Sri Ravishankar has raised some questions, some are from genuine seeker
while others on account of insufficient study of scriptures (looks like
the study is done from books not from the one who has mastered some Ved
and can answer the true import of Ved).
The basic premise of Sanaatan Dharm is : a human being should live his life
useful to the society and sustain life respecting all beings giving room for
other beings live their lives. The goal is : well being of all living on the
planet.
Sanaatan Dharm - What is Sanaatan Dharm? Sanaatan means
eternal, so the Dharm which is valid for all times, which has no beginning
and therefore has no end, that is called Sanaatan Dharm. Whatever was true
and applicable yesterday, is true and applicable today and will be true and
applicable tomorrow too, that is Sanaatan Dharm Those who follow the Ved
with faith,
in parts or whole. are all Sanaatan Dharm followers.
Sanaatan Dharm is no theory, it is practical way of living
to benefit the follower of Sanaatan Dharm and the society which is a mix of
believers and otherwise of Ved.
Sanaatan Dharm details giving directions the way an individual from
different groups of people should live to benefit the follower and the
society, thus dedicating one's life for the societal cause sustaining the
planet. Karm or action is a translation of what in theory is Dharm or the
responsibility in layman terms, though Dharm has a wider connotation
encompassing gamut of entire animate and inanimate spectrum.
A Chat with GOD
God: Hello. Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No, who is this?
God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I would chat.
Me: I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.
God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Me: Don't know. But I can't find free time even to pray anymore. Life has
become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.
God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results.
Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was not
expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
God: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some
clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are
comfortable with.
Me: Tell me, why has life become so complicated now?
God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it
complicated.
Me: Why are we then constantly unhappy?
God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are
worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's
why you are not happy.
Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.
God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified
without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that
experience their life becomes better not bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test
first and the lessons afterwards.
Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free
from problems?
God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to
Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance,
not when you are free from problems.
Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know
where we are heading to.
God: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading to. Look
inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide
sight. Heart provides insight.
Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than
moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as
decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you
rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Me: In tough times, how do I stay motivated?
God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to
go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Me: What surprises you about people?
God: When they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask
"Why me". Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on
the side of the truth.
Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't get the answer.
God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop
looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a
process of discovery but a process of creation.
Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.
Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.
Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to
start the day with a new sense of inspiration.
God: Well, Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and
doubt your beliefs.
Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Trust me.
Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

Ved talk about Truth, knowledge, Reality and many other things, and all this is
termed as A-Vidyaa, Maayaa, Prakriti, etc. by different names in different
philosophies. In fact these are different terms used to describe only one thing
- that is : what is not Real, or Truth or Satya. Sage Vyaas is born to sage
Paraashar from Satyavatee who in reality was a Divine girl but raised by a
fisherman. She was not born to the fisherman family but was given to him to
raise because of a curse. She was a celestial nymph in reality. Thus Vyaas Jee,
the Avataar of Vishnu, is a born Braahman. It is a sin to analyze the Kul
(family) of Vyaas who transcended all Ved. In those Pauraanik times Rishi were
married and many were Gyaanee; but in Kali Yug this will not work since people
are not born with a firm mind. Advocating marriage for saints in this Yug will
degenerate the Sanyaasee.
There is no rule anywhere, that to become Gyaanee one should be only Braahman.
There are innumerable devotees even of recent history merging one with God by
their Bhakti or Gyaan. Gyaan can be attained by all and is a birth right, only
one has to make oneself eligible by negation of what is not there. As long as
one holds to what is not there! one can never realize " Existence".
