What is god? Where is god? Which form is god
in? When god is everywhere, then what is the need for temples and idols? If god
is just one, then why so many incarnations? The list of questions continues. I
am sure majority of today’s society craves for the answers to all the above
questions. Not all have experienced godliness in today’s world which has two
categories of people- atheist and theist. Some find god in the goodness of
their day to day life, while some find it in bringing a smile on the face of
the needy, while some find it in meditating. Understanding the fact that nature
is beyond the visible physical world is what makes a scholar different from an
ordinary learner. Every human being will be subjected to a realization which is
brought about by enlightenment but, sadly not every person knows the way to
recognize this divine gift. Read on to bag a thought provoking story which
attempts to inculcate a ray of devotion in the mind and soul of every being.
Introducing to you, Mr Arun Kumar, who finds
solutions to all his problems by comprehending what the demiurge responds. Yes,
you read it right-god replies him not through words but through symbols and
signals. Being a devotee of the divine being, Arun has unfolded the secrets of
the same. Continue to read his story which has brought a wave of positivity
into his life which undoubtedly creates a cradle for devotion in every reader’s
heart.
Being born in a middle class
family, in a village of Karnataka, he started his journey towards embracing
divinity right from his college days. Reading Swami Vivekananda’s biography
marked a start to his spiritual understanding. Swami Vivekanada’s life
experiences mentored his urge to find the supreme power-Almighty. ”When there
exist multiple languages to communicate with one another then, why can’t there
exist multiple forms of god to worship and feel guided? Forms mean various perceptions
of each individual” divulges he.
God is omnipresent but, capturing
this energy and confining it to an idol is to stabilize ones concentration and
sanctity. Centralizing one’s devotion is not easy if there is no cornerstone.
Idol worship is essential only till one succeeds to congregate holiness towards
god after which it may not be required.
Emphasizing on the fact that god
resides in one’s self led to a
realization stating that serving people, establishing equality and eradicating
discrimination among human beings would help to make this world a better place.
“Sri Sai Satcharitha is a powerful tool which changed the entire me including
my mindset, lifestyle and perspectives” he states.
By achieving a thin thread of
meditation at his early times, he activated his sixth sense which has helped
him stay safe always. Further he adds that god would alert him about
fore-happenings. “There are many instances which gave me symbolic indications
of good and bad which would take place. I got an image of fire in front of my
closed eyes after few days of which my younger brother met with a huge fire
accident. A few days later, I got an image of large oceans which symbolized my
tour over the waters. At a later stage, it made way to a lot more other miracles
to happen.
Sri Sainath fulfilled Arun’s wish to
promote the lord’s preaching by knocking at his strong positive attitude.
“Heaven was right on earth was the feeling I had when the eyes of my favorite
Sai’s idol opened which further opened the doors of my heart to welcome the
live goodness into my life. People from around the country visited home to
witness this wonderful eye opening phenomenon”. This also revealed the fact
that god was a resident of his house. Arun’s embraced divinity was knocked
again when a glimpse of lord Hanuman appeared on the palm of lord Hanuman in a
portrait.
Arun says “god is the jeeva
chaitanya(cosmic intelligence) of every living creature in the universe “. In a
nutshell, leave behind the attachments with our dear ones and the comforts of
the physical world, create and live in a mini world within our minds which
encapsulates us from the external real world, elevating our present
interpretation about life to a level where de facto sense of glory stows,
discovering the inner beauty through the savvy of meditation which makes
interaction with the deific being easier. By constantly following the teachings
of Swami Vivekananda and deeply adoring Sri Sai Baba, he is envisioned to continue
to earn the sacred bounty to spread goodness through godliness.
