of the Universe and the unimaginable nature of the human incarnation simultaneously. This vision gives simultaneous conclusion also that any item in the Universe except the human incarnation is imaginable and hence does not indicate the existence of God in any imaginable item except the human incarnation.

The final conclusion of cosmic vision is that unimaginable God exists beyond (the limits of) the Universe and God also exists in the human incarnation.

God in this human body of this Datta Swami gave this cosmic vision to two devotees (Ajay and Sitamma) simultaneously during a divine discourse on the day of Gurupurnima and asked both of them to explain their experience, who were keeping silent in a gathering of devotees. The identification of those two devotees only from the gathering of several devotees who were also silently hearing the discourse is also miraculous apart from giving such vision. The cosmic vision (Vishwarupam) was given during the discourse of Gita by Krishna. Hence, the miracles associated with miraculous divine knowledge alone can be the indication of God (Yadyat Vibhutimat Sattvam…Gita). Otherwise demons also perform miracles and hence miracles alone cannot give the address of God. Of course, the miracles exhibited even by demons indicate the unimaginable God but do not give the address of God in the demon. Since miracles serve their original purpose of indicating the existence of unimaginable God, God grants miracles even to demons. This satisfies the desire of demons and also the publicity of the existence of unimaginable God in the world simultaneously.

Miracle Vs divine knowledge

By miracles the existence of God is indicated and the miraculous knowledge gives the address of God (Jnanitvatmaiva…Gita, Prajnanam Brahma…Veda). Among the knowledge, love and bliss, knowledge is the most important sign since only knowledge can guide the soul to the goal. Expression of mere love or bliss or both cannot indicate God like the miracles. Without the proper realization, determination and practice will not materialize and without practice no fruit exists. Mere love can be seen even in a prostitute or a beloved darling who even sacrifices life for your sake. Such love does not guide you to the goal in the spiritual path and it dips you more in worldly bonds.

Similarly, you can see bliss in drunkard or similar persons smoking and taking drugs. They cannot guide you in the spiritual path because mere love and mere bliss cannot give you any realization and determination to practice. Hence, persons who are simply performing miracles and persons who are simply expressing reasonless love and bliss without clearing your doubts and without showing the correct path through perfect analysis are not the real human incarnations. Sometimes God incarnates only exhibiting the miraculous power to destroy evil forces and such incarnations (Matsya, Narasimha, Vamana etc.,) disappear immediately as soon as the purpose is over.

Lord never errs

The Lord is the writer of the constitution and He knows whom to punish. Some times you see punishment of innocent person. You think that the injustice is ruling. In the kingdom of God only the justice is the ruler by the grace of God. When the innocent is punished, the punishment was of some bad deed done by him previously and the date of the punishment coincided with the present incident accidentally.

Your view of the punishment is revenge but His view of punishment is to transform the soul. If somebody has stolen your money, don’t pray to God to punish that person. Everything is recorded by Him unlike the courts which register the case only when a complaint is given.

The enquiry by God takes place immediately. Sometimes you find no punishment from God and you are scolding God. The silence of God means that the enquiry was completed and the judgment was “no punishment”. In the previous birth, you might have stolen money from that person and today you paid along with the compound interest. In this case there cannot be punishment and the enquiry was over. Since you do not know this, you mistake God for His silence.

Suppose such background is not there, then you will get your money with interest in some other way which is compensated by God. That person will lose the money along with the interest. You will see it with your eyes. But suppose you cursed that person with revenge, you will receive the punishment in addition to the above. Kauravas stole a share of wealth of Pandavas and finally they lost their whole kingdom. Pandavas gained the total kingdom which is double the share. But Draupadi was cursing Kauravas aspiring always for the revenge.

She was also punished for this as she lost all her children. Therefore, we should not scold even our enemy even by words or mind. God takes care of the entire case. If the injustice wins, it is a black mark for His administration only. He is well aware of it and will take the necessary action. He is more serious in your case than yourself. Unlike the court, He does not require registration of case or witness or advocate. When Hiranyakashipu tortured Prahlada, Prahalada kept silent and did not curse him in any way.

The Lord took very serious action in that case. Thus you have to keep God at every step as the basis in the worldly life also (Pravrutti). Jesus told that unless you excuse others, you cannot be excused by God. Your enemy will be punished if he does not excuse others. Such behaviour which indicates the full faith on God at every step of the life is divine Dharma in Pravrutti or Nivrtutti.

This is disgusting! Mary Cheney and Heather Poe have had a son together - just like that hammerhead shark that gave birth to a baby without ever being around a daddy hammerhead shark, right? No, even lesbians cannot engage in parthenogenesis. We engage in Genesis, like the Book of Genesis! With Adam and Eve, not Madam and Eve!

So, they’ve got a son, but do you know what those lesbians are going to teach him? They’re going to teach him to be attracted to women, just like his two mommies!

Mary Cheney’s son is going to be a lesbian, being homosexual even when he is sleeping around with women of the opposite sex, that little baby slut!

Oh, gag! I’ll go ahead and ask you, you lesbian-loving liberal, but you won’t like the way I ask you? I’ll have to ask you through a face mask so that I don’t get your woman loving cooties!

The whole world is the kingdom of Visa

You must realize that the whole world is the kingdom of Visa as stated by Mastercard. Because I said so, that’s why. Any injustice will be punished by Customer Service and you need not worry about it. Your view of the debt limit is revenge but our CEO’s view of interest rates are to transform the blah blah blah blah blah…

Sorry, I lost steam. Here, let me start again:

The more definitively someone tells you they know what God is, the more desperate they are to nab your cash.

