Disciple - Namaste Master.
Spiritual Master - Namaste Prabhu. Let God's mercy be with you always.
Disciple - I have lots of questions about the secrets of life. I would heartily appreciate if you could enlighten me.
Spiritual Master - I know NOTHING about the secrets of life. Still, I will do my BEST to enlighten you based on the information provided in our Holy books.
Disciple - I BELIEVE and TRUST in you as you are one of the saintly persons who treats happiness and miseries the same way without getting disturbed.
Spiritual Master - Happiness and Miseries are the result of the sense perception. You will undistrubed by the Maya if you surrender to the Lotus feet of the Lord. Please go ahead and ask your questions.
Disciple - Who am I ?
Spiritual Master - You are the Spirit Soul descended from the Spiritual world to this Materialistic world. You are not the body and mind as you think.
Disciple - Why do the Spirit Souls have descended from the Spiritual world?
Spiritual Master - Because the Spirit souls have the greed to enjoy the material desires in this materialistic world.
Disciple - Why there are sufferings in this Materialistic world ?
Spiritual Master - It is the nature of this Materialistic world. It is something like asking why chili is spicy? We are Spirit souls who belong to the Spiritual world. A fish can be happy only in water. Similarly, We can have eternal happiness only in our Spiritual world. Materialistic world is described in our Vedic scriptures as—duḥkhālayam and aśāśvatam [Bg. 8.15]. Duḥkhālayam which means, it is a place of miseries. Aśāśvatam, which means temporary.
Disciple - If the materialistic world is a place of miseries or sufferings, I could see lots of billionaires and celebrities enjoying it?
Spiritual Master - What you see from the outside is actually a Mirage ( A sheet of water will be visible in the Desert due to Optical Illusion caused by atmospheric conditions ). You never know the pain or sufferings that they undergo. Everyone, who has taken birth in this materialistic world needs to undergo miseries or sufferings. It is the nature of the materialistic world. Can you explain why a few Celebrities and billionaires committing Suicide if you claim that they are enjoying it?
Disciple - On what basis the Spirit soul Enjoys or Suffers in this materialistic world? Do the degree of Enjoyment and Suffering is same for all Spirit Souls?
Spiritual Master - Everyone in this materialistic world enjoys or suffers based on one's karmas. When God have created this Materialistic world, he also has created the Law of Karma ( What you sow, you reap ). If you do good, good will come back to you. The opposite is also true. I hear most of them jumping with the question, why I am suffering even though I haven't done anything bad? The perfect answer is that your soul carries the Good / Bad Karmas through multiple incarnations. Your current sufferings might be because of the past bad karmas. Only very few wise men ask the question "Why I am enjoying ?" when many are going through hardships.
"A wise man learns the "Law of Karma" from others sufferings; A fool learns from his own sufferings; A sinful man will never learn from his sufferings also".
Disciple - I hope, I am a wise man. So only I ask these questions to safeguard myself from the sufferings on seeing others.
Master - ( Gives a Gentle Smile )
Disciple - What are the major attributes of this materialistic world?
Spiritual Master - Birth, Old Age, Disease and Death are the major attributes of the materialistic world. Even though science has lots of advancement, science cannot win over these attributes.
Disciple - Yes, I agree that You are correct.
Spiritual Master - I am not correct. The contents of the Holy books are correct.
( Disciple nods his head gently to show his acceptance )
Disciple - What is the Ultimate goal of Human life?
Spiritual Master - Attaining Liberation from the repeated cycle of Birth and Death and going back to the Spiritual World is the ultimate goal of human life.
Disciple - How can the Spirit soul go back to Spiritual World?
Spiritual Master - When the Spirit soul gets liberated, it will go back to the Spiritual world, breaking the cycle of birth and death. As per the Bhagavad Gita Chapter 8 Verse 15, Lord Krishna says, “After attaining Me, the great souls, who are yogīs in devotion, never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection.”].
Disciple - How to safeguard oneself from the sufferings in this materialistic world?
Spiritual Master - A person who chants the holy names and surrenders to the Lotus feet of the Supreme Personality, can be safeguarded from the Sufferings in this materialistic world. "He who meditates on the Supreme Personality of Godhead, his mind constantly engaged in remembering Me, undeviated from the path, he, O Pārtha [Arjuna], is sure to Reach Me" [ Bhagavad Gita - Chapter 8; Verse 8]
Disciple - What should I ask God, when I pray?
Spiritual Master - Don't ask for any materialistic things, which will give temporary happiness. Please pray for the mercy of God and for His Divine Protection and Divine Guidance always. When God is with you always, what else you want in this materialistic world.
Disciple - Please suggest one book that can give more clarity about Soul, Reincarnation, God, Liberation, etc.
Spiritual Master - Bhagavad Gita. ( Bhagavad - God; Gita - Song ). It is the Song of God, in which God explains the essence of Vedas in 18 Chapters and 700 verses. Don't just read it, try to get the meaning of every verse using your logical mind. Question everything and accept the content only if it satisfies your intellect. As Bhagavad Gita talks about the Absolute Truth, I am confident that you can never find fault in its contents. "The Supreme Lord said: My dear Arjuna because you are never envious of Me, I shall impart to you this most secret wisdom, knowing which you shall be relieved of the miseries of material existence" [ Bhagavad Gita - Chapter 9; Verse-1 ]
Disciple - Thank you very much for the detailed clarifications master. I got clarity. I will start walking in the path of liberation.
Spiritual Master - All proud to God. Stay blessed.
My humble Obeisances To :
