Every single Sufi mystic including Rumi was a follower of absolute truth contained in scriptures of Hinduism like Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads (independent treatises)… even Vedas (Hinduism revelations). What does Advaita Vedanta doctrine propagated by Adi Shankaracharya say… that God Almighty (Brahman) was one and only one and other than Brahman nothing existed in cosmos! The Sufi poet Rumi believed […]
As detailed in Bhagavad Gita miracles were never to be. If spiritual or religious preachers of present times advocate belief in miracles then gullible mankind was most likely to accept them as truth. The fault always laid with the commoner… masses. It was entirely up to us to believe or not to believe. By believing in dogma, rituals we never […]
Karma can be negated to zero only by indulgence in karma, never otherwise. Non-indulgence in karma never eradicates karma forever.

Finally Siddhartha Gautama sat under a bodhi tree for a period […]

Our consciousness, spirit existing in our heart as our soul atman was cosmic energy, much beyond comprehension of human beings. A soul atman can cause explosion of thousands of atomic bombs simultaneously. A soul atman feels comfortable in millions of degrees centigrade temperature.

God (Brahman in Hinduism) was Nirakaar (without a form) and also Nirguna (without an attribute). God can only be realized from within, never seen.

For lay mortals to reach stage of enlightenment, realize god in present life… indulgence in spirituality (not religion) was necessitated.

Literal indulgence in scriptures led nowhere. Path of spirituality demands working for welfare of mankind all […]
Path of spirituality was always indulged all alone. None in this world could ever describe experiences of spiritual path in totality. Everything was subtle, inherent… inexpressible… beyond capture of words! Swami Vivekananda intermittently reached stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi (absolute nothingness) when not a single thought entered our brain uninvoked. Having glimpses into domain of God Almighty was a daily […]
Karma yoga demands that we do unto others what we expect others to do unto us. On path of karma yoga there was no scope for practicing negativity. One all the time worked for welfare of mankind. Working for individual self alone does not constitute indulgence in karma yoga. The scope of karma yoga was large enough to encapsulate entire […]
The adage we have only “one life to live” must be our basic principle of life. Why think of afterlife or principle of reincarnation, rebirth. As the present human form was manifest by our soul atman, we had only one life to live… the present earthly domain. Whatever we need to accomplish has to be achieved in this very life. […]

Our ego (Aham in Hinduism) always takes care that human beings lived for their individual self and never others. Travelers of spiritual path, seekers always lived for others, never the individual self.

Before existence of any other religion in this world existed Hinduism (called Sanatana Dharma in Vedic times)… something that existed from times immemorial… prime reason why Hinduism is also called a way of life.

All goddesses in Hinduism though attribute of God Almighty represent the manifest creation… the visible world, nature… prakriti (as we called it in Hindi). Human beings must offer all their worship, prayers directly to Brahman (God)… the Sanatana Purusha. If Mother Nature did not exist, God Almighty could never have manifested itself. For souls’ atmans to manifest, presence of […]
For living human life in a meaningful manner belief in God was not necessitated. Many atheists could be found world over living a happy life.

Lord Krishna, an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form)… a diplomat! If re-establishing of dharma (righteousness) could be termed diplomacy then Lord Krishna was truly a perfectionist of the highest order… much above the level of an enlightened one or a Chanakya!

In case matching parents are not available the soul atman hibernates in heaven or hell… in heaven, if the residual […]
The ultimate purpose of life for a human being was emancipation from cycle of birth and death at the earliest. Enlightenment could be gained only in human form, never lower forms of life. Belief in doctrine of reincarnation, rebirth was not a matter of choice. It was inbuilt into the cosmic system. We as a soul atman could cleanse self […]
Allegorically Lord Krishna represents soul atman existing in human body. Lord Krishna is always depicted as sarthi (charioteer) of the chariot (human body) belonged to Arjuna. All womenfolk represent senses existing in human body. It is imperative that moment a soul leaves the body, all senses automatically become dead. The bondage between Lord Krishna and womenfolk was natural, one-sided! […]
How do we define a human being philosophically… the sum total of ones thoughts at a given moment of time! What differentiates a king from a commoner? Was it not mental prowess alone?