Fair? Unfair? True? Untrue?

A long time ago now, back in the summer of 2006, I wrote about the need for 425,000 mommies to put those poor little frozen blastocysts in their uteruses, adopt them and raise them as their own precious snowflake babies. I said I would hook people up with some of those cute blastocysts, if only they would leave a comment with their contact information. H-e-double-toothpicks, I’d just take your e-mail address! I said I was sure that all the good conservative Christian mommies with intact uteruses would be sure to offer their services. After all, we’re talking about saving a human life here! Those blastocysts are babies! And who wouldn’t save a baby???

It has been nearly a full year now. But nobody has volunteered.

Why? I hear all the time that these little snowflake blastocysts are just as much little human babies as a full-term baby. So where are the compliant and fecund conservative Christian women to save these little babies’ lives?

It has now been an entire day since I posted my challenge to the effete secular humanist academic cabal. Go ahead, I challenged them, I dare you to try and PROVE that God does not exist!

Not ONE limp-wristed, sushi-eating English professor has answered my challenge. And not one will do it now.

Let me repeat myself: CAN YOU PROVE THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST?

Cowards! I think we know what they really believe in their hearts. So why don’t they just come out of their swishy closets right now and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior?

Memorial Day 

There is a day that we all should remember,And it is the days from the past.Many will not remember it,Because their days will not last!We all seek to see the future, But one day it will pass.But to the One with the memories,It will always last. 

One too many have died for our freedom,One too many will die once more.But can we stop this ugly killing,That is taking our loved ones aboard offshore?We can all join together,And stop their ugly war.But they say we all must have freedom,So our loved ones must die at war! 

We try to be famous, But will we withstand another war once more?Because millions have died for trying,To save our Country offshore.We travel to a Foreign Country,To fight another war.But can we withstand the fighting,When we are only poor? 

I look outside my window,When I am living on another Foreign Land.I see no others dying,For there is no war on their Land.But the American’s keep on trying,To solve the problem’s they do not have!For their problem’s are with other Nation’s,Which the problem’s we should not have! 

But Memorial Day should be for the living,Instead of the one’s that have died from the past.But we all live in misery,Because we think of the past!This song is for the one’s that are not living, Because they died in a war of fear!How long can we keep on fighting?Until all of us are a memory in God’s head????

Drunk and stoned when I wrote this! What a lousy way to prevent me to think of the past, but for billions’ of other’s, they are just like me….  Keith Ray Elam

A year ago I got hooked on soymilk. I loathe milk, so when my aunt and uncle came to town and took me to a trendy coffeeshop, soymilk was one of the options for the coffee (although fair trade coffee was not), so I asked for it. Soymilk actually tastes pretty good and doesn’t make me nauseous or groggy like milk with its notorious tryptophan. Over time have become dependent on Silk Soymilk Plus with omega-3 and various antioxidants and vitamins for my morning coffee or tea, my breakfast cereal or granola, and my bedtime Swiss Miss chocolate herbal tea.

Today I didn’t feel like going all the way to the supermarket that carries the Soymilk Plus, so I got a carton of Silk Soymilk Fortified for Kids. I was comparing labels to see if this type of soymilk has a similar vitamin content (it does) when I noticed an unusual promotion on the carton. The product has a green cap to represent wind energy and pictures of windmills. According to the carton, they use 100% wind energy to make their products. They do seem to be purists. No animal products are used in any of their products and the soymilk is certified organic plus made from soybeans that were not genetically engineered. Their website, SilkSoymilk.com has an educational section about environment and how to support wind energy at home.

BTW, I’m waiting to see if the price of soymilk goes up as more acres are planted for ethanol.

At the end of last week, 86 Democratic members of the House of Representatives joined the Republicans. They voted to support George W. Bush, and give Bush the power to continue the Iraq War with no strings attached.

Back in 2006, is that what we elected the Democrats to a majority of Congress to do? No, the Democrats were elected to Congress in order to stop the war.

The Democratic members of the House that you see below voted for war at the end of the week, just before the Memorial Day weekend, hoping that we would all just forget about their treachery. No such luck for them. Now, at the beginning of the next week, we are calling them out.

The following Democrats in Congress decided to support George W. Bush instead of representing their constituents. They do not deserve to be re-elected in 2008.

Pro-war Democrats, every one. Remember how they betrayed the promise of 2006. Support the Democratic primary challengers against them.

Thank you, Baby Jesus, for sending us Congressman Virgil Goode of Virginia.

Did you know that on the $1 coin the GOVERNMENT has printed this year, the phrase “In God We Trust” is on the edge of the coin?

The LIEberal powers that be have put our God on the edge! Just hanging on! How long can God last there?

But Congressman Virgil Goode, guided by our dear sweet Baby Jesus (good Son that He is), has sponsored legislation to rectify the situation. H.R. 2510 is a bill that, if passed, would make it a matter of law that “In God We Trust” would only be printed on the face of America’s coinage.

This is an improvement. But it occurs to me that if “In God We Trust” is put on the front of a coin, it is smothered when the back of the coin. Smothering God? God forbid! At least I hope so. I mean I hope He forbids it, not that He is smothered, in His infinite wisdom.

Yes, God forbid. I do hope so. I hope that our dear sweet massively muscled Baby Jesus will send a new message down to our Rightly Righteous Congressman Virgil Goode, mandating a Holy Writ of Amendment to H.R. 2510 that the words “In God We Trust” shall be written on BOTH sides of America’s coinage. That way, the Word of our Lord and Savior shall always be apparent.
