GOD REALIZATION

GOD REALIZATION Positivity and Purity Every Paradise has a Serpent This world is beautiful. The only problem is that we cannot enjoy it. This world cannot be enjoyed by any man while in it. There are always some problems—boredom, troubles, evil, disease and eventually death. Everyone wants to enjoy life on earth but no one has really been able to—what is the reason for this? It is because this world was not meant for a person to enjoy it. It has been made only for a test. Just like a student in an examination hall cannot enjoy his time in it, in the same way we cannot enjoy ourselves in this world. We have to take the test and try to pass it. If we do not attempt it, we will fail. This world is for trial but man wants to relax or indulge in it. Just as the best of foods eaten in excess lead to troubles and pain, the same is the case with our life. Too much of anything in this world, will result in problems—boredom, poor health, tiredness. We must soon realize that we have no other option but to accept the ‘test’ that God has set for us. We must accept the Creation Plan of God. Scientific Argument There are two distinct periods in the history of religion—pre-scientific period and scientific Period. Prior to 18th century, in the pre-scientific period there was a traditional framework of thinking. From the 18th century onwards, the framework of thinking is based on science. In the pre-scientific period, religion consisted of man’s own ideas—the oceans, mountains, sun, moon and other objects of nature were worshipped and held in veneration. In the scientific or modern world, in which man had set foot on the moon, the god-ship of moon and other natural objects came to an end. These natural objects and phenomena are now not looked upon as gods. Science has given man an opportunity to come out of the age-old myths and seek the truth. It has brought him out of darkness and into the light. Science made people realize that the things that they used to worship as gods cannot help or harm them in any way. We have to come out of all distractions and devote ourselves to the purpose of discovery of God. To realize God, we must purify our souls.
