Oh God - Part 2

The theme ofGod  BeliefSystem is based on “Sankalpa”.  “Sankalpa” is visualization of the mind, and therefore, it is sort of conditioning  the mind.   Theists are conditioned people, to the effect that “God exists” and Atheists are also conditioned people, to the effectthat  “God does not exist”.  Both are conditioning only.  Besides, “Sankalpa” is a non-existent reality.   In Belief System, there is no scope for spiritual growth.  You can continue to be a believer lifetime.  That’s all.  You cannot establish a contact or link with the divine, except that you pray every day.  In due course of time, you are likely to generate identification with your favorite Deity.  Identification leads to fear.  You become God fearinginstead of becoming God Loving.  If God is also fearful, where can you turn for help?  As long as fear exists, you cannot love at all.  God fearing is the key for superstitions.  Superstition would ruin spirituality.  You would automatically shift from the main path.  As a result, you miss fulfillment in life.  Belief System is only a means, not an end.  As a means it is a fabulous concept.
God Knowing is the path of the Rishi.  It is based on truth.  God Knowing is subjective science.   Therefore, there is no chance for any kind of suspicion because it will be your own experience.  Through God Knowing you attain spiritual growth and transformation.  God Knowing will make you God Loving.   In God Knowing system, you are not dependent on anybody, you are dependent on yourself.  You remain connected with the Divine.  Human evolution becomes complete and thus life becomes fulfilled.    The life after death also becomes smooth and natural. 
There are no shortfalls in so far as God Knowing system is concerned because it is path of awakening.  The only hitch, if at all, is that it is a task to achieve.   You have a definite goal in front of you.   One has to be a true seeker, with devotion,  complete sense of surrender and unfailing in one’s own duties.
Any Tom, Dick and Harry can become a “Believer”.  There are no special norms or criteria.  It is so easy, and nothing to do in particular, whereas any Tom, Dick and Harry cannot be a God Knowing person.  In order to know God, you have   to persevere.  Man is basically lazy.  He is enthusiastic only while thriving for money and other selfish motives.  He wants God.  But he would rather prefer a short-cut, if possible.  Hence Belief System flourished all over the world.  Actually Belief System is an excuse and a short-cut too.
Why do you believe in God at all?  It is because you do not know God.  That’s why you are compelled to follow the Belief System.  The word “belief” fits in onlywherever and whenever you are ignorant about anything.  If you “KNOW”, there is no need to believe.  Isn’t it?  For example, you don’t have to believe that the sun is very much out there in the sky, because you already KNOW the sun is.  It is your experience.     When you follow the path of Belief System,   you miss God in his original splendor and beauty, because you automatically fall into a world of imagination coupled with little bit of suspicion also, perhaps.  Alas !
This is what SadguruRishidev Sri Narendranji is appealing to the world.  Oh Blessed Souls of the world, please come out of your utter ignorance.  God is the only REALITY in life.  That Reality is pulsating in you day in and day out.  You don’t have to believe it.  It is your very birth right to experience it as you experience the full moon light.  All miseries in life are due to the ignorance of the Supreme Reality.  Man narrowed down the mammoth and all-encompassing Truth to a small idol.  He got completely identified with his favorite idol and suffers the rest of his life by unknowingly paying the penalty time and again. This is the blindness and this is the ignorance of man.  He has abundance of education.  But he is not aware of his own reality.  The treasure is within, but man is searching for the treasure all over the world outside.  What a pity !
