God and World

1.GOD(Reality) has both Nirguna and Saguna.It is perceived as such by the individual.Brahman is without

attributes(Guna).But human mind can perceive things only when a thing has attributes.Therefore, both Saguna

and Nirguna worship is permitted by Vedas.All our great slokas, mantras have both Saguna and Nirguna

aspects.Lalita Sahasranamaa has both Nirguna as well as Saguna Sthuthis; so is in the Vishnu Sahasranamaa.

2.Even in the performance of Karma , we have both Freewill and Determinism.In the Bhagavad Gita, after

elaborately speaking on Karma and Determinism, Krishna tells Arjuna to choose as he pleases(chap 18: sloka

63).

3.Prayer does not change God or the scheme of things.DHUKKA BUK:DHUKKA SADHANAHA(Vishnu

Sahasranamam) .It says God is the repository of pain( pleasure as well, as both are in the mind of the perceiver).

and when we pray, we get the tools to overcome the pain.That is, it changes our perspective in handling

situations.
4.God is not running a store to repay or issue credit or debits.It is a principle to be realised.Otherwise ,anybody

can do anything in the name of GOD.
5.Gita, if studied diligently,can be understood by anybody.What one needs is the burning desire and

application.Hinduism does not promote intermediaries between God and human beings.However,Guru will come

to you on his own if your yearning is strong enough.You may also seek him, but the Guru shall call you

intuitively.
6.Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Ramana Mahrishi need not go to temple.But this Ramanan has to go.We can

not equate LKG with Phd.For beginners,visiting temple and following of Anustaana is essential to create the

mind set to Realising God.
7.The world is,was and shall be .No soothsayer can predict the scheme of things.
8.God has no Nationality.He does not distinquish between Indians and Westerners.If he does that, He is no

God.
9.Realised souls do not proclaim they have Realised for it is indescribable.(Avaktavyam).Most importantly they

do not Blog or manage websites.
