In the initial stages of spiritual pursuit when I wanted to meet and see God in this very life… my goal of life was always one… I had to live so that I could meet my creator, the omnipotent God (Brahman in Hinduism). Ever since I realized I had only one life to live, the present earthly domain… my anxiety to reach God in this very life multiplied! At times I started fearing God.
Indulging in scriptures like Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads (independent treatises) via teachings of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana… I also realized life was not meant to be feared. As I was a soul atman… a spirit, consciousness manifesting human body… there was nothing to fear ever. Slowly I overpowered my fear of death.
Even while pursuing spiritual goal of life (reaching God)… my effort always was welfare of entire mankind. Being 100% truthful from six years of age I could not use spiritual knowledge for my personal benefit. Working for entire mankind all the time became my passion. I could not forget words of Mahavira (24th Tirthankara of Jainism)… before we could preach anything to mankind… we had to become an enlightened one… a Jina, a bodhi.
All my efforts concentrated around realizing self… knowing the truth of my inner self that existed in my heart as my soul atman. As soul atman was indestructible… could not be created or destroyed… I have practically overpowered death. Realizing the physical manifest body as an outer covering for soul atman, following path of spirituality… indulging in yoga meditation I continued my spiritual pursuit of life all the time. I never went after what people said or did… I just continued pursuing my passion.
I started in search of God six years of age. 31 years of indulgence in spirituality, yoga meditation… I finally succeeded in realizing self in 1993 37 years of age. No sooner that happened, I wanted to quit my life. Maintaining the physical self any further carried no meaning. I ask God… what further? Immediately two images formed before me… that of Mahavira and Gautama Buddha! I could not realize the meaning of the same. After contemplating for above 30 hours I slowly realized the meaning of those images.
Mahavira gained enlightenment at 42 years of age. He wanted to give back to society whatever he gained on spiritual path. He continued deshna (spiritual discourses) for a period of 30 years before leaving his mortal frame at 72. Gautama Buddha gained enlightenment at 80 years of age. By that time his body had become totally frail. Gautama Buddha left his mortal frame a year after.
Having realized self, realized god… I chose path of Mahavira and abandoned my desire to quit life. Since 1997 above 9000 articles essays exist on my different websites including Yahoo! answers. Everything relating to spirituality is made absolutely clear. Still, if someone has a query not covered in the articles… I am available 365 x 24 x 7.
Some of the articles have provided requisites succor to ailing mankind. Many on the verge of suicide decided to quit, starting a fresh life. Every now and then I receive queries how my essays articles are helping mankind at large.
I still have some important tasks to complete. The moment that happens, I shall willingly quit my life.
