Shake off this negativity messing you up inside out!
By Vivek Sharma
I don’t believe in God! Does He exist? He doesn’t I am sure. Had He existed the world would have been a better place to live in….This world is led by the crazy and you have no option but to be crazier to survive in the dog-eat-dog world!
These are the common views which a majority of today’s generation has adopted as dharma—the right idea. I don’t blame them alone. I blame the generation which, no matter how very wise they were, divided the time into four zones—satyug, treta, dwapar, kaliyug. Maybe, this division was done to make people understand and get prepared to survive in that particular time zone through a counter measure. To that extent this time zone observation was okay. But, now look what it has led to? It has made people believe that they are in the kaliyug time frame and they have no option but to accept all the evil prevalent around. This acceptance of the evil is where I get very angry. Corruption has become part of our life, not because Kali is prevalent, it is because, we are weak and have given negative forces an acceptance beyond a natural balance. In fact, we must believe in God more now and resist the corrupt, the evil and the negative mentally, emotionally and physically, whichever way suits you. The idea is that you don’t allow the negative to enter your zone and mess you up inside out. See, this is what is happening all around. A is holding the topmost position in a company, but he is no good at dealing with the negative. He is negative, because he has fully accepted the negative and now playing it out full blast. Does he have the right to complain against the greater negative being played out then by his boss?
Point To Remember
Just keep in your mind that the time only exists in terms of memory. Something which gets into the memory is the past. The present is the projection of that past and the future is another projection of the past only in the given present situation. It is all in the mind. Just throw it out. In fact, Krishna asked Arjuna to throw it out by telling him that He alone is Time, so that Arjuna accepted the Reality That He is instead of the figment of his memory! I know many scientists and spiritualists shall crack at this idea of mine. But, let me ask them—what happens when you are not there? The time stops for you. But, you are a memory of your associations and hence you exist as the past tense in their memories. You shall be projected through them in the present and through present in the future. In fact, that projection wouldn’t be real as it would their understanding about you and not the real you. Just see that there is nothing real but your own memory, which is playing around with you. If you can go beyond it, you have reached your own dimension which is timeless as time dies when you cross over the memory or your memory dissolves into Universal Consciousness. When you have entered the Universal Consciousnesss, your individuality, that is your memory and ego, matter nothing. They practically exist not as you become all and beyond the concept of all then. Now this All-ship or All-hood is what we intuitively call God, the Almighty. So if God doesn’t exist, you don’t exist too. But, you are there, so God is there too! You have no power to reject this basic principle of universality. Therefore guys, just know that God is your evolutionary reality. But, since you have accepted the opposite, the negative, the evil, the kaliyug and allowed this falsity to make a home in your system, you live falsely and die falsely, getting scared all the time by the negatives of your own creation!
Propagation Of Falsehood
+From generations and generations the falsehood and negativity is being introduced into the next generation. Had your parents told you like the mother of Nachiketa that “You are God Yourself,” you would have been a different breed all together. But, now even the best of the believers and seekers of truth, can’t reject the falsehood on their own and hence the conflict of the right and the wrong creates in them the doubt. This doubt is a deadly disease. It promotes anti-knowledge and robs you of the love and respect for truth—that you are God in the making. You have created this battle of the right and the wrong within yourself by accepting the wrong as powerful and dominating under the influence of your memory or may be acquired from others’. Hack it off firmly with the sword of right knowledge and stand tall in the sun of reality—that you yourself are God!
Don’t give me the credit for this. Krishna Himself has revealed all these facts in His discourse to Arjuna. It is sad that we believe in the conclusions drawn by a few western minds against the real wisdom of our ancestors. It is sad that we don’t apply our minds to understand and check the veracity of such conclusions, even when a majority of these western minds are fast accepting and absorbing the wisdom of the ancient Bharat as the way of life! We have many forms of God and we still believe that He is beyond all forms too. But, each form is nothing but a unique quality of God. But, a few fools saw it as polytheism and began lecturing us against it. Our God is universal all—He is with forms and without a form too. But, the poisonous seed of disbelief sown in our minds by the snobbish few has now become a tree of doubt and disbelief. We are to blame for it too as we allowed such silly ideas to influence us. There is no option now but to uproot it, burn it away and say, “I do believe in God! He exists in all and everywhere, I am sure. The world is still going on just because He exists. Now it is our responsibility to make the world a better place to live in by uprooting and killing the negativity growing all over in violation of the universal balance of co-existence.
Krishna says it all through two shlokas.
अज्ञश्चाश्रद्धानश्च संशयात्मा विनश्यति।
नायं लोकोस्ति न परो न सुखं संशयात्मनः।।
People with negative bent of mind and without respect and love for the real fact, always remain doubtful and get destroyed. This doubt of theirs robs them of worldly happiness and spiritual joys both.
तस्मादज्ञानसम्भूतं हृत्स्थं ज्ञानासिनात्मनः।
छत्त्वैनं संशयं योगमातिष्ठोत्तिष्ठ भारत।।
That is why I say O Bharat, get up and unite with the Reality by cutting off this negativity born doubt in your heart with the sword of right knowledge. (Needless to say, right knowledge only comes after an honest research into and experience of the reality of existence.), Krishna says it all.
