Swarga
(Heaven)
Swarga ... The abode of Atmans (souls) in transit! All
Atmans (souls) until they get a suitable womb to manifest on Mother Earth
wait in Swarga (Heaven). Atmans in all their pristine beauty and purity
when in Swarga (Heaven) enjoy the fruits of actions performed by them
in past manifested lives!!
Every action is the prerogative of a physical being ... A body! No Atman
can ever perform an action on its own ... It has to manifest a body!!
The Metal (Atman in its pristine form) in an ore (the massive cauldron
of Cosmos) is inert unless the ore is cleaned (Karma performed) and the
metal liberated from the impurities (the World of ignorance, the clutches
of Maya) surrounding it!
Every Atman manifests a body only to cleanse itself ... Nothing more!
What more can be the goal of the metal hidden in the ore!! A layman may
not easily understand but the rich ... Rich not in wealth but Spiritual
understanding ... Understand this Eternal Truth.
The total community of the West is living in a Swarga (Heaven) of their
of their making ... They indulge yet remain happy! Reasons for their happiness
... The radiating glow on their face is something from within. They are
at peace with their inner self. When dealing with others they do not intend
to cheat ... Disturb the peace of their mind!!
They practice Gita inherently in their daily lives whereas we Indians
do not respect Gita and consider it an instrument for hiding our untruths
(Giving false testimony after oath on Gita is a rampant practice in Indian
courts). We preach ... What we do not follow! We are the born Masters
... Yet poor in behavior!! To radiate the Eternal glow ... Speak Truth
and learn to live in the present. Teach and preach only which you follow.
Only then shall you reap the benefits of living in the swarga of your
making.
Every individual is a Cosmos unto himself ... Comparable to a particle
of dust in the mighty Cosmos. What powers within the control of one, yet
you feel humble ... Always lost in the bright illusion of the Nature.
Out from the clutches ... You are free to become an Enlightened being,
one only next to God!!
Strive and make a Swarga of your own ... Only then can you hope to achieve
what God destined for you. Why stoop low and enter the naraka (hell) in
this very life. A poor destitute loitering among the waste dumps looking
for food to eat? Suffering from incurable diseases and dependent on others,
a burden unto himself? Some where in life past or present you indulged
in wrong karma and incurred the wrath of God ... What more can you hope
than going to a hell of your making!
One reaps the fruits of karma in this or after many manifestations. Still,
one can pray and atone for all sins in this very life! Why not earn the
grace of God and even while living in a swarga of your own making try
to proceed on the path of self-realization!
If ninety percent of the Western Society lives in a swarga of their making
... Hardly five percent Indians would cross the line! What of the balance
... Living practically in naraka (hell)!!
