Aim of Human Life!

Shree Hari     

     There is one main point and it is worth paying attention to, that this human body has been received only for attaining our salvation (Kalyaan). Earning money and enjoying pleasures – is not the purpose of this human body at all. Enjoyment of sense pleasures takes place in all the various different forms of birth. From the demi-gods (devatas) to those creatures lying in hell, they all get sense pleasures. 

How to Realize the Essence? - 2

          Shree Hari 

     I will share with you one very fine point, which I have read in books and heard from saints. God exists (is present) and exists at all times. There is no time when God is not there. The time is within God's enclosure. God is at no time non-existent, but in God the time is non-existent. God who is present at all times, therefore He is present now as well. If he was not there right now, then how can God be there at all times?

How to Realize the Essence? - 1

     When we were studying at that time the teacher wrote and explained "A, B, C, D…." and we accepted it as it being so and remembered it, and thus become learned in due time. Now we do not quite know how the "A" became an "A". Two lines were drawn vertically at an angle and one line was drawn through them and it was called "A" by the teacher, and we accepted it to be so, that yes Sir, this is an "A". Now we have no other way out, besides accepting it to be so.

How to Realize the Essence?

Shree Hari 

     To ask someone about their spiritual experiences, their realizations and to tell them about yours – both these are not very good things. Secondly, any speaker, will tell the very best points from his own perspective, as every body wants to feel honored. He too cares about his reputation, therefore why will he tell you some thing inferior? How will he hide his experiences, and realizations?

The Greatness of an Firm Determination-1

Shree Hari

     

     Believe and accept God and know the world. How to know God? By knowing God is present (existing, IS, Eternal, Permanent). And how to know the world? By knowing that the world is NOT (it is non-existing, impermanent, perishing, constantly changing). On knowing the world correctly, God will manifest.

The Greatness of an Firm Determination.

Shree Hari 

     I have heard from saints that if one firmly ascertains with an unyielding conviction that "Paramatma Hai" (God IS) – then the responsibility is shouldered by God to make Himself known. We cannot know God by our efforts, but when the sentiments are firm that "God is every where," then God makes Himself known.
