UNPREVENTABLE & UNPREDICTABLE TRUTH:

                                       

 
Since childhood everyone of us has many dreams & plans to be successful in as many fields of our lives, but there is no guarantee that we will be successful... Fortunately or Unfortunately, there is definitely one certainty or guarantee in everyone’s life and that’s Death..SAD 😢; we can’t predict the timing but 100 % success rate for everyone—the Unpreventable & Unpredictable Truth of the life.

This Unpreventable & Unpredictable Truth about mortality of life & life-death cycles was spoken many times by Lord Krishna; the last time it was spoken about 5000 years ago while he was offering guidance or counsel to Arjuna (his friend/family member/student and loved one) at the time of Mahabharata War. How strange & bizarre is it that the person you asked for advice at the time of emergency/helplessness, is now talking about your & your loved one Death? 

Lord Krishna’s counseling in Gita starts with the introduction of Death -- the ultimate FEAR & AGONY in everyone’s life. God is preparing us by giving the worst news 1st, so that we can tolerate the any other situation that comes in our life. At least once in our lifetime, everyone of us has been tormented by the Death of our loved ones or even the thought. Indirectly, this Unpreventable Truth & many other Truths of the life was spoken by Lord Krishna to us. 

With our predominant material consciousness & bodily concept of life, it is kind of difficult for us to digest & live with this unavoidable truth of life. With further evolution of our Spiritual Consciousness by practicing Spiritual Yoga we can be able to live fearlessly with this Unpreventable Truth of life. It is almost impossible for us to rise SPIRITUALLY & enjoy the present situation if we can’t rise over the MATERIAL agony (dishonour, paucity, mistakes, deficiencies, aging, disease & Death) of life.

This inevitable truth was recorded by Lord Vedvyasa in 20 slokas from Bg 2.11 to Bg 2.30 . 

Bg 2.11 -- The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead.

Bg 2.13 -- As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.

Bg 2.17 -- That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul.

Bg 2.22 -- As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.

Bg 2.30 -- O descendant of Bharata, he who dwells in the body can never be slain. Therefore you need not grieve for any living being. Vedabase.com

Have a Fearless Day & Life... 😃 

It is easy to say, but difficult to follow. I am in the same boat with everyone else, or I may even be behind, but thinking in the right direction will help us to go in the right direction. 

Thank You.

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION , SOURCE & THE GURUS:

I am inspired to hear & read the Vedic Scriptures by regularly listening to Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale, also known as Dadaji ( speaks on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and the association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra. 

I also hear and read the discourses & literature on Vedic thoughts from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples ( HH Bhakti Rasamitra Swami, HH Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Shubha Vilas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, HH Bhakticharu Swami, HH Urmila Devi Dasi, HH Sivarama Swami, HH Radhanath Swami, HH Romapada Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......). 

FYI: A good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com . Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures. Repeatedly hearing/reading & meditating the Scriptures, Eating Sanctified Pure Food and Chanting Vedic Mantras are nourishing to our heart (Soul), transcendental to our consciousness, purifying to our senses and thus helps us to overcome our weaknesses or deficiencies. Yes, we do have good qualities within us but there is always a room for improvement. 

It is always a good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. Thanks to the Facebook/Social media for providing me the platform. Of course I use Smartphone/Google Pexels search to collect some data. 

Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE. Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of the Guru & God ( Krishna , Absolute Truth ).

NOTE:
Many times a word Hearing is used instead of Listening when it comes to the Scriptures. Because Scriptures are so potent that simply by Hearing them even if you don’t try to interpret or analyze or understand them still there will be passive positive effects on our mind & senses.

We can follow either the Quran, Bible,Torah, Tripitaka, Agama, Guru Granth Sahib, Gita or any other Philosophy which makes sense to us, purifies us, elevates our consciousness and qualifies us to understand God and instill the love of God & his creation. ( whichever way we can understand God -- either Personal with many names or Impersonal as an universal consciousness & energy ).

Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion or Depiction ( means image, picture...etc ) but try to understand him by the Definition through Scriptures. The Transcendental subject of God & his creation cannot be understood by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why is the circle circular? Just by definition, the circle is circular. Similarly by definition, God is unborn, complete, unlimited, infinite, eternal, the Absolute Truth the source of everything, cause of all causes. 

I see God, besides the above mentioned qualities, as an eternal living person ( not a abstract or some kind of light ) known by the name KRISHNA meaning one who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, forms, abodes, incarnations, activities, qualities, associates, is full of wisdom, bliss, and the cause of all causes.

Bg 9.17 -- I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support and the grandsire. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable oṁ. I am also the Ṛg, the Sāma and the Yajur Vedas.

Bg:13-12:-- Accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth ( God ) – all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance. ( Vedabase.com ).
