1. Is it necessary to
have a goal in life?
You remove the goal in football or hockey. The
play becomes meaningless.
2. What is the goal of
life?
To be a perfect human being
3. What is the purpose of human existence?
The purpose is only realisation or to realise
one's own nature which is Divine.
4. Should we aim for
Peace or Realisation?
Everyone wants peace. That means Realisation is
not the aim. In that case, one may get peace but
not realisation. But if realisation is the aim,
peace will automatically follow.
5. What is meant by Realisation?
You know what you are, but you do not
know what He is. When you know, or feel in yourself,
what He is, that is Realisation. It is really
a dumb state which is beyond expression. Really
it is a tasteless state, unchanging and constant.
There is no charm, no attraction and no anandam
in the popular sense of the word. It can more
appropriately be described as "Sang-e-benamak"
(i.e. a lump of salt from which saltishness has
been taken away). One having attained the state
of Realisation develops an unfailing will in the
spiritual sphere.
6. What are the main
obstacles in the path of realisation?
There are three aspects 1.We try but
there is no attempt.2.We try too many things at
the same time3.We do not have confidence in ourselves.
7. What is conception
of the man who has attained all the spiritual
developments?
Balance. One cannot become God for there
can be no two administrators of the world.
8. Where to seek the
Master, the God?
Seek in you, and you will find yourself
- The Master is there. But when? Only when you
are not there.
9. What is the difference
between knowledge and realisation?
Knowledge is only an achievement of brains whereas
realisation is the awakening of soul and hence
far-beyond its scope.
10. My Goal is complete
oneness with Babuji Maharaj
Goal is always the Nothingness in us and not the
nothing. Secondly Rev. Babuji being the goal is
only to ensure our identicality with his extreme
state of nothingness. Being more clear enables
us to lift ourselves from emotional realms.
11. Though I don’t
know what my goal is, at least I can feel what
I am getting out of it. Perhaps they are all freebies,
which in turn are building a strong desire for
forever happiness, calmness and I believe that
is only possible by being ‘oneness with
The God’.
Philosophies apart. The only meaningful
goal we can have is to lead a happy life even
as God wants us to. For this there is a necessity
to know what makes us feel happy. This knowing
leads to the fact that we need to know Divinity.
This is what Master means when he says ‘it
is our primary duty to realize God’. You
have come to the point in a different way and
that is good. After having known this it is your
duty to realize the same with all sincerity and
devotion to Him.
12. Sir, could you please
kindly clarify what is nothingness?
If I can clarify ‘nothingness’
do you think it will be ‘nothingness’.
God is nothingness; and that is what the Vedic
doctrine said when used the words ‘Neti.
Neti.’ For describing the ultimate condition.
It is nothing of what we know. May be if you read
some of my articles on the concepts of silence
etc., you get some idea about this. But we do
feel ‘nothingness’ during meditation
when even everything is void. Wait and experience
for your self.
More on Goal
1. There is no change
in my Goal and it is complete oneness with Babuji
Maharaj.
It is good to think so. As my revered
father puts it, see manual, the condition of the
Master has to be in our centre of devotion. Nothingness
and nothing short of nothingness is our goal.
- sentiments alright.
2. What is Realisation?
Please do note realisation means making
something actual in our life and cannot be confused
as vedantins do with the merger in an imaginary
Brahman. Brahma gati is the truth. Brahman as
a person is an illusion. These are matters of
experience.
As a matter of fact one of the means other than
that of Karma, Jnana, Bhakti and Prapatti yogas
is the understanding of the real nature of the
Avatar or the Supreme Personality. One who knows
this gets to be one with Him and attains the state
of Realisation.
Goal clarity is if I may suggest is to become
Suns of Spirituality which for me is more practical
way of looking at the subject of Realisation even
as Master has put it.
