Anybody with genuine compassion must find the current world situation to be completely unacceptable and intolerable. Such sensitive persons will thus naturally dedicate their lives for bringing about a positive change on this planet. To positively impact and uplift the global consciousness requires a proper understanding of the root cause of the global quagmire.

The present day society is in chaos because it is not in harmony with the source of its existence. Unless you know where you came from, how can you know who you are and how can you be who you are?  You clearly cannot. Therefore the knowledge of the Absolute Truth, the original generator of all energies, is the most essential knowledge for the entire human society to become peaceful, prosperous, and happy.

What is the difference between a materialist and and a transcendentalist? The materialist thinks that he will live forever, and the transcendentalist knows that he can die at any moment. The real fact is that death is sitting on your head at every moment and can take you at any time even when you least expect it.

You are either sane or insane. There is no in-between. If you know who you are and you are living every day in that reality, you are sane. And if you don’t know who you are, you are insane; you are living in unreality.

A person in ignorance thinks that reality is so painful that it is better to remain in illusion imagining that life is wonderful. But the fully enlightened person knows that life is inconceivably wonderful and beautiful, millions and billions times greater than our tiny brains can even begin to try to conceive. And he lives in and celebrates that reality at every second.

All you have to do to be happy is to be yourself. Nothing artificial is required. The reason that we are unhappy is that we have been trained to see everything in an artificial, highly distorted, false way. In other words, we don’t know who we are. This is why we are suffering. We think that we are these temporary material bodies instead of eternal spiritual beings. The body is just a temporary covering of the actual eternal self.

What is the purpose of life? It is sometimes said that the purpose of life is to ask such questions as this. The desire to discover life’s purpose indicates that life does indeed have a purpose. Otherwise how could there be a desire to discover it? In other words, desires don’t come out of nowhere. They are matched with that which satisfies them.
So just as the hunger of the belly indicates the existence of food, the hunger to know the purpose of life indicates that life does indeed have a purpose. Our duty is to inquire about it’s purpose. If we are determined to find the answer, we will be blessed with it. We will realize that we are meant to re-harmonize ourselves with the original source of our existence.

Why do I exist? This is the most basic, essential question that every human should know the answer to. If we have no idea why we exist, what is the difference between us and the animals? There is no difference. The animals eat; we eat. The animals sleep; we sleep. The animals mate; we mate. The animals defend themselves, and we also defend ourselves. What differentiates us from the animals is our ability to ponder the purpose of our existence. The modern day scientists foolishly tell us that there is no reason at all for our existence, that we are simply the products of a random combination of material elements. But nothing could be further from the truth because order does not arise out of chaos. It’s not that we can throw a stick of dynamite into a stack of building materials and expect to get a nicely constructed house out of the explosion. There has to be supreme organizer behind this creation, and our purpose is to live in harmony with His purpose.

In this material world, whether we like or not, everyone–young, old, and in between–is living on the verge of death because death can come at any moment even when we least expect it. This means that whatever we may establish for ourselves here in this world is nothing more than a castle made of sand that will be completely washed away the next time the tide comes in. So whether one thinks that life ends with the death of the body or that one has an eternal existence beyond this body, there is no reason to take this spot life so seriously as the all in all.

The term nirvana is usually associated with Buddhism. Nirvana means to become free from sufferings of material existence. The Buddhist nirvana takes one to a marginal position on the border between the material world and the spiritual world. This border is sometimes referred to as the Causal Ocean and sometimes referred to as Mahesh Dhama (abode of Siva).

Although this nirvana gives relief from the sufferings of material existence, it does not take one into the awakening of unlimited spiritual bliss and knowledge in a loving relationship with the Supreme Person. The supreme nirvana, in which one awakens the feelings of pure love of God within one’s heart, takes one into a solid permanent identity in the spiritual world as an eternal association of the Lord.

Because our nature as living beings is to be absorbed in loving relationships, the Buddhist nirvana does not permanently satisfy the living being, who will eventually come back down to the material existence to seek satisfying loving relationships or if he is extremely fortunate will progress to the supreme nirvana to give his pure love to the Supreme Person.

Scientists enjoy denigrating religionists comparing them to little children who believe in outrageous fairy tales. But if we take a close look at what the scientists are asking us to blindly accept on faith from them, we will see that is is unscientific dogma.

They want us to accept that the universe came out of absolutely nothing, but there is not even one shred of scientific evidence to support that anything can came out nothing, what to speak of the entire cosmic manifestation coming out of nothing.

Science means to know things as they actually are, not as they appear to be or as we think them to be. If one is truly scientific, he must not blindly accept something as being either true or false because it could in fact be just the opposite. For science to be perfect the instruments used to acquire and analyze the data must also be perfect.

If the instruments are imperfect, the data and conclusions drawn from such  imperfect observation will also necessarily be imperfect. Since all scientific instruments currently available only function within a highly limited spectrum of reality, modern science is still quite unscientific and hence still groping along in the dark ages.
