LEAVING world & JOINING THE GOD A devotee asked: We are unable to leave this world and approach God. What is the solution in this point? Shri Datta Swami Replied: Leaving this imaginable world, which is visible and invisible, is impossible. Nobody can reach the unimaginable God since He cannot be reached even in imagination. Even the God, the ultimate goal, is in the form of an item of this world (Since He comes to this world in human form called Human incarnation). If the item is visible, it is relevant to the visible human being. The invisible item (energetic incarnation) is relevant to the upper worlds in which the invisible energetic souls exist in the invisible energetic bodies. If the visible item is alive, it is more relevant to the visible alive human beings. Thus, the most relevant item is the contemporary alive human form (alive human form of God or present human incarnation of God) . Hence, the invisible-unimaginable God existing in such human form is out of the scope of discussion. The highest effort can be only to note the existence of the unimaginable God in a specific human form (Asteetyeva…, Om Tat Sat… Veda). The external human form (human incarnation of God or God in human form) must be treated as the unimaginable God for all practical purposes in doing service and to please the God. Thus, your highest goal, God, is a part of the world only, which is the specific human form. The process of reaching Him is also worldly work. You are a part of the world. Therefore, there is no point of leaving the world at anytime. You are leaving one part of the world to reach the other part of the world. You are leaving America to reach India and both are on the Earth only. Leaving Earth is impossible. Thus, the unimaginable God is received as an imaginable item of the world only. Even the unimaginable power to be expressed as a miracle is based on the worldly items only. Krishna, His tender finger, the huge mountain, the process of lifting, etc., are the imaginable items of the world only. The unimaginable nature (Maya) is noted through the imaginary parts of the world (Prakriti) and hence, the unimaginable God is also to be noted as the worldly item, the human body. This point is explained in the Gita (Mayaam tu prakritim viddhi, Mayinam tu Maheswaram). To travel from one country to the other, certain efforts are required. You should not put question to treat these efforts also as a problem. The basic guiding force in all the efforts is your attraction towards the country to be reached. This driving force of attraction (devotion) will overcome all the hurdles if the devotion goes to climax on attaining the complete knowledge of the goal (Bhaktyaatvananyayaa Labhyah – Gita). If you have the complete knowledge of the country you are going, all those complete details can develop the highest attraction. Deficiency in the attraction is responsible for your inability to do the journey. The deficiency in the attraction is due to the deficiency of the knowledge of all the details of the goal. Hence, Shankara says that the complete knowledge of the goal will enable you to reach the goal (Jnanaadevatu Kaivalyam) since the complete true knowledge spontaneously develops the required force of attraction to take up the journey and reach the goal. ----------------------------------------------------- ----- [For more divine knowledge kindly visit our web site: www: universal-spirituality.org Paste the above link in the browser and replace : by . ] -----------------------------------------------------------
