SUPERNATURAL SKILLS:    

                                        

Smartphones & Social media are the modern ways to communicate & connect with the world. YouTube, Twitter, Facebook & WhatsApp are the modern newspapers to receive the latest news. Many people are using these modern newspapers to post news, worldly mundane information, vacations pictures and also to inform or & inspire others about their special Skills or Talents. Humans in general, due to so much passion, like to spend their valuable time, money & energy to learn new Skills. When we see other creatures, however; they don’t require any special training, time, or money to learn the Supernatural Skills; they are born with these Skills. Let’s see some examples below.  

1. FLYING: Eagle can fly high in sky without any pollution & noise.
2. RUNNING: Deer & Cheetahs can run a 5k in no time.
3. FEROCIOUS WARRIOR: A Lion is so ferocious and can kill any creature on this planet....
4. STRENGTH & POWER: The Elephant is so strong & powerful, it can lift or carry the heaviest loads we can ever imagine without any weight lifting training.
5. SWIMMING: Fish can swim the whole ocean without Guppy classes....LOL 😂. 
6. SCUBA DIVING: Many sea creatures can swim underneath water for many hours without oxygen tanks....
7. LONG JUMPS: Monkeys can jump naturally from tree to tree without any long jump training.
8. SINGING: Birds can sing beautifully without any practice and musical instruments.....so on & so forth.

The Human body is not designed to have the above mention Supernatural Skills. Due to highly evolved consciousness & passion, it is human natural desire to learn the above mentioned Skills which can give us a Thrill...LOL 🤣. In real life, the Human body design is specifically created to learn much more then just external material Skills and that’s the internal SPIRITUAL SKILLS. Just like animals are born with hidden external bodily talents, we are born with hidden internal Spiritual talents. Due to crazy lifestyles & busy learning other Skills, sometimes we get distracted or fall away to reawaken the most precious Skill within us and that is the SELF-REALIZATION; which is impossible to learn as any other creatures on this planet. 

Our Godly Qualities (Love, Kindness, Compassion, Gentleness, Great-fullness, Forgiveness, Humbleness, Discipline, Generosity...etc) are the reflections of our internal Spiritual Skills or Self-Realization. This Supernatural Spiritual Skill is the Everlasting Treasure beneficial to us, our family, friends, colleagues, community, country & whole world.....A Win-Win strategy.

"OUR PRESENT LIFE, FUTURE DIRECTION, DESTINY & NEXT LIFE ARE DEPENDENT ON HOW WE UTILIZE OUR MIND & MOMENT." 

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

Bg 18.42 -- Peacefulness, self-control, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty, knowledge, wisdom and religiousness – these are the natural qualities by which the brāhmaṇas (sober person) work. 

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 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-Buddhism, Agama-Jainism, Guru Granth Sahib-Sikhism, 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 ).
